I'm definitely going. I don't get the ticketing system though. If I buy the ticket on the same day it is ¥1500, yet an evening ticket is ¥500. How does that work? I'll be grateful to who can explain this to me.

I still stand by my original comment, 21 down thumbs notwithstanding. Graffiti is art, in fact, I would go a bit further and encourage graffiti. When graffiti becomes endorsed a lot of who do it as vandalism will stop doing it, and only the true artists will remain.

That's because they don't care about the homeless. They only care about their own wellbeing. If the Euro goes under that will affect the politicians and the corporate swine. If a thousand homeless die the politicians are better off.
