Everyone! This is the last announcement for the tour!
About the schedule
The schedule has been sent to you, so please check it carefully. Then, please print it out to bring on the tour.
We are meeting at the Taikai grounds on May 3rd. The location is different from last year, so please check carefully.
On May 4th, please meet up again at the Taikai grounds. We will confirm the meeting time at the ‘Rise to Action’ party.
On May 3rd, please read the program schedule provided at the taikai to confirm when we hit the stage.
On both days, please provide your own lunch.
As for movement, I’m sure everyone will want to move about and explore, so it’s fine to individually go to the locations (auditorium, practice hall, hotel, After party location, etc).
Please be aware of when/where you are needed, but for the most part, feel free to move about on your own, if you wish.
There is a public onsen about a 10 minute walk from the station. If you would like to, please check it out and relax. It is open until 11pm.
