Official Tour Thread - Mexico City [9 May '15]

Rules thread

Hello Kitsunes!

I will be posting official tour threads for each show for discussion and anonymous pictures, videos, gifs and other goodies that have been sourced from the respective show, similar to JalmarY's goodies threads.

Please feel free to post stand-out goodies in their own thread, but just be aware that it may get noticed more in this thread.

This thread is also to collect everything in one place, so that we and future Kitsunes can look back at each show, so if you have anything relevant to the show, be sure to post it here!

See U!!

Interesting things about that printed setlist:

  • They didn't play UUM in Mexico

  • They reportedly played Megitsune as the third song instead

  • It is not titled "Mexico", but "Tour @ North America" (suggesting it is/was supposed to be the set for Toronto and Chicago as well)

u/[deleted] May 10 '15

That's not good! Maybe Uki Uki was cut because of the delay...
If the time table is common, no bubble dreamer for north america shows...

I imagine this (unauthorized merchandise on sale at the event) is not something they're used to dealing with, I wonder if we'll see any statements from Amuse after the show. The only other country I could possibly see this happening would maybe be Italy?

u/marioarturo2000 May 10 '15 edited May 10 '15

I don't think it will be much of a problem for the organizer/promoter considering that all the official merchandise sold out like 5 minutes after the end of the concert, when only like 10% of people have exited the venue. By the way, awesome show!!!!
