For the first time in several countdowns, the Tokyo crowd has to choose, or at least compromise, on where to be on New Year's Eve.
There'll be no third date this year for Solstice Music and Vision Quest. We saw this coming, really, after the overwhelming 13,000-strong extravaganza at Makuhari Messe in 2002/03.
Both Solstice and VQ have set up closer to Tokyo and both are planning something pretty special.
