Dateotoko (伊達漢) is Nightmare's official fanclub. Upon joining Dateotoko, members get the following:
- Membership card
- Shipping privileges on goods (Japan fans only)
- 4 issues of the Fan Magazine each year
- Latest information on offers
- Priority in getting pre-sale concert tickets (Japan fans only)
- Limited edition member goods (If you have a friend in Japan who's also a member, he/she can order it for you since you need a Japanese address for this)
- Fanclub events and trips (scheduling is irregular and undetermined. For Japan fans only.)
- Birthday card and Christmas card
- Access to the Dateotoko members only website, including the members-only online blogs
For first-time joiners, a fee of 6,000 yen is to be paid (2,000 yen for entrance fee, 4,000 yen for yearly fee). This fee must be paid in Japanese yen, as they do not accept international money orders of any kind.
The entrance fee is only paid once.
For those who are already members of the fanclub, only the yearly fee of 4,000 yen is paid.
Their website does provide a way for online submission. Unfortunately, this option is only available for fans living in Japan.
For overseas fans, this is what you need to do:
- Write your name (they would prefer you to write your name in furigana but majority of our names are foreign, so the suggested action is to try to write your name in katakana, if possible. You can always ask a friend or pen pal who knows Japanese to help with this), birth date, address, telephone number, and email address on a piece of paper.
- Along with your information, include 6,000 yen in a concealed envelope. It's advised from the staff that you insure your letter with a tracking number to guarantee a safe delivery and insures against loss.
- Mail it to:
JAPAN 〒162-0831
Tokyo-to Shinjuku-ku
Yokoteramachi 32 TR Kagurazaka Bldg.
Official Fanclub "Date Otoko"
Remember this is a yearly membership, so you will need to renew it. Upon renewal, you will only need to send 4,000 yen the second time.
Should you have any questions regarding anything Dateotoko related, you can email them at dateotoko@nightmare-web.com. Unfortunately, the staffers can only read and respond to Japanese emails only. You can try your hand at writing it yourself or ask a friend/pen pal/anyone who knows Japanese to write it for you.
Good luck!
