Libera Dreams

The tour in Japan is now officialized on the official site
https://libera.org.uk/news/japan-tour-announced

The tour organizer Kajimoto tweeted today a mysterious message, with a question mark drawn above a group photo of the boys.



Google translator says :

"Everyone of Rivera (Rivera fan).
On Friday, 10th (Friday), there is a "small but very big" announcement. Heh-hee ... Look forward to it."

Any guess about what it could be ?

It has got to either be the videos being released or some sort of special event in Japan; maybe an autograph session like they did last time? I cannot imagine it being anything else.

It says a small surprise so the front cover of the new album ?

At first I thought the same as you Dani, for the CD cover
but, the tweet comes from Kajimoto and not from Libera Records, so I wonder if it's a sign that the surprise could be more related to the tour in Japan than to the CD itself.


Small... Big... what it could be
...perhaps the boys will appear at an event that involves a Sumo guy, like they did for Mao Asada last year ?

Hmm , so tour related intriguing

The small-big announce is the launch of a Libera loyalty card from the cultural chain 'Tsutaya', in Japan.

Read all the information ---> here (in Japanese)



The card offers also an entry for a lottery to win signed goodies.

I tried to order one on the Tsutaya site, all on Japanese pages.
I successfully created an account and proceeded till the order confirmation, but at the very last step my foreign credit card was declined

Too bad, but it is not all lost, the card will also be on sale on the concerts venues, limited to one per person though.

Wow, nice! I am a collector of all kinds of Cards (phonecards, giftcards...) and this card would be a jewel in my collection. 'Tsutaya' is a normaly a big japanese store for renting CDs and DVDs and you can find a store in every small town. Mmmh, perhaps they use this name for other companys? I have a bank account in Japan, perhaps I can order one card? I will try it. I let you know, if I am successfull. Kind regards from China!!! Ludwig

I took a look at the tickets sales on the 3 concerts planned in Japan.

The Orchad Hall at the Bunkamura in Tokyo has a capacity of 2147 seats.
- For the concert on May 29, 1921 seats are sold (89.5%)
- For the concert on May 30, 1894 seats are sold (88.2%)

The main Hall of the Osaka International Conference Hall in Osaka has a capacity of 2739 seats.
- For the concert on June 2, 1617 seats are sold (59%)


This is the tickets sales for the concert on May 29

I found Today a libera Poster for the Japan Tour! Soooo beautiful and only available in Tokio! Look my Video please.

Thanks for posting that video Ludwig.
Were those posters offered for sale or just available for the taking?

I found some for taking in a very hidden place at tower records shibuya. I was so surprised, I couldn't believe it! You have to imagine, that it is very hard to find a single CD of libera in japan, but this rare poster... And the most people who are working at the record stores do not know libera. Libera is in the department classical music, where not so many people are there to buy some records. I think promotional material is for every collector the crown of their collection.

What size is it ?
Is it really a poster, or is it an A4 flyer ?

At the last concert at the Bunkamura in April 2012, tons of A4 flyers were freely available at the venue lobby

It is between DIN A4 and DIN A3. It could be that "Tons" of These existing, but you have to fly to Japan with extrem costs to get one and search hours and days for this promotion... And I visit many Record Stores and there was not a single one of this. For me it is very worthy...
