@fkndust Japan is not a multiethnic country, so in many respects its rules differ from those of other countries. However, on a more positive note, the government has allocated a budget of 400 million dollars to support the global expansion of Japanese musicians.
@fkndust However, in Japan, the Ticketmaster app cannot be installed. It may be that the rights and regulations related to ticket sales differ between Japan and other countries. Japan is somewhat unique in this regard and faces many issues in this field.
@fkndust At a concert in South Korea, there was once an instance where tickets could not be purchased without a national identification number. However, apart from that, based on my own experience, I have never had any restrictions when buying tickets for overseas performances.
@fkndust In Japan, events were not originally designed with international visitors in mind. Recently, more tickets have become available for international audiences, but it still feels insufficient.
@fkndust It appears to be a measure to accurately identify ticket purchasers. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, people were asked to avoid traveling between cities. Since then, selection has been adjusted so that only those with local registered addresses can be chosen as winners.
