Attending AKB48 handshakes: how-to (work in progress)

lol Nooooo I can't. Kojiharu was my kami oshi. Isn't Okabe one of the older Team 8 members?

Haha I won't ask her about a different group, it seems rude lol I think she knows them I saw a video of her talking about them. I actually didn't know it was Okabe Rin then.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll keep those in mind lol

 

For the jacket you bring it yourself. The rest they will provide you one. No need to bring anything.

 

Im sorry if this question has been asked before.

Can u asked member to do sign on photobook as example, that fans brought at handshake event?

I'm heading to my first handshake event soon 23rd Nov, thanks for all the info, I've read through lots of this thread and its super helpful. One of my tickets was going to be with Nako, I recently got an email about returning the CD to get it refunded or changed (? i think i didnt read it after I saw return) but it took so long for mine to actually arrive that i didn't want to bother with that, shall I just write the Nako ticket off or is there a chance I might get to change it to someone else at the venue? Not super fussed but thought i'd ask the experts ^^

Also do they still put up a map of where all the lanes are beforehand, was hoping to get it on my phone to help me navigate the venue

 

Also just to add that they usually have big screens at the venue which mainly show MVs and other performances but every so often they display lists of members, their lane numbers and their stars for oshi-mashi availability in the current slot. You can therefore check the latest situation while you're queueing and that can be particularly useful if there are any last-minute lane changes (although they don't normally happen very often).

 

Oh wow thank you all so much, I will keep an eye on kingrecords and for the stared members, hopefully theres one I'd like to see with a star. It feels kinda surreal that I'm finally getting the chance to go!

 

Anyone attending from 1st slot? It has been years I'm actually kinda nervous. (long time lurker here sorry guys/girls)

 

me, even tho i’m not a morning person i need to get up really early

 

what slot is drink at the hub? lol

 

I'll be there since slot 2 both days. Wait I think my ticket will be for Saturday and Sunday.

 

Late reply but I'm here for slot 1! Got slots all day other then 5 as it's Nakos lol
Not sure what I expected of the event but I feel like I look like a new born taking everything in lol

 

hi im trying to get a ticket for nmb48's handshake 12/22 in osaka, there are 6 slots how do i know what time each slot is exactly?

edit: i found it....lol now my main question, what are the chances if i just purchase 1 ticket?

 

Depends on who you are applying to.
The more popular she is, the slimmer the chance is. Usually I got most of my 1 ticket application, bar those selling out slots.
My question is, are you sure you want to go just with one ticket?

 

Hello! First of all, I don't know if this thread is the right one to ask some things about HS...
This summer (Early August) I'm planning to go to Japan for the first time so I want to go to AKB48 handshake events too. Maybe there will be some of the handshake events of 55th single that will be in August (like what happened with Jabaja).

I know the dates of handshake event aren't out yet. But when they release the days things (buying in chara-ani etc..) happen really fast so I want to clarify some thing in advance...

My purpose is to meet Komiharu and talk to her as much as possible! So I'm planning to just grab tickets for her slots.
Someone could tell me tips about going in handshake event with only her oshi? What's better, concentre all in one slot or going to different slots?
It will be my first time so I don't really know what to do.

Also, I hope 55th single handshake event will match with my schedule because I would prefer this single than SSK single.. I read it's much crowded and there aren't gimmicks..

Also, I'll go with my boyfriend in Japan. Can he acces to the venue if he doesn't have tickets?

Thank you in advance!
