Direngrey
so if anyone could clear me up on this..*coughs*divinebled*coughs*
i be really grateful! |
Okay Jrocker21, I may have cleared this up **loophole**
From what I am reading on their official site, besides what you get is how to join. Now I know that A [knot] is for Japanese fans, however A[knot] may now go international. I did convert the currencies, to figure out what you would pay just to join.
"The membership fee 1,000 yen + the yearly member ship fee 5,000 yen = ￥6,000" Converting this, you would pay :$ 56.92
and also according to their website, you would only pay the memebership fee of 1,000 yen ONCE. and then pay the yearly one, yearly which will be:
5,000 yen= 47.44 USD **all conversions courtesy of xe.com***
The other thing is because you are considered an international fan, you may have to pay a bit more, I guess.
My thing is, do the exact same thing as Japanese fans will. Follow the same EXACT instructions as listed on their official website:
"How to sign up. Please read carefully.
Please apply for membership after reading the directions carefully.
Enclose a 80-yen stamped return envelop on which puts your address and name and send a mail to the following address. When you receive a payment slip, fill in a form and apply for it at your local post office.
To 「a knot」Membership, Pacific Capital Plaza Building 6F, 4-8-6 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0032 Japan"
Do the EXACT same thing, only thing is you'll pay more for shipping the fees.
I hope this clears things up a bit for you. Also, I can petition for them to open up A[Knot] US, UK and Germany. I believe that they are also going to extend a [Knot] due to all of their fans worldwide. I will talk to their label and see what they say, ok?
And you're right their tour " Death Over Blindness has completely sold out in Japan, and again they are going to record a new CD, and tour the US and Europe soon. I will keep you posted as they finish up their Japan tour.
