After five years and an almost inhumane number of videos, Rio Hamasaki has finally been allowed-- I mean has finally decided to retire. She's even throwing a party to celebrate! And you're invited! ...if you're willing to fork over the 10,000 yen (~$130 US) to join her and other fans for a four hour meet and greet. You'll also get a signed picture to take home and frame at the end of the night.
Info
here basically says the cash is due a month before the bash which will be held on October 29th. It'll be in Tokyo but the exact location will only be sent to those who register. If you want to take
a picture (note this is singular as in don't blink because you only get one shot) with Rio, it'll cost you 15,000 yen (~$195). Fifteen people who sign up for the 20,000 yen (~$260) "Premier" package can take all the pictures they want.
