I'm so happy they're getting a national tour!! I wonder if Covid precautions will limit the attendance numbers. Here's a quick list of venue capacity according to Wikipedia: - Hiroshima Green Arena: 5,000 - 10,000 max - Marine Messe Fukuoka: 13,000 - Osaka Castle Hall: 16,000 - Sekisui Heim Super Arena: 7,000 - Tokyo Garden Theatre: 8,000 - Nippon Gaishi Hall: 10,000 I am concerned about the number of concerts though. They're performing 2-3 times every weekend for six weeks straight... that's a big risk for overwork. Especially considering Nao is still on hiatus, and Miipan and Manamo's health breaks weren't too long ago. Same with injuries, Bemiho hurt her knee during cheer and Katoshi has been looking tired. I hope management lets them rest through August before concert preparations begin.
yes, Covid will limit it. currently the guidelines is there's an empty seat or 2 every alternate seat or pair of seats(if fans buy tickets in the max limit of 2). also, no voice cheers is allowed, that's why the cheering/clapping balloon sticks. Vaccination isn't expected to complete till at least November, even that the vaccination minister Kono said that it is a high hurdle due to current supply issues. August-September are 2 critical months because they are just feeling the effects of the Olympics with some foreigners and journalists flouting the guidelines. concerts in September are probably high at risk of being postponed if another state of emergency is announced in those provinces.

to prevent spread of Covid, they have added another guideline for Fukuoka and Osaka that is the schedule of entrance by Arena Blocks / Stands to prevent overcrowding . https://www.hinatazaka46.com/s/official/news/detail/E00177?ima=0000
