....why am i not japanese? why is life so unfair WAE WAE WAE? By the way this is a very good way of promoting the movie through TOP and an amazing opportunity for the JVIPs to se him up close and personal ^^ I hope they share info.

Lucky JVIPs... for the upteenth time, YG sees KVIPs and JVIPs as official VIPs while other VIPs as potatoes. =.=
namja

WWHHHHHHYYYYYYYY AM I NOT A JVIPS? WHYY? TT.TT THE TOUR POINTS ARE SO TO DIE FOR.
fuuko4869

Sounds awesome.
Also sounds like it'll cost them an arm and a leg each.
o.O

Edit: $1500? Is that just for the hotel?! Oh gawd.
Correction: Looks like it's $2200 max with everything included....
I guess some Japanese obasans could afford that huh o.O
- jj
  
  Holy crap. That's 2 arms and 2 legs form lol
https://twitter.com/#!/elanieyzww xxelxx

jVIPs' privilege. handshake, picture w/ Tabi. omg i miss Tabi. why they're so lucky life is so unfair TT_TT
look at the schedule, i dont mind spending a lot on it
*pack my stuff, move to Japan, sign up as official jVIP.bye everyone
linnunrata

I don't wanna repeat it but can't help: JVIPs are lucky.
Mini fan meeting, handshake with TOP, picturing with him etc.etc..

Am I jelly..? YES!
- jj
  
  The package is so expensive though.. 150,000 yen O___O
  - linnunrata
    
    LOL!
    I continue to support our boys in a humble way...by buying their CDs and DVDs..
  - http://twitter.com/ReinaSuetsugu Reina ♥ 레이나
    
    Yes, but It's a package. XD
    Hotel + T.O.P + Plane ticket. XD Though japanese vips can afford that and they might think that it's cheap.
    - ReonSoru
      
      Sorry, but that's a lie.
      
      Japanese people do not think this is cheap, since this it is quite exactly a full month worth of salary for average salary man and all the students and part-timers will definitely not be able to pay this much money.
      
      In fact, many Japanese fans say themselves that this is crazy and too expensive. The plane ticket to Korea does not cost more than 30,000 JPY and the Hotel for these 3 days should be super cheap as well, so spending nearly 3 times the price is ridiculous!
      
      I am sorry, but could you please stop saying stuff that is not true when you do not know anything about Japanese culture and pricing? Thanks.
      - http://twitter.com/ReinaSuetsugu Reina ♥ 레이나
        
        I'm half japanese. I've studied and worked at JAPAN. I said 'they might' I didn't say 'they WILL.' :) and also, I said that they might think It's cheap is because, you'll be able to meet an ARTIST and shake hands with him, take a picture with him when It's really rare to have that chance. Even if you're a member of OFFICIAL VIP JAPAN, you won't be having the chance to have those kinds. Sorry, but I was offended.
      - http://twitter.com/ReinaSuetsugu Reina ♥ 레이나
        
        Hahahahahahaha. Okay. :))))))))) Sorry to your 'japanese friends' :)))))

      but why only Tabi? Totally envy with them..*I wish to be Top invisible bodyguard, and protect him* whatADream~
      - linnunrata
        
        As far as I know there are tour companies in Japan and Korea which organize that kind of set visits for popular K-dramas or stars when they do movie shooting...So I can say T.O.P is quite popular as a movie star and a BB member!
      - https://twitter.com/najwashah_BBVIP Najwa Shah ♛
        
        TOP is not as quite popular but he totally popular~ :) ..I'm glad he's popular but full of envious of those fanmeeting... T^T #IWishIWasThere...

        we all feel sorry...okey...end of the story,..dun wanna talk bout this thing again...it's like a warning to us...dun ever mention about these incidents ever again..
    - MyDarlingLove
      
      we VIP are so smart YG will make a lot of dough
      - http://twitter.com/sayha0909 seha
        
        of course we are smart...cuz they are genius in making music..so they get the very brilliant fan ever in the world!!!!
  - MyDarlingLove
    
    There should be a fund for international VIPs so that we can fly over and vist korea...make like forein exchange... I am tried of being happy of all these other fan I would also like to be happy!!!hahahaha
    - linnunrata
      
      I absolutely love your idea!
      - MyDarlingLove
        
        Thank you much...sometimes we need to take a funny approach on sadness. hahaahaha
      - linnunrata
        
        We VIPs are very creative and have unique ideas when it comes to be able to see our boys once in our lives.... :)
      - MyDarlingLove
        
        *air five* you get me!!!!
    - ReonSoru
      
      Girls, see my reply to the thread. This is an 1,700 ~ 1,900 USD tour package. Even if you were a Japanese VIP, I doubt that most of us would be able to afford this. (And therefore, there are many jVIPs who still cannot attend.)
      
      =7
      - MyDarlingLove
        
        *nodding*i know i know but i am saying that they get a privilege to flirt with the idea that maybe they could, a lot of people don't have that and will never get a chance that is my point... i have seen so many people from different places sad because Big bang will not even be going to their country or state...But despite that even though i am sad i will continue to be happy for though fans who have never been to a concert or fan meeting get the chance to experience Bigbang live on this tour. *sigh* grinning just thinking about it.
      - ReonSoru
        
        I don't see the big difference in "Flirting with the idea" and not being able to go in the long run and not being able to go in the first place.
        
        And, sorry to be this harsh - people who are joining an Asian - or any other fandom that happens to have it's origin in the other end of the world, not even remotely close to them - fandom will forever have to deal with this problem. Why? Because unless the group is big enough, they will not go anywhere as far as the other end of the world.
        
        So, yeah, if jVIP are lucky, then because their country is close to Korea and BIGBANG have been promoting there for years already.
        
        Maybe, someday they will come to other countries, too. = ] But for the time being, I would like people to stop saying "Oh, lucky (fangroup A)!" or "(Fangroup B) is always getting everything!"... It's the beginning of slander. =7
      - MyDarlingLove
        
        I never said that....Slander? Where is the slander in my comments? You are taking this too seriously. I meant my comment as a joke. I am sorry that you misunderstood but this was supposed to be funny. sorry

Why must I live in Malaysia? :( My life is so ...... OMG
BIGGIEBANG

for how much???
is it free lol!
http://andreacarmelli.tumblr.com/ ohlolliTop

omo, handshake with TOP!!!!! How long would I not let other people touch my hand if I get to shake Tabi's hand! Ah!
- TotobearTop
  
  And a picture with him too!!!! Omg. I would surely frame that picture up! Or print a big sized photo of it and stick it on my wall~
  - http://andreacarmelli.tumblr.com/ ohlolliTop
    
    if you stick it to your wall, you'll never sleep again lol! :D
    - TotobearTop
      
      Hahah you're right XD I would stare at it all day and my homework would not be done! lol
dodo18

there is a reason yg love jvips , they are rich and they are willing to spend ! the rest of us let's remain jelly!
- ReonSoru
  
  ... The old married Japanese wives who are allowed to use up all the money from their rich husbands are willing to spent, yes.
  
  I doubt there will be a lot of young girls at this event. jVIPs are not always as lucky as you may think, so please do not always blame everything on them.
  - dodo18
    
    nobosy is blaming them even if it was held in my country i doubt i would attend at that price anway! solution vips , marry a rich billionaire!!!
    - ReonSoru
      
      It's not about "blaming them", it's about making them look like idiots who would spent any money in the world for such a thing without thinking. I think this kind of behavior and comment towards jvips is rude. And I am not even one of them.
      - dodo18
        
        nobody is blaming them or making them look like idiots , there is a reason why those kind of events are organised for jvips and not for others vips , yg have noticed that they are willing to spend for those events ! and what is wrong with spending for something that make your heart happy? if i had that amount of money i would spend it too. and yes there is reason why yg 70% revenues come from japan. as a vip who can't spent that kind of money i'm happy there is vips willing to spend money on bigbang and support them! i don't see why you are offended . it's quite known that japan is one of the most expensive country out there ; people gains more and spend more .
illy

I want to pack my bags right now and move to Japan.
JVIPs are so lucky! I'm so jealous .__.
linnunrata

If I visit Seoul again, my chance to see TOP and take a picture with him will be with his cutout in a FUBU store!

At least it is free...
- dodo18
  
  bring a pic for me please as i can't even go to seoul!
  - linnunrata
    
    I hope to go there again in a year and I'll do my best for you sis!
    - dodo18
      
      thank you i only have you! japan ruined me , i will need to save my whole life to return in asia again!
      - linnunrata
        
        Yes, same happened to me when I was in Korea but comparing to Japan, Korea is cheaper, that's why I chose to go to Korea.I hope you liked being in Japan.
      - dodo18
        
        youp i liked it but now , i'm on diet !
      - linnunrata
        
        Diet?
        Yes, you must have loved Japan a lot!
      - dodo18
        
        youp i loved it , but my bank account suffered so much , reason of diet !
      - linnunrata
        
        I know what is like- I'm on diet for my next visit to Korea too!
- http://twitter.com/glyn_n muggledore
  
  Went there (FUBU Myeongdong Branch) and will FOREVER regret that I didn't get a picture WITH his gigantic poster!!!!!!
  VIPs!!! Never make the same mistake that I did!!!!!
  
  #Fail
  - linnunrata
    
    I'm sorry you missed it...
    Since we are not that security woman at the airport or lucky rich JVIP, this could be the chance to touch him while taking his photo.. But still you are lucky to be there in Myeongdong!
    - http://twitter.com/glyn_n muggledore
      
      Yeah! That lucky LUCKY girl! I hope she knows it though~ Kkkk! I also got to go to YG Building! However Bigbang was in Japan at that time and 2ne1 was in France!!! *le sigh*

lucky JVips,so envy right now ><
http://twitter.com/Shaz7Teen Shaz Haffiz

there's nothing i can say..but wow!! really envy them
missyeppeo

TOO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAA HANDSHAKE N PIC TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But is it okay to announce this? I hope this won't disturb the filming..
- jj
  
  It's an organized tour so it's ok to announce I guess. They don't allow other people inside the set anyway.
- ReonSoru
  
  We tried to figure out where they held the LOTTE fanmeeting in Seoul the last time (it was also one of these tour packages), but they were super secretive and top-secret about it.
  
  I think not even the participants know about the locations beforehand, the guide is just bringing them there without them knowing where they go exactly.
  
  = It's impossible to find where they are unless you get information from the tour guides and organization themselves. T__T
jhing

jVIP's are really really really lucky! Even though it's not free, but the total package (regardless of the price) is as handsome as Tabi!
It's not easy to see him, handshake and take picture with him! Much more they can watch him during filming!

I sooooooo pity myself! So jealous!

Why the hell I'm not living in Japan!!!!!
- ReonSoru
  
  And if you were living in Japan, you would probably end up saying "Oh, why don't I have the money?!" with all the rest of troubled fangirls.
  
  Get over it. =7

- You’ll be able to watch the filiming.
- You’ll be able to join T.O.P’s mini fan meeting.
- Handshake with T.O.P

love it ! <3 i'm so jelly ~
http://twitter.com/ReinaSuetsugu Reina ♥ 레이나

[ADDITIONAL INFO] The package price depends on the place where the 'vip/visitor' came from. They have 5 different airport. ++INFO. XD ^^ But the price range is 130,000 ~ 144,500yen. Plane ticket, hotel fee and the t.o.p filming tour are all included in the package.
topalltheway

what kind of tour is it ?! or is it a kind of pre-promotion ?
why jvip only again?!! why??

mizskullzzz

so jealous of JVIPz...
http://twitter.com/maggieng919 Maggie NG

bitter and jealous. #cry
ReonSoru

Well, "lucky" jVIP would be if this would be totally for free...

The cheapest of these tour packages - only available for people living in Fukuoka - does cost about 1,700 USD and nearly 1,900 USD from Tokyo and Osaka.

I assume it is the same organization that works with the LOTTE fanmeets. (Which are also jVIP only and do cost about the same amount.)...

I guess only the really desperate, hardcore TOP fans will be able to afford this, all the students and part-timer out there will not stand a chance to book this package anyways. =7 So, in the end it will be all the rich Japanese ahjummas again attending this ~ ~;

LAME!

aww so lucky. i love my country but because of times like this... /sigh/ why do i live in brunei...
