Update on Freestyle Merch through I-TM4U

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Demand to get into Ohno Satoshi's exhibition is so great, that Johnny's has decided to change the method to enter the exhibition - you have to enter a lottery for a ticket by mobile phone the day before you go. I-TM4U is applying daily until they can get tickets. If they receive tickets, they will send an email announcement to those interested.

*As of now, there has been no word that purchases of goods will be limited- (this is sometimes typical in JE official goods shops) if you have been to the exhibition, and know of limits, please contact I-TM4U.
*If limits are in place, the first persons requesting goods will have orders filled.

From March, Freestyle Exhibition merchandise will be available from the Johnny's online shop - this only ships within Japan, not overseas, but I-TM4U can order on your behalf, since they don't have to include a service fee, the total cost will be much cheaper, if you are willing to wait. In March, the JE goods shop may expand from mail-order to online, any other goods from the same site could be bundled to save on shipping.

I-TM4U accepts Paypal only at this moment, it allows you to pay in dollars or yen, very handy!

For those interested in the Freestyle Merch from the exhibition directly , when I-TM4U have the tickets, they will email an invoice with the cost of the goods only, they are asking for immediate payment to be received at 7am TOKYO TIME day of attendance.

The standing fee is $64USD, but this is not calculated per person - this cost will be divided between all customers requesting goods, which means, the more people who order goods, the lower the fee, right now 17 people have requested goods-but people may drop out, or new people may request.

Once the items have been purchased, you will receive a second invoice, this will include - shipping (your choice) handling (3$USD) commission and the division of the standing fee, then the goods will be sent out to you immediately.

Limits set on Saturday when I went:

+ Postcard sets: one of each type per person. (Six sets total.)
+ Prints: one of each type per person. (Six prints total.)
+ Keitai strap: one per person.

The keitai strap was always limited from the beginning, the other two limits seemed to be newly set in place since there wasn't a sign up on the wall stating the rule (there was with the keitai strap). I didn't try to get more than one t-shirt so I don't know, but the red shirt sold out while I was standing in line, so they may have set limits with the shirts as well.

Posters, shopping bags, and book copies were unlimited, though this may have changed if supplies have dwindled since. And I didn't buy the clearfile, so I don't know either way.

Thank you so much! Did you enjoy the show? And are you glad that they will sell the merch through the online shop?

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I did enjoy it! And yes, I'm happy about the merchandise through J-web, I want more of the postcard sets. :)

Thanks for the info. Do you think you could also point me to the Johnny's online shop, maybe? Thanks!

the site is a mobile site, accessible only in Japan, but we are working on the details of how to show goods that can be purchased through I-TM4U, we haven't done purchasing on this scale for Johnny's goods, only other Asian stars such as Gackt. (but that went really well)

While the Freestyle merch will be available online in March, most JE merch right now is by mail-order catalogue

There is a larger JE online shop in process which is to debut soon. Items might be only available to JWeb members (I-TM4U is a member)

As we get more information on the site, we will let you know. We don't know if putting up a page of what's available by mail order makes sense if it is all going online in a month!

Hi! Thanks for doing this, I think it's AWESOME! Just a question, I was looking through your site and if we order the exhibition goods through the Jweb, is it just your 10% commission that you will charge? (I don't mind waiting for them! ^_^) Thanks!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

yes, until March, commission will remain at 10%

About the Johnny's online shop - that's not limited to only Jweb members, is it?

Thanks for doing this!

here is the url about the freestyle goods in particular
but they are not on sale as yet. - this is from the mobile site, so we are not sure if you can see it or not.

The I-TM4U site already has an individual fanclub membership to supply goods (for stars such as GACKT) so if they need a membership to get Johnny's goods, they will acquire one, but they are not in the business of buying memberships for overseas fans, gomen nasai.

[okenakab.livejournal.com]

Ah, that wasn't my intention - I just wanted to know if I-TM4U would be able to get the goods for overseas fans even if it was membership-based. But since they will acquire one to purchase the goods if they need to, I don't mind waiting so much :) Thank you for clarifying!

thanks for all the information! i already sent in my form so hopefully i will get a reply back soon! =)

I guess it should not be a surprise that JE boys are as popular overseas as they are in Japan! Hopefully one day they will make goods accessible to everyone all over the world not that Johnny needs the money!
