Another quick question. Since I won both day and night on day 3 of Osaka, can I still apply for the second lottery for days 1 and 2? It won't void my day 3 ticket?

HMV POP UP Shop in Sendai, Osaka and Tokyo!
(really really recommend to visit those shops, it's much easier to buy most of the official goods there

Clearly several people on this thread have attended previous Mirai concerts.
What were the acoustics like? Does the in-person experience sound like what you hear on DVD? Or are the acoustics similar to the livestreams we watch before the home release? What were the concerts that sounded the best in-person compared to their home release, and vice-versa?

attended all Magical Mirai concerts since 2014(❁´◡`❁)
in terms of audio quality, the best track available is the 5.1 Master Audio track available on the Blu-Ray (it's uncompressed audio track, it can't be on DVD due to the disc size and has so many details)
the live stream audio is similar to DVD in terms of quality (because both a live stream and the DVD can't have high bitrate), but the live stream recording is un-edited compared to both DVD and Blu-Ray, that means there are some small differences in terms of what you could hear from the audience. The disc release has a more balanced EQ and because is 5.1, there is different audio staging, the main audio is on the stage and then there is everything around (the band members and the audience). Think of it like you are in one of the front seats, while the live streaming audio is more like you are in the middle.
As for the acoustics, the in-person experience is always different. The blu-ray quality is very, very good, especially with high-end headphones or speakers, but being there live is different for two reasons: you have the audience all around you, and the speakers of the stage are powerful enough that you feel the air moved by the sound (especially when there is lots of bass sound).
The blu-ray has an advantage for the audio of the stage, because as I said earlier, is a little edited and balanced. During the live, depending on where your seat is really changes how you hear the concert. Front seat is very powerful and loud sound, but you hear the audience less (because you are more close to the stage speakers). If your seat is on the sides, the center or more back, then you hear more the audience ^-^
and for the other question.. mm.. is more about the location: Osaka venue is smaller to Makuhari Messe (Chiba, Tokyo) venue, so is a bit more powerful and more bass. The Makuhari venue has a wider soundstage, and Nippon Budokan (2015) is like a mix between Osaka and Makuhari. And the venue in Tokyo in 2014 was very powerful (but the blu-ray was for Osaka, the Tokyo 2014 concert had a live TV recording Live & Making). And the best audio in-person I feel was from Sapporo (10th anniversary), followed by Fukuoka, because both were smaller venues and they were theaters venue that are often used for symphony concerts, the audio was very warm and the whole experience unforgettable. But every Magical Mirai is always so enjoyable

Hi fellow fans!
Managed to grab tickets for the event at the Sendai venue and am super excited! This is actually my first Magical Mirai concert, I'm slightly nervous because I am going alone and I don't speak any Japanese. Would I still be able to navigate and enjoy myself without getting worked up? ^^;
Also has anyone here been to Sendai before? Is it worth staying for a few days to do some sightseeing? And is it foreigner friendly? I heard that the northern part of Japan is less accommodating towards overseas tourists....but maybe it's just a rumour haha.

hi hi!! ^u^
don't worry for that, you'll enjoy soo much! going alone, it'll be like a good adventure! hehe
if you have accomodation plan tickets, remember that you'll have to pick up the tickets at the entrance and need to show both passport and the credit/debit card used for the payment. But if you won the lottery ticket, then you just need to print (or save as pdf on your phone) the webpage with the barcode, then go to any 7eleven convenience store, show the barcode to the cashier and they'll print the ticket ^-^
There are staff people around the exhibition and in the concert venue, and when there is a long line (example, entrance line for the concert or long line for official goods shop), there is always a staff person at end of line holding a sign, so you know that is the end of line and you can go there. Also, for the goods, I know they accept credit/debit cards, but I always recommend to bring japanese yen cash too. At almost any shop you can also use the Suica contactless card (the card you use for the train/metro), which you can easily recharge with money at any station.
And like I said before, it is best to bring a small school backpack, so you can put it in some goods, drinks and snacks! and whenever you'll have many goods on your hands, it's better to exit the exhibition, put the goods in your hotel room or any coin locker around that train station, and go back to the exhibition (be sure to put the wrist strap they gave you at entrance so you can re-entry from the re-entry entrance).
Sendai is great and surely I recommend to stay a few days before, so you can explore the city, the beautful green parks, check some shops and restaurants. And about that rumour, mm.. is more like northern part of Japan is less used to tourists (compared to big cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto), so there are less english signs around, but you'll enjoy more because less crowded, and some shops/resturants staff might speak and have only japanese menu. But most of times, japanese menu have big pictures on it, so you can still order on it by pointing your finger on the food you'd like (say "kore to.. kore to.. kore to.. kore desu" which means "I'd like this, and.. this and.. this.. and this". This phrase is useful at the exhibition shops too!). Some restaurants, especially family restaurants, have "drink bar", it means for a fixed price usually around 300-500yen you can take how many drinks you want from the drink machine. I totally recommend to buy before a japanese phrasebook, like the one from Lonely Planet
