Have you always wanted to buy the Bigeast official merch like the Bigeast towel, tour shirts, limited DVDs, albums, light sticks and many other treasures from the store but couldnât because you donât live in Japan or have Japanese friends? Worry no more! ;)Â
Follow these easy steps and youâll have all those things within 10 minutes! Only thing you need is a Paypal account. (Please read the complete tutorial before placing an order!)
1) Register on this website http://www.celga.com to make an account.
2) Open https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/ (itâs a Japanese auction site similar to ebay) and find the merch youâre looking for. If you donât know Japanese, type âæ±æčç„è”·â (Tohoshinki) in the search bar and you will find a lot of merch.Â
If youâre looking for concert tickets search for âæ±æčç„è”· ăă±ăăâ (Tohoshinki ticket) The more words you translate the more specific it gets.Â

The price I marked as red means "buy now"-option. The blue ones are bid only. If you want to make sure you get the tickets/merch, choose items with "buy now" option. Make sure that you give Celga time to buy it for you. At least 2 days. (marked as green) If you buy on the weekend choose more than 2 days.
4) Once you've decided which ticket/merch you want, click on it and copy the URL as well as the item name. Example:
5) Go back to Celga and click webshop order! (Only use webshop order if you choose an item with âbuy-nowâ-option. For bids you need to use âbidâ.
6) Fill out item name, item URL, quantity and price in yen (always choose the "buy now"-price unless you bid, then choose the âbidâ- price. (In case you bid, make a higher offer to make sure you win. But if you âbuy nowâ you donât need to worry about that.)
7) Click submit and pay with paypal. Done! :D
After the payment has been successfuly transferred, you will get an email saying your order has been placed and a few hours or a day later, Celga will confirm it by sending another email saying "Hello __, we've ordered it for you." If you donât get a confirmation email, feel free to contact them, they respond quickly and are very friendly. :)Â
Last but not least: Youâll get another email a few days later, that includes a link / PDF of the invoice you have to pay. (The celga fees) For that you can pay with a credit card but if you don't have one they also have a paypal option. :)
For more information about Celga fees check out their FAQs.
8) Under âMy Celgaâ you can monitor your items. Once your item has arrived at their warehouse, you can request shipping and they will send it to your home address!Â
