クレナズム Tour plus West Japan Itinerary Check

I wanted to see the band クレナズム in concert. At least a few months back, I saw they are going on tour. I thought, why not combine it with a trip to Japan. So here I am, with just a couple of weeks away.

I can only get tickets in Japan (FamilyMart my research suggests). Tickets, because I have three chances to see them live and I AM planning to see them 3 times! I am pretty confident they are not going to sell out because they are not famous, still very indie. Either way, if I fail to get tickets, it will be sad, but I get to spend more time visiting places!
