Photoshoot rules are common sense: You take turns to shoot the models of your choice. You can direct them how to pose but don’t ask for anything inappropriate. Never touch the models even to show them how to pose. Don’t ask for any personal information.
March 16th – Tokyo Idol Theatre
Yune’s regular monthly performance at the Tokyo Idol Theatre, the most prestigious venue for underground idols. She is now well established as the most talented junior idol singer and her events are becoming more and more popular. Yune appears twice this day.
Junior Solo Singers Event
The first event has 18 young singers perform a song each. The doors open at 13:10 for a 13:25 start. Afterwards, at 14:55 goods sales will be held in the area outside the stage. You will be able to meet and get a picture with Yune and the other junior idols. You are recommended to buy advance tickets for this part since it sometimes sells out.
Yune’s Solo Event
The second event is for Yune only and she will perform five or six songs. Her stage opens at 16:25, and ends at 17:00. Straight afterwards she will run goods sales in the area outside the stage. You will be able to meet her, take pictures with her or buy goods.
Where: 8F Shidax Hall, Shibuya, Tokyo (map)
The Shidax Culture Hall is in a distinctive building very close to the famous Tower Records in Shibuya (on the opposite side of the road). The venue location is on the 8th floor. Exiting the elevator, the hall entrance is to your left. The area in front of and beyond the entrance is used for goods sales.
Tickets: There are no reservations for this event. However, you can buy advance tickets for Yune’s shows, or any of the other idols in the same venue that day from livepocket (wait and it will convert to English). Each show is 1000 yen except the solo singers event, which is 2000 yen. You can also buy front row seats or an all day pass (called an “A ticket”). First sale tickets are awarded by lottery, “secondary sales” will occur if the lottery sales don’t run out (get one of these if you don’t get an email confirming you won in the first sales). It’s a bit confusing but the hall doesn’t usually get full so you will not have a problem getting an ordinary ticket.
Each ticket has an “admission number” allocated at random and when the show starts they will call out numbers in order and you enter when your number comes up. If you don’t know Japanese, you will need to ask for help.
If the shows don’t sell out, you can buy a ticket on the door at the same price of 1000 yen. People who buy on the door must wait until the end to enter, they will say “toujitsuken no kata” (day ticket people) when it is your turn.
You can take pictures and movies in Yune’s events. You cannot use flash, and must stand at the back if you want to use a tripod. Other events have different rules, translate the lineup page for details.
March 30th – Petit Bear School Photoshoot
Yune heads into the mountains for a photoshoot in an old school. See this article for details.
