so it's a small venue. plus let's not forget that the tickets are not sold out yet.

so it's a small venue.

It's only 122 seats less than Nakano Sunplaza.

[Celedam]

Its official capacity may be only 122 less than Nakano, but again, that's because most of it is SRO. In actual dimensions, it's much smaller.

Again. look at the photo, JonCC.

^ To be fair, that's not a good photo to judge by, because it was taken with a wide-angle lens.

This one is more accurate…

Either way, though, you'll be herded and packed in there like cattle. It's like a mid-sized dance hall.

I'm happy it's a smaller venue because then we can feel closer to them, which is one of the benefits of an overseas event, I think. It's like when Berryz went to Thailand and it felt like fans got to be so close the way it wouldn't happen in Japan, where they are obviously more popular.

[TotallyUncool]

I think that it's a real treat to see a group in a small venue -- you definitely feel a lot closer to the group, you get a much better view, the sound is generally better, and the whole atmosphere is generally much more relaxed, casual, and friendly.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

true...

Celedam, this is also a better photo than the "better" one because this shows the depth.

Foreign concerts are also better because you don't have "that same wota" in the crowd, you have... yanno... gaijin. You have people who don't normally go to concerts, so it changes up the atmosphere and feel from the normal way in japan.
