Puffy Dinner Show

Saw on Puffy's site they have their first holiday / Christmas dinner show which is a very interesting turn of events.

Here is the info from their English site:

17 years from PUFFY's debut and it will be the first time to have a dinner show!
Let's spend a wonderful Christmas with PUFFY while eating a special dinner.

It might have been someone commenting here or from another blog (full credit to the original writer, I honestly can't remember which it was) discussing these holiday shows and how more established artists turn to doing these shows.  For about 360 dollars a head it is probably a decent revenue source, but finances aside it feels like Puffy has turned a corner in their career and I am not entirely sure I know how I feel about that.  Ultimately if it leads to more good music, that is not much of a worry at all.

Also noted it was in Kobe, which I also find interesting.  I wonder if it is a finding an opening geogrpahically or partnering with a hotel to host.  Probably great for people around the Osaka metro area, kind of a hike for folks in Tokyo.
