Summer Tour Tickets Information



Okay, ticket information is in!

IF YOU WANT A TICKET, PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY.

1. There is a limited number of tickets that we can ballot for. Also, as the Kanto tour has been pushed back until September, these West Japan shows are going to be VERY hard to hit for, so please don't expect that we'll definitely hit for your tickets. Also, don't expect amazing seats; even the Japanese fans agree that this is a  "anywhere is better than not going" situation.

2. Each ticket is 6,500 yen, PLUS w-inds. day's unavoidable 700 yen for postage to our house. As we are doing this through our own FC accounts, we cannot reroute the tickets to another destination until we have them. Also, I'm requesting an extra 500 yen to cover my terrible bank fees. So each ticket will cost 7700 yen.

3. If you hit, we will tell you on May 26th. You then MUST PAY by May 29th. Due to the strict time limits we're under, only Paypal will be accepted, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation. If this schedule is not good for you, then we're really sorry, but you won't be able to participate in this time's ticket balloting.

4. We know many people want to go to many shows. However, we're only able to try to get you tickets for UP TO three shows, depending on demand. Please understand.

If this is okay, please send us an e-mail at futarigafutaride@gmail.com before May 19th. In the e-mail, please send us a list of what shows you want to try for. We'll be in contact with you!

    w-inds. worldwide 十周年剪贴簿活动!

    w-inds. worldwide 十周年剪贴簿活动!


    为了恭贺风团出道十周年, 我们打算制作一本剪贴簿!
    各位只需设计一张A4纸大小的卡, 我们将会把它打印出来钉成一本簿子, 然后于 428 十周年演唱会时把它放进礼箱.

    页面设计规则:
    可以画画, 放些家乡的照片, 写写对风团的种种感激,心声...敬请自由发挥. (但请别放些性感暴露的照片)

    活动截止日期:
    4月24日, 请寄给 futarigafutaride@gmail.com

    如果打印出来颜色还是画面出现些问题, 我们可能得进行些许更改, 若成品还是有点奇怪, 请别生气哦!

    还有, 基于日本最近发生那么多灾难, 也许放些慰问,鼓励的话会挺好的. 但这也是大家的选择.

    剪贴簿成了后 (如果有时间的话), 我们会把它放在线上让大家观赏.

    请踊跃参与, 我们期待大家的作品哦!

    谢谢


    (Thanks, Zhijun!)

    w-inds. worldwide 10th Anniversary Scrapbook Project!

    We'd like to put together a book of messages to w-inds. congratulating them on their 10th year anniversary.   To do this, we'd like each fan to design their own page for us that we'll print out and put in a scrapbook. We will put this scrapbook in the present box (if all goes well this time) on 428.

    We'd love for you to make your page as personalized as possible. You can use your art, pictures of yourself or your hometown, your handwriting, things like that. Just please use your best judgement (i.e., no "sexy" or too revealing pictures).

    We also want you to convey your love for w-inds. as much as possible! Creativity is key!

    You must submit your page to our e-mail by April 24th, 2011. Please send it to futarigafutaride@gmail.com

    We don't really know what kind of specifications to give to people about size and things like that, but just be aware that if it prints out strangely, we might have to edit it to make it work...and if it just looks strange, ...don't be mad at us?

    [EDIT]: Paper size will be A4 so if your program can adjust to that size, please do so :) 2500 x 3300 pixels please!!

    Also, considering the circumstances, it might also be nice to include well wishes for Japan's speedy recovery. It's up to you though, everyone can do whatever they want.

    After we make the scrapbook (and when we have time) we'll put the submissions into an online album for all of us to be able to see.

    We're looking forward to seeing your submissions!

    Thanks,

    -Ash and Melissa

    w-inds. worldwide UPDATES!!

    w-inds. worldwide updates - 3/22/2011

    Due to the Earthquake, w-inds. worldwide suspended its activities for a short period. We'd like to take the opportunity to thank all of you for being patient and understanding during this trying time in Japan. Before we continue talking about ourselves, we want to list the charity information we received over the past few weeks.

    HOW TO DONATE:


    Some Japanese charity sites:
    w-inds.POWER 
    http://justgiving.jp/c/2042
    w-inds. POWER is a fundraising drive started by a w-inds. fan for w-inds. fans. The w-inds. members themselves have endorsed this group and have been rumored to have donated to it as well.

    Tiny Voice Productions 
    https://justgiving.jp/c/1729
    w-inds. producer Ryosuke Imai also started a fundraising drive on the same website. Many w-inds. fans have donated here.

    **You must pay by mastercard or visa to donate to these sites. You can read the English guide here: http://justgiving.jp/pdf/justgiving-man.pdf?110318

    For foreigners in Japan:
    To donate at FamilyMart, go to the FamiPort. Click 募金. Push 日本赤十字社 button. Then enter the amount & take receipt to counter.

    Some foreign charity sites:
    American Red Cross: http://bit.ly/9vB6io

    Feel free to leave a comment listing other charities!

    PHOTOBOOKS

    Those of you who ordered a photobook from us: We've received them, but we've been waiting for our Paypal limit to be reset. We're really sorry for the inconvenience and we'll be taking measures from now on to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future. We'll be sending out invoices soon for shipment costs.

    VIDEOS


    We will start working on videos again this week. We didn't find it appropriate to keep uploading them at a time when everyone's attention should have been elsewhere, but we're ready to get back in the saddle.

    BOUQUET

    Unfortunately, the w-inds. worldwide bouquet had already been finished prior to the cancelation of the Three Fourteen concert and therefore we couldn't get a refund for it. However, we've made a deal with the florist and Melissa and Ash will pay to have it remade for 428 provided that the concert still takes place.

    MESSAGE PROJECT


    We're going to start a message project for worldwide fans to e-mail us a message to deliver to w-inds.'s present box on 4/28. We'll have more information about this soon.

    GOODS

    As we said before, due to our banks and paypal's policies, we're going to have to work on a more efficient system for goods and money collection. This will mean some limitations are going to have to be put on how much people can order or spend. We haven't worked out the system yet, but we'll let you know in the near future.
