Too bad I live in the midwest... Man, why does the west coast get EVERYTHING? Even the east coast to some extent, but the west coast hogs it all. I'm extremely jealous. Because for some reason, everything revolves around LA and California, even though there are other places that are much more populated. (The entire East Coast definately being on that list) However realistically, it is cheaper for them to send the All-Stars to LA, than it is NY. It's a lot closer, and gas prices are out of control so... |

East coast has had a few things though, like Chibi-Pa with Nagano's first ever visit to america. I live in the middle of the USA, far from both coasts. You'd think it'd be an advantage being in the middle but it's not. edit: Except everything is really cheap. Gas, houses, etc.  |

Even still, the Midwest isn't as populated as the West and East Coast, and besides, I'm sure that from the producer's standpoint (their Japanese and have never been to America) when you look at the USA, you take a gander, and say that the fans in Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. are close enough to get to a particular location on their own. Anyways back on topic....
I don't exactly see how this is going to be profitable per-see. Don't get me wrong I like the All-Stars and all, but think about it, it's gonna cost a helluva lot of money to finance this tour, and the All-Stars aren't exactly international pop-stars. Obviously we need more details first but, the only thing I can see Higuchi doing is trying to broaden the audience, and even still I don't see how that will catch the casual viewer.

West coast typically gets a lot of events from Asian countries simply because of the time involved. You only stand to be 12 hours in a plane as opposed to as high as 24 hours just to get to NYC. When Nagano went to Florida he literally took 24 hours to get there thanks to the flight delays between connections. Also when it comes to Sasuke/Ninja Warrior.. that's where G4 is. It's unclear at this point if G4 is even involved in this World Tour so if it is in the West Coast and G4 is involved it makes sense since G4 rarely does anything on the other side of the country for convenience sake.

Another thing about the $29.99 fan club thing: the old mobile site was, I think, 300 yen per month (or thereabouts. That's a typical price). The fan club cost is annual and that makes it ever so slightly cheaper.

If Asami is holding Kaiou, who took the video? One of Nagano's shipmates?

If Asami is holding Kaiou, who took the video? One of Nagano's shipmates? Unsure. It is possible. Given the length of the video as well it might have been a cell phone video with someone from his ship taking the vid. It's cute  He has such an adorable giggle. Shingo's was great too Though I think his wife took that one. |

I'm enjoying seeing these videos. We usually don't get to see the guys doing training except on Sasuke Navi and other specials like that. I'm glad the All-Stars have these Facebook pages now.

I think the Takeda Rock Climbing clip is from before 24, I seem to remember that exact clip.
And wasn't this place funny because it was named G4?

This confirms my theory this is the training footage before 24 |
