20 July Concert Delayed Viewing
A delayed viewing of the 20th Anniversary Concert will be held on the eve of KinKi Kids' debut! The viewing will be held at several locations across Japan, and even in Taiwan and Hong Kong (!!!). This is basically like a movie viewing of a concert DVD with tons of other fans \:D/
Date: 20 July
Time: 2PM & 7PM
Locations on the website linked.
It seems the tickets are not limited to fanclub members for this event! So if you're near any of the listed locations, you may want to furiously refresh the ticket pia website link at the bottom of the page come 16 June, 6PM. Each person is allowed to purchase 4 tickets for each showing.
20 July radio programme
As you may know, KK has a super long running radio programme called Donnamonya. The radio station that broadcasts this programme is doing a 3 hour long 20th Anniversary Special programme. Fans are welcome to submit their well-wishes/messages to kinki@joqr.net with the subject title: 特番.
Recommended topics are;
(1) Me and KinKi Kids' 20th Anniversary - When did you first meet KK? And when did you start listening to Donnamonya? Please share your thoughts on the KK then!;
(2) What were you doing 20 years ago?;
(3) Is this "out"? - This is Tsuyoshi's corner where he gets mail from fans talking about their weird likes/dislikes (e.g. someone once said that he really likes girls who look & behave like their names and asked if that was "out" for Tsuyoshi)
(4) Report - This is Kochi's corner where fans "report" to him about recent events in their lives. Sometimes fans tell him that they are getting married but will still love KK, and they get lovingly hated on by Koichi because he's still single. HAHAHA.
Other KinKi related news:
Not sure where to put the solo stuff so they're listed below. In particular, the tickets for the summer shows that Tsuyoshi will be performing at are NOT limited to fanclub members so it's a great opportunity for overseas fans to see Tsuyoshi LIVE. He will be releasing a new album soon (more info here) so he'll probably be performing new and funky songs!
Tsuyoshi
14 July: Premiere of Gintama (latest trailer here)
19 & 20 August: Performance at Summer Sonic 2017 (line-up of artiste + new awesome photo of Tsuyoshi here)
17 September: Inazuma Rock Fest (with TM Revolution! More info here)
Koichi will be touring Japan and performing his musical SHOCK from September till November (more info here).
OP note: I feel like I'm gonna feel a serious lack of KK after 21 July because the frequency of events will likely decrease after the peak in July.
