Reitaisai 14 - 7th May 2017
Kurzov:
Cannot go. Wish I could.
Yukaris Glove:
Well, let's see. When would dinner be? Saturday or Sunday? I'll finally return to ?saka on Monday night so I'll be able to join even if it's on Sunday.
What do you guys usually do? Do you meet to go to the event and then go out together?
And I'd also like to have info on the jazz concert's location if possible.
Btw, do any of you plan to go to this?: https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/special/b/0/touhou_livebox/with_niconico/welcome/hello.html#top
It's a concert of two days (Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th) with circles such as Butaotome, Y?hei Satellite, Cool&Create, IOSYS, Alstroemeria Records, etc. in neighbouring city Chiba. I'll be there. I'm even more excited for this than I am for Reitaisai! You can purchase tickets on Melonbooks. It costs 2500 yen for both days and 1000 and something for only one.
EDIT: Btw, only this year I started to pay more attention to T?h? arrange circles. I've making a list of circle I'd like to check for buying at Reitaisai. Thing is, my favourite circle till now was Tutti Sound, but it seems they don't exist anymore, right? Soo...
Would any of you know about good circles with similar "epic" orchestral arrangements? I also like grandiouse chorus to go along with it a lot :D And I'd also like to find a good circle dedicated to good folk arranges, specially Japanese ones, like this one:

... Or you could also tell me where is the right subforum to be asking this. Thank you!
N-Forza:
Saturday is the concert so the dinner would have to be on Sunday. I have to go back to my place to drop off my circle stuff then I head back out to the restaurant, usually.
The concert is taking place in Shimokitazawa at Music Island O, but if necessary we can arrange meeting up at the nearby station (Shimokitakawa) and walk there together.
Choukaigi and therefore Live Box are the same weekend as M3 so I can't make it.
They usually group music circles by genre at the event so if you find one you like, you can go down a few more spaces in either direction for more along those lines, sometimes. Tokyo Active NEETs has a subgroup called Kokyo Active NEETs which is all live orchestra. I also heard good things about Fox Factory/Kitsune no Koubou too but I don't listen to them so I can't make a recommendation.
CenturyEgg:
Fox factory and Melodic taste are definitely good choices, kokyo active as well. Wave is pretty good but their vocal sampling gets abit repetitive across albums.
Sunday dinner sounds good for me! Oh god I'm so excited hahaha
Yukaris Glove:
Thanks for all the recommendations :D
In any case, judging by what Forza is saying... do you actually have a chance to hear a sample of the albums in each booth?
