And when Japanese artists finally perform overseas, Japanese fans often fly there too and take front row spots. They can easily watch them both in Japan and abroad, while overseas fans may only get one rare chance. Sometimes it really feels like a privilege gap.
A lot of people have already mentioned it, but as someone who has visited concerts across Europe easily, I have to say it would be nice if Japan made concerts more accessible for foreigners.
I’m fine if you prefer lottery systems and this doesn’t bother me, but it would be nice to be able to purchase a ticket without the need for a Japanese phone number and address, without face verification, and it would be nice if I need a refund I wouldn’t have to use a Japanese bank account only.
If you are doing all of these because you want mostly Japanese visitors and are trying to avoid scalpers, that’s fine, but don’t act surprised later why foreigners can’t get to your shows.
The main problem is that international fans want to see concerts in Japan but can't because buying tickets is very difficult and involves many rules and procedures for verification. Even if they follow the rules, they may still be denied entry. Therefore, the issue lies with the artist management teams and concert organizers regarding whether they welcome international fans. This includes implementing systems that allow foreigners to purchase tickets or merchandise without hindering domestic fans. Believe it or not, there are many people who love and are ready to support Japanese artists, but various Japanese systems prevent them from fully supporting them.
Japan's issue is because of the hurdles they make to buy tickets, no video/photos allowed to be taken and SHARED with the world, and because of all this there's no content and artists post no content. The fact is Japan and it's artists don't want you to see them.
