>Since I'm hoping t relocate to Japan next year, I think I'll have to give up the luxury of being able to see KJ every time they tour. I know I'll be able to see my favourite Japanese bands, but it's still a kicker. I think the last time they played Japan was back on the reunion tour- the first two nights if I'm recalling correctly?
