@Kugayama & anyone else who can help.

As I keep updating my spreadsheet for statistics (because I thought why not add musicians and locations too?... I think Cloistered was right... I may have a problem with liking tables...), I have some questions about the locations of YKLs.

(from FJcom:)
ykl11:
大宮・大宮ソニックシティ
ykl18 & beyond:
埼玉・大宮ソニックシティ大ホール

Is this the same place or not?
The first parts are different but the Omiya Sonic City stays the same... I guess Omiya is part of Saitama... but why is one more specific than the other? And what's with the Large Hall only being at the end of the 2nd one? I'm so confused.

Same with this Nakano Sunplaza one being more specific in some lives than others.
(from FJcom:)
ykl11:
東京・中野サンプラザ
ykl14 & beyond:
東京・中野サンプラザホール

Is there a difference with the Hall at the end and without it or was it just Kajiura's team not being all that bothered when updating the revamped website with old info (pre-ykl14)? Is it okay to combine the two for my statistics?

And this next question is just from me wondering: is it wrong/disrespectful to say Budokan is in Tokyo or is it better to leave it as just Budokan? I'm asking for consistency, 'cause most recent updates to YKL list cities before names.

Is specifying Hall A (ykl10&13) or C (ykl12) in the Tokyo International Forum important? Is one a bigger deal than the other?

These next ones are more about CPM I guess. I don't know if it matters:
On CPM,
Yokohama BLITZ says Tokyo for ykl3, but then Yokohama for ykl5. Yokohama should be correct, rite?
Shibuya Public Hall says Shibuya for ykl8 but then Tokyo for ykl9. I guess Shibuya is part of Tokyo so just how precise should we be going for?

Taking the above into ???, all main YKL locations below:

Wow Nakano Sunplaza is closed and demolished to be made into skyscraper

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakano_Sunplaza


About CPM part of the question maybe back then i didnt bother check where exactly it was and the automatic translators were alot worse back then too, so you can be as specific as you want.

About Bodokan i always know it as Nippon Bodokan but u can put tokyo too cause someone might be new to anime / jp music and doesnt know where it is.

 

[grunty]

Quite a few of those older ykl venues are closed from what I noticed.

 

[george1234]

^ pretty sure most closed during Covid :(

Imagine everyone cancelling their events they probably run out of revenue.

As I keep updating my spreadsheet for statistics (because I thought why not add musicians and locations too?... I think Cloistered was right... I may have a problem with liking tables...), I have some questions about the locations of YKLs.

Sadly I can't help in this area.

Probably for consistency, use prefecture names after the venue name:

Omiya Sonic City Large Hall, Saitama would have been used in all cases for Omiya Sonic City.

Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo was the same venue in all cases for Nakano Sun Plaza.

Tokyo International Forum, Hall A, Tokyo is the huge hall (4,100 seats) and Hall C is smaller so they should be treated as distinct venues.

Yokohama Blitz, Kanagawa prefecture.

Shibuya Public Hall says Shibuya for ykl8 but then Tokyo for ykl9. I guess Shibuya is part of Tokyo so just how precise should we be going for?

Yes.

and if you've seen "morph tokyo" venue (used for some early Kalafina lives and a couple of Kaori Oda solo lives), it was in Roppongi, Tokyo-to.

NGL I'm even more confused why some things are the way they are on FJcom and I'm this close to leaving only the venue names without specifying where they are, lol. XD

Okay, so based on what I figured from your post, I changed the following (bold italics):

Thanks, that looks good.

The "JCB Hall" / "Tokyo Dome City Hall" has confused me in the past.

There was an autographed copy of "FictionJunction 2008-2010 The BEST of Yuki Kajiura LIVE" on display at the venue when I attended another live, but I hadn't made the connection that what at the time was labelled Tokyo Dome City Hall was the same as JCB Hall.

 

[grunty]

To make it weirder it would seem that TDCHall is now called Kanadevia Hall (until 2028) per the "Naming Rights Partner", as you said...

TOKYO DOME CITY HALL（トーキョー・ドーム・シティ・ホール、東京ドームシティホール）は、ミーツポートの地下3階から2階にある多目的ホール。
施設命名権

開場当初の2008年3月より3年ごとのネーミングライツ制度（命名権）が導入された[5][3][6]。

(...)

カナデビア

前述するJCBとの契約終了後、2011年4月から2025年3月までの約14年間はネーミングライツによる企業との契約がなく、企業名の冠がつかない「TOKYO DOME CITY HALL」の名称で営業されていた[5][3][6]。

その後2025年1月16日に、カナデビアは東京ドームと本ホールのネーミングライツ契約を締結、これにより同年4月1日から2028年3月31日までの3年間、本ホールの名称を『Kanadevia Hall』（カナデビアホール）として営業する[6]。

TOKYO DOME CITY HALL (Tokyo Dome City Hall) is a multi-purpose hall located on the second floor and third basement floors of Meets Port.

A naming rights system was introduced in March 2008, when the venue first opened, with naming rights awarded every three years.[5][3][6]

(...)

Kanadevia

After the aforementioned contract with JCB ended, for approximately 14 years from April 2011 to March 2025, there were no naming rights contracts with any companies, and the hall operated under the name "TOKYO DOME CITY HALL" without a company name.[5][3][6]

Then, on January 16, 2025, Kanadevia signed a naming rights contract with Tokyo Dome for the hall, which will see the hall operate under the name "Kanadevia Hall" for three years, from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2028.[6]

This is so weird. XD

But also 1) introduce a naming rights sponsorship change every 3 years; 2) fail to secure a sponsor after the first 3 years... lul.

 

[george1234]

Weird and interesting at the same time. It reminds me of the situation with football stadiums here in Greece where if a team licences the use of the stadium from the governement it gets to puts its name on it as well, or something like that. example https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Γήπεδο_Αγιά_Σοφιά
