My Japanese is, well, non-existent, but assuming this -

- is kosher, and reads as I think, he's playing three shows there on the 12th/13th/15th of April in Tokyo (first two) and Osaka. Alan & Blondie will be along for the ride.

Makes sense after NZ/Oz in late March early April. Stops in between maybe, Singapore/Hong Kong?

Being purely selfish, I'm hoping they're not looking at the UK/Europe late April/early May: I'm otherwise engaged then.

The Sydney Opera House show on Tuesday March 29th (8 pm) went on sale to the general public on Friday December 4th. I just checked tonight to see there are only 39 tickets left (in the bleachers). I'm very happy that I got a seat in the stalls, 12 rows from the stage.

Brian will play the Pet Sounds, take an intermission, then play greatest hits. I'm really looking forward to this, especially after enjoying the Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Tour show in 2012 in Sydney.

Looks like they'll be well rehearsed for the UK/Europe dates.

I saw Brian present PS in London, 2006, met him aswell (long haired guy at the time when he singed guitar outside back door---went on the local news lol. It's on YouTube). Also, apparently suppose to be his last time performing PS ever back then, lol. However, these new gigs will be cool with Al and Blondie there---especially in Japan.

He's playing in Austin TX for Psych Fest around then, which is when I'm hoping to catch him. Anyone else going?
