New Moon News – Japan will see New Moon first!
Breaking News!!
According to Twilighters’ Square, Japan will have 02 events in conjunction with the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon!
An advanced screening of New Moon and a Fan Meeting with Robert Pattinson & Chris Weitz in Tokyo!
Fans in France WILL NOT be the first to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon!! It will be the fans in Japan!! Come to think of it Japan was one of the last country that opened Twilight (earlier this year) and now they will be the first!! Japan will have an advanced screening of The Twilight Saga: New Moon on the 17th of November.
Fans in Japan can buy the Twilight Ultimate Ticket for the advanced screening which will be sold on Sunday 18th October. It will cost 10,000 Yen (SGD155). Its limited to 400 seats only. Part of the proceeds of the sale will be donated an educational body.
Point of sale : Ticket Pia /Chiketto pia (Actual location to be determined – so we’ll keep a look out for it!)
The advance screening of New Moon will be at Shinjuku Picadilly cinema.
Details- Date: 11/17 (Tue)
Hours: Open 18:00 ~, 19:00 - Movie will start
Incidentally Shinjuku Picadilly has one of the biggest movie memorabilia shop in Tokyo. [To get there go on Marunouchi Line and it is one stop from Shinjuku Station called Shinjuku sanchome Exit B]. We have also learnt that they will start selling New Moon Memorabilia on 30th October so anybody on holiday in Japan on that day head on to Shinjuku Picadilly to get exclusive Japanese New Moon stuff!
Chris Weitz and Robert Pattinson are scheduled to be in Japan from November 2-3rd to promote New Moon! Which makes sense because we’ve been hearing news that Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner on the other hand will be promoting New Moon in Europe and other locations. Japan was one of the last countries that Twilight opened in (April this year) and now it will be the first country that the New Moon promos will kick off!
Fan Meeting
Date: 11 / 3 (Tue)
Open 18:00 ~, 18:30 ~ Start
Location: Tokyo (exact location is yet to be determined)
During the Fan Meeting Event on 3rd November – Robert Pattinson and Chris Weitz will pick 02 LUCKY FANS to attend the WORLD PREMIERE OF THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON in Los Angeles on Monday evening, the 16th of November, 2009
So if you are in Japan and heading there during the mentioned period – Heads UP!!
I’m working on it….my Japanese friends are making some calls for me tomorrow
Will keep you posted!

I went up to a PIA location in Tokyo today and they had no new information. The woman looked on her computer for a few minutes then made a phone call. She told me “no information,” and then some more in Japanese, and I understood enough to know that she was telling me to come back on Saturday to see if there was any more information. She also gave me a phone number, but it’s the same number my friends were calling and only getting busy signals.

I got home a little while ago…no tickets for me. They were sold out within three or four minutes, and I was fifth in line. The girl at the PIA counter said most of the sales came from the website, and it wasn’t able to be translated into English so I was out of luck. The other option was calling, and it was Japanese only, so I was SOL there also. I left my house at 7 am, got there at 7:35 and tickets went on sale at 10 am.

Ohh I am sorry Katie!
Its only 400 seats and I am really not surprised. But wow! 3-4 mins! I really hope you get to go for the fan meeting!

Thanks
I’m bummed because the tickets were for the fan meeting AND the premiere…so I can’t go to either! Oh well…never had a problem with the language barrier until now!

Oh we’re sorry Katie! We were hoping you could attend so at least you could update us.
