Thank you for posting, I wonder if it will just be the two dates, as it seems a long way to go just for two nights

It doesn't *seem* a long way to go for 2 nights, its IS a long way to go!
How much is a roundtrip to Tokyo first off, and can't be less than 12 hours on a plane.

And I thought flying to London for Suede at RAH was a bit much....

Want to go but I don't know if I can save up in time. Would be a kick ass holiday!

Or even not that far: a tour in Europe?

What about a tour in Belgium?

Anyway, great news for Japanese fans.
Ah, if I had the money....

I wouldn't bank on that. After all the moaning about money lost on their recent N American tour, I should think they're not that eager to come back any time soon. Again though, I suppose it would depend on how well the new album does in N America. I'm not sure it will make waves, but anything's possible.

They did mention almost religiously that they'd be back in 2 years, but after 10 long years of neglect, I don't think many of us are holding them to that promise.

Anyway, lucky Japanese fans! Hope all those checking them out have a fab time.

When I/we spoke to Sean in New York, he seemed quite confident that they'd be back in the US fairly soon. He was well aware of the financial loss they were making and was talking about doing more summer festivals to finance a return tour. Don't quote me on this, obviously, but he said something to that effect.

Well, given the reception they received in Toronto, I'm sure if they do set up some US dates, I can't see why they would ignore the Toronto market...in fact, I'm confident they could play more then one show here.

Also, if you're reading this boys, should you make a trip over the Atlantic, do try and play Montreal as well. There were so many fans from Quebec at your show in Toronto and they were at a loss as to why you skipped one of the biggest music markets in N America. Seriously, who doesn't play Montreal?

Hope you're right, Ben. I guess we'll see next year.

Well, when I said the US I meant North America (sorry!

). I'm sure any tour over there would include at least a date in Toronto.

I agree. I reckon Vancouver would have been a good stop over as well. Show the west some love!

I hope I'm right too.

All that way for two dates. Do they have much of a following in Australia/NZ? That would seem the logical follow on unless they do more dates in Asia.

I'd love to go see them in America if they played the East Coast again after missing out last time

I know they've got families and everything now, but going along with this "mass communication" vibe I'd love to see them do a huge world tour.

I'm not sure that's a logical follow on really. They have a history of playing just a few (maybe 2-4) Japanese dates with most recent album releases. I doubt it will lead to a Aus or US tour....

God I hope so.

From what I know they have a reasonable following in NZ. YLAINE was number one on the download charts and got absolutely thrashed on TV/radio. Don't know about in Aus though.

OMG IF THEY COME TO AUSTRALIA I MIGHT JUST ACTUALLY DIE OF HAPPINESS. /melbourneshowmelbourneshowmelbourneshow/

However I doubt they will cos there's not really much of a fanbase (that I know of) here. In fact I only know of about 4 people who actually know of their existence, let alone like them, and they're all from the internet. /facepalm/

It's not fair, they went to the USA after 10 years but it has been longer since they last came here.

EDIT: also the manics are never played on the radio, you can't buy half of their albums unless you special order and the only time I've seen them on telly was 2am on a Monday morning. So I'm going with no Aus dates.
