FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sakura-Con to host Hangry & Angry premiere US performance!

Seattle, WA- 12-16-2008  ANCEA is pleased to announce the final headlining performers for Sakura-Con 2009. "Hangry & Angry" will make their US premiere at Sakura-Con 2009, April 10-12 at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.

Hangry & Angry is a collaboration with a Harajuku fashion store which goes by the same name and is the brand of popular Japanese designer h.NAOTO . Illustrator GASHICON draws the gurokawa (grotesque-cute)-style characters "Hangry" and "Angry". What is Hangry & Angry?  Hangry & Angry represent a potent synthesis of fashion, illustration, fantasy and music.

The characters "Hangry" and "Angry" are said to come from the H44 Star Nebula in order to save the world from global warming. They arrived in the present in their time machine dubbed "LOVE MACHINE."

Name: HANGRY (who might be Hitomi Yoshizawa)
Sex: Female cat
Height: 164 cm (not including hair)
Birthplace: H44 Star Nebula
* A very punk girl. Even though she looks wild and untamed, she is actually delicate and hates things that are out of order.

Name: ANGRY (who might be Rika Ishikawa)
Sex: Female cat
Height: 156 cm (not including hair)
Birthplace: H44 Star Nebula
* A girl who loves goth and appears to be very cute, but in reality, she has a secret devilish side. She believes that people will feel the true power of her music.

Hangry & Angry's first CD "Kill Me Kiss Me" is available in the US exclusively from JapanFiles.com.   To celebrate this announcement the first 20 people who register for Sakura-Con 2009, between the dates of 12-16-08 and 12-23-08 will receive a complementary Hangry & Angry CD, courtesy of JapanFiles.com!

ANCEA (Asia Northwest Cultural Education Association) is proud to sponsor the twelfth annual Sakura-Con April 10th -12th 24th - 26th, 2009 at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Downtown Seattle Washington.  Sakura-Con is an annual three day gathering of enthusiasts and professionals interested in Japanese Animation (anime), comics (manga), and Asian culture. The convention features a wide array of activities and programming such as: industry guests, J-pop concerts, demonstrations, cosplay (costuming), contests, discussion panels and film screenings. These events run 24 hours a day from start to finish.

ANCEA is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about Asian popular and traditional culture. They organize several events every year in order to promote this goal. Sakura-Con is the largest of these events.

Hey, JF how do we book H&A for conventions?? I have a friend who is interested....

Sakura-Con has a great reputation for live events. The sound & lighting are great, and they use these huge video screens.
The concert audience is usually over 3,500. This year we think it will hit the 4,000-person capacity.

Ahhh! I live really close to Seattle and generally go to the convention every year. I hope I can make it this time! I wasn't going to go, but this is really exciting!
Title: Re: Hangry&Angry tour announcement... today!
Post by: Fenrir on December 17, 2008, 08:56:39 AM
Ah! I had a hunch that if they were going to do tour overseas, at least for America, it would be through conventions! And this fits perfectly as they aren't under H!P anymore when they perform at the con.

Hmm, this means that there's a good chance they might come to L.A. There's a convention here that also promotes Asian pop culture, but they have a section that specializes in gothic lolita/punk/visual kei things, so this would fit nicely with H&A's style. An added bonus is that h.naoto was suppose to have come this past convention, but couldn't due to scheduling conflicts. Now that I think about it, I wonder if he couldn't come because he was busy hammering out a deal with UFA. :o But anyways, since H&A promotes h.naoto stuff, this makes the likelihood of them coming even greater! But of course, this all depends on timing and other various things, like if H&A will still be around Nov. 2009 and if the convention will happen for 2009 (last I heard there was some bickering between the top heads of the convention... ah convention politics ;)). The last problem is that the convention might not be big enough...
Anyways, I should go talk to my friend about who's in charge of the guest department.

I'm insanely happy to see them come to Sakura-Con. 
I hope everyone will enjoy the rest of our con as well.

I'm really happy that our team and Japanfiles and all the rest put this together.

GJ stark! And :welcome to JPH!P - we really appreciate you hooking this all up. To see the Goddess Rika has been my lifelong goal.

So advance tickets be 45 until Pre-Registration? I'm not sure what that means. Are there group discounts?

AIGHT WHO ELSE IS COMING! I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING. It's all a matter of booking time off now... :pimp:

Kally? ten? zay? zomb? Prolly if we buy group tickets, we get a discount so... zomb, I need ya on this bro. The best JPH!P World Tours needs a guide.

That's freaking cool Fen. I hope it ain't true what ~Dan~ told me that japanfiles wrote somewhere else that this is the only American stop :o cuz we'd get a lot more HiPsters out there.

Title: Re: Hangry&Angry tour announcement... today!
Post by: Naomi on December 18, 2008, 03:28:22 PM
I don't have the money to get there at the moment, but I might by April, so there's a 50% chance of me going. :D
Title: Re: Hangry&Angry tour announcement... today!
Post by: mr.niigaki on December 18, 2008, 05:42:50 PM
I brought up the idea to my parents of a birthday/xmas present being me getting to see H&A when they come to the US. I'm totally prepared to make a trip up there. Want. to. go. Also haven't been to a con for a few years now too so it'd be fun to see another one.

Not that Washington is exactly close to Illinois but I really want to go see them. It's been my dream to see something H!P live and to have them and I always regret it wasn't possible for me to go to Yossi's grad concert. I want to go to Sakura-Con for them because I worry that they might not go somewhere else, or else somewhere difficult to go to.

I know I'll hate myself if I miss this. And at cons you have a better chance of being closer to them than anywhere else, well at least as far as my crappy con-band experiences have been. Just the fact of them going to be here in the states fills me with all sorts of feelings.

I might check it out, I don't know if I can, considering I'm all the way in freaking Maine. Buuuuut, my dad lives out in Oregon, so if I ask,  he might let me stay at his house for a bit, then I can just drive up to Seattle...Mostly depends if my plan of getting a job actually happens. But both me and my gf really want to go! So I'll work on it =) Throw me on the maybe list, please. XD

Damn, this might be harder than I thought. I thought my April break was early April, turns out it ain't until the 20th! Those bitches =_=; I dunno...I can still try though.

Yeah, no question Saikami! - I notice it's on Good Friday - so public holidays + vacation time will be BONUS.  I'm a book off time irregardless. Probably approx. 9th to 15th - depending if I wanna visit Vancouver while I'm in the Pacific Northwest.

Random thoughts. Note to self. Shit to do in Seattle:

Aww Saikami  - no doubt. I was amazed they had a concert so close to me on the West Coast. Usually it's all NYC/Toronto :/

If there's a huge turn out here, most def they're gonna do big shows else where... like a gaming con in Miami perhaps, November-ish. hehehe

@zay- Seattle is probably 954 miles (1536 km) :whistle: 2.5 hrs flight distance.

I do hangout with you after work ckd....AT CHUUCH even. EUROPEAN DATES would be EPIC. Masa would go to Sweden if need be XD

The main thing is just the plane ride... I could do that just fine alone, but being in a city where I don't know anyone... o.o

DAI I'm still goinnn'! I'm also booked at the Roosevelt with my friend, both of us being Ishiyoshi fans. I'm still waiting on the con schedule to book my flight because I don't want to miss autographs on Friday. Also, check in for Roosevelt isn't till 4PM, so hopefully the autographs aren't early, otherwise I'll be stuck with a bunch of crap till 4.

@tru_harmony, I think the guests are staying at the Grand Hyatt, since that hotel wasn't actually available for booking through the con. Directly across from the Roosevelt :D I'll go represent with Dai!
Lol...rope. Duct tape? Clown masks? Chloroform? Wut?

EDIT: Oh shit, I forgot to mention. It would be cool if we got gifts for them, especially Yossy, since it's gonna be her birthday on the 12th. Any ideas?

Hi, I dont really post much here but I check jph!p all the time  :)
For those going I was wondering if you were attending the reception they are having at the Hyatt?
https://secure.sakuracon.org/guest_reception/ (https://secure.sakuracon.org/guest_reception/)
It's $40 April 10th at 6:30pm, and all the guests of honor are suppose to attend but Hangry & Angry are not confirmed in going yet. In the sakura-con forums Feb 14th, Winterblizzard said:

Quote
I am currently trying to finalize with Hangry and Angry if they will be there. It just depends on their schedule and their management. I will let you guys know as soon as I hear back! I did confirm that Smile.dk will be there. As well barring any unforseen circumstances all of our non-band guests will be there!

I want to go to the guest reception but if H&A arent going to be there, then there is no point XD.
So did anyone purchase tickets for the reception?

I tried making an account in the sakura-con forum but my activation email never came, it's weird. I wanted to ask questions there =/.  Only bad thing is the waiting because tickets are limited, so the longer the wait, the less chance there is to go =( But I dont want to pay $40 if they arent 100% going.

@rev2hd: Same here, I wont be in Seattle till around 4pm April 10th which sucks. So Im really really hoping autographs wont be in the morning time or else, Ill be really mad. But if H&A do get to go to the reception, then I can make that since its at 6:30pm. They are also giving autographs there.


About the gift idea, I was also thinking of giving them both something and also something for Yossie's bday but I still have to plan on what to give them. Anyways Im really excited to go! Hope alot of fans get to go, although I think less are going now after the MM cali announcement XD Even my sister who was going to go with me said she would rather spend her money to see MM even though she really wants to go see H&A  :roll:. Are handshakes still allowed during autographs? I read somewhere that they were but I cant find it anymore. Anyways my main goal there(if possible) is to shake Yossie and Rika's hand!!! <3 Or a hug!! Then I can die happy  :grin:.

Oops sorry if I wrote too much  XD

oi, yankeh, don't feel so sad... most of the ishiyoshi people here can't make it either... so it's upto big brotha dai rev2hd and DS12 to shake their hands and kidnap them for the rest of us...

i will do my best to be there in spirit...  and wait for the tectonic plates to move the philippines closer to japan... but that will take like a million years...

i will be sending dai the cards i mentioned earlier and some other stuff that i can whip up before february ends... just to be sure that they make it to dai's in time... maybe you can send dai stuff you wish to give ishiyoshi too... but our fear is that they might not want to lug around the stuff back home... nonetheless, it's the thought that counts... no one calls us half-assed around here!

@differentstory12
I've been keeping tabs on the SakuraCon forums as well. My attendence for the guest reception would solely be for Ishiyoshi, so I'd have to wait for an update. Annnd that's why I never submitted a reservation. Refunds also only seem to be for the people who wanted to see girugamesh and The Slants at the moment.

Well I can book my flight in the morning for Friday if I wanted to, but I just need somewhere to put my stuff. My friend knows someone who lives walking distance to the con, so I'll have to see about that. I already made promises to other people for autographs, namely someone who used to write Ishiyoshi fics, so...it would be cool if I can squeeze in that favor during the reception. I'm sure if you asked Yossy and Rika directly for a handshake they might oblige =) Never hurts to ask.


@tru_harmony
Lol. I'll try my best. Let me know if there's anything I can possibly do (that will hopefully not get me arrested), to rep Ishiyoshi fandom and JPH!P.

Don't you guys worry about pictures, I'll be armed with more than one camera ;)

(and of course Dai-san authorization to send something)

@rev2hd: Yeah if girugamesh didnt have that Friday concert, I think the seats for the reception would have been gone by now. So maybe it's a good thing? Yea I guess I gotta wait for an update too. Although, I do like girugamesh's song Owari to Mirai and it would have been nice to see it in the concert, but oh well. Hope they reveal more info on H&A soon though.

I REALLY wanted to get an early flight so that I could get there around 10am-11am on Friday but none of the cheap flights I looked for had that available. The earliest arrival on Friday was at 2:45pm :thumbdown: and so I booked it cause the prices were getting higher and higher each day. By the time I get to the hotel and convention it'll be 4pm-ish =/.

LOL that's great that you'll have more than one camera XD
About getting an autograph for a friend. I think you might be able to get it if they have those 2 autograph sessions. Thats nice of you by the way.

LOL When I was thinking about getting to shake their hands , it reminded me of this skit where Tarako who is a huge Charmy fan gets to shake Charmy's hand and freaks out,  :lol: and then doesnt want to let go of her. LOL I love it, it's hilarious, maybe we can learn some tips from Tarako  :lol:.

It starts at 5:44

Autograph session? I will go over and over, in different outfits and mustaches. Disguise using a tru_harmony life sized cut out. Not sure about that guest reception :? Dumb me, I only looked at the sakuracon site on the wkd. I BLAME THE ANTI STRUGGLE!!

TIME IS NOW. Let's whip shit up.

GIFTS. A MUST.

I been scoping my nogging, sitting in on the MM @ AX Meetings for ideas lmao, but really - let's do this with all our heart.

I need:

Letters, messages from EACH AND EVERY Ishiyoshi, Yossi, and of course Chuuch of Charmy Worshipper.
Candies? Something that will make them go KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~
Scented candles is good tru. Stuffed animals? I was thinking off the wall pinata kinda thing.

Yossi B-Day?

Sing Happy Birthday as soon as we see her?

The Beauty of JPH!P is that we have are HARDCORE. We got that special bond with 2ch/Japanese wota. Cuz we fucking pervs like dat. We ARE the voice of the people. And by fucking dumbass me I wish I signed up for the panel. I shot an email to the organizers but ah well. Press pass applied too LMAO.

All I know WE GONNA HAVE A FUCKIN GREAT TIME...

Meet me at the GODDAMN Roosvelt and we gonna have a BLAST.

RESPECT DAT. I BE DAIGONG IF YOU NEED ME!!

Yeah, the ticket pricing thing is weird. On Expedia my friend's LA to Seattle tickets are cheaper than my San Jose to Seattle Tickets.  :O

There's no rule against lining up multiple times, so I'd be down with that even though they'll look at me like I'm insane. BUT HEY, what you gotta do for your bros right?

I'm still thinking about the gift thing, asking another Ishiyoshi fan if she'll contribute some artwork or something along those lines.
DUDE, yes, bust out the birthday song in her face at the autograph session. We'll serenade them XD

Oh and dai, would it be okay if I dropped off my stuff in your room for a bit on Friday before I check into mine because of the late check in time? Can probably do some pre-planning as well.

WOO YEAH! EXCITED FOR THIS SHIT!

WELL at least yer booked :D

daigong is pure shameless and will do whatever! Look the fuck out.

I was thinking unique gifts like hockey jersey? hockey sticks? :lol: It'll give them that "WTF!!" factor.

Haha, I'm only booked in the hotel from 10-12th, so I just have to arrive nice and EARLY on Friday, or Thursday night and cosplay a bum on the streets of Seattle. I shall PM jooz. I might be interested in a JPH!P shirt, since it would be appropriate to show up in one for at least one of the days. You wouldn't happen to have any really small sizes would you? :lol:

Lol, DO EET.
I was asking my friend about stuff you can get in Seattle since he used to live up in Washington. It went kinda like this:
"Seriously, Washington isn't that special. You can get salmon and that's it. Really fresh fish. I don't think she'd appreciate that."
"HAVE A FEESH" *splat* D:

Yep. I'm planning on making special T's just for this trip - and we got a ton of small unisex regular style in stock XD And wristbands cuz dat's how roll on JPH!P WORLD TOURS BABY!!

So --- Yossi, and Rika - I been asking what size they are and got different answers XD I am HORRIBLE in shopping for girls -  fuck I gave shirenu a small and its too large. LOL Fish. I gave these lady friends smoked salmon.

D'oh Rika's a baseball fan and she'd jizz her pants for some Ichiro. or any Hanshin Tigers who play for the Mariners.

Ah, special T's, neat! Yeah, I tend to swim a little in unisex smalls, too. Being a short little 5'1" Asian girrr.

Ladies' smalls would probably work, well, maybe medium for Yossy, but then I'm not sure if she's that much bigger even though she's taller. Unisex x-smalls have always been a good fit, though not all shirts always come in that size.

Hrm, Ichiro stuff shouldn't be hard to pick up around that area lol. Probably tons of that shit at the airport.


EDIT: If you guys are still interested, there was an update about the guest reception. Though it's still not confirmed that H&A will be showing up, the forum mod/staffer said that refunds will indeed be available if you sign up for H&A and they don't show.

yossui's got a "bigger built" (or so she says) and rika has the bigger b's (as we can all attest to)

LET'S SIGN UP! for the guest reception anyways.

OKAY I swear off liquor and sports until we MAKE IT. I have to check this thread/sakuracon forums like a beast.  :jerk:

My camera sucks. Sometimes it takes good pics, but other times it fails on me. If I need to hide it, I'll try to be sneaky with it.

That's pretty awesome that you get that 15 minute advantage. I already registered for the reception  :D. The magic word was refund XD So I went for it. I really really hope they attend. I think they will, but I will feel so much better having a confirmation.

From the article with H&A, I loved that Rika said that she wanted to play Mario Kart with the fans lol! Can you imagine? XD Ill be Yoshi!

If I went and they played, I couldn't play because I refuse to be anyone but Yoshi. XD Sometimes I can play Toad, but I can't if it's against Yoshi. :lol: It's cute that Rika plays. I'm not one bit surprised that she plays as Peach, either. :lol: Plus, Yoshizawa, so I'd have to be Yoshi since Yossie and him have the same name. =P

Yays, more crew aboard.

Affirmative. It's been confirmed that they WILL be at the reception.

Hangry and Angry will be there. Also, all of the guests being announced this weekend will also be there. As for autographs and pictures, you can alwas ask, but please respect if a guest declines. Also no photographs of guests eating please. We want to make this an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

Apparently they'll have a cash bar at the reception, too...lawl.

I'll ask my friend for her permission to print out the artwork if you guys are down with that idea. I doubt she has time to whip up new stuff. Also, I can play around a little more with that T-shirt idea I had goin' on. Clean it up a little. Hopefully friend's birfday party + paper + studying for midterm won't suck my time dry. XD

Haha nice little itinerary there dai, all sounds pretty epic. :D
BETTER BE effin' warmer than that, I lack fatty insulation to keep me warm and cozy on cold days in NorCal! :(

Yar, Ishiyoshi/Yossy/Rika fans, better start sending those messages. Even if it's super short and brief, juss do eet. If you want stuff translated I have a close friend who's fluent in Japanese.

I will of course be there, but I probably won't have time to join any of you.  I will most likely get to hang out w/ them if they spend any time in our green rooms. 

Did any of you get into the guest dinner or anything else?  I know there will be autograph signings and all that too.

So here's my problem... I don't have a clue what sort of picture books or cds or dvds I'd feel ok w/ walking up as a business guy and asking them to sign.  I mean, autograph session is one thing, but if I got them to sign I wouldn't want to have the Karen PB and look pervy...  so what's your thoughts?

Also, if you thought there was one thing from the fandom that either of them actually appreciate, let me know.

^Hi there stark!
Aww, well, hopefully we'll run into you and get to say 'Hi' at least. If we don't get to I'd like to thank you and your team ahead of time for organizing and giving us the chance to see them. =)

A couple of us signed up for the guest dinner/reception, but we haven't got any e-mails or notifications yet, or at least I haven't. I've been following up on the Sakura-Con forum and I read that there will be an e-mail concerning reception details going out shortly. Okaasan over at the forum said to PM her our info if we want to confirm if we're on the list, I guess I should just go ahead and do that? We'll jump at any chance to see the girls for sure. ;) Once in a lifetime thing.

Autograph material that's business appropriate? I think any CD or DVD with them in it is fine...maybe one that holds a certain value to you? A favorite? Past concert merchandise or H!P licensed photos would probably be good too. If you really want a signed copy of the Karen PB, we could temporarily trade items so I can end up looking like the pervy one at the autograph session haha.. :lol:

As far as something they'd appreciate from the fandom, this is probably something the rest of the board members should discuss, too. I wouldn't want to be representing with just a lone voice. XD

You have a preference in T-shirt color? Pink?

Panels! Can JPH!P still get in on it? I totally missed it  :doh: It would be a true honor for our humble forum to represent the multitude of Ishiyoshi fans across the globe. Any word on getting me and rev2hd getting behind the scenes :lol:

As a hardcore Rika Fan, I know Rika will appreciate just about anything. They put so much effort in all they do, whether it is Photobooks, bikni magazines, or music CDs. One thing that - even tho I roll the suit in my day job...I don't care if I am a perv, if anyone thinks I'm a perv - EVEN Rika :lol:

If there's something they'd cherish? - probably their original single. Happy Summer Wedding where they first debuted.

random note.. the japanese guests usually like it when people make the effort to translate stuff.  just don't lie about how well you know the language.  we had girls screaming at ketchup mania with big ol' signs.

Yo stark! Did any of your crew get my email about press passes haha.
I never heard a thing.  Did you hit up http://www.sakuracon.org/press/index.php and fill out the form?  Ever get an email from publicity@sakuracon.org?
You did all the steps, they should at least tell you yes/no.

Not on the schedule, but email panel@sakuracon.org and ask kami to add you guys to the 'night panels.'

Saving those pennies. Fuck yeah I'm gonna get drunk :lol:
LOL.

Cool idea about the graphics, should we compiled it all in a scrapbook or something? (Along with all the pictures, etc.)
My friend ended up cleaning up the artwork and she signed them. They were originally drawn on iscribble, so we shouldn't blow it up too big, otherwise the quality might be a bit poopy. I'll just link it here:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/_dinny_/th_27411_ncopy1.jpg) (http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/_dinny_/?action=view&current=27411_ncopy1.jpg)

If JPH!P gonna go pink, then pink it shall be. Pink/black would be cool though, since it fits the whole H&A theme.

Yeah, the girls work their butts of to please all of us fans. We'll be glad if they know how much we appreciate them! :)

Totally, the pastels/realism in your friends artwork is really excellent. We'll use a scrapbook/photo album type sheets. I'm a research a few joints. Talk to Fen/Ten.

haha Pink with a touch of black. Just as badass as JPH!P can be.

:D great slack...as long as I get to breathe her in, I'm a satisfied.

Aw, I did email panel@sakuracon.org but got postmaster failure.

Yep, I did all the steps but no reply.

Oh about the activation thing. I never got a second e-mail from them to activate my account, so after a week of waiting I decided to just give it a try and it worked. xD So maybe give it shot and try logging in.

Hm, dai, are you trying to set up and host a JPH!P panel or trying to attend the H&A panel?

DID SOMEONE SAY SUIT UP? /barney
Well, I was thinking if we wanted to wear JPH!P shirts to the reception we could toss a business suit (jacket) on, slap a tie on it and no one will complain. Though I have a feeling they're not gonna be strict about it, unless you went in rags...or nude. :lol:

This is the reply I got for my PM:
Quote
Yep hon you are on the list.

I'm going to be sending out an email to all of the guest reception attendees once I get the menu finalized.

As far as seating, hmmm I'm not sure as we are doing a cocktail event this year. I believe it is going to be more of a mingle around meeting the guests that you want to rather than the sit down affair we've had for years.

Hopefully I'll have an answer for you and can include that in the email as well.

Sheesh I have so many windows open, wtf. Okay, DONE.

Oh hey, quick question stark. I read somewhere that people shouldn't gift the girls? :( I'm not sure how accurate the sources are, but do you think we can prepare something for the girls on the behalf of JPH!P/fans outside of Japan to show our undying love and gratitude to them? It would mean a lot and I'm sure they would appreciate that!

That would REALLY suck, Dinny. We been working our asses off with gifts for the girls. This is the TRUE and BEST Rika fans represented overseas and it would mean more than anything in the world that they recieve our thanks.

From the anime cons I've been to (never been to Sakura-Con myself though), usually there is an open mic stand in front and when it's time for Q&A anyone can line up and ask the guests a question. Don't need to sign up or anything. You can just say you're from JPH!P when you go up. ;)

There will most likely be an autograph session in one of the huge rooms.  Also there's a good chance that there will be a Q&A and autograph in of the panel rooms.  That might just happen to be on the last day of the con.   Subject to change.  For the Q&A it'll most likely be open mic at the front with their translator involved. 

As for the press thing, the soft rule is a news site with 3 years and relatively new updates.  The press folk didn't recognize it when I said jphip.  So you might want to send it again if you're up for it.

As for gifts, I honestly don't know.  Each person is different so I can't tell for sure.  Also, it is supposed to be a time to relax during the receptions.  If you have presents, ask nicely first and don't rush them with a love knife.   :lol:  If you have a big ol' box, it might be best to ask during the reception and then bring it at the Q und A.

I would love to ask them questions. I know Ill be nervous as hell though. I get nervous really easily.

Im worried..... :cry:
Im still confused on how the concert tickets work. I cant even ask a question in the forum since my activation email hasnt come(its been a month already).

The thing is, Ill be arriving at my hotel around 4pm Friday.
They said the hours for the event booths are:
· Friday - 10am-4:30pm
· Saturday - 10am-4:30pm
· Sunday - 8am-10am

When you get the wristbands do you also get a concert ticket at that exact moment?
Do the people who get their wristbands first get the better seats? OR
Do you get the wristband but you still have to make the line for the concert during concert day?

Im really confused. I was planning on being in line for hours for good seats but the whole wristband 15 minute advantage thing is getting me confused   :frustrated:

@dai & tru
From what it sounds like the con staff are trying set things up in a way we could chat, chill, and mingle with them in some way or another. Not sure how it'll work, the question has been addressed on the board, but hasn't been properly answered yet. Not sure if you could just walk up to them, but I know that we'll get the chance to be near them at some point.

Stark, do you have any info to confirm this? Sorry to keep buggin' ya, but we're a curious bunch.:lol:
Thanks again for more updates and info. Don't worry, we'll be sensitive about the gift thing. Promise not to do any stabbing with the love knife. ;) (Why did that sound so wrong to me?)

@differentstory12
Hahaha, no worries. I'm normally a really big wuss, but if it's Rika and Yossy, I'll go embarass myself in front of them if it'll make them remember me. :lol:

About the activation e-mail for the SCMB, I didn't get a 2nd e-mail either. But after waiting for about a week I found out I could logon anyways lol. Perhaps give it another try?

From what I read, none of Sakura-Con's events are ticketed, so I'm guessing you just line up and go in.
Quote from: Dessa
There are no tickets for any event at Sakura-Con.

There are Event Passes that you can get if you stay in an affiliated hotel, which get you in early to the concerts, but there are no tickets.

I'm sure you still have to line up if you have a wristband. Either same or separate line. I've addressed this question on the board for you, so we'll find out what's going on when they give me an answer. So wristband just means you're only competing with other wristband people for seats, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the crowd without one.

XD If you're still confused let me know if you got anymore questions, I'll see if I can help you out. :)

Great insight stark!

Personally, giving gifts during the autograph session, seems most appropriate. That's what they did for local hockey players.

I sure am up for da press pass, we have some of the top news gatherers in H!P folklore going on 5 years now, plus 2ch loves us.

Where u staying again differentstory12?

I saw the question posted so thank you!<3 Hopefully someone answers it in detail.

I'm sure you still have to line up if you have a wristband. Either same or separate line.
I really hope this is the case! Too bad I couldnt be there early Friday morning. The cheap flights arrive in the afternoon XD

I was telling my sister about the reception and now she regrets not coming =/.

@daigong: A friend and I are staying at the Paramount Hotel.  :D
I read somewhere, I forgot where, maybe H!O, but they said that giving gifts during autographs might hold up the line. So you might hand it to a manager or someone? Or leave it in a table. Dont really know.

I've always wanted to see Yossie in person, but Yossie and Rika? Plus autographs and stuff?! GRR! I don't think I'd ever get the money to go to Japan to see them, either. :cry:

(but it will be ninja style, because I'm terribly shy and probably wont have the nerve to approach anyone)  :sweatdrop:

Awww, it's okay, I'm pretty shy, too. But I'm not gonna let that get in the way of having some fun!

Quote from: daigong
And LOL wings, daigong don't bite. Maybe Dinny :P
Shhh! Quit making me look scurry! I'm like...the least intimidating person evar.

Small shirt size for me. I got the shirt in the mail, BTW. Good stuff, thanks dai!
And fuck! I need to work on that design! Doing eet nows...

Good call on those press passes, hope you can get them. :D

EDIT to avoid double post:

@differentstory12 and others who were curious, I received an answer about the wristband and line question:

Quote from: Wormling
Hello Dinny. Thank you for the question. As stated by another member, there will be two lines. I will be forming the wristband line early, and will position it so that that line can access the room early and make way to the front. After a designated amount of time, another set of doors will be open and the secondary, non wristband line shall be permitted entrance and will make way into the room.

This Sunday I will be going over this in detail with my team and finalizing the plan with Kerensky18 to get all kinks worked out. The gist of it though, is that armband line gets to go in first, and has better seating.

Here is a question that I get asked on this topic that I want to clarify:
Question: If I don't have a wristband, but my friends/family do, can I stand in line with them in the wristband line.
Answer: No. No one is permitted in the wristband line without a wristband. The only exception to this so far is small children with their parents.
Side note** I am currently seeing if handicapped personnel are also exempt to this, or if I can get a separate line and seating arrangement for them as I have in prior years.

Hope this answers your questions. :)

I tried the shirt on and it's a little baggy, so I'm gonna see how much it'll shrink in the wash/dryer. I think it'll fit fine after that. =p

There's an update on the dress code for the reception:
http://scmb.sakuracon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18370&start=30#p534420

Basically it comes down to "No Bare Feet" and "No Indecent Exposure".(:lol:)

This was also posted up:
Quote
1) I will NOT allow anyone to line up for any event 30 minutes before the start of the event. This is the rule of the con and I enforce it. I do not do this to be mean. It is just con policy, and so, in the best interest of the con, lets all abide by it ^_^

So I guess we'll just have to "wander" around in the area until they let us line up.

Oh, daigong, I might need you to PM me your number since I'm not gonna be getting into Seattle until a few hours after you. We can arrange a meet at Roosevelt after I get my ass over from the airport.
I've attended anime cons in the past, the excitement kinda died down for me though...and the fact that some people drive me insane D: Only thing I really end up doing is hitting up the exhibitor's hall for crack goods.


Oh shit, are we sending the letters to Fen?

Then u mean Rika ain't gonna show up in some hotpants! Fuck I'm disappointed! I'm a get us some extra JPH!P goods too. Looks like I'll have to look into ladies sizes. SRSLY! Look at miniwheat's small xD

OMGASS. Less than ONE month and we be kicking it with Ishiyoshi :hump:

Hmm...lol u still up Dinny? I'mma text u right now lol

I did get a look at scrap books, and I got some ideas tho they fuckin expensive as hell!! Stickers, beads, like 5-10 bucks a pop - we can insert photos of ourselves too. Or like epic posts/quotes. Even record a message in a birthday card for Yossi. You know how Hallmark has that shit?

Fuck 3 am XD

It's so genius, I'm getting a boner just talking about it. Those who are coming and those who wanna plan this shizznit jump onto #Rika24 Wednesday or Thursday. Oh, man I still gotta like confirm with the guest reception?  :sweatdrop:

I might have some ideas for gifts...maaybe, not sure if they will fly. I'll drop by chat, especially since it sounds like you have some bonerific shirt idea. :D

Here's an update on the photo, video, and autograph policies for H&A. Totally blows, but it's what I kinda expected.

Quote
At the request of the bands's management this specific photography policy is in effect for Hangry & Angry and girugamesh while they attend Sakura-Con:
Public Photo / Video Policy

    * No photos, video or audio recordings are allowed during the live performances.
    * No photos, video or audio recordings are allowed during autograph sessions.
    * There will be a brief group photo opportunity immediately before the Q&A session. Once the Q&A session begins, no photos, video or audio recordings will be allowed.

Autograph Policy

    * Attendees may request one (1) autograph. Autograph items must be official artist merchandise.

Media Photo / Video Policy

    * JapanFiles.com must approve all media for photos/video of the concerts.
    * Approved photographers may shoot the first three songs only. (No flash.)
    * Approved videographers may shoot the first minute of the live performance only.

Media Interviews

    * Interview requests must be approved by JapanFiles.com. Approved interviews will be scheduled by JapanFiles.com (girugamesh) or Lynks International (Hangry & Angry).

@Daigong and everyone else who's going. We need to make sure we get in for that "brief group photo opportunity" or no pictures will happen unless we catch them out in the open elsewhere. I'm gonna double check to see if this applies to the  guest reception as well. BTW, the e-mail for the reception was sent out yesterday.

I got your PM daigong, I'll see you in chat tonight!

Hey guys, the schedule is finally up at the Sakura Con site.

http://www.sakuracon.org/programming/schedule.php (http://www.sakuracon.org/programming/schedule.php)

Looks like there's gonna be only one autograph session for the girls: Friday 12:30-2:30PM. (I'm currently double checking this on the SCMB, asking if there might be a short autograph session after their panel on Sunday.)
The concert will be on Saturday 7-9PM, with Myuji opening for them. Seating will start at 6PM. (or the line starts at 6PM? I'm not 100% sure...)
Q&A Panel will be 2-4PM on Sunday.

Annnd...that's all the H&A activities I see on there.

Well, Im sad now. Here's hoping for autographs on Sunday too.

Thank you rev2hd for all your help!

Awww. Initially I planned to fly in on Friday but I wanted to extra safe so I booked it for Thursday. Where did you get your tickets from? I'm pretty sure you can change it. I talked my friend into rearranging his because he was gonna leave at 5PM on Sunday. XD
Still waiting on that reply, I'll let you guys know ASAP.

How do those Hallmark cards work? I've never actually seen those. I think I need to go wander aimlessly in a mall, maybe I'll get lucky and stumble upon something awesome for Yossy. Hm, cute but punky huh?

So now that I cooled down...
BIG CONGRATS daigong  for the press pass!!!  :twothumbs What are the perks by the way?

Also awww man, about the pictures lol. I knew that would be the case but still XD

Quote
   * Approved photographers may shoot the first three songs only. (No flash.)
    * Approved videographers may shoot the first minute of the live performance only.

How do you get approved? Professionals only? Or is that part of the press pass too?


You bought a hallmark card for Yossie daigong? That's so cute!!! XD You should take a pic of it if you can =D
I still have to go to the mall for gift hunting time. I will though I will! This week.
I dont have much money now though lol  :sweatdrop: My original plan was to buy a gift for Yossie and Rika, and then a bday gift for Yossie.
Oh and I missed the chat  :( But if you guys have any more gift ideas, post away. Ill look for some stuff too.

Oooh so on Sunday there are 2 chances where we can say Happy Birthday to Yossie!!  :heart:
Hmmm oh  and I wonder if we can bring signs to the concert?  :mon huh2: XD

Oh good one tru_harmony, Yossie does like skulls XD Plus the heart shape adds a nice touch to it.
I looked around for gifts online, and the good things are expensive =/
There were some nice stuff in that Kanacca's Secret website like guitar earrings, charm bracelets, etc, but then I read that they rip you offXD. 
There was a website with this really nice charm bracelet with a guitar, a really nice black motorcycle jacket, a helmet, a heart, etc, but it was soooo expensive!  :doh: I dont have the picture with me now, since Im not in my computer but it was nice =(.
Saw some stuff on ebay too, but thats gonna take a while. So I think Im better off going to the mall XD

WOOO!!

WE BE COVERIN' THIS LIKE CNN, YO! I'll try my best to be airing shows that weekend XD

i got my artist friend to do some art shenanigans for us!

so far, i've sent her pics of rika and yossui as their normal selves and as hangry and angry... i also sent her pics of the cartoon characters H&A...
so far, we're doing individual semi-caricatures for rika and yossui...
(hair is the one they don when they perform, costume is the alternate costumes they have [refer to promo pics of h&a] and there'll be cat ears XD)

does that sound okay? i'm kinda torn between their h&a personas and their normal personas... which do you think should the art shenanigan reflect more?

as for the one with the two of them in the same pic... i'm not so sure yet... i don't want the thing to be screaming  "WOOOO!ISHIYOSHI!" XD ... but i want it to be damn cute... i like damn cute... i hope they do too XD

so.. if you wanna suggest anything... feel free to post it here ^^ or talk to us on #rika24

WOOOOOO KURT COBAIN!!!

Oh man. This is beyond epic. This is a whole new stratosphere. These aren't some Z-list celebrities, this is Rika Ishikawa and Hitomi Yoshizawa. They are JPH!P's modus operandi. It's raison d'être. And they know you. They know us! YOU TOUCHED THEM. TOUCHED GREATNESS! You've got to give more details.

Godamn, I've never been more jealous of anyone ever than those in that photo. XD Major props guys and girls. I'm really happy for you. It's one of those moments in life you're bound to cherish forever. :)

I just saw that pic at 2ch XD

Aye Yo!  I was searching for some HnA shit and i stumbled upon this forum cant believe i didnt know about this sooner!  So ya im going to this and this is gonna be my first con.  I watch only a select few anime and I do not cosplay so only reason why im goin is coz of HnA haha.  At first i was worried coz i wouldnt have anything to do until i read that there's gonna be a game room, so im probably gonna spend my time there.  For those of you who are going strictly for HnA what are you gonna do in the off time?

Fucking JPHIP on da fucking map. I can't say too much. I'm paranoid now lol. I laid low during the guest reception but did wave at Rika XD She was so fucking funny.

"Y'all Cosplayers Make us Feel underdressed!!"

Yossi was like "Rika got JETLAG. NOW she ANGRY!"

We was just like can take group photo "yes yes? hee hee..." they were so loose, it's incredible. Never ever give up faith in Ishiyoshi. NEVER!!! Best fucking celebs to rep!!

Best believe this is gonna be on a DVD THEY had some chick walk around recording some shit with this mega HD camica

The interview table was so intimate, like a typical board room table, I was seated like at the edge closest to Rika - with her handlers right beside me XD Was with these AnimeCon journalists and two from http://acparadise.com (http://acparadise.com) - Kimi and Stephanie who sat across from me on the other end.

Rika was like "I didn't order lemon tea" and they went and got her this normal ice tea, and dude slipped her a sugar packet like so secret like XD

I didn't expect so many questions we got to ask XD i txtd tenkei earlier for help and he was driving XD

My one question "You come to earth global warming blah how u plan to save?"

Yossi said: Turn off lights. Rika: unplug.

I asked em "When you dropping da next single?!?"

Rika: "I don't know" in english and cute shrug XD XD LMAO fucking with me!! And they said at the Sakura-con CONCERT TONITE!! And it will be available on the myspace shortly thereafter. And I was like I'm exciting and dont think she understood so I dropped a fucking subtle HAPPY with arm movement and she said "Ah! i know"

The said they never expected, could not fathom the overseas fans here.

I asked "What do you plan to do in Seattle?"

And they said First Starbucks, and wondered about the Mariners, Ichiro and I was like "Home opener is tuesday" and they said they be gone by then but Rika KNEW of Ichiro having a bleeding ulcer. Sports Fangirls  :inlove:

They were asked "Fave US Celeb?"

Yossi was "Britney! Michael Jackson!"

Rika said "OBAMA"   :pimp:

I asked em a classic TOK question: "Cake or Pie?"

They both answered cake with no hesitation XD Yossi like cheesecake, Rika strawberry shortcake. Both fans of Cheesecake Factory XD

The secret to getting Rika loose. Talk Food XD HUGE sushi fans.

I dropped the Cake or Pie and BOOM it was on.

Dude asked Favorite booze?

Yossi "White wine" Rika "Champagne" Yossi was like werd, we always Chardonnay!! THE GOOD STUFF!!

I asked em "Whats ur ideal man?"

And Yossi was like "Leo" and Rika was like "Hmm....Just a moment" in english XD She dropped Torres the Footballer. Ne Yo, Haddo Gei XD And other dudes. Yossi joked Tsunk-san XD

Butt yeah...getting fucking PWND by Rika and Yossi is something that will be in JPH!P Folklore FOREVER. This is how we fuckng roll. not the "Must respect idol" XD I didn't think of it at all XD

Scored me some H&A swag - 350 dollars. Yeah. XD

We just uploaded the preview to the MySpace page - it should be visible in a few minutes.
You can also preview it on their JapanFiles page (60 sec. preview).

We had to time this to come out EXACTLY at the same time as Japan (8 AM here in Seattle;12 midnight in Japan).

Yey! Finally got away from my workload long enough to drop more than just "thank you"s here and there...


H&A live, ftw~  :rockon:


You got to meet ishiyoshi in the flesh! Ah~ that is just bliss right there, man~  :mon angel: I'm sooo damn jealous! ihateyou ihateyou ihateyou ihateyou!!   :shilivid:


Seriously though, I f*ckin love you!  XD You guys are like f*ckin' HEROES to us all!! HEROES, i tell you! You got me soooo damn excited. I feel like I'm the one meeting them!! (In my dreams.) Lol Really though, you had me daydreaming! I even set a new lifegoal :  

Study real hard to get loads of cash... ultimately, to meet Ishiyoshi!!  :P  Finally gettin' excited about my career choice now... Wooh! Which means Ishiyoshi will indirectly make my parents happy as well! Ishiyoshi makes the world happy, i tell you!  XD

Quote
virtually hugging daigong is like getting some ishiyoshi off him  HEY EVERYONE, LET'S ALL HUG DAIGONG!!!  (esp. #1444 goers )

Oooh! Good idea, Tru! heads up, daigong! candy_boy hugs daigong


Oh! And you guys should really make JPHIP calling cards or something... Then, give 'em to UFA Agents! That'd be sooo cool! Then they'd be the ones a-callin'!  :twisted: Haha I wish  XD BUt really though, imagine THE RIKA-SAMA having your contact number!! And you'd be all like "Yo, call me!"  O0 Lol


Okay, I'm daydreamng too much.  :P Don't mind me1 :sweatdrop:


Anyway, GJ :on GJ:



Oka~y. Gotta go work on that newfound lifegoal now... Congrats, guys! Keep 'em coming!   :heart:



----------------------------------------------------------------------------


OMYGASS!! i was just taking my time typin' this and was gettin ready to go back to work but DAMN!!! DAMN!! 3 UBER EPIC POSTS suddenly appeared!!



OMYGASS! OMYGASS! OMYGASS!!! I AM SOOOOO F*CKIN' JEALOUS! LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE!  :mon runcry: :mon fire: :mon mad: :mon headbang: :mon headbang:


The phone call- The phone call-- was just sooooo ugh! I am so torn between tearing my hair out from envy and weeping for joy for you guys! So many people... Ishiyoshi are the new ambassadors for world peace! Stop the war, the exploitation,the terrorism.. Just go watch H&A live dammit! :lol:


"ISHIYOSHI 4 lyf!" :heart: :heart: :heart:

By the way, I can't imagine "the peace" as rock music!  :shocked i really can't! What with their cute lil sailor outfits and shining shimmering golden outfits and feather headpieces...  :D Can't wait to hear it for myself!


On a more subdued note (Lol), the excitement while listening to the phone convo was just so surreal... You could really hear history in the making there! It was like listenin to the live feedback on man's first trip to the moon or something! Or kinda like a live report on People Power 1 on EDSA (Philippine History)  Somehow, it made me feel that life as we know it was gonna change for the better! XD


you know, I had this little fear that H&A wouldn't last long because they were kinda in a lull after so long... and EC dissolving from H!p.. But just goes to show, doesn't it? Oh ye of little faith... never doubt ishiyoshi!  :twothumbs



HANGRY&ANGRY!!  ISHIYOSHI is love  :heart:


--------------------


Oh, I read over at H!O that you did give out JPHIP cards... Awesome!  :pimp:

ROCK VERSION OF THE PEACE, YO!!!!!!!

JPH!P UNITES THE WORLD, YO!

AWESOME LONG-ASS POST THERE, CANDY_BOY!!!

and YOU SAID IT: ISHIYOSHI IS LOVE!!!! (that's why we have a thread here and a radioshow for that XD )

KEEP IT ALL POSITIVE 100% PERCENT!!!

IshiYoshi as UN Peace ambassadors: they can totally promote The Peace! like it was 2001!

correction: cuz we're  crazy like that. :onionwhip:  :twisted:

Really though, H&A  <ahem> ishiyoshi <ahem> really do promote irrational thought (+ :heart:), don't they? but they leave us such a fuzzy feeling inside!  :wriggly:  :lol: :lol:


oh yeah, been lookin around... Daigong's a celeb now!  XD woohooo~  :otomerika: but it's only natural, right? He got 'greatness' rubbed all over him from that group pic (which is equally famous though am not allowed to see it yet  :P )

I heard there wasn't any jumping allowed? bummer.. but they really sounded like the live still blew their mind though, so, COOL!  :D


By the way, that newfound lifegoal is sort of in jeopardy now. I can't stop looking for new H&A updates!   :sweatdrop:

I'm so high right now I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight(no drugs, just the buzz from the amazing concert). I gotta go, have to email some stuff I wasn't supposed to get during concert.;)

Yo!  First and foremost big fucking ups to DAIGONG!  This foo is seriously THE Boss.

Quick recap of the concert;  That shit was epic.
 
Highlights;  Some songs were straight up FAN SERVICE!  They were all touchy feely with each other LoL.  Singing happy b-day to Yossie and she didnt know about it!  She was seriously suprised.  Rika with her air guitar and lil skirt dance.  And The Peace remix was prolly the best shit ever.

They, HnA, really seemed like they enjoyed themselves.  At the end of the show we were all yelling Encore and after a while they came back out and did Kill me Kiss me again.  Shit was too good.  Ishiyoshi for life!

New song sounds good!

Signing sessions like that are always so awkward for some reason. It's like "IM YOUR FAN!" and they are like "thanks.."  :lol:

The phone call is amazing  XD

Gotta hear that rock version of tha peace! Hope it'll be included on some future album or single.

Did i just read the word "FANSERVICE"?!  O0

:lol:Details! I demand details!  :twisted: Lol I really hope they show it on DVD or MySpace or something...


meanwhile...

Woah! A vid already? They're fast! :shocked  Awesome! Thanks heaps, Masa... :twothumbs

Poor, Yossie... She looks really tired! Jetlag, I suppose? Maybe it's her uber blonde hair? It makes her look paler, the lines more noticeable... Still fabulous though!  :heart: Rika looks mighty peachy. Tis teh charmy!  :wub:

Aw~ they didn't include ishiyoshi workin' their chemistry during their intro? the jetlag bit that the others were talkin' about.. By the way, Yossy actually looked small in her oversized striped jacket! so cute! like a lil kid  :heart:

And for some reason, i felt a bit nervous for the fans. The vid kinda made it seem like the autograph signing had a controlled atmosphere. That always makes me nervous... not to mention that you have perfectly enchanting heavenly bodies waiting at the end of the line!   :wriggly:

note to self: send a half dozen bouquets of white roses to Yossy after finally becoming loaded (inspiration!)

well, got motivated again. Osu! Off to editing that long-ass term paper again....

This all sounds so cool! I totally wish I was there!

Speaking of, my friend is there right now cosplaying, and she was at the concert too!

She said she recorded some audio as cameras weren't allowed, but said the bass was really high so it might not sound so great, also she got interviewed by the Japanese lady with the camera, which she had to BS her way through because she only knows Kill Me Kiss Me :lol:
She also said a friend of hers on staff got to eat dinner with H&A, so he's a lucky SOB, haha.

I'm finally home after driving through those torrential rains.  The con was so damn awesome.  Now I need more sleep, something substantial to eat and drink more water.  My voice is still so hoarse after all the cheering at the concert.  I should have taken tomorrow off work  :doh: 
Best memory was when Kimuuu and I bumped into them in our hotel lobby quite late after the concert had finished and telling Yossy that it was a great concert.  :twothumbs

Finally back home with actual internet access! There's SO MUCH to talk about because this weekend was just too fucking epic. I need to get this off my chest first: I GOT TO SHAKE RIKA'S HAND ALSKDFJ;AKLJ YUSSS! :pimp:

I need to recollect my thoughts a little so I'll follow up with details about other stuff later. Focus a little on the concert for now. Most of us were having a hard time remembering what the exact order the songs were, so I'll just list them in...whatever order I can think of right now. XD

They opened with a new song. (I thought it was SadisticDance, but after listening to the song again I think SadisticDance was the song they performed when dancing with their fluffy fans...which was later on...but I could be wrong.) Angelia, new song No Future, GIZA GIZA, new song SadisticDance, Romantic ni Violence, Kill Me Kiss Me, Jimmy Hendrix US National Anthem, surprise Happy Birthday song to Yossy, The Peace! Rock vers., Love & Peace! HERO ga Yattekita, and finally ENCORE: Kill Me Kiss Me. 12 in total. Omitted WALLFLOWER.


First thing I gotta say is: There was some nice Ishiyoshi acshun going on. :heart: I think it was in the first song Yossy snakes her arm around Rika's waist and they hold hands and stuff. Everytime they did that the crowd goes insane. Daigong, me, everyone's all AHHHHHSLKDfjaklfjkasdjfskdjafWOOOOOSkfjlaskdf;kjheartheartMOARPLS!!!!! Then you got the random touching and feeling up the leg, etc. On a semi-related note: During the Q&A Panel Rika said right before concerts she'll write the kanji "hito" on her hand 3 times and swallow it, and she'll hug Hangry. I thought that was adorable.

The best Ishiyoshi ACSHUN moment, IMO, was in the encore when Yossy decides to spontaneously reach her arm around Rika's shoulders and pulls them close together, her hand finding its way to the top of her cleavage. :drool: Definitely got a reaction from there fans there. XD Rika got all shy and giggly lol.


All the new songs are just effin' GREAT. Not really good with describing songs, so hopefully they'll have previews up sometime? Maybe? *Has no idea* After the first song or two they came out with a bunch of circular glow sticks and started tossing them out into the audience. I managed to get a blue one from Rika, and a couple others from the group got some, too. My friend got one from each girl, damn tall people. XD

Really tired and I got work in the morning so I gotta cut this short for now. We camped out for about 4 hours so the group on front center. I have a bruise on my elbow as proof since I kept bashing it against the railing in front of me. :|

BLARGH. I just accidentally opened an image with this tab and when I hit back it cut off a bunch of what I wrote. >| Something about jumping up and down like maniacs, us yelling so much we couldn't talk right after, how awesome the rock version of The Peace! was and how I'd kill to have an audio, and how Yossy and Rika came out with the American flag around their shoulders like capes. I guess I'll stop here. Leave you guys with some pictures. Post more later.

The stage.

Couldn't get pics of H&A, but this would be how close they were to us, using opening act Myuji's pics for reference. That's press up there.

Lol, I'm still at work.  I decided to take a break to transcribe my notes from the Q&A panel.

I put "Y" for Yossy's answers and "R" for Rika's.
[edit1] Their responses in quotes means it's exactly what they said in English or Japanese.
[edit2] I learned how to spell "wotagei"  :lol: and I added some missing info that Kimuuu told me.

Introduction:
Translator: This is Hangry and this is... <crowd says "ANGRY!">
R: "Yes"

Question: Who are some artists that inspire you as a musician? [corrected]
Y: Michael Jackson, Britney Spears
R: Morning Musume

Question: Where do you get your clothes?
Y: Shibuya
R: Harajuku

Question: I couldn't hear the whole thing and it was quite a long story.   Basically the guy was asking Rika for permission to embroider this on the back of a jacket:
(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/121/happybunnything.th.jpg) (http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=happybunnything.jpg)
R: "...Ok"

Question: Since the concert was last night, what's your opinion about the differences between the American and Japanese audience?
Y: Saikou.  The American crowd knows how to enjoy themselves.  In Japan there is "wotagei" where the audience have choreographed dances and moves.  In America, they're more enthusiasic and individualistic, mostly the gesture is like: <Yossy demonstrates fist pumping in the air>
R: In Japan, there are mostly men in the audience.  I'm surprised to see so many women.

Question: Who is your favorite Techno artist?
R: Underworld

Question: In Morning Musume, was your tomboy character something that the managers asked you to portray or is that really your personality?
Y: When she joined she wanted to be an idol, then slowly it became her real self, but deep inside she wanted to be an idol.

Question: How do you feel about being the most beautiful women in the world?
R: "Happy, very happy"
Y: Very happy

Question: What is your favorite rock band?
Y: Girugamesh
R: Girugamesh
Y&R: Ah! Sharan-Q!

Question: What is your favorite anime?
Y: Crayon Shin-chan
R: Sailor Moon

Question: Would you like to come back to America?
Y: Of course

Question: (I couldn't hear all of this story either) A woman's 9 year old daughter was crying because she couldn't come from Florida.  Would they come back and go to Florida?
R: "Of course"

Question: Their first official US performance was in Washington State, would they have wanted it elsewhere?
Y&R: We were very happy to have it in Seattle and Sakura Con

Question: Were the band members we saw last night, their official band, or were they put together just for the concert?
Y: Just for the Sakura Con concert.

Kimuuu's Question: Are there any plans for a Hangry & Angry photobook?
R: It's not scheduled yet, but we wish there would be one.
Translator: Would you like that? <crowd cheers> Then you have to speak to the manager..
Y: Manager-san onegaishimasu.
I think at this point, their manager just says "Hello hello".

Question: Have you had to change your character after switching from Morning Musume to Hangry and Angry?
Y: It wasn't hard, I'm enjoying it.
R: I agree.
The translator explains that putting on the costumes and the make up is like a 'switch' for performing in character.

Question: What's your favorite part of the concert?
Y: I loved the crowd involvement, especially when I sang the line "Kill Me" then the crowd sang "Kill Me", then I sang "Kiss me" and the crowd repeated "Kiss Me".
R: Yes and the audience was enjoying the concert.

Question: Would there ever be a chance of Hangry and Charmy Ishikawa?
R: "No, I'm Angry."

Question: What was your favorite cosplay from the whole convention?
R: There was a character from One-Piece, Chopper, a reindeer but it was a woman.  She was showing a bit of her stomach and I thought it was sexy and cute.
Y: Sushi, maki sushi. *gestures like a person wearing an inflatable ring* I was out shopping when I saw it and was surprised.

Question: Would you like the chance to do an anime?
Y&R: Yes, we'd like to do it.

Question: Do you still participate in Gatas?
Y: I practice once a week.
R: I sabotage the practice a lot.

Question: What can we expect from Hangry and Angry in the future and in Japan?
Y: There's an album coming out in the fall.
R: We want to do a world tour.

Question: What's your favorite thing while sightseeing?
R: The ocean, seafood
Y: Seafood, the waterfront grill
Then they started naming things on the menu like lobster, hotate, kani, ebi, oyster, fish.  Everything was so good.

Question: When you performed The Peace, were you surprised that many of us knew it?
Y: It was very exciting that you knew The Peace already, but at the same time, we can't trick you.

Question: Why did you leave Morning Musume?
We graduated from Morning Musume and wanted to move onto the next step.

Question: In one interview you mentioned you wanted to go to the Space Needle, did you get a chance to see it?
Y: No, we didn't get a chance but I want to go.

Question: What are your thoughts and feelings leading up to the concert?
Y: I hope that people enjoy our concert.
R: I was very nervous.  Before the concert I'd write the character for "person" on my palm three times and swallow it, then I'd hug Hangry.

Question: Again I missed it but it had to do with how they felt the morning after the concert.
R: We got too excited, so when I woke up the next morning, my arm was sore.
Y: My neck hurt because I was head banging too much.

Question: Have you tried bubble tea, do you like it?
R: Daisuki!  My favorite is milk tea.
Y: "Ko-hi-. Coffee"

Question: What words and presents from fans make you happy?
R: Being able to see everyone's smiles where we can see you up close and personal like this, and coming to the concert.
Y: "Me too"

Question: Some of your American fans speak Japanese, is it surprising that there are some who don't know Japanese but still love your music?
Y: I love it.  Even when you say Japanese words like 'arigatou' or 'konnichiwa'.  It's exciting that you know the music.

Question: Who would you want to recruit for Gatas?
Y: Ronaldinho, Beckham, Raul
R: "Otoko dame!" we're a women's futsal team, is it ok?
Y: Yes
They'd like to recruit good players, so it's ok.

Question: When the crowd sang Happy Birthday to Hangry, how did you feel?
Y: I was totally surprised and happy.  Angry surprised and tricked me really good.

Message to fans:
Y: Thanks for coming to Sakura Con and the concert.  Please support us.
R: I'm happy to be here, please support us.

Kei's Con report:

Friday
I woke up Friday morning at 4:30am to being my trek down to Sakura Con.  It took me about 4 hours to get down to Seattle and find parking.  Due to the huge line ups, I missed the opening ceremonies, and I went into the H&A autograph session about a half-hour after it started.  I was a bit surprised and somewhat disappointed at the short line.  Then again I remembered that the schedule was posted quite late and I figured most people were held up at Registration and wouldn't be able to make it.  It also surprised me that they cut the autograph signing an hour into the 2-hour session.  I thought it was because there weren't that many people in line.  Later we found out that Rika wasn't feeling well and suffering from jet lag, so they decided to stop.  I noticed that when Yossy signs something, she'll look at you in the eye as she hands it back to you.  Rika sometimes glanced quickly.  They are both quite intent when they're signing something, it looks like they're very focussed on it.

All my fears of a small turn-out were proven wrong with the boisterous cheering and applause they got at the Guest of Honour dinner.  Shortly before the dinner, they walked through the crowd (we had to clear a path for them) to get into the room at the Grand Hyatt.  Rika was covered with a pink blanket while Yossy was wearing her long black adidas jacket.

During the introductions, Yossy said that she was surprised to see all of the cosplayers.  She was looking forward to eating to get energy to perform at the concert.  Rika said she was also surprised at the cosplay.  She thought she'd be embarrassed because in her Angry costume, she'd stand out, but among the cosplayers, she seemed to fit in.  She also said she thought she was a bit underdressed.  There was another part about Rika being very sleepy from jet lag and something about not being able to eat the spring rolls, but I couldn't hear why.  Then Yossy took the mic and said "She is angry.  She is angry." which brought a good chuckle to the crowd.

They didn't actually eat at the reception.  They stood around a small cocktail table while there was a translator on each side of them, then everyone stood in line to chat a bit and move on.  I had a bad cold/flu all week so I let Kimuuu do most of the talking.  Since we weren't allowed to take photos, I asked if I could shake their hands and they both agreed.  The one thing I remember was that Rika's hands were warmer than Yossy's.  They left about an hour or so into the reception.  We were told that they were going to eat and they don't like eating in front of people.  As they passed by me, they were turned so their backs were facing me and all I remember was seeing holes in the shirt that Yossy wore.  The shirt was supposed to be that way and you could see her white shirt through it.  Someone said they were shorter than they expected so I remember looking down at her shoes too and noticed they were black boots with a flat heel.

Saturday
I went sightseeing in the morning and barely made it back in time for the concert.  Even though it was a long wait, the concert was AWESOME.  I stood in front of center stage with row of people in front of me, so I had a really good view.  My only complaint was the sound level of the mic was too low and you had a lot of problem hearing the vocals.  Regardless, the concert was so damn fun!  There was lots of Ishiyoshi action.  Yossy's arm around Rika's waist, Rika feeling up Yossy's leg, interlocking pinkys while singing.  Yossy throwing her arm around Rika's neck/shoulder.  The crowd couldn't get enough.  They knew how to throw a party.

In their first break, they greeted everyone in English and had a small speech.  You can tell they practiced alot.  It was so cute.  At one point of the concert, we saw them go get an armful of glow in the dark rings.  Yossy had the pink ones and Rika had the blue ones.  They started throwing them out to the audience.  I told my tall friend that he had to get one for me, and he snagged me one from Yossy. *_* wai wai.  They performed one of the new songs dancing with a small feather fan.  At the end of the song, they threw their fan out to the crowd.  That was unsuspected.  Later, the projection on the back wall turned into a "Happy Birth Day Hangry" sign, and the guitarist started playing the Happy Birthday tune while we sang along.  Yossy looked surprised and Rika said it had been a secret.  The rock versions of The Peace and Love & Peace Hero ga yattekita threw everyone for a loop and the cheering got louder.

After a long day including dinner at the steakhouse, Kimuuu thought she saw Rika in our hotel lobby.  It was past 1am but we were going to head down anyway to get into the business center and use their computers.  After getting our gear ready, we headed to the main level.  There were a few people in the lobby and we weren't sure if it was Rika because the view was from behind.  We were about to leave until we heard Rika's voice.  So we decided to head across the lobby to the front desk for a city map, I was actually curious if there were any bars around.  When we were there got a pretty good look and knew it was her.  We walked closer to the front door and I actually didn't see Yossy sitting there, she was so quiet!  I was more focussed on Rika talking to a guy who was trying to explain something in Japanese.

After a little while I knew we couldn't stay there and stare so I walked up to Yossy who was fiddling with her cellphone and she looked up at me as I got close so I told her it was an excellent concert and gave her a thumbs up.  I think I took her off guard because she just smiled a bit, nodded and gave me a thumbs up.  The person near her said thank you and we walked off to the business center.

Yossy looked pretty tired, after all, they had just performed at the concert a few hours earlier.  She had taken the pink extension out of her hair and it just pulled back into a ponytail.  It's all blonde.  She was wearing her light blue jacket, dark pants and boots.  I'm pretty sure it was the same jacket as this:
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/900/yossysjacket.th.jpg) (http://img17.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yossysjacket.jpg)

Rika was in a dark jacket, I think maybe dark brown rather than black.  I think they were going out because they were sitting on the sofa right in front of the main door.  I was a bit surprised that they'd be going out at that hour.  It must have been 1:30am by then.

Sunday
Before the Q&A panel, they tried to play the Kill Me Kiss Me PV, but VLC player kept crapping out and crashing.  Eventually they didn't bother with it and introduced Hangry and Angry.  I spent the whole Q&A session scribbling down notes.  For the last half of the session, they started signing autographs, I noticed they were using colored markers so I had them sign my journal instead of the black t-shirt I bought.  As Yossy was signing it, I said it was my Sakura Con diary and she said "Sugei".  I said the same thing to Rika and she was surprised.  My con pretty much ends there as I had to make sure I could drive all the way back home through the heavy rains safely.

K, I'm still beat and a bit crazy... 

Dai is very classy in person.  I was expecting a psycho fan with a LoveKnife[tm] at the ready but all of you guys were really respectful at the right times.  It was great to see so many hardcore fans.  I'm sorry I forgot the names of the other two I kept bumping into.  You were both very awesome and filled with glee.  I can't believe they signed the jersey!
I cannot believe Dai asked me /that/ question in his interview with me.  I hope I didn't spoil your fun, but I had to keep it professional then :(

Only a few of my board members knew how much of a fan I was until they saw my smile. 
...Dream ....come ....true.  :inlove:

I got to shake their hands.
I got a high 5 and was somewhat a part of the circle cheer before they went on stage.  (I was with their guards on our own outside circle)
   random note: by random chance I was also part of the smile.dk circle cheer in their dressing room.
I got to MC/Introduce them at opening, closing, and the concert.
I was just off stage right with the JapanFiles people during the concert.  It was crazy awesome seeing you guys front and center.  You were closer than I was during the concert~!
I sadly only had my con book signed, but it was still super awesome.

Strangest thing:  My ex-roommate (and good friend) was in cosplay as Mojo Jojo.  Rika was in her normal clothes and saw him and thought it was so cool that she wanted a picture with him..  I hated him for a good hour or so, but all our guests seem to love him. [and no I can't post it!]

Their cosplay mascots were totally awesome and did a great job dealing with the costumes themselves and the crowds when they walked around.  The mascots also were play-fighting with me backstage.  /hAngry uppercut!

Also:  If you want to see a overweight white dude filled with glee, look at the 1 minute mark on their first Sakura-Con video.   ;)

I didn't realize until being on stage... that they are SHORT.  SHORT!  And very cute. (ok, I knew that last part, but still)

Speaking of video.  I don't know what UpFront and/or JapanFiles will be doing with it all, but audio was recorded and so was the HD video you saw on the big screens.  Concert DVD?  I hope so!

The guest dinner was awesome.  Their liaison/translator didn't realize the 'soft line' existed, they thought people just were wandering around.  Everyone was very polite.  Unfortunately they didn't have time to eat, and we felt bad.  But I guess their management had planned on a lot of people wanting to talk them and made sure they had a great dinner elsewhere.

Oh!  One last thing.  If any of you guys have links/posts/info about Hangry and Angry at Sakura-Con, please let me know.  Someone said something about a 2ch post that said american fans are cool too because of all of this.  Shoot me an email or pm with the linkage?!

@stark
I was the shortie tagging along with daigong all weekend. Haha, I have that little interview with you and dai after the opening ceremony on my HD camcorder. I could probably cut "certain" parts out if you want and post it somewhere. :D "BRO HUG!" Yep, it's all there. :twisted: FUNNY GUY, this stark guy. Shoulda seen him sing and dance at the closing ceremony. ;) Thanks for everything, we know you worked hard for this.

I got footage of us at the con talk about H&A and whatever random shit we talk about. I'll compile everything shortly and upload it. Let me know if you're interested.

All the H&A events were awesome and operated smoothly, except for the Q&A panel on Sunday. We got a little screwed. (Though I still had a good time at the panel.) I had asked a staff member, who I saw talking to that H&A handler you introduced us to, about where to line up for the panel. He told us to line up along this one wall where girugamesh's line was held before. He said they would clear out the room, so we waited there since 11AM. 2PM, next thing we know the panel is about the start, no one cleared out of the room, and no one came to tell us anything. There was about an entire wall and a half of people waiting in that line.
--

I should have said this earlier, but meeting so many other people on/off JPH!P was an amazing experience. Dai and I seriously thought we were just gonna be chillin' alone for the weekend, but we bumped into all these other awesome fans and we spent the entire weekend together, enjoying each other's company. Wouldn't have been the same without them. Dai, showing off his JPH!P pimpin' skills managed to make friends with the Japanese fans, too. At the beginning of the con we kept to ourselves, but by Sunday we were hugging and fist bumping with them lol. Two fans I met are NorCal locals like me, so we were pretty excited about that.

REALLY wish all you fellow HiPstas were there with us. Everyone try to make it down to MM in LA! We'll all help prep and make it the best time ever. So FUCKING PROUD to be a part of this community.

The one thing I remember was that Rika's hands were warmer than Yossy's.
I noticed this too, that Rika had nice warm hands. I didn't realize my hands were slightly cold AT ALL until we shook.
She was so cute.

Me: Can I shake your hand?
Rika: *confused* Hm?
Me: Lol, um...*holds out hands slightly*
Rika: OH! *takes my hands*

Quote from: ChocoMochaKei
Question: Again I missed it but it had to do with how they felt the morning after the concert.
R: We got too excited, so when I woke up the next morning, my arm was sore.
Y: My neck hurt
Haha, I remember she said the reason for her neck hurting was from too much head banging. :rockon:

Aha!  That's what I thought she said, but I didn't want to type it out because I wasn't sure.  I heard "because hitting too much" which doesn't make sense so I omitted it.  I'll keep correcting the Q&A

I hope a good H!P act comes to the east coast at some point, cause there's no way I could afford to go all the way out to Cali right now.  Maybe that comment they made about coming to Florida one day will come true.  :P

Question: I couldn't hear the whole thing and it was quite a long story.   Basically the guy was asking Rika for permission to embroider a specific image on the back of a jacket.
R: "...Ok"
The guy asked if he could have the bunny
(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/310964/happybunnything.jpg)
embroidered on the back of his jacket too.

Question: Who is your favorite Techno artist?
R: Underworld (I hope this is right, I don't know this band.)
Yep, that's right.

Quote
Question: Who would you want to recruit for Gatas?
Y: Ronaldinho, Beckham, Raul
R: But we're a women's futsal team, is it ok?
Y: Yes
They'd like to recruit good players, so it's ok.
The one thing I distinctly remember was Rika saying: "Otoko dame!" (No guys!) Girls only because it's a female league/team before Yossy explained herself to her. Then Rika was all like "Oh okay...I guess..." and gave in lol. XD

I lol'd when Rika said she'd sabotage the practices. :lol:

Yo!  Just got home.  Best weekend ever!  Epic in so many ways.  Thanks to everyone.

When i got to seattle i thought i was gonna just chill by myself n shit but im glad i met you guys, shit was mad fun.  I remember daigong saying he only expected like 4-5 people but by the end of the weekend we straight up formed voltron on their asses!  I think at one point we were 16 deep!  Wow.

Big ups to everyone.. from the lefties, to the hawaiian, the boss, the japs, my dyke homie, peepz from other forums and everybody else in between and outside the box, yallz made this shit memorable, thanks!

Sunday was a bitter sweet end to an epic journey.  After the group slowly disbanded me dai and rick had a couple of beers and some food and just talked about random shit.  Along the way we ran into myuji's bass player!  haha that was random.  I gave that foo some props and we started shouting japanese hentai at him haha.  I got pretty tipsy, went to the hotel and crashed out.  Best ending ever.

and a MAJOR SHOUT OUT TO WOTA GUY!  Dai and rick knows whats up  :lol:

And even tho this weekend was tight, i told dai we running this shit back in LA!  Good shit

IshiYoshi for Lyfe!

Where to begin?  How hot Rika and Yossi were? How hard they rocked it? The huge Japanise guy that was right in front of me that never heardof deoderant?

Oh man, I remember that gigantor looking mofo.  Seeing Yossy & Rika probably negated having to put up with his "scent" for the entire time. :D I had some crazy red headed dude jumping on my back the entire concert, felt like elbowing him in the face.  But it was all good fun so no injuries were given.  :lol:

Super secret stark spy also found out they celebrated with cake at the cheesecake factory right next to the con. 

Sunday+Easter weekend means it was slow going.  But since we're all used to the rain, most people stay in clubs/bars/venues but don't chill outside so its hard to see where things are going.

On that note, I unfortunately mentioned the goth club I belong to on sunday morning.  I don't know the reaction from the girls but I know their translator/liaisons thought it would have been awesome to have them see some of our nightlife.  (best part would be no one would be the wiser)

And Ops, you didn't have to deal with GigantorJap, I did. D: I swear I smelled him around me for many hours following the concert. My shoulder also remember his dropping elbow after he tried to jump.

^Thanks for the videos!


Aww the group picture is cute =D
Thanks to you guys for a great weekend! Both daigong and rev were great leaders  :D You really brought everyone together.
It was nice hanging out with Yossie and Rika fans!
Oh and by the way getting lost after leaving Waterfront Grill was actually fun. Cold but fun XD.


Ah they went to the cheesecake factory too? Awesome.

The concert was awesome. I still cant stop thinking about it.
I remember I needed water asap and my feet were killing me afterwards but I was so into the moment that nothing mattered.
Ahh shaking Yossie and Rika's hand, plus the eye contact at the concert killed me.

LOL During the concert since Yossie kept throwing her pink glowstick necklaces far back, I HAD to get one from Rika, and then when she threw one, both me and Ripusu caught the exact same one and broke it in half lol. So she kept one half and I kept one half XD We pretty much went crazy during the concert. It was so much fun!

Rika is so sweet, I really love her smile <3 She was already one of my favorite members, but after this, ahhh she went up for sure. She's so nice! <3 And Yossie!!  :wub: I pretty much died when she looked at me at the concert, plus when I told her I was a big fan and she said "ahh thank you" in English during the Q&A handshake, yep I died once again.

I would write my report but its going to be looong. XD
So Ill add details later.

Great thing you guys wore your jph!p shirts, since I could spot you guys so much easierXD.
Loved the JPH!P H&A shirts by the way, I would love to have one  :heart:


Oh and Kei! You got to talk with Yossie at the Hyatt!  :w00t: OMG!!

I would post my review in great detail... but i know DS12 is going too for the both of us here (thank you ds12 =P) since we both went together... so i'll just state some of my highlights

At the reception rika shook my hand for a good second and BOWED!!!!! and i was all like "right right i must bow" and gave a slight nod LOL. When they found out we were from miami (as DS12 explains her review) she looked at both us in the eyes and said "really? really?" and now i can't here that word with our remembering that moments

The concert was FREAKING amAZING.... everytime rika came to my side i totally died... and her dancing was so cute!!!!!!!!!! AHH i TOTALLY FANGIRLED WITH RIKA!!!!!!

I screamed "RIKA AISHITERU" like five times untill she awknowledged me!!! DAMMIT took her sweet time lol j/k j/k... maybe... anywho...

and then at the Q-A i asked a question that got the audience cheering!!!!

and then at the signing... when rika was signing... I was like " Rika-chan rika-chan, aishiteru!" and she totally smiled and said "thank you" and then signed my stuff and pointed at the heart that she did at the end and said "for you" in her engrish and that's when i officially just DIED inside!! i got off jumping and hugging random people around me and ect... it was AMAZING!!!



besides these official things...

Me and ds12 saw yossy in tully's and if you wanna read about that... go read ds12's post when she posts it XD! It's also in h-O if you dont want to be patient.

I met ALOT of awesome people at the con and even though i went for Yossy and Rika which made the trip worth it... it was the peeps i met and exchaged emails with and created starting friendships that really made this trip memorable.

Just to name a few:

Gogirlanime (h-O)
Kimuuu (hitomi heaven)
Kei (hitomi heaven)
Rev2hd (JPHIP)
Daigong (JPHIP)
My four japanese friends who we hung out with (Aya, Mika, Mae and tao-kun!)
The guy who took us to eat the water front grill hotel and we all got lost!!! !!
Wolfey Wofl! (jpihp/H-O)

and many many many more who i can't recall their names but i definately remember their face!

Im hoping that something similiar to the awesomness that this weekend was happens in July with mm at AX... HELL YEAH!!!

1444 FOH EVAH!!!!

Super secret stark spy also found out they celebrated with cake at the cheesecake factory right next to the con. 

That's right -- it was sort of hard to miss the group from Sakura-Con and JapanFiles and UFA celebrating Yossie's birthday. We saw some fans in the restaurant looking over (hard to not notice all the noise and singing) but everyone was very respectful and allowed her to enjoy her celebration uninterrupted.

Thanks for all the warm wishes - she couldn't believe that so many people in America knew about her birthday!

^ LMFAO..they had mentioned "Mmm Cheesecake Factory" in my interview but we were all like Let's soak in the Waterfront Grill that they were at XD FUCK! Totally failed at stalking, and brought the duct tape and clown masks! j/k MAD EPICness to y'all who saw em wandering!! POST MORE REPORTS PLS!!

THATS HOW WE DO. JPH!P WORLD TOURS make it WORTH IT!! lol look at me claiming you all. But shit. Everyone is like fucking family like they knew each other all along. Ripusu & differentstory12 EPIC u know i got a soft spot for Miami Latinas, Kimuu & Kei, fucking epic candid moment!! Tully's hmm.

lol My throat is still sore. Doesn't help if you were that asshole leading the mad applause/hollering at the Q&A.

Let's recap Sunday a bit...

WOW. It was a memorable adventure after the con anways. Ocean front and centre! I ain't complaining!! Maybe FIGHBIRD the Wota Guy who kept screaming "It's COLD! My nuts!" or smth in japanese XD when we escorted all the ladies to their hotels, we walked with him far far away to this shitty motel lol. Taught em all the nWo "4 LIFE" hand sign too XD

It was crazy awesome seeing you guys front and center.  You were closer than I was during the concert~!
I sadly only had my con book signed, but it was still super awesome.

LMAO! You -ARE- a closet fanboy XD Where'd u get those security? Scowling at us as we were going insane DONT TAZE ME BRO!

Also:  If you want to see a overweight white dude filled with glee, look at the 1 minute mark on their first Sakura-Con video.   ;)

Dude I posted yer pic in HiP Joint in the world tour thread XD

Speaking of video.  I don't know what UpFront and/or JapanFiles will be doing with it all, but audio was recorded and so was the HD video you saw on the big screens.  Concert DVD?  I hope so!

The little lady with the HD camera filming? At the Q&A, I took her aside and I asked her what it was for and she said myspace. Then without missing a beat asked if we could record a bday greeting for Yossi (cuz our original plan was scrapped due to not being seated together as Dinny mentioned)

FUCKING NOT BULLSHITTING.

So HD Cam Lady brought us outside the hall and against a wall, and we did "HAPP-II~~" pose  and then in a Yossi-like pointing "BIRTHDAY!!" and shit, each of us got facetime to do a lil blurb!!!! Stragglers joined in but WHO CARES!! The more the merrier!! Later I gave her our card XD :pimp:

We were so HYPED...me and crispysoupchef chest bumped NBA style XD

We did eventually get to do our BDAY chant THO!!!! As they were leaving the autograph signing, we just we like waving and shit, we go LETS DO IT...and went "HAPP-II~~ .....BIRTHDAY!!" to Yossi and Yossi was like WTF!!!! and Rika was like cute applause!!! as they left, we did this grab each other jump up and down celebratory dance like in the NBA pre-game HYPE!! And yep, recorded on the HD Cam Lady!!!!

Great Q&A Recaps!!!

I didn't manage to get a seat near the front, but fuck bullshitted with the Yossi Japanese fangirls near the left side, close to stage and kneeled. SO YEAH, whole time I was literally worshipping IshiYoshi!! I'd be that maniac to the side after their responses, whooping and hollering. Like "What photobook" and "Yes we working on one." and I yelled "ALO HELLO!"

Lay low? Who me XD

The even more fucking crazier shit, is that fucking. It was advertised brief group photo prior but IT DIDNT HAPPEN!! That's why me and dinny wore the giant jphip logo shirt XD

The funniest thing about the Q&A was them "While you're waiting, watch their PV!!" and their lapper kept fucking up :lol: if I knew more Japanese we shoulda sang it.

I loved that Yossi loved our react to the song. When H&A sings "Kill Me" we yeled KILL ME!!!! "Kiss Me" we go "KISS ME!!!!" haha, and here I was Terrie (H!P Taiwan site super fangirl) show us some wotagei moves! I did lead the HEY! HEY! HEY! during the non singing parts, and Rika felt that vibe and like fist pump gestured as if to signal us!! :love:

I guess their management had planned on a lot of people wanting to talk them and made sure they had a great dinner elsewhere.

That's awesome that they had a bite before...they sure didn't look jet lagged in the interview. Even I, who was coughing up hoogies, held it all in for that be. They were so freezing I bet.

During The Interview. It was "no pix when Yossi gets cold and bundles up!!" So here is the rest that I took, not great cuz I didn't wanna be flashing lightbulbs at they faces XD

The table we sat at was a typical boardroom table 10-11, I sat at the edge closest to Rika :heart: with lackey inbetween, and UFA President (I had no idea) in a couch to my right.

I found it funny the girls asked make up questions, while I asked sports XD

More Interview recap later until I can co-ordinate my notes with Terrie and USA Musume girls cuz I had no idea it would be so long (40 plus minutes) so intimiate. I had 1 question then was making shit up on the fly.

And the responses - no hesitation. The hamming it up for the camera you see behind the scenes? Shit comes like *snap* Spontaneity defined is IshiYoshi, fucking best 1-2 punch in the industry.

Here is some random pix of us lining up for the Q&A...SINCE 10 AM!! Ah well, at least we got in.

NEW ALBUM THIS FALL

Tentative most likely. BUT ALBUM THEY WORKING ON!! But new Photo BOOK!!! SEXY!!

The shirt and plushies are awesome too! I hope they'd sell them in the Hot Topic here XD

That reminds me, you know what is fucking bullshit?! u know i forgot my licensed shit to sign for the autograph session on Friday, I went to Hot Topic closest to my hotel (Roosvelt) and dude said "What's a HANGRY & ANGRY" not "we're sold out" lucky I lined up at the Retailers section at Sakura Con and squeezed in JUST In TiME for Priority signage! :D But yeah. MISADVERTISING :/

Here's us at the signing after they left. No problem in posting chairs right?

Totally smothered my face in the chair Rika sat in XD

 :pimp:  LMAO the phone call, that shit was linked? Too good XD I don't even remember who called who. I was so drunk off one glass of wine but yeah KT, our phone bills are gonna be thru da ass.

And lol even tho I bought a shitload, I only got 1 ticket? so couldn't get multiple autographs. ah well. I got this, it's all that matters:

And can't say this enough. A BIG BOW DOWN...all those who came out. Found me, cuz shit I had no idea what y'all looked like. I loved when differentstory12 and Ripusu were like "YAW!! JPHIP! H&A" and I was like "YAWW!!" slap, keep going but they totally chased me down XD and were like "Dude it's US!!" Kevin who heard the radio call and gave us mad props, again those Japanese Fans we met. Truly inspirational, Totally schooled us in the knowledge, we just bullshitted every nuance of H!P ...like FUCK Mae-chan, I love that chick. Laying smack on Ai-chan, "WTF is this monkeyface. Why???" cracked me up. And Ripusu was like "Aya-chan (one of the Yossi fangirls) u look like Maki" and Mae-chan was like "Ohhhh, u just said u ain't a Maki fan. That means u dun like Aya-chan" FUCKIN RICH. Just fucking full of life, energy, makes ya go "Shit son, I gotta brush up on the Hello! Project IQ and not just stare at Rika's ass!" MAD PROPS.

SPESHUL :heart: :heart: big ups to: Fen for translating letters, random shit I think up XD tru_harmony for those long, dark nights brainstorming even though I knew she wanted to come so badly from the Phillipines. Really glad we met up with wings4dreams, differentstory12 + friend, and Loona201 "I'll swear I'll post" Thai girl :P And of course, rev down with the clown straight from da underground.

We worked so hard building this site, putting up with the haters and the frontrunners. Even when shit looked rough, we kept it fucking positive and GOD ALL MIGHTY, we plant that JPHIP ASS LOGO FLAG on top of Mount ASS-MORE!! To have Rika and Yossi know we exist is - words cannot describe. As I walked through the autograph session after Q&A, Yossi's eyes lit up and I gave her that daigong seduction and Rika grinned like a cheshire Kat as she looked me in the eyes like the GOD she is. That's what I'm fucking talking about.

...but we ain't stopping. Best believe we gonna be that flag ship leaders for FANS UNITED under that one IshiYoshi/HANGRY & ANGRY cause that has brought us here today. Keep repping the music, and whatever releases come out. Keep discussing, keep ranting and hollering and jizzing. They work they asses off, the best showstoppers in ALL THE LAND!!

The blueprint has been laid out, the fire lit under the asses, LETS KEEP ON GOING!! Sweden LAND. I'm helping you out FO SHO. LA @ AX. WE GO HARD. Non-stop. Each will be individual weekends of EPICNESS.

Buono in Sweden: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=18656.0 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=18656.0)
MM @ LA/AX: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=18472.0 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=18472.0)

JPHIP GOT SWAGGA.

BUT FOR FUCK YEAH. Even if u ain't fan, try to pop a message of encouragement to each and every MM member. Fen's writing letters for all, I will do the same. Management was so laid back and cool, accepted lots and lots of gifts. I totally sign languaged "see my shirt, you get a shirt" XD

Honestly, there are times when I wish I coulda did more, gave em better gifts...but fuck, the best present is just to let em know there are shitloads of fans outside of Japan that respect and worship them. MISSION FUCKING ACCOMPLISHED.

To those who couldn't go, never fucking give up hope. I mean fuck, I was happy for Masa and ebc when they went to V-u-den, being the big tall white dudes in a sea of fans. TOGETHER...shit total count of all the peeps we met prolly totalled 25, but as u can see in the lineup, there were A LOT.

SO Keep buying their stuff and THEY WILL BE BACK who knows where? 2010? :P

WANT MORE JUICY DETAILS?!?! Tune into The Official ~IshiYoshi is Love~ Radioshow with tru_harmony this Thursday! Check local listings.

DUDE.

I just went through all the fucking posts since the start of the con and I have such a huge grin on my face from being able to re-live the weekend through them.

It was cool reading other people's accounts of the concert and other events; it filled some of the gaps in my memory.  I'm gonna have to add my reports and links to my pics from the weekend, too. 

Looking at the pics already posted here, I realized... FUCK.  Was I supposed to censor out our Japanese buddies?  Shit, I just posted my pics on Facebook.  Now I have to go delete some. XD  Mah bad.  I SHALL RETURN (!!!) WITH MORE SakuraCon stories and fangirliness from a Yossy fanatic's POV.

Again, it was so great meeting all of you in Seattle.  Daigong's the fucking MAN.

BTW
Can a sista get a name change, plz?  CrispySoupChef ==> Kimuuu  ;)  Thanks!

EDIT:
Who has the pic/vid of daigong and I chest bumping?  Do want.  LMAO!

Post by: Luinestel23 on April 15, 2009, 12:54:21 PM
EPIC. That is all I can really say.

Here is my review on Hangry Angry at Sakura Con.
FRIDAY:
Autographs

I waited in line after running around like a crazy woman to find "official merchandise" to get signed, and realized that I already had some. AT this point the line was longer than I had seen it, but I was willing to brave it out for Yossi and Rika. When I was in line, Yossi glanced up and saw me, her eyes got wide and she gave me a "WTF?" look. I am assuming it was because my wig was massive, blonde and curly at the time. When I arrived up there, I began gushing in Japanese about how I had always been a fan, thanks for coming to Seattle, ect. Their translator asked me if I was going to their concert and I said in Japanese. "Oh of course, I am going" Yossi smiled and said "Thank you!!" I melted.

When I got to Rika, she smiled brightly at me then gasped softly and said "KAWAII!" About my wig. (cute!) I felt so happy to get a special little compliment from each of them. After getting my posters signed, I headed off outside to immediately freak out internally. :)

SATURDAY:
Concert:
I waited in line with people who had red wrist bands to get early entrance to the concert, this is where I met the most AWESOME Hangry Angry fans ever. We all just ended up chatting about what we liked about Yossi and Rika, and shared some of our convention experiences we had had with them. At the concert My friend (Who caught Rika's blue fan) and I got front seats, (right in front of the huge-ass Japanese guy) I screamed my lungs out so much.. When Rika was tossing her blue glow necklaces, I reached out and screamed in Japanese "Please, over here!! Please!" She paused briefly and smiled at me, and then threw one right at me! AHH.. I thought I would die. Yossi made so much eye contact with me, it was just absolutely amazing. When they did their rock versions of the two hello project songs, I could hardly believe it. I waved my arms and did as much of the Peace dance as I could muster in a crowd of screaming fans and waving arms.. but it was so much fun. Seeing Yossi’s face as we all sang her happy birthday made the concert even better.

SUNDAY
Q and A
I met some neat people in line, including two girls with bright hair whom I helped out with writing birthday messages to Yossi. The whole waiting for two hours in line though, only to get screwed over and stuck more in the back of the room sucked a little, but I managed to get two decent pics of Rika and Yossi. I also asked them a question in Japanese about how they felt about America, as well as how concerts in Japan and America differed in their opinion. I left after the Q and A, thinking I wouldn’t get an autograph, and thought.. what the hell half an hour later and came back. I managed to get another pair of signatures from them, and spewed off more compliments in Japanese. Although I made an ass of myself in front of Rika.. I told her my friend had caught her blue fan in the concert, but I mixed up the hand held fan and mechanical fan. So it sounded like I said "My friend caught the oscillating fan you chucked into the crowd yesterday!" She paused and cocked her head to the side, saying "oscillating fan?" I blushed and she looked at me and said "OHH a hand fan!" I nodded and said sorry for making a mistake. She smiled sweetly and said “oh don’t worry, it’s ok!" Then I had to move on, but I still felt like a million bucks.

Closing Ceremonies:
I managed to get a video of the two girls talking to the audience.. Whooo.. Still reeling from it, but it was well worth all the effort, time waiting and pain in my feet after their concert.

Awesome reports everyone, it's been so much fun reading them all.

Sorry for linking to those clips.  I didn't make them, I was just passing on the info.  Anyway, if people saw them they'll know where to look, there's probably another one or something.


I've listened to SadisticDance so many times I finally worked out the line was, it's not life, bike, or wife, it's "this is my vibe".

Presumably it's what Rika said when Yossie found something in her suitcase! XD

Thanks for all your enthusiasm -- but we need to bring up something important:

The artists and management made it clear that they did not want unauthorized photos and video posted of them, so we need your help in making that clear to everyone.

Of course there will be photos and video in different parts of the internet, but please do not reproduce those photos and video here on this website. JapanFiles personally asked for JPH!P to be included in the media list, and we do not want Hangry&Angry's management to be unhappy with that choice.

We would like to include JPH!P in future promotional activities, and we need your cooperation in order to do that.

Thank you.

We at JPHiP.com appreciate the opportunity to even be considered in the same breath as such epic acts as HANGRY & ANGRY and look forward to working together at the Anime Expo in Los Angeles with Morning Musume this July.

It was an honor and a pleasure to speak to UFA Management one on one, and I could understand their side of things totally. I have already notified my fellow members.

There is always that fine line between a fan and the business, and we totally respect that.

Thanks again JapanFiles Dave!

DUDE.

LMAO Kimuuu, I had written it down to change it from Crispysoupchef, but couldn't read my own writing XD I think one of the Yossi Japanese fangirls took the pic lol

I dunno, Mae-chan (DAMN she is so cute) covered her face when I was gonna take her pic with ANGRY character XD

Luinestel23! WELCOME TO JPH!P!! Refresh my memory, did we meet?? I been spending the past few trying to figure all yer usernames to the faces. Post a photo of  yourself :P

I love each and every encounter y'all post. That Rika and Yossi had a unique reaction to EVERYONE. Not the same cookie cutter celebrity "Thanks for coming out" SHIT I wish I knew more japanese.  I'm so happy and proud of y'all. Fucking EPIC that 3 or 4 of peeps from our group got to ask a question at the Q&A. iceymoon, Ripusu, differentstory12. GREAT!

~Dan~ don't worry about it... :) I sure sang along "THIS IS MY LIFE!" :P The best part of the CONCERT THO. is the spontaneous chants of KISS ME!! KILL ME!! Fuck, I think I'm repeating myself but shit. IT sure is like a dream. I remember last week I was going to buy a digital camera, scrap book paper, and then start packing XD

DREAMS DO COME TRU!!

Never ever give up the faith!! CHUUUUUCH OF CHARMY /  HANGRY & ANGRY 4 LIFE!  :otomerika:

I was able to ask a question, too!  I asked if h&A would be doing a PB in a future.  I NEEDED to plant that seed in their heads.  Come on, how fucking HOT would a h&A/1444 photobook be?   :pimp:

FENRIIIIIIIR!  :w00t:  Aw, you and Commie are going to AX?  I'd love to see you and everyone else there!  That should be funnnnnnnnn!  Unfortunately, I wasn't planning on being there (grad school, work, lack of funds, yaddayaddayadda).   :-\  (Now if h&A decided to show up, that would be a different story.)  You two have fun with the other online folk and meeting the Musume!  Have Commie sing Aruiteru for me while you're waiting in line.   :D

I guess I can start posting excerpts from my epic SakuraCon report here... it's too damn long to post everything here.   :mon sweat:

This part is about the guest reception on Friday night, where we got to interact with the lovely ladies of h&A:

Eventually, we realized that people were already lining up to talk to Yossy and Rika, who were standing at a cocktail table at the back. Guess they weren't eating. So, we lined up. I brought with me my birthday gift for Yossy, a black guitar strap with purple skulls on it. I put it in a black wine bag; it was a perfect fit.  :D

When [ChocoMocha]Kei and I got to the table, I remember thinking, "Wow, this is it! One of the moments I've been dreaming about!" Yossy and Rika were on the other side of the (tiny) table, flanked by their interpreters; Rika was closer to me and Yossy was directly across from me. Again, an interpreter initiated the conversation and asked where I was from. I replied that I came from Washington DC, and the usual "ohhh"-type of response came from 1444. Then I added that they should come back and visit DC sometime, and that if they needed a tour guide, they should give me a call. :lol: The interpreter then asked if we were going to the concert and I just said the same thing I said earlier. [Which was h&A was the only reason for me coming to SakuraCon]

Um, I guess after that I said, "Since your birthday is coming up and I know you've been playing the guitar now, I got you this..." and presented Yossy with the guitar strap. She took it out and looked at it. She was surprised and was all "Kakkoii!" and thanked me for it. So if you ever see Yossy using a black guitar strap with purple skulls on it... you know who she got it from. :wink:

After we were done, Kei and I walked away from their table, but stayed close enough to still see and hear them. It was a little intimidating sometimes cuz they had bodyguards. What made it hilarious was that they were in costume, too! One was this big tall white guy in kind of a samurai outfit. He was looking to make sure no one was taking pictures or video of 1444. The other one was this smaller Asian dude... I think he was at the reception too... I just remember him being at the earlier autograph signing. I wasn't sure who he was dressed as, but he reminded me of a ninja... maybe even Naruto. XD

We waited nearby for Ripusu and differentstory12, who were after us in line. I just kept staring at Yossy. :wub: When they were done, they came over to us all giddy and shit. XD I started to talk to Ripusu, trying to play it cool cuz I knew Yossy could see me... at least, I could FEEL her looking at me. :ph43r: At one point, I looked back at Yossy and noticed that she wasn't talking to anyone and was just looking out into the crowd and into my general direction. Like a dork, I just started to wave at her and smiled. When I caught her attention, she just narrowed her eyes at me and s  l  o  w  l   y curled her lip up into this ... wolfish/flirty/sexy smile. Yes ladies and gents, I've been eyesexed and pimped by the Pimpwolf herself.  :on bleed:

Mmmm... just thinking about that makes me all :mon mischief:

And thus concludes my own personal highlight from that evening...

I don't know if you remember me from Hitomi Heaven but I certainly remember you and I know that's the most epic thing ever :lol:

One thing I'm very impressed with is that they were very cool with everybody in every encounter I've read about, including the chance meetings in hotels, restaurants, etc. Nobody has a bad word to say. Whenever I read up about various autograph events in the UK there's always a few people who got a cold look or an obviously automated response from the celebs. So either the fans all have blinkers on to their idols... or Yossi and Rika are perfect idolbots! :D
I suppose it helps that it was a totally mad experience for them travelling outside of Japan but mad props to them for being so cool with everybody!

Guy in the blue in the back row would be me. Daigong willed me to join this place, and so I have. For my first experience with fellow H!P fans, it was amazing. So much energy, so much enthusiasm. I already can't wait to see ya'll again in LA this July. :)

And Ops, you didn't have to deal with GigantorJap, I did. D: I swear I smelled him around me for many hours following the concert. My shoulder also remember his dropping elbow after he tried to jump.

Bryan! Thanks for dropping by here. It was a GREAT, memorable first experience...to be able to get all these H!P fans together like that. Hope we can do this again in LA with the bajillion other people going, that would be fun. Tell icey I said hi. :D

Whenever I read up about various autograph events in the UK there's always a few people who got a cold look or an obviously automated response from the celebs. So either the fans all have blinkers on to their idols... or Yossi and Rika are perfect idolbots! :D
I suppose it helps that it was a totally mad experience for them travelling outside of Japan but mad props to them for being so cool with everybody!
Of course I remember you!  You were one of the two guys who posted at Hitomi Heaven!  :lol:

Yeah, every time I saw them they were nice and genuinely were surprised/pleased when I spoke with them.  Since my Japanese is EXTREMELY limited, I couldn't converse at length with Yossy or Rika directly.  I noticed that their translators tended to initiate and move the conversation most of the time.  Anything Yossy or Rika said were just reactions to what I've said, so there were a lot of "Ohhs", "Kakkoiis", "Sugois" and "Arigatos". :sweat:

Did anyone here have Yossy and/or Rika say anything interesting to them during any of their encounters?

Guilty XD!!! I still stand by the age i stated! =P... and to top it off a certain someone else agrees with me on this lol.

But in your defense... you totally act like an adult... not a teenager ^_^

You and that "certain someone" are bullies. I swear. :| Just because I'm short, doesn't mean you tall people can pick on me. D:
Well, who knows, I could be lying about my age for all you know...they didn't card me for the drinks at dinner, BTW. ;)

WHOA!! Y'all know each other?? Small world ain't it. Just like OpsMonkey is the COUSIN of DJ Kwake, major urban promoter in my town so see him at concerts all the time handing out stickers, spinning tracks.

I was able to ask a question, too!  I asked if h&A would be doing a PB in a future.  I NEEDED to plant that seed in their heads.  Come on, how fucking HOT would a h&A/1444 photobook be?   :pimp:

I REMEMBER! but i couldn't see u :P I was the one who yelled ALO HELLO!!

And before I totally forget, differentstory12 mentioned it: WHO want our JPH!P H&A T-shirts? GIMME SIZES. I'm a order up another BATCH WOO HOO!! XD

Oh, and almond (via work) sez: "I would like one and will totally model if I get a free one XD"  (She'd get a small tee.)

Welcome to the forum Terrie! Truly an honor to have met such a hardcore H!P fan, going to all these concerts and events! On par with the Japanese fans when it comes to knowledge and experience. Seriously, teach me everything you know. :lol:

Hi Hi Terrie!  :w00t:
It was fun hanging out at Sakura Con! I also want to thank you for making that cute Yossie birthday card for all of us to sign.   :heart: A BIG thank you to you!


@daigong : LOL That was you?! I didnt know! Did you see Yossie and Rika's faces when you yelled that out? It was cute! XD I looked over at Yossie and when she heard you she laughed but her face was priceless! Then she looked at Rika and they looked at eachother for a second, paused and then laughed XD. I thought their reaction was really cute, so thanks for that!

As for the shirts, hmmm the ladies medium Hangry & Angry shirt fit me, even though it was a bit tight in some parts, it did fit me. So medium for me please. Unless they are really big then um small. Thanks!

Waterfront Grill:

Where Yossie and Rika ate.
I never got a clear shot of it XD
The food was delicious. Thank you so much daigong!  :heart:
By the way Im loving that picture with you're face on Rika's chair lol.


Hmmm looks like everything was pretty much covered here already.
Oh and yeah lol I remember us going crazy after we said Happy~Birthday when Yossie and Rika were leaving. After we said it, we all just huddled together like we just won the lottery or something and started jumping up and down  :lol:. It was such a good moment.


These are things I got signed, plus what I bought:

I gotta learn to buy everything at once. I was going to come back for another shirt for my sister(which she got so pissed when I came home without a shirt for herXD and I was going to buy the little Angry keychain) but I kept saying "Ill come back, Ill come back" and then they had sold out or didnt have the size I wanted anymore. So yeah, lesson learned there.


EDIT:
Oops I forgot to post my Day 3 Q&A experience XD.
(Sorry if its long)

DAY 3
Q&A


The Q&A was at 2pm and we were lined up early where we joined daigong and the rest. They were watching the Elder Club concert XD. So we were waiting and waiting and then someone said people were already inside the room(where the Q&A was taking place). We thought they would clear the room and and then let us in but that didnt happen =(. That was messed up that they didnt clear up the room since you clearly had people waiting early in order to get good seats. Anyways so we all rushed inside and the good seats were pretty much taken, but there were some empty spots. I sat second row by where the table Yossie and Rika where at, so it was good =D They had mentioned a photo opportunity but I didnt know that "photo opportunity" was that we could film them and take pictures when they FIRST come out. So I kinda missed it, only got like 3 seconds of them coming out and my camera failed on me again but other people taped the footage. OH!!!! Yossie was wearing the same pink hoodie sweater I saw her wearing at Tully's but obviously she had her hoodie downXD. I was so nervous to ask a question, but I had about 3 possible ones I might ask, but then similar questions kept getting asked so I couldnt ask them anymore. I didnt want to waste the opportunity to ask them something and for them to look at me again lol so I was sitting next to a Yossie fan(which Im pretty sure its gogirlanime) and I asked her for suggestions, and then she suggested one to me. Thank you by the way! I was a wreck lol. So I raised my hand and stood up and asked them. Basically what they like to hear from fans and what presents do they like receiving from fans but it came out completely different lol. I had my bag on top of me and when I stood up I almost dropped it and got nervous(this only happens to me hahaha) so the question didnt come out right lol but the translator interpreted it better. "What kind of comments and presents do you enjoy most" something to that effect and then sat down. Rika said the fact that the fans get to come to the concert and how they get to see the fans up close and personal and get to see your smiles is the best gift. Yossie said "Me too" in English and smiled(Yossie styleXD). Short but oh so cute :heart:

When Kimuuu asked the PB question, someone shouted "Alo hello"! (which now I know it was daigong lol)and I looked at Yossie and Rika and they looked at eachother and laughed lol. That was so cute!
Oh also when Yossie said "please!!" to her manager for a PB possibility. That was cute!

So it was time for the autographs. We lined up and then the rule was that you may get one item signed but if you had purchased merchandise at the convention they give you tickets were you can have more than one item signed.
I got my Hangry photo signed by Yossie and my Angry photo signed by Rika and then the CD signed by both of them and the poster signed by both of them. I told Yossie I was a big fan and the translator lady (who was super nice!!) translated for me and Yossie looked up at me and said "Wah thank you" in English c16.gif and then I asked the lady if it was alright to shake her hand and she told Yossie and Yossie nodded. We shook hands, omg I was so nervous this second time lol. Ahhhh the second handshake with Yossie was c16.gif She held my hand for so much longer then the first time and looked at me and smiled, and I said "thank you!", (I think I said happy birthday again, I dont remember) I smiled back and then I went to Rika. Rika is adorable. I think I was too Yossie'd right there that I forgot to shake her hand but I said "thank you!", smiled and said bye to her. By the way Rika is super sweet, after the con, I've become a bigger fan of her than I was before, even though she's always been one of my favorite members, my love for her grew so much. Ahhh all these 3 days I wanted to say Goodluck with Tokyo Alice(the play they both start in with Mako) but I kept forgetting to say it to them. I got caught up in the moment I guess.

So then we joined everyone and gathered around waiting for them till it was time to leave to wish Yossie a Happy Birthday. We all gathered around when they were coming down the stairs and they noticed us and looked our way and then we did said Happy~Birthday! and Yossie and Rika laughed and smiled.The "Happy" was Charmy style, and then we said "Birthday!" Yossie thumbs up style. They smiled!! =D Yossie<3!!! They said thank you in English, waved at us and then they left. Right when they left we all looked at eachother and cheeredXD Like we just won a football game, we all huddled and started jumping up and downXD. Daigong got the lady who was recording official footage to tape us saying our Happy Birthday thing, so we all went outside the autograph room and we did it. Then the video lady started coming up to us individually to say something to the camera. I have no clue what I said, I forgot c20.gif but I did say something lol. Then people started getting crazy again with the woooo's and ahhhh's!

The closing ceremony was at 4pm, so we all headed there right after it. We went to the closing ceremony and it was already filled so we just sat down where we could and waited for them to come out. They came out, we all cheered, they said their goodbyes. Oh and Yossie had taken out her pink sweater. I yelled out for the last time, and then they left.

We went to Waterfront Grill afterwards since Yossie and Rika had mentioned eating there, so we headed out in the cold and the rain and walked there and it was really nice. I had to put my signed Hangry&Angry poster in a plastic bag and then put it beneath my sweater. Looked like I was pregnant with an H&A baby lol. So it was kinda hard to walk with it since I was trying to protect it so much lol. But it made it! Kinda bendy to the sides but apart from that its ok. I gotta frame it or something. It was really nice meeting H!P fans there as well. It was really fun hanging out with people who share the same interests as you =D. Also the Japanese fans were a blast!

FENRIIIIIIIR!  :w00t:  Aw, you and Commie are going to AX?  I'd love to see you and everyone else there!  That should be funnnnnnnnn!  Unfortunately, I wasn't planning on being there (grad school, work, lack of funds, yaddayaddayadda).   :-\  (Now if h&A decided to show up, that would be a different story.)  You two have fun with the other online folk and meeting the Musume!  Have Commie sing Aruiteru for me while you're waiting in line.  

:o That's a bummer to hear you won't be able to make it out to AX. I'll be sure to pass the request along to her. XD We'll bring some new ComFen adventures in LA! XD

Ahh, such a short live clip at the end, and 1st May is such a long time to wait.

Hey, I just had a thought, since it's only a digital single I wouldn't expect the PV to be up to the standards of a real single, so maybe the PV will be the full version of the song from Sakura-Con.

Yeh, I was hoping for a longer clip of the concert and less of the mascots.  2 weeks til the next update.

They've also got a video clip up on their Oricon site (http://blog.oricon.co.jp/hangryandangry/archive/21/0).

I was about to post my part about the actual show, but looking back at my journal, it's SO out of order and shit.  XD

Instead I'll post the setlist (correct!) and some random tidbits from the show that I have yet to see be mentioned here:

-Long, dramatic h&A intro
-Yossy: "Hello Seattle!"
-Sadistic Dance
-Angelia
-1444 MC: Japanfiles & MySpace plug
-Me: "MARRY ME!!!"
-No Future
-GIZA GIZA
-1444 tossing out glow-in-the-dark necklaces
-Lady Madonna
-birthday surprise for Yossy/sing-along
-Kill Me Kiss Me
-Romantic ni Violence
-American anthem/1444 MC: "We love America!"
-THE*PEACE Rock Ver.
-LOVE & PEACE Rock Ver.
-crowd chanting for encore
-Kill Me Kiss Me

Concert tidbits in no particular order:
-Kei and I had these wristbands that let us in before most everyone else, so we were able to get some SWEEEEET spots at the concert. We were basically front and center! Our Japanese friends were first to get to the VERY front in the center, at the railing. We were right behind them.  :D The Japanese fans were hardcore. One guy had a lantern he made; he drew the hANGRY character on it... The girl right in front of me, Mika-chan, had her Gatas muffler draped over the railing. She would sometimes be crouching on the ground, while holding on to the bars of the barrier. It was like she was carving out her little niche in the crowd, as well as getting herself psyched for the show.

-Lady Madonna: The main choreography for this song involved waving the fans and stuff. It was kinda sexy. Yossy was really into it... reminded me of Flamenco dancers. At one point, Yossy was whipping the fan rather violently... to me, it was reminiscent of a dominatrix whipping the SHIT out of some lucky bastard.  She seemed really into it...  :ph43r:  it was hooootttttt.  :mon mischief:

-PARA PARA!  They did a little bit of para para during some song... not sure which one.  Anyway, it was a little surprising, but very cute. Yossy put a little rock spin on her dance by throwin' up devil horns.  :rockon:

-There was this thing that Yossy did. Not sure if it happened during Love & Peace... I'm more inclined to think that it happened sometime earlier in the concert, maybe during the second new song? Anyway, the girls were in the middle of the stage. Before they started to move, Yossy looked back at Rika and gave her this adorably sexy smile, THEN Rika followed Yossy over to stage left. 1444 moment forreal. Er, in my notes I said that Yossy looked at Rika before they moved to the OPPOSITE ends of the stage.  :wth Well, wherever they went... Yossy gave Rika A LOOK. And it was CUTE.  :grin:

-After they finished their set, we naturally started chanting for an encore. Not even 2 minutes later, they came back on stage and did KMKM AGAIN! Rika got to feel Yossy up again. This time, however, it seems like Yossy improvised, so after Rika felt up her leg, Yossy moved in closer to Rika, their bodies touching, then Yossy just wrapped her arm around Rika's neck. They continued to sing like that for a bit. It was hot at first cuz of Yossy moving SO CLOSE to Rika (I was thinking, "omg is she going to kiss her?!"), but then it was cute cuz after Yossy had her arm around Rika, they swayed a little as they sang. :wub:

-During Sadistic Dance: Yossy waved her hand with a flourish over Rika's head, letting her hand fall slowly, tracing the contour of her body (w/o actually touching Rika). She finally let her hand rest on Rika's hip. Nice.  Now that we know the lyrics to the song, it allll makes sense now. "Fondle your waist at my fingertips (it's)SLOWDANCE"

That's it for the concert.  :twothumbs

Ah!  So that's what it is! (maybe).  In the latest video posted on their myspace during the concert bits (the view friom the back, not the closeup bits) I could see something being held up in the air on a stick and I couldn't work out what it was.  I wonder if that's the lantern?

The lantern wasn't on a stick, he was just holding it by the front railing.  I noticed he got it signed by H&A too.  I'm not sure what that 'thing on a stick' is.  Maybe a video camera?  I don't think anyone's costume would have a prop like that, but who knows, it was an anime convention.   :?

Yeah watching again it's nearer the camera than I thought and moves quite fast giving the impression it's quite small (and I realise I've seen a pic of the lantern and that was bigger), probably something on someones head, so you're probably right that it's a moogle or a pikmin, whatever they are (pokemon I'm guessing?) :lol:

Hello everyone!
This is Terrie from San Francisco!

Great to meet you Terrie!! Total chance meeting her. She JUST missed the autograph session and we hit it off right away. We were like :bow: :bow: FC Member!! Can't wait till we do this all again in LA! You and Fenrir shall teach us Engrish and Japanese Lessons.

And before I totally forget, differentstory12 mentioned it: WHO want our JPH!P H&A T-shirts? GIMME SIZES. I'm a order up another BATCH WOO HOO!! XD

Oh hells yes.  I mean.... err..  Verily sir, I would like to... hells yes.

XXL... What?  I'm a overweight white dude

XD My homie tenkei is a husky boy like you and he rocks the LOGO proud.

YO, put me down for one large tee, please!

Oh, and almond (via work) sez: "I would like one and will totally model if I get a free one XD"  (She'd get a small tee.)

Sure, and YO I'm a hook y'all up for those who went :P so don't worry about payment. :halo: I had a few small ladies reserved for Ishiyoshi diehards tru_harmony, Yankii Heart, and zay who also brainstormed Yossi gifts with me. :heart: Gave Dinny, Terrie and Mae-chan my other Ladies Smalls, and they fit the shorties just fine. Now to test that size on shirenu ROFL

in case y'all were curious. this is what the back looked like, except it has both Rika and Yossi's name. Made it before they management told us "They like to be called Hangry & Angry!"

-- totally hand delivered these gifts to them.  :otomerika: :yossi: it is better than giving them flowers, or some sorta elaborate shit like this:

I had originally wanted to make a custom Oilers jersey for Rika but it ended up NOT being embroidered, like there should be red/blue border around the numbers. I just couldn't give crap  :banghead: to GOD RiKA!! In the end, TOTAL SATISFACTION. The best gift u can give is the love of the fans. And these shirts FUCKING SYMBOLIZE IT!! :pimp:

@daigong : LOL That was you?! I didnt know! Did you see Yossie and Rika's faces when you yelled that out? It was cute! XD I looked over at Yossie and when she heard you she laughed but her face was priceless! Then she looked at Rika and they looked at eachother for a second, paused and then laughed XD. I thought their reaction was really cute, so thanks for that!

OSHIT. WERD!! :wub: i was kinda not trying to STARE at em  :shocked they must've seen me hiding behind Aya-chan and Mika-chan the Yossi fangirls :lol:

I'm looking forward to this.   :w00t:

OKAI!  This next bit is about the chance encounter with Yossy and Rika! :inlove: This happened *hours* after the concert's end.  :shocked

Sunday, April 12... around 1:00 AM...


So, after walking Ripusu and differentstory12 back to their hotel room after dinner, I chatted with my g/f on the phone outside of my hotel entrance. When I went inside and headed towards the elevators, I noticed that Rika's translator/h&A general handler for the weekend was in the lobby along with a group of people. I thought it was kind of odd/intriguing that she was there, but since Yossy nor Rika were actually there, I just continued on my way to the elevator and went back to my room.

After a while, Kei and I went back down to the lobby to use the hotel business center. When we went into the lobby, I looked over to see if the translator and that group of ppl were still there. The area they occupied was empty, but I did notice some Japanese people a little further away sitting on the sofa. The sofa/chair thing was huge so you could barely notice people sitting in it. I knew someone was sitting in there cuz the people standing were talking to someone on the sofa. I also happened to see a girl's head poking out from behind the massive sofa. She had dark hair that was cut into a bob. I thought, " Wow, that really looks like Rika... I wonder if that's her." I stood still for a bit, trying to focus on her, but my vision sucks and they were too far away. Kei then was like, "Nah it can't be them..." so I turned around and headed in the opposite direction.

As we turned around and headed to the business center, we heard it... RIKA'S VOICE.  :shocked We flipped out and ran around the corner. We're like, holy shit IT IS RIKA!!!!!!!  We took a breather and decided to walk over PAST the sofa to the front desk so that we could see if Yossy was there, too. :ph43r:

We walked by and made our way to the concierge and asked her for a map of the area. As we fiddled with the map and pretended to look at it, we peeked around to see who was on the sofa... sure enough it was Rika AND Yossy.  :wigglypanda:

Rika was still talking to some Japanese people, and Yossy was just chillin' on the sofa, playing/texting on her white cellphone. Rika was wearing a dark coat and Yossy was wearing a long light blue coat thing. Her hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail; no pink streak. I was flipping out and wondering what the hell to do next. So we started to walk towards them... then we stopped. We were just several feet from them now. This was SOOOO awkward, cuz Kei was just standing there holding the map (later she told me she was listening to Rika and the other ppl's convo and trying to figure out what they were saying). Me, on the other hand, had NO map to hide behind... I just looked at Yossy. She either didn't notice me staring at her, cuz she was focused on her phone, or she was ignoring me. XD

I just looked at Yossy the whole time, cuz I was afraid to look at anyone else... I felt their entourage/translators burning their eyes into me... Finally, Kei started to move and walked over to Yossy. She slowly looked up from her phone and looked at both of us. Yossy seemed to be wearing very little make up... She still looked beautiful, but she did look tired. Kei congratulated her and Rika on a great concert. I quickly added some praise as well. Yossy nodded and smiled at us. (I dunno what Rika did... I only looked at Yossy.) And then we continued walking by and went over to the elevators.

WOOOOOMGAH.  :sweatdrop: THIRD MEETING SO FAR! THIS was why I wanted to book a room at the Grand Hyatt. Hahahahaaaaa. I knew they'd be staying there. Anyway, after we got back to our room, Kei and I speculated over where they were going at such a late hour. Hmmmmmm. Drinks? Dancing? LOL

Shortly after, and after 1444 left the lobby, Kei and I went over to the sofa they were lounging on and took pics.

You can see Yossy's (tiny) ass print here:

(No, I didn't pull a Daigong and bury my face in where Yossy sat.  XD)

I did, however, re-enact what Yossy was doing when we saw her:

Damn, I must have barely missed this. Me, Tony, and Terrie went to use the ATM in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt a little after 1AM. I don't recall seeing anyone though. Perhaps if we weren't so tired we could have dragged our asses our of the Roosevelt faster. XD

I was still up at 1am, I would have been there in a flash XD
I can just picture myself running out of my hotel in my PJ's while the bums attack me lol.
Thanks for the details Kim!!! Love the pictures lol.
I would have loved to see Rika too plus I can picture Yossie playing with her phone XD
Also Im really happy that you got to speak with her!! Staying at the Grand Hyatt paid off!!  :twothumbs

LOL That's the main reason I didn't plant my face into the sofa... There were other people there........ XD  But at least I sat in the same spot so I can say I had indirect ass-to-ass contact with Yossy.  :shakeit: :drool:

They probably thought "I'll be glad when the Sakura Con is over...(Sigh)" Even though we brought them alot of $$$
ikr? Kei and I plunked down mad $$$ for the Grand Hyatt, but in the end it was soooooooo worth it.  Besides being able to run into 1444 in our lobby, our room was SEXXXXXAY. 

OK, I'll post the last bit of my SakuraCon report.  This is what happened after the con was over and we were hanging out with the Japanese fans.  Good times.

Our group chatted a bit, took some pics, then some ppl had to go... Kei was amongst them. :cry: We said our goodbyes and Kei was off. Thank you Kei for bringing your Canadian beer and for waiting with me in line and calming me down whenever we met Yossy!!! LOL!!!

So the ppl left in our group were me, Ripusu, d12, Daigong, Za_Wolf, Rickker708 and some of the Japanese fans, Nao-kun (the one Japanese dude), Mae-chan (the only Japanese girl left who knew SOME English), Aya-chan and Mika-chan (the Yossy fans!).

We wanted to try to go somewhere for dinner. The Japanese fans mentioned wanting to eat at the Waterfront Grill, which from the Q&A, we learned that Yossy and Rika ate there. SOOOO we trekked out in the rain for blocks and blocks to find that very restaurant. While we walked, we all chatted with each other and whatnot. It certainly was a bonding experience.

I chatted a bit with Za_Wolf, and ATTEMPTED to chat with Nao-kun. d12 was somehow able to keep him occupied, despite both of their lack of knowledge of each other's languages. I do remember Nao-kun showing d12 and I pics from his cell phone. He had pics taken with Rika!!!! SO lucky. One of the pics he showed me was from a FC event with Rika in Hawaii. Ii na~ Ripusu was having a grand ol' time talking with Mae-chan, who knew Spanish! Nice!

When we finally got to the Waterfront Grill, I was impressed. It was a huge, fancy restaurant with an immense bar and a GREAT view of the water. We waited near the entrance to be seated. We continued talking about H!P and having fun in general. We were getting stares from the cooks... LOL We finally sat down and just... talked. Poe and Mae-chan did a great job keeping the conversation lively. We all talked about H!P, video games, and... well mostly H!P. Hehehe...

Some interesting/funny conversation points:

-Nao-kun and Mae-chan were Rika fans and Aya-chan and Mika-chan were Yossy fans. Every once in a while, throughout the walk to the restaurant and even at the restaurant, we would all get into a "RIKA IS AWESOME!", "NO, YOSSY IS AWESOME!!" type of argument. And every time, it would end in all of us agreeing that "ISHIYOSHI IS AWESOME!" XD So cute.

-Aya-chan, Mika-chan and I doing "DOSUN!"

-Mae-chan comparing Rika's oppai to Mikitty's oppai. ROFL She was basically saying that Miki was flat compared to Rika. HAH!

-Ripusu trying to tell the Japanese girls that I was her dad... and me trying to dismiss it. Then Mae-chan said I was more like a maestro? master? We were confused. So then Mae-chan tried to clarify, saying I was like Master Yoda. WTF! Hilarious.

-Chatting about our second fave H!P members... I heard ppl say Ayaya, Mako... dunno who else. We also talked about fave kids. Mae-chan liked Umechan and Maimi. Ripusu flipped out at that. LOL!

-Oh snap, this reminds me of Mae-chan totally burning Aichan. Ripusu brought up how Aichan as Mr. Moonlight is pretty hot (this prompted another YOSSY IS AWESOME objection from me, d12 and the Japanese fans). Then Mae-chan pondered why Aichan was so popular... cuz she looks like a monkey!! We all cracked the hellll up at that. She kept going on and on about it. HILARIOUS.

-DarkSayu discussion... basically, DarkSayu is awesome.

-At some point, I tried to remember Miki's wota chant, "Miki-sama, Miki-sama, oshioki kibonnu!" but I replaced Miki's name with Yossy's. XD Aya-chan and Mika-chan helped me remember the rest of the chant and so I said it and kinda did the dance. Aya-chan LOL'd that that. I guess I surprised her that I knew of wotagei. :miki:

Ahhh, I can't remember any more... but it was all good. I had to leave dinner early because I had to catch my flight home. So, I got some quick pics with my fellow Yossy fans from Japan (They're in Hitomi Club, so I told them about Hitomi Heaven :) ) and hugged everyone goodbye. LOL Nao-kun felt awkward when I came to hug him. I looked at him and he seemed unsure, but yet he still stood up to see me off. It was like...Do you want a hug? I don't care, I'm gonna hug you anyway... and I moved in and hugged him. LOL Weirdo. :heart:

As I rode away in my taxi, I felt sad... it really was a bittersweet ending to a great weekend. Got to meet Yossy a couple of times, enjoyed an awesome concert and shared all these experiences with new friends. Makes ya kinda warm and fuzzy inside. Not to sound sappy/cliché, but it's moments like these that make life so worthwhile.

WOOOO I couldn't book Grand Hyatt at the time, but alohellofan told me they opened up rooms later. FUCK! I knew they were gonna stay there. That's so fucking awesome y'all gotta see em candid and just being themselves.

I'm liking how "pulling a daigong" means putting face in idol's chair. Beats the old meaning, dumbass Masa knows what I'm talking about XD

EPIC Reports keep em coming, lol I'm sidetracked too. I got some hilarious ones for ya. Props to Terrie and USA Musume Kimi x Stephanie for sending pix.

I'm really glad the Waterfront staff wasn't a bunch of dicks even tho we didn't order a lot (didn't know a bunch didn't like seafood) but the center table. The VIEW!! No wonder IshiYoshi pigged out, I asked the waitress if they had seen Japanese celebs "Rika and Hitomi" but they had no clue XD

Mae-chan was sure a clown. Fun facts y'all. Her brother (?) worked for Square Enix on one of them Final Fantasy games! COOL!

It really sucked that Kimuuu had to leave so soon, squeezed the heck outta her :heart:

Tao-kun was his name? WOTA Guy. haha when we (after we escorted DS12, Ripusu, and Aya, Mika, Mae, the Japanese fangirls back to their hotels) escorted him to who knows what kinda motel. We saluted him, peace peace'd him, he showed us 80s anime FIGHTA video on his phone.  :rofl: Good guy!

DONT FORGET ... THE ROAD TO MM @ AX begins. Y'all post here and we'll get the Ringleaders together. Round 1, T-shirts is done!

LOL!  I didn't even notice you did that!  Sneaky Kei is sneaky. :ph43r:  Oh, speaking of groping... to anyone who had 1444 pass RIGHT by them at the guest reception... did the thought of reaching out just to touch them ever cross your mind?  Even if in a non-perverted way?  I kinda wanted to try to shake their hand as they were leaving.  :mon innocent:

Aw, another mascot video!  Soooo cuuuute.  I only wish I actually hugged one of them.

Yes, but barely.  XD  Kei and I saw the mascots crossing the street and making their way into the convention center.  So hilarious.  hANGRY had her arms out in front of her to make sure she didn't bump into anything.  Yet still when she got to the door, her ginormous head bumped into the door frame.  She comically threw her hands up to her head in "pain".

Oh and thanks.  Hee hee... I will constantly be on the lookout for my/her guitar strap.  Honestly, I will flip out if she actually uses it.  :inlove:

Huh, that IS an interesting tidbit... Two years?  That means this was in the works before the formation of h&A was officially announced, right?  :wth Well, anyway, glad that the CEO was impressed... can we expect h&A at next year's SakuraCon?  :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

Hold on hold on! That means...
It might take... another 2 or so more years until h&A to get good relations with Australia and come here?!

Woot!  Awesome ds12!  Good find with the info from the Sakura Con forums.

I was thinking the same thing as Kimuuu.  H&A were only announced as a group Oct 2008.  Maybe it means they were just building up the trust with UpFront for 2 years.  Who knows when they actually asked them to attend the con.  Which makes me wonder if they specifically asked for H&A or just any group to come over.  Now that the first concert was successful, you would think it'd be a bit easier the next time to invite another group.

@lilcazza: It depends on if some event organizer has already been in contact with them about the possibility.  Let's hope it's sooner than later.

Great idea Kimmuuu - that was a kickass idea. we ended up givin Yossi our t-shirts lol

That is fucking great news. an IshiYoshi group is a dream come true...fo sho Sakura Con has to bring em back! WERD the UFA Prez was a classy lady. Knew plenty of English so I talked to her at the Guest Reception (but had no idea until Terrie told me) after our little "fiasco"  :halo:

Yeah I thought the same thing too. I wonder who sakura con were trying to invite, and if they had a group or someone specifically in mind to invite from UpFront. Great that Upfront wants to work with Sakura Con again though. Bring H&A back please =D

Oh and wow dai you met the CEO too?! Nice! I wonder who she was, the guest reception was dark lol.
LOL Ripusu is probably hidingXD Haha Just kidding.

Ah I just read the article from JaME and saw the pics (Masa posted them at the H&A pic thread) and  :w00t: 

It's so cute how they have pictures of Yossie and Rika holding hands. Its cute!
Loved the pictures but this one was  :wub: I love how Yossie is looking at the camera:

I apparently met / past by this person on sat night and barely knew it.  I also met the folks from japanfiles on saturday night.  It was a very solid win for us.   We were not told they would be here until right up on the con and even then our dir of relations held it off until saturday night. 

Sadly winterblizzard will not tell me who shes working with now or if they're just leads or if they're in conversation.  She barely tipped her hat to me in 2009 by mentioning 'Two adults who may have been part of a group you liked... a lot.  They started a new group with just two of them... or maybe more.  /cough'   We're actually having elections in two weeks and I asked her if she could make any announcements yet.  She grinned and told me that she can only talk when the contract is ready...   :(

I'm so happy w/ the JaME pics.  I guess this is the big reason they only allowed specific photogs in the concert.



OH.  And I found out the gigs o' digital tape are almost done processing.  Should be given out to the bands and guests next week.  I asked if they were thinking of making a DVD out of it.  I guess it's up to the bands and they haven't told us what they're going to do.  I would go nuts if they made a concert DVD for their Sakura-Con performance...    :wub:

(and I might get to see the copies of the hd footage.   :shocked: But they probably won't let me keep them.)

If you guys are really happy with the way Sakura-Con turned out, please spread the word. Fans must support these artists with purchases -- digital, CD, or otherwise. We've all seen too many artists come to North America for a convention or tour, but it only happens one time. If fans work together it can pay off in a lot more activity.

The photos on JaME are by Derek Shaw, a professional photographer who's worked with JapanFiles many times. Derek's photos of the event were released by JapanFiles to all media via press release.

^ haha yeah funny. Those were EPIC photos. Big ups to Derek Shaw. but man, during the concert, there was a row of photographers and the security guy said "You get to shoot first two songs" and  the shorties in front were like "Aww, we can't see." and photographers were willing to oblige but yeah dunno what happened, they didn't stand after all. How nice. :D

And you betcha, we been pimping the great time we had at Sakura Con. And getting peeps to buy the real deal! Not off ebay! lol

You gave Yossy t-shirts?!?! T-shirts?? Whoaaa, thats cool!! I want a t-shirt!! xDD

And yeah! I'm believing!!!
They WILL come here dammit xD WILL!!!!!
I refuse to believe they're doing a worldwide tour and skipping the most... uh... unique continent!!

Gimme size! and I'm gonna order up a batch! Proof Positive thinking works, there cazza!

Oh and wow dai you met the CEO too?! Nice! I wonder who she was, the guest reception was dark lol.

WERD just like stark said. Barely noticed her. I approached this lady with a short bob, leather jacket at the guest reception and thought she was their handler/translator. "Are you with H&A?" and introduced myself :P Later Terrie would tell me she was UFA Prez Doh!

AND DUDE STARK. I too am wondering how much/how well we came out in that HD footage. You know those cameras leave nothing to the imagination XD

Interview: Hangry & Angry at Sakura Con 2009    

Hangry & Angry played one of their first international performances at Sakura Con on the weekend of April 10-12. During the convention, JrockRevolution.com had the opportunity to talk with the two about their world, their music, fashion and their fans.

JRR: For those people on JrockRevolution.com who don't know you, can you please introduce yourselves?
Hangry: I'm Hangry and it looks like I'm really punkish and boyish but I'm very sensitive, very naïve, and there's a conflict between my looks and inside.
Angry: I'm Angry. I'm very cute and very girlish, but I am very devilish inside, too.

JRR: Since coming to Earth, have you been able to do anything to help save us from global warming?
H&A: We're here to save the Earth by our music.

JRR: Do you like it here on Earth and is there anywhere in particular that you'd like to visit?
Hangry: Well, this is our first time to be in the United States but we definitely want to go to every single city in the world.

JRR: Did you enjoy the Myspace Japan 2nd anniversary celebration? How did you end up playing there?
Hangry: That concert was really the first gig as Hangry&Angry and we were really keen on how it would go. But it went so well and I was so excited. I was almost overwhelmed by the audience. It was really, really nice.

JRR: Playing internationally is a big step and how does it feel?
H&A: It was very stimulating and we've always [aspired] to perform internationally so it's a very exciting thing. Everything we see is so exciting, and then we have a lot of responsibility to be one of the band members to go overseas to perform. That's wonderful.

JRR: Was there anything you were nervous about coming overseas?
Hangry: I was very nervous about how we can communicate with the people—the language barrier—yeah, I was nervous about it. [laughs]

JRR: Did it seem to work out well, despite the language barrier?
Angry: We found that it's not the language, that when we wanted to talk or tell them something... yes, we can do the conversation. That's what we found out. That's a beautiful thing.
JRR: That's fantastic!

JRR: About your first release, Kill Me Kiss Me, is there a particular theme that you had in mind for the single?
Hangry: Kill Me Kiss Me, of course, is the first single from Hangry&Angry and definitely has a meaning to it - [as] a band message and a band mission to the fans. This is a very strong song to give [a] message from Hangry&Angry. [This song was] an opportunity to perform and then actually do it (as a live band), to express Hangry&Angry to the world.

JRR: What is your favorite track and what is the meaning behind that track?
Hangry: Before we [did] the performance, I loved GIZA GIZA, but after we [did] the performance I loved Romantic ni violence because of the cooperation with the fans.
Angry: My favorite song is Angelia, because that's the name of the girl, and then when I sing I put the passion into it. And how we sing it is that both of us have a different chorus to it and then the balance of those vocals is really great.

H&A-SC01JRR: Kind of on the same track, what is your favorite song to perform live?
Hangry: Kill Me Kiss Me.
Angry: Me, too.
H&A: Definitely Kill Me Kiss Me because the people know that song already and when we did the performance yesterday, as soon as the intro comes out, and then everyone says 'yes!'. They were really waiting for it. And also, when we say the chorus, like 'kill me' and the people say 'kill me', it's kind of back and forth that we communicate with the fans. That's really wonderful.

JRR: Yeah, it engages them. It was a lot of fun! How did it feel to have them want that encore?
H&A: Even before that, we were so appreciative that the people wanted to hear more for the encore. So that's the number one thing, that people give us an encore. So then we came out for the second time to sing that song…of course, the second time it's overwhelming that the people wanted to sing with us. That is really, really wonderful.

JRR: I don't know if you've been able to interact with them, but what do you think of your co-guests, girugamesh?
Hangry: Of course girugamesh and Hangry&Angry have a very different music style but still, like in the audience here, they were open to enjoy both of us. That is really wonderful, music is a universal thing and it's not only about genre, or boy or girl. It's a very important thing that people appreciate our music and style, the same [goes for] girugamesh.

JRR: Definitely! So, how did you end up working with h.NAOTO?
H&A: Of course, Hangry&Angry exists as the characters and h.NAOTO said "Hey, we'd like to do some kind of really interesting project, so let's do it together!" So that's how h.NAOTO approached us and that's how it happened.

JRR: Do you wear any of the Hangry&Angry clothes on a normal basis, in everyday life?
H&A: In normal life, we really like to be casual and h.NAOTO's fashion is very special for us, for everybody. To become Hangry&Angry, it's a very special character for us, so normally we wear more casual clothes.

JRR: Do you have fun dressing up as Hangry&Angry?
H&A: It's more like evolving, from normal life to become Hangry&Angry. Of course the fashion, the make-up, and the hair style…we are adding something, a little bit more to become our character. It's really a learning process, how to evolve to become the different character, to send the message. That's what's really fun.

JRR: Is it difficult to make that change?
H&A: It's so much fun! It's a little difficult, but it's so much fun to evolve into the different thing.

JRR: Are you in any way similar to your Hangry&Angry characters?
Angry: [giggles] I love to eat.

JRR: What do you like to eat, what's your favorite food?
Angry: [Contemplates answer]
[laughter]
Angry: …Meat.
[laughter]
Angry: Steak.

JRR: Ah, yes. [To Hangry] How about you?
Angry: [Helpfully] Tamago.
Hangry: Tamago!
Angry: Egg! Egg. [in English]
JRR: Egg is good!
Angry: Boiled egg! [in English]
[laughter]

JRR: So previously you've done more pop music, how does it feel to play something more rock?
Hangry: I never thought on genres of music before, so I never really realized that I did pop before. I never realized I'm doing 'rock' right now. So, the music is music and if it's good music, it doesn't matter what the genre is.

JRR: Is there anywhere in the United States that you would like to visit?
Hangry: Los Angeles.
Angry: New York.

JRR: Do you like big cities?
H&A: Los Angeles and New York are like the signature cities in the United States. You can tell us what a good city to go to is. We only really know the signature cites.
Angry: Laguna Beach, in Orange County. South of Los Angeles. I watched the Laguna Beach TV drama. I watched that TV drama and it looked so beautiful! I wanted to go there.

JRR: Yeah! There's also Florida. It's really nice and warm there. And Disney World is down in Florida.
H&A: We definitely want to see Disney World!

JRR: There's also Disneyland in California and they have their specific California park there.
Angry: Two Disneylands?
JRR: Disneyland and Disney World.
Angry: Ah!

JRR: Can either of you play any instruments? Are there any you would like to learn to play?
H&A: We both play guitar, just a little bit.
Angry: And the recorder.

JRR: Ah, yes! I remember in elementary school that was the first instrument we learned to play— the recorder.
H&A: It's the same in Japan!
JRR: Oh, really? That's interesting!

JRR: Would you ever like to be in a full band?
H&A: We definitely want to play with the band, as a band. Hangry plays guitar and Angry definitely wants to play bass.
Angry: I wish. I haven't studied it yet but I wish…Hangry on guitar and Angry on bass in the band looks really good.

JRR: Do you like any other artists? Do you have a favorite?
Angry: International or Japanese?
JRR: Either one!
Hangry: Morning Musume.

JRR: Is there anyone you look up to, musically or otherwise?
Hangry: Michael Jackson and Britney Spears. Musically. Not the gossip-way.
[laughter]
Hangry: The whole package! As an entertainer, I think those two are the best. Even the gossip, performance, recording, in a musical way. Yeah, that's a whole package!

JRR: Can you please describe each other—as people?
Hangry: Angry is definitely the character, but it's very related to her real personality. When she's very hungry, she gets angry. And when she doesn't get much sleep, she gets angry. But in real life, she is a very sweet girl.
Angry: [giggles]
JRR: That's understandable!
[laughter]
Angry: I'm a little childish and I'm a little older than Hangry, but she's very calm and she sees things very widely. And she's very girlish inside, very sweet. Very sweet [in English]. [giggles]

JRR: If you could perform anywhere, where would you go?
Hangry: Anywhere I can see the ocean.
Angry: I'd like to see the aurora! In Finland.
JRR: Ah! The Northern lights, in Finland?
Angry: Have you ever seen it?
JRR: [Sadly] No...but I think in Alaska, you might be able to see them, too.
Angry: [Thoughtfully] Alaska?

JRR: What are your plans for the future, individually or as Hangry&Angry?
H&A: As Hangry&Angry, our mission is to save the world by music. We haven't reached that yet so we'll continue to, as Hangry&Angry, reach the people. And definitely, we want to release an album in the fall.
Hangry: I want to continue doing music, both with Hangry&Angry and without.

JRR: When you were little, what were your dreams for the future?
Angry: A cake shop.
Hangry: I wished to be Cinderella in Disneyland. That's what I wanted to be when I was little.

JRR: What was your first impression of each other?
Hangry: She has a very high-toned voiced.
[laughter]
Angry: She was very tall—she's still tall. It was kind of a little scary. Also, she's very cool.
JRR: Was it intimidating?
Angry: Maybe just a little intimidating!
[laughter]

JRR: What do you like to do in your spare time?
H&A: Just listen to music, that's the most fun. Just listening to all kinds of music.
JRR: Definitely.
Angry: Eat. [giggles]
JRR: Ah, yes! Eating is good.

JRR: What's something you've always wanted to do but haven't gotten the chance to yet?
H&A: Driving.
Angry: Getting a driver's license.
Hangry: Surfing.
JRR: Oh! That's sounds scary…
Angry: Me, too! [giggles]
JRR: [laughs] Well, thank you very much! We're very glad to have you here.
H&A: Thank you very much!

Another group?  That would be cool if there was another group that interviewed h&A, so that maybe we can read about new stuff.  It seems like the interviews so far, which are all from the session you attended, daigong, are similar because they've simply transcribed the entire session and not just their own questions.  AT least... one of those interviews did... I distinctly remember one of them including a cake/pie question. :ph43r:

^CAKE WON!!!!

rika gave a definite CAKEY!
yossui had to think about it a bit XD

so... according to IshiYoshi, cheesecake is definitely CAKE!
hence, we may conclude that cheesecake=cake is true contrary to cheesecake=pie which is one big lie

and i'm saying this cuz one person here hasn't posted his report which he promised he would post the past weekend *cough* and the weekend before that, and the weekend before that~ XD

Quote from: Wikipedia
Despite their name, cheesecakes are technically tarts, that is, open-topped pies; the word 'cake' was formerly applied to a much broader category of foods than it is today.

but of course, as IshiYoshi themselves have confirmed it, cheeseCAKE is CAKE

no contest

WAAAAAAAAAAAAH me too?? OSNAP...lol I'm kinda geeked to see these. I haven't watched them. Trying to relive the moments in my mind....Wait....I just wanna take this moment ... to dedicate post number...

20,000 ...to the event Hangry & Angry Concert in Seattle JPH!P WORLD TOUR 2K9.  :otomerika: :yossi:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/data/jphip2525.jpg)

To all the people that took part, directly and indirectly. Can't name them all, but y'all know who you are. Those who helped out planning, those who cheered us on, those we met up in Seattle, those behind the scenes. daigong salutes you all. But I would especially give props to my partners in crime from the start - tama-chan - my BFF, whom without her geeky Rika tidbits made this place legit and Masa - my best homie who convinced me not to make this just a porn site and an actual contender. We come a long way.  :pimp:

Like I said in my drunken call, this is just the beginning. JPHiP knows no boundaries. When we started out, we decided right away not to be "just another jpop site" - we mixed it up, added porn, actual threads for H!P members, and most importantly - KEPT IT POSITIVE like our name was Rika Ishikawa. We do shit our way, and even if it ain't accepted, we stayed true to self. Be shapeless, be formless.

Thus daigong finally brings to you...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v23/daigong/daigongtru.jpg)

This tale is not just one man or one group conquering the world. This is the entire fucking Hello! Project fans WORLD WIDE reppin it with JPH!P leading the charge. For those who did not make it, we need each and everyone of your support. To give that HUGE FUCKING MESSAGE that H!P Fans Around the WORLD deserve a World Tour Stop. Stop feeling sorry for yourself you fucking whiners. Keep banging out those letters instead of crying in your soup. The POWER of the PEOPLES is gonna make UFA and Tsunku take notice.

The time will come when every market has been exploited by H!P BUTT we need to make THIS Premiere Event HUGE AS FUCK. And we need everyone's input!! IT can happen! H&A in Seattle is proof positive. Continue on towards Los Angeles at ANiME EXPO 2009 this July 2-5!!

Follow MY Steps, It's the road to success. Where the peoples think u thoro.
And the girls say yes. But I can't teach u my swag. U can pay for school. But u can't buy class

It's about not breaking, when you're broken. So many times we have been left for dead, stabbed in the back, hated on, "misunderstood" - time and time again... we just prove that we rise above the negative, reach for the positive and look

But this is just the beginning HiPstaz. We ain't finished. With every JPH!P WORLD TOUR. You have a chance to Become Legendary.

I went back and read the thread/comments and realized I missed a lot of the details that made this trip so fucking epic. You'll see installments here in this thread and on http://jphip.com frontpage...and I intend to finish the events off in between the NBA Finals. So much craziness.

hANGRY & ANGRY in Seattle
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v23/daigong/jphiptrustories.jpg)

IT WAS ALL A DREAM!! I USED TO READ WERD UP MAGAZINE!!

To pump up peeps for Anime Expo in Los Angeles, to bring NATIONAL PRIDE to HiPSTAZ WORLD WIDE. No Ghostwriters involved. I'll post them in segments:

PART 1 : Intro + Autograph Session (Posted! 2009/06/07 (http://))
PART 2 : Interview & Guest Reception
PART 3 : Concert
PART 4 : Q&A + Outro.

LET'S GO! JPHIP! :jphip:

Day 0 | Thursday (2009.04.09)

Intro: Pre-Con / Landing

Landed in Seattle, early morning/afternoon. Shit was drizzly. Got in at the fucking Roosvelt, nice joint.  Planned to meet up with rev2hd aka Dinny to pick up our badges so had a little time to kill. Txt'd a few homies (tama asked if it was raining :heart:) and began work on updating the site / announcing the interview cuz that was what I promised Japanfiles Dave and I had spent the previous night packing lol. Procrastination sucks!

After wank 'n shower, I stepped out to grab some foods from Wal-Greens cuz I forgot to pack my gel then Dinny calls me and goes "Where u at? I'm in the lobby." so I rush back to the hotel and see this tanned lady in the lobby and she was "You daigong?" and I was like "...Dinny? rev2hd??" did NOT look like the facebook pic then ZIP opens the elevator and pops out Dinny! OH. It was actually Linna2040, a lurker who had specifically met up with rev for the Sakura Con and had drove her from the airport. NICE! So instead of the two people, there were three!

(http://img259.imagevenue.com/loc128/th_54549_DSC00021_122_128lo.JPG) (http://img259.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=54549_DSC00021_122_128lo.JPG)

The line was ridiculously huge, almost half an auditorium full. We sat there and actually "breezed" through within the hour. I then went to pick up my press pass and asked the people there where stark was and told him I said hi. Starving, we rolled on out...suddenly this huge breasted girl peered over us DAMN!! and was like looking at us while were tourist-mode looking at our map. "Theys looking for ya!" I turned around and shit, it was the man stark. We bullshitted and they suggested Dragon Fish, Asian Fusion. Not bad, ordered a ton of rolls n noodles. Dinny has the appetite of ten big men!!

Stopped by an Asian grocer to stock up for snax for the next day. Lotsa line ups anticipated, it was nicely situated next to Safeco and Qwest Field. That was about as close as I got to the House that Ken Griffey Jr. Built. And knowing I forgot my H&A goods, we went to find a Hot TOpic but the malls were already closed soo..

Back at the hotel, me and Dinny got to work on the scrap book. All I did was bring a photo printer and a random idea in my head - "To illustrate the events of JPH!P involving IshiYoshi, HANGRY & ANGRY, etc." Shooting ideas back and forth, we inserted the three messages that were submitted and ended up just making a who's who of HiPsters along with gorgeous pix of Rika and Yossi. The paper was also larger than the 8 x 8 inch book so Dinny had to cut it all fancy. We worked so fucking hard till 3 nearly 4 am that Dinny began to nosebleed. That's right, WE BLEED FOR JPH!P

That was a wrap. The scrap book looked fabulous. The next day would be EPIC.

Day 1 | Friday (2009.04.10)

The Autograph Session #1

The plans for the day was go to autograph session, group interview session, then finally guest reception.

Woke up and ran to Hot Topic cuz fuck me, I forgot my official Rika merchandise. (Dinny had brought her H&A lunch box plus a Gatas jersey that was so fucking rare!!) Apparently, they don't sell them at that particular store (just around the monorail) cuz the dude there had no idea who Hangry & Angry was. I had to take my luck at the Dealer's Room. The shit was autograph session started at 12:30pm and Dealer's Room opened at 12pm. So me and Dinny laid back and prepared our gifts to IshiYoshi: The custom T-shirts with their name individually written plus a birthday card for Yossi, that came with sound and you could record a message lol. It was not what we had planned, but they were handmade gifts from the heart and we were confident they'd appreciate it.

We met up with Linna2040 again and headed to the hall to scope the action. Linna2040 read on the sign that there was some sorta lottery system and were like WTF!! We ran into stark who said "Ya missed H&A at the opening ceremonies!!" D'OH!! He told us they just flew in, possibly jetlagged, and that the Japan government dude was hilarious. We did an impromptu interview with stark and peace'd out. Noon was creeping on up so I went up the dealers room and FUCK!! The line was about as crazy as the registration line. I bit the bullet and waited, luckily when the doors opened it swiftly piled us in. I ran and asked where the Japanfiles section was but there was none, instead there was a table selling just Hangry & Angry and Girugamesh stuff. Apparently you get 1 ticket for front of the line autographs cuz you were buying "official merchandise" so I slammed down for three CDs and ran back with 5 minutes to spare!

There I met up with a bunch more H!P fans: iceymoon and Bryan, alohellofan, Rickker708, OpsMonkey, and a couple (I forget their names but they were iceymoon's friends). The representation of H&A fans was fucking great, we were (kinda lol) worried that no one would show up. The more the merrier right! They finally let us into the giant hall and we filed in. There stood in the back this long table with "Sakura-Con" logo and "Autograph Session" ... it was just fucking surreal, that in mere moments IshiYoshi 14:44 would appear. Me and the others (alohellofan, Ricker, dinny, Liina) chatted then BAM! In they came, could not see them but we screamed. There was this nervous hush as we filed along "Y'all who have tickets line up here!" - line was moving fast. Me and Dinny shuffled along. When we finally got up, Dinny had her lunchbox signed, each person they would make comments about the item. Like for the lunchbox, they'd go "You got in Japan?" or something. Everyone piled their gifts, bags and bags. I gave the handlers our T-shirts and scrapbook.

First pic: back- Rickker708, alohellofan, daigong, chick, chicks hubby, OpsMonkey
FRONT: dude from JPM!? iceymoon (with the book) from JPM, and rev2hd


And proceeded to meet face to face, first Yossi. I said "daigong dess" or whatever. Rika observed my freebie poster and pointed to the energy drink "Rockstar" lol First time, up I gotta fess up. I was a nervous wreck. GOD stood before me, but GOD as I met Rika Ishikawa face to face, Her eyes, hidden in the eyeliner. Her smile with the largest teeth ever, each one perfect. I showed em the T-shirt, I asked Rika to sign "To: jphip.com" and she stared right into my heart blazed with the JPHiP logo and carefully printed it out "j...p...h...i...p..." she gave me a giant grin and all I could go was...THANK YOU" I said. THANK YOU.

(http://img144.imagevenue.com/loc476/th_59744_DSC00108_122_476lo.jpg) (http://img144.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=59744_DSC00108_122_476lo.jpg)

I stumbled to the side where rev, iceymoon, and the others were and just fucking hugged them all. Collapsing to the ground, I had made my mark. The journey of meeting THE FOUNDATION had been reached. Few things made me weak to my knees, I just lay on the ground soaking it all in. Then I saw dinny & alohellofan re-enter the line, they were going back. Bryan was like "Nah, I can't go in...like (resepect idols blabla)"... I thought of that at first but I came here to get shit signed for my homies too, so I got back a second time - For my homie Masa!

The sad thing...or probably coincidentally - the crowd was not as big as the auditorium, and most likely because it was a Friday and peoples were still in school (like DifferentStory12).

As we were in the line again, dinny was like "Dude gotta get this GATAS jersey signed" and we met wings4dreams. A real nice girl, taller than me lol. I looked into my bag and SHIT through my first bout of FREAK OUT I forgot to give Yossi the birthday card. It was one of those "Record Your Message" Hallmark shit, with "I'm So Excited!" as the music. As I dug deeper, I FUCKING REALIZED I GAVE THEM THE WRONG FUCKING T-SHIRTS. The ones we made for them each had their own names on the back, rather than the IshiYoshi that we wore. Plus these were small ladies (I assumed I'd meet up with ds12, etc) and the ones we made were ladies medium. HOLY FUCKIN SHIT!!! LIKE IT WAS SOME FUCKING GODDAMN SIGN!! OH RIKA <3

This time around, I told the handlers straight up "Gave em the wrong shirts" and got them back. Then I got Yossi to sign "To Masa" and then I took the birthday card and I tried to record it in front of her and it didn't really work LMAO PLUS Yossi didn't really get it XD she just said "Oh thank you!!"

Then The PIMP tookover. "Yossi, present for you" I showed her the H&A JPHiP shirt I wore, then gave Yossi the H&A T with her name on the back, and they were like WOW!! All the while, Rika looked on feeling left out but was like WOWing at the side XD And without missing a beat, I was like "Rika, for you!" and showed her OWN personalized JPHiP Rika T-shirt!!! They were like WOW Thank You kinda deal and I was like "See you at the press conference / interview" and "Blblblblblbl" and "Thank you, thank you" winked at Rika and totally walked backwards until I collapsed back to the group. HAHAHAHA! SUCCESS!! I knew ZERO japanese so sign language. I didn't give a fuck about holding up the line. I didn't even think "C'mon, this is my one shot!" - It was the natural SWAGGA that presented the GOODZ and DELIVERED!! Making shit up as I went along!

Shit - after all that, I had only touched Yossi's finger tips accidentally when giving her the poster to sign.

WE just collapsed in a heap and soaked it in again and again. Everyone was satisfied, just surrealness took over. H&A had to leave early for the press conference so we had time to spare...then iceymoon suggested we go the seats that they were in. GOOD IDEA!! And I proceeded to put my face in the seat where Rika sat!! SNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFF!!

(http://img111.imagevenue.com/loc1037/th_85958_DSC00077_122_1037lo.JPG) (http://img111.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=85958_DSC00077_122_1037lo.JPG)(http://img233.imagevenue.com/loc450/th_85968_DSC00080_122_450lo.JPG) (http://img233.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=85968_DSC00080_122_450lo.JPG)(http://img269.imagevenue.com/loc6/th_85969_DSC00086_122_6lo.JPG) (http://img269.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=85969_DSC00086_122_6lo.JPG)

LOL plastic just ain't the same as the real ASS. We then took pix, Greg aka OpsMonkey humped the chair, Dinny spread her cheeks across both seats. Then this short haired Chinese girl came up and asked "Doh! Did I miss the autograph session!" It was Terrie, from Hello! Project Taiwan and she just got in. Explained she was the ultimate fangirl with FC shit, and we was like BOW DOWN! Time to part, we took a video shot of us doing the hand on top of hand "TEAMWORK!!" kinda rally chant and then...parted ways cuz I had to go to...whatcha all been waiting for...THE INTERVIEW!!

Can't. Get. Enough. Of.

I'm glad you were able to get back in line a second time.  Kei and I tried to go back for another round, but by that time, 1444 had to leave.  Never thought to take pics with their chairs!!!  :inlove: :banghead: :grin:

Loved your review dai!
Seriously, everytime I think back to H&A in Seattle I cant help but to smile and have this huge grin on my face.
Thanks for your review, too bad I wasnt able to make it in time for the first autographs. I would have loved to be there but I felt like I was there with your review <3

Same hereXD. I forgot my H&A CD and I was going to bring some Yossie & Rika merch just in case they did allow for them to sign but I forgot them at home XD


Hmmm I think the first time I saw you was at the concert line. I saw you wearing a JPH!P shirt so I thought maybe that was you since I hadnt seen a picture of you before. But I wasnt sure until we asked you after the concert was over XD.


Cant wait for the rest of your review!  :otomerika:  :yossi:

Yo, Dai, great recap!

Guess that means I have to make public my version of events.  As I mentioned elsewhere, this wasn't written as a traditional con recap.  But you all have been warned if you really want to go forward.  ;)

The full set of installments will be at my Livejournal page:
<http://pkristen.livejournal.com/tag/hangry+%26+angry (http://pkristen.livejournal.com/tag/hangry+%26+angry)>

I'll spare the intro pieces since that's really about introducing IY/H&A/H!P and my experiences with them, and pick up with part 5 which is my version of the autograph session -- hopefully this will be a clean copy and paste from Livejournal:

When I left for my trip, I was aware of four events that would be H&A related:  an autograph session at noon on Friday (opening day of the Con), the guest reception that night, and the concert on Saturday, and a Q&A panel on Sunday.

From over twenty years of attending various fan conventions, I learned the hard lesson that you must ALWAYS pick up your badges during pre-reg time if that is possible.  For you uninitiated: “pre-reg” is usually that window of time the day before the official start dates of the event.  It’s usually limited to people who register for the entire event rather just wanting to attend a single day or two.  This way, you don’t end up in obnoxiously long lines where you’re not only waiting with other fully registered attendees but also single-day attendees. 

A bad example of this was the year I went to Anime Expo for a single day registration.  I spent 5 hours in that line just to pick up my badge.  I spent more time in the line than in the con.

With the H&A autograph session being scheduled as one of the first Con events on opening day, the pre-reg pick up rule was a must.  (A good thing too because I heard afterwards that there was a horribly long wait that day for badge pick-ups and why a lot of people missed out on the session.)

Now, I’m not into autographs in general.  In fact, I don’t like them because the autographs are usually done over artwork or pictures that I would much prefer to look at instead.  But, I do know the power of showing support by participating in an activity for people who hold such events.  And for me, my primary goal was to give as much participatory support for H&A as possible.

That being said, I had read on the message boards that autographs for H&A was limited to “official” merchandise only.  Well, of all of the authentic merchandise that I own of IshiYoshi, if I wanted them to sign something, it wouldn’t be H&A material.  (Don’t get me wrong, I love the music but the goth fashion part is just not my thing.  I think they should ditch the goth look and just perform in their personally preferred jeans, t-shirts and leather and just focus on the music and performing!)

I have a mini IshiYoshi/Morning Musume picture “shrine” in my work cubicle (a source of amusing co-worker anecdotes, I assure you.)  One of my prize displays is a set of large solo pics of Rika and Yossie from their Ongaku Gatas tour last November, where they’re wearing the black and red plaid outfits.  These are “official” items (i.e., not bootleg or homemade), but not Hangry & Angry related unfortunately.  I decided to bring these pictures with me, just in case. 

And I planned to bring my H&A U.S. version of the CD as a fallback option.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t until I was in Eugene when I realized that I had forgotten it.  Oops.

The Thursday night before, I hooked up with “Rev2HD” (poster from JPH!P, whom I’ll refer to as “Little D” going forward based on her real name), and “Daigong” (“Big D” I guess), one of the main dudes from that same message board.  We picked up our badges in 45 minutes, went out to eat and had very interesting conversations.  Since the priority for the three of us was H&A activities, the strategy for the autograph session was to meet as early as possible – which would be about 11 am to line up. 

Big D realized that he forgot to bring his merchandise for signing as well.  Unfortunately, the exhibitor’s hall, which would most likely have a booth for Japanfiles to sell H&A material would open at Noon…  The autograph session begins at noon.  (Major drama was felt about this.)

So while the three of us were trying to figure out the layout for lining up for autographs outside of the designated convention hall, and how to meet the “official” merchandise requirement, I had noticed that there was an official con sign board on display that listed out the rules for the autograph session.  The biggest rule that caught our eye was that a “raffle” process would be used for signing.

This raffle process was described as tickets being given out to people who stood in line, with limited numbers to be called.  So the very possible end result is that the process meant that even if you lined up first, you were NOT guaranteed to get an autograph.  A late person could arrive, get a winning ticket, and get their autograph signed instead of you.  Needless to say, we were not pleased about that – it’s one thing to be “fair”, it’s another thing to screw the people who made the extra effort to do things like show up early just to line up early.

When the three of us then ran into “Stark”, the Convention Chair, whom Big D had previous conversations with.  In chatting with him (entertaining guy, btw), we found that Rika and Yossie had already arrived a couple of days earlier.  Plus, both of them, especially Rika, were suffering from horrible jetlag and time-difference adjustments.  As he described it, the two of them were doing autograph signings for convention staffers the night before and looked like they had been signing for four hours even though it had only been twenty minutes.  It was interesting tidbit that turned out to be very important later on.  And Stark mentioned the con program book qualified as “official” merchandise – if we were truly desperate. 

The raffle discussion also didn’t make the three of us feel happy about the situation if we’re limited to one autograph a piece (meaning, we can’t give a person with a winning raffle ticket our items to sign instead.)  He explained that the rule was established so keep guests from signing autographs forever.  My personal thought about that is just announce ‘The line ends here!’  (It’s what they do at other, bigger conventions I’ve attended.) Ah well…  But he did say that there's an unofficial policy that you can ask for autographs at the reception that night if things didn't work out during the official session.

So Stark left, and we were back to dealing with just getting into the line (we were like within the first 10 people) and figuring out the “official” merchandise issue.  Big D went down to the Exhibit Hall line (because it hadn’t opened yet) while Little D and I held our places in line even if it turned out to be futile.

This was the point when it started to become clear that the hard-core Hello! Project message boards people were all at the beginning of the line (big surprise.)  So introductions were made with putting faces to online names, and fan chat and picture-taking went on.  And as word about the pending raffle went around, we decided to make the most of our waiting time even if it ultimately meant no autograph as a result.

Luckily, it seemed that the Exhibit Hall opened early that Big D was able to grab some CDs and posters for us to sign.  And because he bought so much merchandise, he was also given “priority” tickets for autograph signing.  How that was going to work with the raffle, we had no idea.  (Another ticket process to keep track of.)

So now I owned a third H&A CD (including the U.S. and Japan release versions I had at home.)  Still, it would be worth it if I could have them sign it, more to show that their CD/music was selling.  But me being the kind of person who likes to do things a little ‘differently’, I decided I wanted them to sign the picture inside the insert of them pulling each other’s hair (wigs).  A lot more fun and well… IshiYoshi.

Now, as the time for the autograph session grew nearer, it was clear that the line for them was NOT that long, which I thought was disappointing in terms of showing H&A support.  That turned out to be fortunate because the raffle process was never used.  YEA!!! One obstacle down!

So as we walked into the hall, we all noticed that an official merchandise table was setup to the side.  My eyes immediately zoomed in on the official H&A photo sets that they offered, which Big D did not pick up.  With the idea of adding to my IshiYoshi picture shrine at work, these were a must buy.  It also meant that I got my priority ticket for signing.

The final autograph line up process was interesting in that the “priority” line was obviously shorter than the regular sign up line, but not really by that much.  It quickly became clear that we could line up more than once if the attendance was this minimal, which meant at least two autographs a piece!

So I got in the priority line and had them sign my CD insert picture.  Since I don’t speak Japanese whatsoever (I understand more than I can speak due to almost a decade of watching Japanese videos), all I did was smile and nodded at them.  Yossie did hers first, gave eye contact and said a ‘thank you’ before focusing on the next person.  Rika signed but I didn’t get eye contact with her but I kind of noticed that she didn’t seem like she was that energetic or in the rhythm of signing items.  Maybe I just got her in a low moment.

Now, with all of my bravado about being so jaded and only attending to show fan support, I was emotionally disappointed at such a brief encounter.  Of course, I got into line the second time since I wanted them to sign one of the H&A photos I had just bought.  But my disappointment burned in the back of my mind if I was going to be set up for a second “processing yet another fan” moment.

That’s when I started to pay attention to what other people had brought to have signed.  It was clear that not all of it were H&A material – especially for the others who had gone into the line more than once.  And a couple were even homemade items.

So as I moved towards the front of the line for the second time, that’s when I decided to be ‘selfish’ in that if I spent the time, effort and money to come to this event, I was going to get the one thing that I wanted out of it:  my Ongaku Gatas promo photos signed!  I was literally the person behind Yossie’s current focus when I made my final decision and hastily switched out the H&A photos for the OG photos.

I don’t know if the two of them remembered me – not expecting them to after all, but the experience was MUCH better this time around.  When Yossie saw the picture that I wanted her to sign, she gave a cry of pleased surprise (you Yossie wotas know what I’m talking about.)  Rika looked at her OG picture and declared “Saikou!”  We definitely had eye contact and exchanged a smile that time.  J

I left the line thinking the weekend could not get any better!

Since I wasn’t primarily focused on attending Sakura Con outside of H&A events, it was a case of “Now what?”  The reception was that evening, which was quite a few hours away.

That’s when I noticed that the fan clique had grown to about six or seven, who was hanging off to the side of the autograph area.  So we all waited, chatted, and watching other people getting their signatures.

And then we noticed that even though the signing was supposed to last until 2 p.m., the H&A team actually packed up early, about 1:30 p.m. or so.

With them now gone, and us still hanging out in the autograph signing area, this led to the other fans participating in photo ops with THE chairs IY sat in – including a moment of comical confusion trying to figure out which chairs they were. 

And no, I didn’t participate.  There’s fan support and then there’s FAN support.  It was also then I was started to make it public my ‘old fart’ nature as my excuse for not participating in certain things, or to leave early when my social energy level was gone.

Even though the H&A autograph session ended at a time that there didn’t seem to be any ‘unattended’ fans, unfortunately it did turn out to have some people arrive after that who had literally just got out of the registration line, including a hard-core Asian female fan who came to Sakura Con just for them.  Her disappointment being obvious, it was suggested to her to try to attend the reception with all of us and see if she could get her own autographs, since that was an unwritten possibility for that event.

And so we all went out separate ways (Big D to his press conference – slight jealousy there), and agreed to meet outside the reception area before that event.

To be continued...  maybe...

Yey! FINALLY! I've been checking for your updates since you wrote the first installment. :D

Wow.  Thank you!  It honestly never occured to me that someone would be actively waiting for me to post my con report.

...  Except maybe Dai since he gave me beep all that weekend for being a lurker.  But since he was procrastinating posting his own con report, I felt I could take my time.

But with AX around the corner with me wanting to have a clean mental slate by then, and my needing to start working on other personal projects, I do have to wrap this up.

So here's my version of the reception:

Thinking back on it, there were a lot of ironies around me attending the Sakura Con reception. 

Irony #1:  Due to my years of volunteering for theater, social and political organizations, whenever I’ve been part of a reception, it was usually as a worker instead of an attendee.  And if I did attend, it was usually a case where I knew half of the people there anyway.  It never occurs to me to focus on trying to mix and mingle with the guests because I considered that a perk really for other people because I usually knew or met the guests beforehand for preparations. 

When it comes to IY, I had nothing to say to them, even if we spoke the same language.  So I had no intention of using the opportunity to interact with them.  And especially after the thrill of my brief personal moment with them at the autograph session, my fan girl needs were more than satisfied for the weekend so anything else that would happen would be a pure bonus.

Irony #2:  I’ll be the first one to admit I’m not by nature a overtly social person.  I don’t get a thrill of talking to people just for the sake of talking to them.  It’s not a case of being shy, which I am not at all, it’s a case that I need a purpose or reason to do something.  Hanging out for the sake of hanging out is not my thing.  I can be the hostess or a facilitator of a discussion when the situation requires, but it’s not my preferred thing.  To truly get the most out of receptions (or any social function for that matter) mean you should be willing to aggressively mix and mingle, otherwise you’re not going to end up interacting with anyone. 

But I am an observer and a listener, and such crowds can offer interesting moments and sound bites.  So add on the component of a mixture of special guests and anime con attendees, I figure it would be ripe with possibilities.

Irony #3:  Even though I originally found out about the event because of Little D and had responded to her request for company, she and I did not hang out together at all at that event since she seemed to have bonded pretty well with Big D and others.  This was actually fine with me because this meant I could participate (or not) in the event to my personal comfort levels.  And again, I was in the primary mode of attending just to show presence and support.

Thanks to Little D’s constant checking with the event coordinator, she found out some critical pieces of information.  The most important of which was that it wasn’t going to be a sit down event but a stand and mingle process.  And since the reception was supposed to be a limited event with an extra ticket price, there wasn’t such a strong feeling of having to line up early to get the “best seat”.   

Still, that didn’t stop our growing fan group from wanting to gather early and hang out.

I arrived at the hotel by myself and quickly found the signs directing me to the pending reception in the meeting rooms.  Of course, it took just once glance at the forming crowd at the end of the hallway to see I had reached the right place.

So the members of the original group and a handful of newer faces were sitting down on the floor near the generic doors that lined the wide hallway.  Being the practical person that I am, I sat down on the floor by the wall since I wanted back support for the pending wait.

Since most of the fans waiting had gone to the autograph session, we spent the time swapping stories of our individual signing moments with H&A.  It turned out most of us had non-H&A material signed, which meant to me was a good thing.  It would leave a great impression on IY that their American supporters were knowledgeable fans about them, not just responding to the H&A publicity machine.  And hopefully that would feed back to Up-Front to bring other acts over to U.S. soil (outside of Hawaii.)

Based on watching convention and hotel staffers slipping in and out of the still closed room, I slowly became aware of the fact that my particular waiting spot was right by the main door of the event.  This meant that I was literally within five feet of the guests and their entourages as they were ushered in prior to the event.

As the start time approached and the waiting crowd grew larger, I indulged in a little bit of fan fun of trying to recognize the guest of honor who was arriving at the moment, knowing that most of them were expected to attend.  My anime fan knowledge helped me recognize some Japanese voice actors as they arrived but obviously they weren’t providing the real thrill of the evening for me.

So when we spotted a few familiar staff faces from the autograph session leading two figures wearing large coats and head coverings, we knew H&A had arrived.

Now, before I write what happened next, I am going to state very clearly that I would not write this if I did not sincerely believe this happened.  I have no reason to make this up with so many witnesses around us.

Rika was in the front and of course looking around to see where she was going.  Yossie right behind her with a hat pulled low over her face.  When Rika got to the door next to where we were, she glanced over at us.  With an obvious look of recognition, she immediately smiled at us and briefly bowed as she walked by.  I even had brief eye contact with her when she did that.

I was so stunned that all I could do was smile back.  It was the moment that confirmed what I had always sensed about her (and Yossie) in that she was a woman who really appreciated her fans.

When the doors were finally opened, the guests and their staffers were all lined up against one wall while everyone else was allowed to gather around the rest of the room, with tables ready with food and drink.

I had to admit I was momentarily concerned about the dress code but Little D had confirmed that it would be at least Con standards, which meant no thong bikinis – a standard I could handle.  But it was interesting to see both guests and attendees in a wide range of attire, with H&A towards on one extreme.  Along with cosplayers, there were some very noticeable wotas, like two Japanese guys who wore Gatas shirts with (I believe) Yossie’s number of 10.

So the event started with introductions of the guests where they could also speak to the crowd (through interpreters as needed.)  H&A were some of the last to be introduced, which was extremely satisfying to hear the lengthy and loud applause they received compared to the other guests.  I think IY were genuinely stunned by the greeting.

I don’t remember line for line what H&A said during the intros, but I do remember how they both had to comment how they felt very underdressed compared to the cosplay costumes they had seen at the Con so far.  And it was cute when Rika apologized for not feeling well and that she couldn’t eat the egg rolls that were offered.  It was even cuter when Yossie grabbed the mike from her and declared in English “She’s angry!  Very angry!”  (IY!!!)  Needless to say, the crowd – myself included – loved that moment.

Before letting the reception start in allow attendees to mingle with the guests, the organizer announced that the guests should be allowed to get food first.  When mingling was finally allowed, a large line of fans almost immediately formed in front of H&A.  Since this happened on the opposite side of the room where we had planted ourselves, all we could see was this single file line of people while other attendees and guests seemed to roam around at will.

For me, the importance now was getting food and checking out who else of the fan crowd was just hanging out, which turned out to be a handful.  So we continued to chat amongst ourselves as we kept a casual eye on the lengthy line that had formed in front of H&A.

I remember a moment where looked around and noticed two young woman wearing white frilly dresses and thought “Wow, they really decided to dress up for the reception.”  It took me a moment to realize that they cosplaying IY from the “Osaka Koi No Uta” PV.  I laughed to myself for not making that immediate connection.

As time went on, it was clear that the H&A fan line seemed to persist.

One of the other fans I hung out with commented in frustration how we should get IY plates of food so they could at least eat since it was clear they hadn’t had an opportunity.  That was when Terrie, the Asian fan who had missed out on the autograph session, explained that IY wouldn’t accept it anyway.  For safety reasons, they would only eat food they had selected themselves or were prepared by their management staff.

It turns out the food issue was minimal since the H&A group left early.  The unsurprising explanation that went around was that Rika was not feeling well at all.

So with them gone, our fan group decided on the strategy for meeting up for the concert the next night.  Since it was supposed to start at 7 p.m., the group agreed to line up as early as possible.  Based on research the previous year’s con’s activities, some fans even suggested to start as soon as the previous event ended, which would be around 2:30 p.m.

Since it was a long day, and I felt compelled to go hang out with my hostess for a bit (since I was staying at her home for free after all), I left the Con after agreeing to meet the group at 4 p.m. on Saturday...

Wow.  Thank you!  It honestly never occured to me that someone would be actively waiting for me to post my con report.


I've been "stalking" your page since you dropped that comment on Katatsamuri's blog about writing your own extensive account on the con and IY. Woah, that was loooong ago, wasn't it? Been checking up on it everytime I went online... Still do, actually. Too disturbing for you? LOL Sorry, can't stop now. :P  Oh, just read you part 5 and 6. Your accounts are extra special to me since you're writing it from an IY fan perspective...



Now, before I write what happened next, I am going to state very clearly that I would not write this if I did not sincerely believe this happened.  I have no reason to make this up with so many witnesses around us.

H&A at Sakura Con '09, Part 7: The Concert:  Waiting

Special comments:  With Anime Expo literally around the corner, I know I HAVE to wrap this up before my head starts spinning with H!P stuff again.  Also, too many Yossie things have been happening these days as a sign that I should be getting back into hard-core fan mode. 

One of these signs occurred tonight because I am currently working my way through Ayaka’s Surprise English Lessons, which means watching quite a few I hadn’t seen when I was into Morning Musume the first time around.  The key one that I just watched was Ayaka teaching Yossie the phrase “When pigs fly” and suggested that Yossie should use it in response to people asking her (Yossie) when she’ll get married.  This was aired in May of 2002 (a couple of months after the IY tabloid articles appeared).  Makes you wonder if the girls knew something back then.  Hmmm…  Yes, I’m having a heck of a lot of fun in (re)discovering IY stuff in hindsight.

Onwards, or actually, backwards to April 2009:


Let me start off my concert day report by stating my official Sakura Con gripe number two:  special wrist bands were offered to people so they could line up in a priority line instead of the regular attendance line.  However, these wrist bands were only offered to people who stayed in official Con hotels.  So anyone who was local (or staying with locals like me), couldn’t get one.  I would have willing paid for one if it had been possible (like it is with AX), but that was not the case – or at least not from what I was able to find on the official website.  While this was a one time event moment for me, I couldn’t help but think the Sakura Con folks were screwing their biggest supporters of local attendees.

So not being able to secure this priority wrist band beforehand led me to not feeling as enthused as my fellow H&A fans about the concert itself.  I knew it would mean that I could only hang out with my main crowd for a little bit before I had to join my proper place in line with the non-wrist banded folks, which would result in a very different experience for sure.  This was also the reason why I wasn’t as committed about lining up as early as possible since I knew I would most likely have to pass the time alone since I was sure everyone else in our fan clique had these coveted wrist bands.

And so I arrived at approximately 4p by walking into the hall where lines had already started to form.  What had immediately caught my attention though was the sounds of H&A rehearsing in the next room over (the actual concert hall.)  You couldn’t hear the singing that clearly but the music was unmistakable.

Sure enough, the fan clique was in towards the beginning of the priority line – like within the first 10 people, which included some female Japanese wotas.  More new faces had joined the crowd, so again, the more the merrier.  So members of the group told me they had heard the entire rehearsal set, (which is a damn good way to pass the waiting time.)

Now, I believe it was Big D who noticed that I wasn’t sitting down to join them in the wait.  I pointed out that I did not have the pink wrist band of privilege so I was going to go join the other line.  It was then revealed that one of the crowd had somehow gotten some extra wristbands and one was offered to me, which of course I accepted.  (Whoever it was, I am forever grateful to you!)

Once I was fully settled down for the wait, I could focus on the music that we were hearing.  While I don’t play an instrument or sing, I pride myself in having a little bit of an ear for music.  So I was purposefully listening for songs that didn’t sound like the standard H&A album list of 5, especially since like many other fans, I didn’t know what they were planning to sing for what we’re presuming will be an hour concert.  I especially wanted to know if they be doing any H!P material along with new H&A material.  I knew there was internet buzz of a new H&A song but that only brings the official set list to 6, sooo…
And sure enough, I heard a very familiar melody that was decidedly H!P and not H&A.  Unfortunately, when I pointed this out to people sitting next to me, I didn’t know (and probably couldn’t pronounce if I did) the song title.  But it certainly made me feel relieved that while Sakura Con publicity of focusing on H&A (NOT Ishikawa Rika and Yoshizawa Hitomi) wasn’t completely exclusive of the H!P connection.  Yes, we did hear some songs that sounded unfamiliar and more in the style of Goth rock.

Finally, the music seemed to stop and fan conversation started to resume.  After a few minutes, “Happy Birthday” could be heard through the walls.  Everyone knew it was Yossie’s birthday and hearing such a song was really not surprising.  But since they rehearsed it last, and well after the regular set, I assumed that it would be an encore moment, which would have been incredibly cute.

With the rehearsals now done, over two and a half hours of waiting with other fans is still a very loooong time to deal with.  And I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t pass time well if I don’t have anything to occupy myself with.  So having established my place in line, I felt comfortable going back to my car to grab my backpack and laptop so I could work on my lesbo ero novella, that I was finalizing for self-publishing.  (A strangely ironic thing to do while waiting for IY/H&A but I thought appropriate.)

Unfortunately the mood wasn’t quite right for me to work on such material but then I realized I had H!P fansub files on my laptop that I had brought to educate to my Eugene friends.  One of the files was Rika’s Hello Morning graduation episode, which I played for everyone sitting around.  Talk about being a fan-popular way to pass the time! 

Other than the momentary appearance of the H&A mascots, there wasn’t much else of significance to note from the next few hours.  But it was heartening to see both concert lines start to grow with anxious concert goers.

I had to admit I wasn’t quite sure what to expect of the crowd.  While I know some of us were H!P educated, I wasn’t going to make that assumption of the rest of the attendees.  I’ve watched enough of my H!P concert DVDs to know that concert fans behave very differently in Japan than in the U.S. (even though it had been a very long time since I had personally attended a concert that didn’t have assigned seating.)  I knew the Japanese wota had this thing about calling out the nicknames of girls as they sang verses of the song.  I was really hoping the Sakura Con crowd would not do that, but would rather be “American” in that the music and the performance was really more important.

On the other hand, I was also hoping that H&A wouldn’t be so focused on idol choreography, that they could relax a bit and just sing and perform without worrying about making sure their arm or leg was in the proper position or in timed movement.  While I respect the intense choreography that can be involved for H!P concerts, it wasn’t really something I wanted to see for H&A.  Though some planned performance movements are fine.  J

As the starting time grew near, it dawned on me that I was saddled with my laptop backpack that I just didn’t get around to taking back to my car for some reason.  When we were finally let into the hall, it was this factor that made me contemplate following the group of people who were headed towards the seats versus the mosh pit, being the practical and lazy old fart that I am.  However, when I saw that the mosh pit was still almost empty and that this was my opportunity to have the ultimate concert experience, I decided to take the mosh pit option. 

This was probably the most critical, spur of the moment decision I made all weekend.

Next:  Part 8 (the actual concert), Part 9 (Q&A panel), Part 10 (aftermath -- which I'll spare you folks by only keeping on my livejournal page.)

Woooooooo! Way to be spontaneous and opt for the pit! :D 

And thank goodness you got a wristband.  Kei and I had a spare one, too...  I think we left it in our hotel room.  :huhuh

Looking forward to the next parts!

Ah!  Thanks Za_Wolf!  Mystery solved!

I guess that's the good thing about posting these reports is that other folks can help fill in the blanks if possible!

Awesome recaps!! Kristen! I reaaallly feel the pressure to finish start mine as well.

Well, I figured that as long as I finish mine before you finish yours, I'm safe.  ;)

Now having gone through this exercise, I don't think I have it in me to do a con recap for AX.  I'm not as vested in MM (though I do like them).  And I admit Y without I (or vice versa) is just not the same level of interest for me.

And after all, I have porn to write as I'm starting to get some fan-pressure to work on ero book #2.

H&A at Sakura Con '09, Part 8: The Concert:  AWESOME!!!

Let me clarify something: though I joke that I’m an energy efficient old fart, I do know how to party. During my twenties, my friends and I would go clubbing almost every weekend in West Hollywood and hold my own on the dance floor with the gay boys. But that was over a decade ago. So going to a goth rock concert was hardly intimidating as much as I was out of practice being an active concert-goer. Also, if the act isn’t good, there’s no way in hell I’m going to get into party mood. As I’ve written earlier, the true test of an entertainer in my eyes is that ability to do a good live show.

Also, I purposefully have avoided watching all of the official H&A con videos because I wanted to write this account based on my own intellectual and emotional memories where possible. The report may not be technically accurate, but the point is that the impressions and memories are what really stays with you in the end.

And so I joined the gang in the mosh pit, almost dead center and with only one person in front of me! Armed and decorated with various glow items, I was ready for the concert to begin. The only drawback was that I spent the next few hours trying to keep my spot while dancing and trying not to trip over my laptop backpack at my feet.

But even with such prime positioning, the opening band experience made me (and a few others) a little nervous. So when the opening act, Miyuji, played and it was immediately noticeable that I couldn’t hear/understand the singer at all though the music was more than a little overwhelming. The sound system was THAT bad.

Up until the performance, I had to wonder about Miyuji’s persona since the lead singer introduced himself at the reception as a big hentai fan. Something that I’m sure that probably horrified all of the native Japanese speakers who may have had some concerns about national pride and appearances to Americans (e.g., IY.) My personal conjecture of course but that was my biggest impression of the band up until their performance. But because the sound system was so bad, I wasn’t able to leave with a better impression that musical talent may outweigh a little bit of joking ‘in your face-ness’.

Unfortunately, the concern about the sound system added to potential concerns about what H&A would sound like when they took the stage. That was the last thing I wanted personally and for their hopes of the best possible first U.S. performance.

So when Miyuji left the stage, and we were waiting for the REAL concert to begin, I had to refocus my expectations and concerns.

I had watched the Ongaku Gatas “Come Together” concert DVD in March and though I liked it, the almost lack of IY-interaction concerned me. With H&A openly marketing lesbian sexuality, I hoped that OG’s hands-off aura from that tour wouldn’t overshadow this concert. I also wanted the audience to respond positively to anything that H&A did on stage, no matter how subtle or overt.

To me it was a cycle to follow: Note whatever significant behavior H&A/IY may do on stage, take in how the audience reacted to it, and then how H&A/IY would react to the reaction.

Unfortunately, with writing this account two and a half month afterwards, my memories did blur a bit. So here are the significant points that are still very vivid for me:

When H&A first took the stage, the sound system was great (whew!). And I was glad to see that while there was some choreography, they seemed to have moments where they were allowed to improvise with whatever they felt at the moment. And the audience responded “American-style”, spontaneously responding to music and moments as required.

With her training from H!M skits, Y started the concert as being in very composed character, of however she defined the character of “Hangry” to be. R struck me as being a little bit more loose and relaxed as she went with the flow of the songs. As the concert progressed there was moments that you clearly thought “That’s not Angry, that’s Rika. But’s perfectly okay!” And Y clearly shifted into rock mode as required.

The first time (of several) where R would touch Y in a very staged, lesbian-seductive way, the crowd screamed. Yes, SCREAMED. And I admit myself included. The two of them were clearly surprised by the strong reaction, but it was clear that it was a pleased surprise. And it also showed how many women were in the concert crowd, which was something that I’m sure wasn’t typical of an H!P concert. Either way, it was very clear very early in the show that America LOVES IY!!!

During one of the early songs, when I saw the two of them position themselves for the next choreographed moment, they exchanged a look and a smile that was clearly a moment between the two of them. When I saw that, my concerns about them remaining formal with each other finally faded. And I looked forward to seeing them exchange looks as the concert went on, thrilled to actually see their smiles evolve to a private chuckles or laughs.

And the crowd frenzy caused by R’s leg stroke in KMKM version 1 just pushed all concert energy over the top.

Another cute moment was when the two of them had arm full of glow ring in the colors that matched their characters. They both started pitching them out into the audience. (And let me tell you that it sucks being a short person surrounded by taller people in those moments!) Y got through her batch very quickly, flinging out handfuls, while R seemed to be paced at doing pitching them carefully one at a time. And as expected, Y was soon standing on the stage waiting for R to finish, which was clearly a moment of amusement between the two of them as R rushed to catch up.

Now when the “Happy Birthday” song was played, I honestly think the only person who was more surprised than me was Y. Like I had written earlier, I thought it would be an encore moment. But since it was quickly evident of being a surprise, I was able to happily and quickly adapt to R’s present, though I did use “Y” instead of “H” in the name part of the song.

I remember dancing, arm pumping glow sticks and singing along with what few English lyrics there were. But I admit that my less energetic nature did get the better of me towards the end of the concert. Any time one or both of them looked in the direction of where I was, I jumped up and down and pumped my arms like crazy. The moment neither of them had their eyes in my direction, I put my arms down and relaxed/recooperated. I thought my arms were going to fall off. I admit though that it would have been worth it.

As for the KMKM encore version, my recollection of that moment was when R started her leg stroke (as she did the first time), I immediately spotted that wicked glint that flashed on Y’s face. I swear my heart almost flipped because I just knew she was going to do something to R that was not planned! The chain of events built with Y’s impromptu grab and hug of R, with the latter jumping in surprise but then playing into it. I screamed with everyone else at what I considered to be the ultimate IY moment of that weekend – or in any recorded memory, including the OG “Come Together” PV ‘kiss’!

When the concert concluded, everyone seemed to be in an emotional and physical high. As we left the concert hall, I asked the very seasoned H!P wota Terrie if she had ever been that close in a concert before and she admitted only once. She seemed just as thrilled as the rest of us. It was this pure crowd energy and fun that carried into our fan group’s meal at Ruth Chris afterwards.

For all of you who weren’t there, you unfortunately missed something that I don’t think can be recreated in terms of dynamics and circumstances even if/when H&A perform on U.S. soil again.

But I’m definitely not stating that you shouldn’t support them or go see them if you have the chance in the future. I certainly will!

 :shocked:... seeing light at the end of the tunnel ...

H&A at Sakura Con '09, Part 9: Q&A Panel:  Anti-Climatic?  Or Not?

In response to Little D texting me that the group had now gotten into the line for the Q&A Panel, a couple of hours before the panel itself, I was genuinely confused when I arrived at the hall where the panel was supposed to be and did not see a line, much less the fan clique.  It took a little bit of educated guessing (and wandering around) to find that the line was in the next hall over, but hidden behind some panels.  Apparently this was the line up space for the Gilgamesh panel the previous day.

And sure enough, the fan clique was at the beginning of the line, and had now grown to about a dozen people, including the Asian female wotas that had shared line territory with us for the concert.

By then, the group had apparently got into “expert mode” of how to the pass time since we still had a couple of hours to go:  someone was playing the Elder Club “Thank You For Your Love” concert DVD while people bonded over the experiences of the weekend and H!P/J-Culture knowledge in general.  It was also a time when people started to discuss the upcoming MM concert at AX as the next big thing to look forward to even though it would be almost three months away.

It really surprised me how many people did NOT list either R or Y in their Top 3 fav Musume of all time.  In fact it was discussed a bit about how the fan attendence at Sakura Con was undercut by the MM @ AX announcement, where folks opted to go to latter instead.  Those that went to Sakura Con were happy enough to have an official “H!P” event to show there was indeed a fan-base on this side of the Pacific Ocean.

Now while discussions were happening, I couldn’t help but notice the Japanese wota were very focused on the concert video, to the point that they were clearly memorizing the choreography to the songs.  It wasn’t until that point that it really sunk in for me on how important the choreography was to their marketed audience.  I guess because the concert DVDs don’t show the crowds, so you don’t really have a sense of what the fans are doing except for calling out nicknames when appropriate.

Regardless of the actual quality of the choreography, especially for idol acts, I will be the first to admit that it does take skill and talent to execute movements that may not be natural for your body.  For example, when I’m out on the dance floor doing my own thing, I’m a pretty good dancer, but the moment I have to count steps or memorize other movements, I suck.  So I definitely respect H!P acts where half a dozen (or more) people are trying to execute a song with the precision and energy level of a cheerleading squad.  It just never really occurred to me that Japanese wota would take it to the next level of trying to learn the moves themselves.

That being said, I have to admit I haven’t been dancing for a while, but I can see that the next time I hit the dance floor, some of my movements might be unconsciously influenced by H!P dance motions.  That should be interesting since the clubs I go to probably won’t be playing the H!P music to match.

And while I’m watching some of these wotas do other activities like preparing sign-boards, it was clear that the process and experience of preparing such items was just as important as any other fan activity that could be involved with the celebrity or idol themselves.  Again, there’s fan support and there’s FAN support.

Though it was amusing to note that everything is allowed to be put on hold when GAM performs.

And it was great to see the Q&A line stretch out with a lot of people, whether existing fans or newly converted from the concert of the night before.

Okay, so now we come to my official Sakura Con gripe number three:  SOMETHING got majorly FUCKED UP with this line situation!  I saw Con staff occasionally check up on us, assuring that the Q&A room would be cleared out and we would be in the first row.

That didn’t happen. 

As the panel start time arrived and no one came to fetch us, some anxious fans checked out what was going on.  It turns out that people were seated inside for the H&A panel and no one had come to let us officially know.  So after moments of chaotic confusion and panic, it did turn into a bit of a frenzied “get in there NOW!” moment as we and the other people in the line rushed in to get the best seats possible, which were definitely NOT starting at front row.

And the programmers decided to start off the panel with the “Kill Me Kiss Me” video, which would have been awesome to watch on big screen with a bunch of other fans.  Would have.  If they had actually got it to play all the way through instead of repeatedly freezing up after a minute or so.

But what bits they did show included a couple of the lesbo interactive moments, which of course solicited some fan hollering, though not to the volume and intensity of those similar moments in the concert.

Now I know some people have already posted transcripts of the Q&A itself and so I’m going to focus on my personal impressions and recollections rather than worry about being technically accurate.  Again, I purposefully did not read those transcripts (yet) because I wanted my reports to be as “unbiased” as possible.

I was very pleased that, for the most part, the fans were definitely respectful to them in the questions asked and the attentive given to their answers.  Of course, I wrote “most”.

Through the various events of the weekend, I noticed significant attempts of flirtation (by usually male fans) at one or both of R and/or Y.  And so when the couple of questions like that were asked at the panel, it was not surprising that while the other fans clearly made their disapproval known, and the translators intercepted by not translating the questions and creating comical responses on R & Y’s behalf.

Now R and Y aren’t stupid, and I’m sure have dealt with this their entire careers.  Personally, I would have liked the translators to have passed on the requests to hear R and Y’s responses, which I’m sure would have been clever, Japanese polite, or both.  Ah well.

But to view things on a general level, this is hardly the first time I’ve been to Q&A panels where fans made inappropriate personal requests or offers.  Sometimes you just can’t tell if these people are truly socially clueless to the fact that they had lined up to see the celebrity in question, not the other way around.  It’s more than a little embarrassing for everyone else involved, especially in THIS situation where I think both sides are anxious to make the best impressions possible, H&A/R&Y as Japanese entertainers for the first time at an event targetted for U.S. audiences, and we as American fans showing support.

(Holding breath as I tried not to imagine too much right now about the MM Q&A panel at AX.)

I personally got out of the panel a couple of things:

I couldn’t help but notice that R touched Y a lot, whether on the hand, arm or shoulder.  It was as if the ‘hands off’ aura on H!M after the tabloids scandal never happened.  Y, on the hand remained seated forward for the most part, but it didn’t seem like she minded the touching at all – as she appeared very comfortable and used to it.

There were also several times that they seemed to check with each other on answering questions, either having the same answer, or comfirming that their answers were aligned or okay with the other.  People who are interviewed as independent, individuals usually don’t do that, or at least not as much even if they’re in a professional duo or group.

And in hindsight, I have to chuckle when I think about the question of their favorite manga (or was it anime?) and while Y answered “Shin-chan” (which I also like btw), R answered “Sailormoon”.  That manga scene of Michiru being approached by an anxious male fan, and Haruka intervening to keep him from getting too close, suddenly has a whole new dimension and meaning if R is a fan of the series as well.  Possible self-identification on R’s part?

And so the panel ended and the second autograph event happened.  It was very pleasing to see the line wrap around two and a half sides of the large room.  It was a good enough final sight for me personally before I left the con to make my way to the airport…

Of course, I kicked myself again when I realized that I missed their appearance at the closing ceremonies…  :angry:

Next on my livejournal page only: Part 10 : Aftermath.  Some post event related H&A/IY anecdotes and thoughts about the upcoming MM @ AX event -- with Y ("H")!

Otherwise, thanks for reading!  (And yea!!! I can now watch ALL of the H&A videos I’ve saved and the other fan con reports that I forced myself to stay away from!!!)   :w00t:

I really LOLed at this part! XD I've read their answers to this question before, but I hadn't realized the implications the way you had. I had only thought "Sailormoon? Wow, she's girly. <3". Silly me.   :bow:

Post by: Linna2040 on June 27, 2009, 09:25:21 AM
For everyone to understand the full implications of R liking "Sailormoon", I though I'd do this summary:

Michiru Kaioh (Sailor Neptune)  :otomerika:
-  the feminine senshi, into things like make up and romantic moments
-  has a Girlfriend (yes, capital G, as confirmed by mangaka Takeuchi) named Haruka Tenoh
-  still VERY popular with guys and enjoys the said adoration (to a point)
-  is a famous celebrity/entertainer (violinist)

Haruka Tenoh (Sailor Uranus)  :yossi:
-  the tomboy senshi, to the point of being mistaken for a guy because of wearing men's clothing
-  can be extremely femine and sexy when she wants to be (in the manga anyway, and in her sailor outfit)
-  the girls LOVE her!  and she openly flirts with them (to a point)
-  though primarily a race car driver, is also a famous celebrity entertainer (pianist)

Michiru is the boss in the relationship.      :yep:

[Edit: corrected Sailor name for Haruka]

I could totally see Rika in the role of Neptune and Yossi in the role of Uranus. XD 

However, her saying she likes Sailor Moon doesn't necessarily mean anything other than she likes Sailor Moon...  Tonsssss of girls love Sailor Moon, and for most it has nothing to do with the lesbian characters.  :P2

I know that.   8)  And I didn't write that Rika was a lesbian because she liked "Sailormoon". 

I only expanded on the point because it was such a strong and multi-layered "coincidence".  And that's also why it's so funny.

The expanded point wouldn't work if I put in some arbitrary MM's in there... with possibly a couple of questionable exceptions.

Tru:  Too funny!  Obviously, we're not the only fans who had that same train of thought.   :twisted:

By then, the group had apparently got into “expert mode” of how to the pass time since we still had a couple of hours to go:  someone was playing the Elder Club “Thank You For Your Love” concert DVD while people bonded over the experiences of the weekend and H!P/J-Culture knowledge in general.

That was me playing that DVD.. Well until my laptop battery died.  :lol:

...  And I'm shocked to realized it was all only four months ago.   :shocked  Wow, a lot has happened since then. 

Personally on standby for when they'll announce the fall release of their album.  And a potential non-Japan concert somewhere?

Post by: daigong on January 23, 2010, 10:32:11 AM
daigong sez: Had to coordinate my notes (scratched on a hotel notepad) with my partner Terrie, and painstakingly transcribed. So Yes. FINALLY it's done in time for the RIKA "25" aka CHUUCH OF CHARMY WEEK!!

Left the gang at the escalators and went to the interview room on the third floor or whatever. My mind was racing. I phoned up my best friend Kuno_Thunder, who did not pick up lol. I txt'd everyone whom I could think of, and got pieces of encouragement! Like Rei-chan telling me to GO GIT SOME type messages XD I wanted to ask tenkei for question suggestions but he was like 'dude im drivin lol'

I paced. I pissed. I checked breath. I had no idea how it was gonna be. In my mind it was the sports type press conference: a table, a few rows of chairs for media and a mic. Walking up to the crowd, there was probably a half dozen peeps. I greeted and exchanged cards with this Ping look-a-like who was from AnimeCon website. Then I saw Terrie again, who was asking for an autograph.. I was like "How she know, where she come from..."  There'd be many slick moves to Terrie I'd later discover XD

On gut instinct, as the lady was walking by with the pad of our names - I noticed was barely on there, scribbled on infact - so I said "She's with me" referring to Terrie and she was "Aight" DAMN!!!11 Dinny woulda killed me LOL but I felt sorry for Terrie missing the autograph session :P

Then the doors to the interview room opened and we filed in....DYAMN HOMIE it was just a typical board room. An oval table with 10 swivel chairs. Two thoughts crossed my mind. Get as Close to Rika as Possible and Get as close to Rika As Possible.

There was enough chairs for all. The room consisted of Hangry & Angry, Yaz - the US Rep/Translator, Mira - translator/host from Sakura Con, another white chick I didn't know - dem 3 were on Yossi's side. Then there was this dude aka Personal Assistant and a Japanese Lady, leather coat - short brown hair, very shiny. She sat on the couch. See diagram:

(http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/9134/sakuraconinterview.th.jpg) (http://img710.imageshack.us/i/sakuraconinterview.jpg/)

The interview table was so intimate, like a typical board room table, The interviewers were: Kimi and Stephanie from acparadise.com (http://acparadise.com), a cosplay group, Anime Con Magazine reporters - boy & girl, some white chick with a nice journal, Terrie then me - seated like at the edge closest to Rika!!

Yossi chatters excitedly "Suggoi minna." The Handler gave the girls Tully's (http://www.tullys.com/company/) drinks, Yossi some iced coffee and Rika this iced tea. Rika appeared to be motioning to the chump like like she didn't want lemon ice tea and asked for another. Greets were passed around. "Wazzup"

"Shall we start?" asked Yaz, and the girls gave their greetings. "Who's goes first?" After hesitation, I said "Ladies first" followed with light laughter. The situation would be we take turns asking questions and so....

Interview: Hangry & Angry ♡ Sakura Con 2009

(http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/611/jphipinterviewhangryang.jpg)

Q (white chick): Where is Love Machine now?
A: Yossi (laughter) "My garage." Rika (repeating in english): "My garage."

Q (Terrie): Do you guys have any plans in singing in other languages other than Japanese. (Yaz: "What do you mean?") Like in English...
A: Maybe English.

By this time. I had like ZERO questions. I expected only ONE. So I dug in with a classic TOK Radio question...

Q (daigong): Cake or Pie?
A: Rika (in english almost instantly): "Cake." Yossi: "Cake." ("What kind of cake?") Rika (in english): "shortcake. strawberry shortcake." Yossi: "Cheesecake." (daigong "New York Cheesecake") Yossi: "YES!" (Terrie: "There's a Cheesecake Factory outside") Rika asks "There are other kinds of cake at Cheesecake factory?" (daigong "I love it.")

Q (AnimeConMag): Explain how you formed H&A?
A: Yossi: "Of course you know there was the h&A character before them, h.NAOTO approached them 'Hey we have the characters H&A. We design the costume, why not join together. Let's make it happen. That's how it happen."

Q (AnimeConMag): Give us a Japanese food you really like to eat.
A: Rika (talks excited): "There are so many but sushi. salmon, mackerel, uni, seaweed, squid. Recommend the belt conveyor sushi because I'm too hungry." (the dude "my record was 37 plates.") Yossi: "Whooaaaaa..." (Rika asks the dude what's his favorite. the dude "utaki, uni" and Rika goes "me too, me too....yeah!" in english.)

Q (white chick): How to relate to H&A and what do they mean to you in their own ways?
A: Yossi: "Well, we definitely relate to the H&A but we know this is a character, this is not ourselves ... and our real selves, not totally different from H&A character. But we really understand and respect the H&A character we are happy to act to collaborate with the project H&A - but our real character is very different. (?!) Rika asks Yossi something, and Yossi goes "Well we judge each other and from hANGRY, ANGRY's fashion is very cute." Rika: "From the ANGRY perspective of the hANGRY fashion, it's really punkish. really cool. When I'm wearing it, I don't think I'm good at it. Fashionwise, really cool and nice."

Terrie, "Is it possible to ask about H!P instead of H&A?" Yaz "Sure, but not to them individually."

Q (Terrie): So you just graduated from H!P, any plans, future?
A: Yossi: "Right now H&A is my life." Rika (answers in Japanese then in english): "me too, me too."

Q (daigong): When is the new H&A single coming out?
A: Rika (in english): "I dunno!!" FUCKING WITH ME... then in Japanese: "it'll be at the concert.." Yossi interrupts: "Sakura Con" (UFA peoples behind us remind them, debut on myspace.) "But still know the release date, but you can listen to it at the concert." (daigong: "Can't wait. Excited." Rika in english: "Exciting?" and then daigong busts the "Very happy." and Rika goes "Happy?" so daigong does the "Hap-pii" gesture. Rika goes in english "Hap-pii. I know." )

Q (Kimi & Steph): Since you said H&A is very different from your characters, how do you prepare to perform in a concert?
A: Yossi: "Fashion, make. Of course I'm dressing up as H&A. Then the hair, make-up. absorbing and to see the audience. OK, I'm ready to ROCK ON."

Q (Kimi & Steph): I know it's the fashion, do they do the modeling.
A: Rika: "Fashion Show? In America?" "Definitely you should come down."

Q (AnimeConMag): What Japanese Bands do they listen to?
A: Yossi: "Morning Musume." Rika: "Sharan Q." Yossi: "Ongaku Gatas." Rika: "Biyuuden...all Hello! Project. I love it."

Q (AnimeConMag): I happen to watch Japanese dramas, not animated. What live action do you like?
A: (Rika 'eee nahh' Yossi...thinking.) (Yaz: 'Maybe new or old? Hard to answer') "...but I can watch American Drama." Yossi: "Prison break / 24" Rika: "Heroes, LOST..American dramas are such a long series, so I gave up on it." Yossi: "Jackass"

Q (white chick): When you look into the audience, do you see a sea of faces or individual people?
A: I CAN SEE EVERYTHING. Rika: "Well definitely I see everyone smiling, and how excited they are, then that gives me more energy to perform."

We were all still here rotating. I looks at Terrie. she says go ahead...I make something off the top of my head now...

Q (daigong): What is your favorite athlete at this moment? Sports?
A: Yossi: "Futsal." (daigong is going "Player? Like are you watching the WBC?") Rika: "Definitely wanna see Iciro." (daigong makes this gesture on his stomach: "He hurt himself, he's got like an Ulcer.")

Suddenly my phone goes off. None other than kuno_thunder txt messaging me back!! To the ring tone of "Get Wild!" GENIUS! NON SCRIPTED!! I'm like "Excuse me!" Yossi and Rika begin singing a few bars and Yossi goes "Get Wild?" as she takes a sip of her drink. I go "Exactly." Rika asks: "Who is singing?" and I go "You guys." Rika touches Yossi's arm, has this huge surprised look :o "Where is it from?" they ask. "That's from uhhh..(me being bad with Japanese names, shows) Futagari?" Rika bust out the wild clapping laughing tapping the table instantly exclaims: "UTA DOKI!" and we all start singing and chair dancing "Get Wild!" and Rika, looks at me in a joking tone: "Maniac, ne?" Then Yaz drops a "He's otaku" blast and Rika's like "Otaku?!" and I'm like "no-no-no." Yaz then asks, "What is that, J-P-H-I-P? What does it mean?"

Here comes the dilemma, how do you fucking tell your idol that this is a site that worships her ass. But without missing a beat, "uh...it's japan, hip, fun. We just take H!P" and I scribble on my pad:

(http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/5449/15500870.th.jpg) (http://img260.imageshack.us/i/15500870.jpg/)

and flip the paper. They were like "ahhhhh...ohhhhhh." I continue: "We love Rika, IshiYoshi." Rika says a bunch of japanese, something like present. OF COURSE, THAT wasn't translated. I'm guessing she remembers the present of T-shirts we gave them earlier at the autograph session. Yaz, moving things long, "OK, Otaku guy." and Rika mimics in engrish: "Otaku Guy!" (CLOWNED by Rika, how good is dat)

Q (Kimi & Steph): What hobbies do you have during your free time?
A: Rika: "Eat. I Love eating." Yossi: "graffiti writing"

Q (Kimi & Steph): Do you cook or always eat out?
A: Rika: "Yeah, I cook too, but I'm not good at it." Yossi: "Same."

Next group, "Give us a second." and they skip to the next girl.

Q (white chick): Your myspace had like 160,000 hits within the first three days. Were you expecting such instant success?
A: Rika: "No, not at all. We never really know they are international fans, before we came to Seattle. We look at it WOW (daigong, interrupts at the side "It's internet...brings the world together." Yossi and Rika chatter in agreement, 'sugoi.') Yossi: "Internet rules."

Terrie also passes along to me. This is me, making questions up outta my ass, mind you :lol: At this point the one white chick then got up and left, "finished" with her questions.

Q (daigong): What do you plan to do in Seattle?
A: Yossi: "The first Starbucks." Rika: "Mariners aint 'here :(" (daigong "Mariners will be here on Tuesday - it will be home opener."[/i])

Q (Kimi & Steph): What make up brand do you use to achieve your look?
A: It's the make up artists.

Q (Kimi & Steph): What hair products do you use so it doesn't get damaged.
A: Yossi: "hANGRY is a character, we don't care about anything but make up artists / managers said take it easy." Rika: "The more input things to, take off the make up. it will take time  to take off."

Q (AnimeConMag): What's the best cosplay you seen so far?
A: Rika: "Sexy Chopper. one Piece. Showing the belly looks really sexy." Yossi: "I hear many people make their cosplay themselves. Really admiring very cute and very nice."

Q (AnimeConMag): Do you guys go out to drink, what is your favorite Very Osak drink.
A: Yossi: "Wine, champagne." and Rika repeats the same in english :heart: "chardonnay" IF they drink. "sometimes"

Q: You two look like you always get a long, is there any times you don't get a long and how do you get over it?
A: Rika: "Ahhhhh....." Yossi: "NEVER FIGHTS. We been together for such a long time, so we really understand each other. It's more like a family." Rika: "She's like my older sister."

Q: Is there a cute habit you have, that some people think it's cute?
A: Yossi: "Rika makes these sleepy faces." Rika to Yossi: "I don't know...are you serious? It's kinda embarassing." Rika turns the tables, "hANGRY character looks punkish and boyish, Yossi likes small pinky, girly stuff."

Q (Terrie): Is there something you'd switch?
A: Yossi: "Angry easy to get angry when hungry." Rika: "hANGRY. Like the change in weather all the time. Hangry is like keeps everything inside, looks so cool. Angry, 'OK. Show everything.' everyone knows what she feels right now. It's really hard to know the real her. Add them together and divide by two and that's the best character."

Yaz, "OK, last question." and I laid out the hardball question of the century!

Q (daigong): What do you like in an ideal guy? Traits? (This question ends up being translated into 'fave male celeb')
A: Yossi: "Leonardo Dicaprio." Rika: "Too many. (and then in english, repeating) Too many. Just one moment, please." (after much thought...) "Favorite Soccer: Fernando Torres....Favorite actor: Orlando Bloom...Favorite singer: Ne-yo." (Rika thinks...) "Japanese?" By this time, WE ALL clowning Rika including Yossi adds: "Tsunku? ..Haddo Gei." LMFAO!

Yaz wraps it up! "Hope you got all the information you need." In total, we had nearly 50 minutes in the there. hahaha SUCKA!

As we began to pack up the things, we went and suggested that "Can we take a group photo?" I didn't think that was possible but what the hell, THEY AGREED. All paranoid with the rules. Here I was already macking Rika, giving her our JPHiP bidness card, and had wrote my myspace address. "Add me." :lol: Rika had no fucking idea what I was talking about but I was like explaining, here's our info, that I'm from Canada, my name is daigong, etc. Fuck my lack of Japanese skillz. Terrie was totally talking it up with Rika in Japanese!

Quickly we gathered to take the picture, everyone getting their turn with their own camera. I was so focused on posing with Rika but dude from the Anime Report site had took his place and refused to budge. I had literally was ready to toss him aside into the coat rack. Yaz and the handlers could not help but laugh at this insanity and I believe H&A felt it too cuz by the time they finally used MY camera, fucker obliged and moved aside. I slid in and put my arm around BOTH Rika and Yossi, Rika's black wig gently caressing my arms and my hand on Yossi's shoulder. Rika's shoulders were gentle yet warm, my face trying not to explode from jizzing.

BOOM!! HOW PLAYA IS DAT?

Thank yous went all around, blah blah we double shook Yossi and Rika's hands. It was organized chaos, trying to be polite and respectable while not spazzing like fucking wota geis. I double pumped Yossi's hand Thank You Thank You Arigato and hadn't noticed my fat ass had backed Rika into the corner LMAO so I gently gestured Rika back to Yossi. I double pumped Rika's gentle, yet cold hands, and used what little Japanese I knew. Thank you Arigato. Staring deep into her eyes, trying to look beyond the ANGRY get up, her smile unmistakable, giant teeth with such warmth and sincerity. Rika then talked to Terrie who later told me that Rika had said she remembered her from past FC events. Savouring each second, just staring at Rika just casually talking to Terrie. How surreal it was. Like we were just best friends meeting up. What you saw on TV was exactly how they were in real life. From the near decade of watching them, reading about them, wanking to them. It all boiled down to the most EPIC moment in JPH!P HISTORY.

The handlers said GTFO! and so me and Terrie walked backwards waving as the doors shut behind us. HOOOOLY SHIT. It hadn't even dawned on me what I had just experienced. All I could do was hug and triple hug anything possible so I dived into a pile of girls Kimi and Stephanie along with Terrie and we just freaked the fuck out like a bunch of school girls. Kimi or Stephanie said "OMG Thanks for asking that question!" (The who are your ideal dudes) I was informed that the whole "Get Wild" moment was on video and we exchanged infos. We continued babbling that we lost track of time and Dinny came around. aww she was bummed when learned Terrie had got in on the interview and that it was so fucking long. So caught up in my own personal goals of groping Rika. I had to make it up to dinny. Help others experience what I experienced. With the theme of encouragement to SEIZE THE MOMENT.

Yet, it would be days, even months before I realized just how EPIC this was and what it meant to the JPH!P FAM as a whole.

The Guest Reception was a hour and half away, so we figured to drop shit off at the hotel (Dinny had bought a few figures) and I'd check the Merchandise table later. Plus to drop the latest happenings on the forum. I recall posting on the picroda of the group pic with "Who Da Man" as caption :lol: I was just a complete mess. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could have met Rika, talked to Rika, and touched Rika. I posted a blur of babble. Triumphant WE WERE. Dinny came by and I took a pic of her and her autographed GATAS jersey and posted that too. WE WERE ON TOP OF THE WORLD.

We quickly headed down to the merchandise table and grabbed what we could. T-shirts, keychains, mini plushies - we ended up buying the last ones. We ran into Stark again and shit talked with him. Shall I get the one with the cutesy come hither pose and was pretty amazed how much he knew of jphip, the members, and H!P in general. Really nice guy, not a corporate honk or whatever. Kristen came up and met with us, she had safeguarded / put my signed posters in her car when we had split up earlier. Dinny had to meet a friend, to see if they could get in the recept so we split up for a bit to put the shitload of goods away and head to the Hilton, where the Guest Reception was held.

In just those 2 to 3 hours, I had done what I had set out to do: Put JPH!P on the map and convey the message to IshiYoshi that overseas fans love em. And of course, get up close and personal with Rika.

Quickly we found the throng that we had met up with at the autograph session. OpsMonkey had a pimp hat and suit. iceymoon and Bryan all cute. Ricker and alohellofan chilaxing. Dinny introduced me to her buddy Tony and we was chill. Munching on mints, we shit talked about the happenings - the interview, the epicness. When suddenly, I got this call...

"Hello?"

"Is this <my name>? We understand you have the group picture on your website. Please take it down - this is for personal use only." Apparently, this was Yaz..I wasn't too sure at the time.

And they outlined the rules agreed upon, I apologized and explained, that I was just overwhelmed in fanboyness. They weren't mad, just like "be reasonable" type of tone. My mind had raced Is they gonna shut us down but they were nice. That they did not want the negative reaction out of a few jealous fans that had begin to flood the boards.

Instantly I called up The Crack Staffer that I knew was on duty at this time: "Yo tenkei. take that pic down. Do it like NOW." I instructed him and he was like "aight, it's done." I then went on a manical patriotic rant that left him confused and speechless.

All that time, I had missed H&A entering the banquet hall and learned of it only when I found my way back to Dinny & Friends. She got the video anyways. BUTT FUCK. Well, all the better. I had to lay low from here on out. We gathered into the ballroom, and stood mid centre, left. Nice food. Deep ceiling and low light levels so it was hard to pinpoint where IshiYoshi was. But they were in the back, right on some seats.

stark did his thang, as Guests of Honor babbled, and we politely greeted and applauded. When Miyuji (Japanese rock band, opening act for H&A) yelled JAPANESE HENTAI!! I quickly reacted YEAH!!!! but went oshit, think they saw me? -- good thing Linna or Rick was covering me. Dinny and Terrie were seated up close cheering.

When H&A finally got up, jetlagged as hell - they were gamers. Rika went "Y'all Cosplayers Make us Feel underdressed!!" and Yossi zinged "Rika got JETLAG. NOW she ANGRY!" XD True pros's pro entertaining us to no limit.

The food time began, and almost immediately the line for H&A grew. I grabbed a glass of chardonnay and BOOM drunk as fuck. I laid low and but kept pushing dinny to meet H&A - she so shy - so Terrie took her. I basically circled the room, not actually standing and stalking em, but viewing from afar. I did go up behind them and seated was a lady with short bobbed hair. I went in and asked if she was with the H&A crew. I introduced myself and owned it - the posting the photo, etc. and apologized. She said it was no big deal, just didn't want any jealous fans to go crazy. Totally nice sweet lady.

Terrie took me aside and said that was UFA CEO!!!! XD Sure enough - same leather jacket - it was the same Lady that was at the press interview earlier!!

I did manage to sneak up around the back and took a pic of the back of Rika <3 before a handler motioned "No" by that time I was gone. HA I had a bit of food, but 2 or so glasses of wine. Just listening to Bryan go "mehhh. let's not bother them while they eat!" IshiYoshi are SUPERSTARS! I thought. "Do you think they'd go there hungry?" LMAO.

I saw Dinny managed to get in (the LAST person!) to talk to H&A!! SUCCESS!! And as they were wrapping up, I lunged from behind, instead of group hugging Terrie and dinny - I had my arms wrapped around YAZ XD she was kinda surprised lmao then like WOOOSH. mini barracade and H&A were wisked off to their hotel room and I waved like a DORK.

We fangirled after that - dinny told H&A we designed these shirts and was like asking if she could shake their hand and THEY DID! They didn't eat anything, but was expected. Took random drunk pix with Miyuji and stark too.

Tired as fuck, we went back to the hotel. I think it was also then, we first met up with dinny's buddy T-Back aka Tony. But wasn't at the guest recept cuz he didn't get a ticket. Hollered at Ops and others to meet up early in the morning.

The overall feeling is that these two, IshiYoshi, HangrY & Angry - whatever you wanna call them: Rika and Yossi - are two of the most down to earth yet consumate professionals. They are here to understand the fans, the most sincere celebrities you would ever meet. I really took the whole thing like they were just my regular homies. To even connect with them on such an intimate level - now reflecting months later - is beyond me.

MISSION FUCKING ACCOMPLISHED!! April 10, 2009 would go down as JPHiP's FINEST MOMENT ...so far!

STAY TUNED!! For the conclusion. XXXclusive Video and Pictures! will be shared in #Rika25 room as we wrap up RIKA WEEK at :hipheart:

....you have no idea of the jealousy I feel now.  XD

But thanks for the detailed sharing! Really, if anyone deserves to meet Rika, it's JPH!P fans, esp. you and Masa. So I'm so happy that you got the chance.

six months later...when I started (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=17850.msg575237#msg575237), this is the conclusion of my story...

Day 2 | Saturday (2009.04.11)

CONCERT

With the concert at 6 PM, we had some time to kill with some touristry shit. Got up early to check out the first Starbucks in hopes to run into IshiYoshi - of course me leading the way, we got lost like WHOA. Hey! That Space Needle is getting bigger and bigger. OpsMonkey (who joined me, Dinny, and T-Back) totally fell flat on his back on those metal sewer covers too XD

Luckily dinny had GPS on her phone and we managed to go south and down a steep road to Pike Market. Full of seafood and eats, there it was 10 millions Starbucks but this one had a brown sign and was PACKED. So we took a few pix and headed back north to get breakfast. Chilled at a bigger, emptier Starbucks and dinn was all "Hey! There's that wota with the giant Happy BDay Yossi banner" - STALKER! We then went to take a bus to Bruce Lee's grave site and we got lost again so just made dinny in charge of the google maps. XD

Made our way to Bruce Lee's grave and bus driver was even nice enuff to drop us off near the gate. ALMOST got lost again walking to the top then bottom but I saw some people and went over and sure enough, The DRAGON. The LEGEND. It was too surreal. A tiny plot, hidden by bushes. We paid our respects, Chinese style and headed back to the Con.

I hadn't showered since last nite (guess why) and my ass was marinating so had no choice and jumped back to the hotel. Met up with dinny, T-back, Ops and we began lining up at the hall. We were like 2nd people there around 2pm-ish. Slowly but surely, crowds began to grow. "Hey! is this the line" a lil Pinoy (with a starbucks cup almost as big as him) asked us, DUDE IT WAS ZA_WOLF. He of literally posting two days before. TOTALLY BLOOD BROTHERS. He was so down with the clowns. Then this tiny Japanese gal was talking in Japanese, and I was like "Sup? How YOU doing" and she was like talking in pretty good english. We was like "Are you Rika fan? I Rika fan." Mae-chan!! INSTANT BOND. I told her about getting a pic with H&A and showed her and she was so thrilled for me. Mae was so hardcore, she wore a Rolling Stones gear cuz Rika once did. It was like I found the female Japanese equivalent of daigong. :heart:

Suddenly music was bumping...was that H&A? Me, Dinny, and Za_Wolf ran towards the back doors...

SAKURACON_1152.avi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjNwFuI_whs#)

Satisfied, we went back where familiar faces showed up - watching Linna's laptop, even Kimi and Steph and friends, and we squeezed em into our spot. Then we got shoved to the side of the wall and met up with Mae-chan's Japanese contingent, though cuz of language, we just smiled and nodded. Terrie than burst in and said "ohhhhh daigong, we're all over 2ch. even dinny and her Gatas jersey. Why you!!!!" and she and Dinny proceeded to slap me silly.

ALMOST CONCERT TIME!! The H&A Mascots appeared at the sidelines to pump us up.

Yaz yelled the typical "Who's here for Hangry & Angry?!?!" WOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Me, dinny, and Za_Wolf zoomed to get our pix taken with the mascot. As I was running for a hug, I launched head first into Angry's head XD I grabbed Mae and took more pix, Brian, iceymoon, all joined in on the craziness. Of course we saw the HD Cam lady so hammed it up.

FINALLY we got filed in and grabbed front and centre!!! Wolfie, dinny and T-Back squeezed in the front while I stood back with alohellofan, Linna2040, Ops, and all. There was the warm up group Miyuji was aight, well played - I swore their mic was busted tho lmao

...after they finished much waiting. I had no preparation of wota gei at all, or even to use a glowstick - I had passed out all of them out to the girls around me, except a necklace one. Then DARKNESS. We started chanting HANGRY!! ANGRY!! HANGRY!! ANGRY!! HANGRY!! ANGRY!! Suddenly, this weird voice, sounding like the intro to a 90s rap album.

THEN BOOM THEY HIT THE SCENE!!

It was like a dream.  You could tell how pumped IshiYoshi was, feeding off our energy. I had never seen Rika so enfused with playfullness. Shaking her hips at the crowd.

At one point, they came back out holding a bunch of glow rings. AND I SWORE!! Rika aimed for me but I caught palm first and it burst in my hand :( Yossi was lazier, just tossing a bunch at a time and I snagged a ton but gave it to Kimi and her friend, seductively placing it around her neck.

THE REST WAS A BLUR. By the end, me & Dinny was just copying the wotas moves. Like the OI! OI! OI! and the calmer arm fling and recieve. THERE WAS NO WEI we could jump as freaking high as Aya and Terrie LMAO. JUMP AND YELL I did. Everytime they did remotely a lesbian move like stroking of the lace, I just burst out the loudest WOOOOOOOOOooo!!! By the end, I was so beat, I was draped over Linna2040 XD After they came out to ENCORE. I believe it was Mika or Aya or Mae who did the chant, and we followed. Except we made it "Americanized" KISS ME!!! KILL ME!! In the manly growl that surely shocked the shit out of them.

here's the setlist:

    intro -  weird voiceover
01. Sadistic Dance
02. Angelia
    MC H&A Talk
03. No future
04. GIZA GIZA
    MC Tossing glow rings + Talk "ARE YOU READY TO DANCE!?"
05. Lady Madonna
    MC Guitar version of Happy Birthday as crowd sings to hANGRY
06. KISS ME KILL ME
07. Romantic ni Violence
    MC American Anthem (Jimi Hendrix style) "WE LOVE AMERICA~!" as H&A comes out with the US Flag
08. The★PEACE! (rock version)
09. Love & Peace! HERO ga Yattekita

    ENCORE
10. KISS ME KILL ME

thx Dinny for the song titles

And an hour later, they exited stage LEFT. What had happened, was purely simply, the most unspeakable feeling ever. The adrenaline that had filled us. We stood there, soaking in the evaporated sweat that had been there. That was hANGRY & ANGRY.

LET'S PARTY!! Dinny wanted steak, we decided to head on down to Ruth's Chris steakhouse and get stuffed. As we shuffled on out the doors and began to wade through the crowd of people, a group of girls were like "YEAH!! JPHiP HANGRY ANGRY!!" and I was like "FUCK YEAH!!" and reached to grab their hands. We shuffled our way to the side escalators to just gather the troops, relieve ourselves and SHIT I was CHASED and TACKLED by same group who were like "DAIGONG! It's us, differentstory12!?" There we had differentstory12, Ripusu, Kimuuu, and ChocoMochaKei and Friend. AND I WAS LIKE SHITTTT!! AWESOME!! hugging them and said JOIN DA PARTY!! I drank from Ripusu's water bottle and she was like if you drink and it means u kiss me. I looked her straight in the eye and chugged. I was dat crazy. Linna, iceymoon, had gone off by then to book a table. I was so high, I could just lie on the floor and soak in the feelings but dinny dragged me up. I was so crazy man, when we were in the street and a car pulled out, I was like yelling "HEY!! I'm walking here!!" just like Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy. Alcohol? Who needs it? IshiYoshi is the ultimate high XD

We settled in Ruth's Chris and ordered me some Chardnay. Kuno_Thunder then texts me the score of the Oilers game as we were ordering and I just had to share this moment of epicness with my homie. 'Sup BRO!' somehow, he arranged he call ME back, and get US ALL ON JPHiP RADIO. One by one, we arranged every one at the table to say a little something about the concert & Sakura Con. It was just the single most epic concert report ever. Such pride came over me, all that we have struggled to overcome, this singular moment represented all that is us. The Community binded by the Music, the people, the happiness. I really can't remember the shout outs and all the manlove that I gave in that one phone call, but I meant every ounce. This is the phone call, recorded by Dan. (http://www.mediafire.com/?xuyclimjuzw) daigong lives and dies for JPH!P

This was by far, a different trip from the World Tours in past. 2K6 and 2K8, we were already close friends. What would have been just me and Dinny, ended up being a group of sixteen plus, all gathered for the same cause. In that moment, I grew as a leader. daigong took what his usual greetings of the noobs into the flesh. I went corner to corner, and chatted up the new people - well the girls lolz. It was as if they knew of jphip but they did not know the roots. So I babbled on and on, I talked to Kimuuu of her past alias of Crispy Soup Chef. Ripusu asked a ton of questions, and I was just like MAN, H&A - the music just brings us all together. And in between, Dinny and T-Back came and fed me my steak dinner XD It was awesome, shit talking and reaching out to new members of the jphip way. Overnight, in that instant the bonds would be tied forever to what we had witnessed, and the party thereafter.

Meanwhile, Terrie was planning to make a greeting poster board thingy to Yossi and we all went and signed that too. Then it DAWNED on us. Somebody (dinny? Kimmy?) suggested that we take a group photo JUST for the Japanese 2ch fans who had been following our reports so intently, so we rolled back to the concert hall and SNAP!! took this shot for history sake.

Exhaused, it had been a long night, we strolled back to the hotel and just passed out. ANOTHER EPIC DAY IN THE BOOKS!!

Day 3 | Sunday (2009.04.12)

Q&A

The one day we were gonna sleep in? FUCK DAT! Dinny called me up and we headed on out around 8 or 9 am. The Q&A was at 2 pm so we were determined to be front of the line. We called up the troops and met up at the doors. There was our Japanese friends again, and this time, I gave my spare H&A T-shirt to Mae and she excitedly ran to put it on. PERFECT FIT!! Aya and Mika also formally introduced each other and we all just hung for the next 3 or 4 hours watching videos off Ops Monkey's laptop, trying to gain some sleep. We met "Kevin" - I forget which site he was from, but he had an awesome custom Ongaku Gatas Slash H&A shirt. He said he heard the radio show last nite haha. Me and Ripusu went and walked around for a bit, there was a stairfull of Sailor Moon impersonators and we got in on the photo XD We went to Tully's and relived Rip and DS12's moment of seeing IshiYoshi there sipping on their tea. As we headed back to the gang, we were met by almost everyone. The line had really formed then...

FUCK!! People were already seated inside. The Sakura Con dude who told us to form the line fucked up. Ah well, we JUST RAN. there was absolutely no seats for us to sit together. We all split up, I think Dinny and Terrie got some good seats up front, while Ripusu and DS12 sat to the middle back?? Me, Aya, Mika, ended up on the FLOOR literally kneeling at IshiYoshi lmao towards the left near the side exit but directly angled towards the stage. T-Back managed to grab a seat behind us. A video camera was also set up beside us.

In came the Q&A Panel, as cheap laptop played the KISS ME KILL ME PV (and it continually fucked up), my job was to just fire up the crowd. They seemed shy at first and me and my corner brought that rock concert atmopshere all over again. IN CAME HANGRY & ANGRY under behind the screen.

insert the collective recaps of CMKEI+KIMMY+DINNY - they did an awesome job of it! I don't think I was even paying attention rofl (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=17850.msg561720#msg561720)

I decided not to ask any questions this time, and just lay back and let everyone get a chance. Towards the middle of the Q&A, T-Back had to head home. We fist pumped and promised to meet again in LA. I wonder if H&A noticed the manlove? I kept egging Aya + Mika to ask questions but they were shy. When the photobook question was asked, I yelled "ALO HELLO!!" - I'm sure they saw me, applauding. It was hard not to just drill holes into the brains lol as I was screaming and shouting.

FINALLY, the autograph session PART 2 came about and there was a ridiculous amount compared to the first one. We were so in front of the line, they were more stricter it seemed. One ticket, one autograph, one item. They even disallowed personlized autographs due to time constraints. So I slipped in and Yossi's face instantly lit up at seeing the jphip shirt and all I could say to Rika was "arigato, arigato" and she just looked at me with the hugest smile behind her make-up and wig. HEAVEN. GOD IS GREAT. Behind me, Terrie and Dinny presented Yossi's card...but mind was a blank...as I stood there admiring Rika from afar...and since we got through so early, there was plenty of time to waste to gawk and wave madly at IshiYoshi, which Terrie and Dinny did LMAO. Terrie went back for seconds and thirds, while I thought of something. We had a plan to do HAP~PPI like Rika and BIRTHDAY!! with the point the finger at Yossi style, with our whole group. Unfortunately we couldn't be seated together. SO I spotted the same lady with the HD Camera and I cornered her and said "Hey, could we record a message for Yossi's birthday" with all the arm waving she finally understood. So she said come with me, we need like a blank wall for good lighting, scenery.

We went outside of the Q&A Hall to a wall and we did our HAP~PI-BIRTHDAY!!! And one by one, each one of us gave a shout out and account of the Sakura Con events. I managed to squeeze in a few hollerings from my homies in Finland, Phillipines and Thailand xD Others around joined in the circle and got into the video which would eventually be sliced into future myspace videos. We took impromptu group photos and me and Kimmy were so jacked up, we did a flying chest bump. Nothing could take this moment from us!! We went back inside, and Mae finally got her autograph. When we told her that we filmed a greeting, she was totally beating me up. "You didn't get me to film a message too." Ahh, uuhhh, I didn't know where you were! So I found the HD Camera lady again and told her when hANGRY & ANGRY get off stage, we're gonna all do that greeting again......wait wait. Mika or Aya came up and they even had their Nintendo DS case signed by hANGRY by Yossi!!!

THEN THE MOMENT CAME. As they began to leave the stage we all shouted HAP~PI-BIRTHDAY!!! Yossi was so shocked and happy. Rika looked on in surprise and smiled her face off as we added a WE LOVE YOU RIKA!!! and waved like idiots. Then as if we won the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Championship, and Stanley Cup all put together. we all surrounded each other and started CHEERING and hugging. Hehe, made it up to Mae as that was the final footage in the myspace video.

SUCH A HIGH! as we were ushered out, straight to the Closing Ceremonies we went. Like the CHAMPS we high fived some random girls at the bottom of the escalator. OUCH! They yelled. By that time, it was already mostly packed. We stayed and watched it all, but got one final glimpse as hANGRY & ANGRY came out for one last hurrah. WE YELLED AND SCREAMED LIKE NO OTHER.

By this time, it was time to say good-bye. Each new friend we would share this life changing moment forever. Linna2040 promised to post. I told opsMonkey to holler at his cousin, Kwake. Bryan and iceymoon would fill me in on Hello! Party plans. One by one. We took, there was this one dude with a goatee who kept taking our photos for us lol, whom was hanging to the side but by the time I could holler at him to get in the photo, he vanished. We would later meet in LA. Rammos from Philly. Karma baby.

One of the toughest goodbyes was to my partner in crime for the whole weekend, rev2hd. We walked back to the hotel cuz she had her stuff in my room. How we bonded, it was like we knew each other forever (was she lurking) but all I can say is WOW. Down in the lobby, I hugged Dinny and told her "You finally delurked" fuck, there was no one that epitomizes the JPH!P way than her. I AM so proud of her. To think we thought it was just gonna be us, but we went and not only had the time of our lives, we UNITED Rika and Yossi fans from websites all over the world.

I went back to the group that was remained: Rickker708, Japanese Fans, Kim, DS12, Ripusu, and Wolfie. We had a feast like no other. At Waterfront Grill (http://www.waterfrontpier70.com/waterfrontpier70/), where IshiYoshi said they had the largest seafood bonanza. Of course, we got lost as per JPH!P World Tour tradition. And even though was rainy and cold, the time just getting to know each other and just shit talk about Hello! Project was well worth it. Like how Mae talked about Miki's flat chest, OMGASS FUCK Mae-chan, I love that chick. She was like my Rika soulmate. Laying smack on Ai-chan, "WTF is this monkeyface. Why???" cracked me up. And Ripusu was like "Aya-chan (one of the Yossi fangirls) u look like Maki" and Mae-chan was like "Ohhhh, you just said you ain't a Maki fan. That means u don't like Aya-chan" FUCKIN RICH. Just fucking full of life, energy, makes ya go "Shit son, I gotta brush up on the Hello! Project IQ and not just stare at Rika's ass!" and how Aya and Mika knew each other via a Japanese Yossi website. And Woody Woodpecker Hair Wota Dude kept on showing us random videos on his phone and all the pix of him and Rika. He spoke no english but we just laughed and laughed along. MAD PROPS TO THE JAPANESE FANS. Truly, from all the alleged misconceptions - we are all just one and the same.

Even though Waterfront Grill had the best scenery every, lmao shit was mad expensive and portions small. While they were setting us up a table, we were all "RIKA! YOSSi!! Woo! IshiYoshi!" in the lobby. Kimmy had to leave in between, her taxi - I gave her a bear hug and she gave me an intense thank you. Heh, what did I do? Then in my bag I noticed a wad of cash LMAO it was a note from Dinny and T-Back: "You think you're gonna pay for everything bitch?" Oh man, I love Dinny and T-Back so much. We escorted everyone back to their hotels, even Wota Dude cuz Seattle late nights was quiet as hell. DS12 and Ripusu had to rush cuz their plane was leaving at 11 pm haha. Mae was at the Renaissance because the R logo was for Rika. I flashed her my JPH!P shirt and she was so nuts <3 lifting her shirt and revealing her :hipheart: I taught them Japanese fans the IshiYoshi 4 LIFe hand gesture a la nWo. Me, Rick, and Wolfie found a bar around Niketown. Even said wassup to a member of Miyuji. We talked shit for a while longer, Wolfie talking how peoples was reacting to us all over the place. WHOA...We had truly made our mark!

Rounding out the nite, I was gonna meet up with Wolf for some breakfast but unfortunately our flights didn't jive. Flying back home, the txt from Ripusu made me smile: "...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED."

daigong's thoughts

Short of rehashing what I have already written (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=17850.msg562259#msg562259), BIG FUCKING PROPS to all who came and hung out, all who followed the action in the forum, and those reading this thread in the future. You know who you are, you have helped build this community through the posts and the interactions. daigong thanks you all.

In retrospect, why the fuck did this take nearly eight months to write. Probably, because I was soaking each moment by memory...or just a lot has been happening in my life and here at JPH!P - we don't stop, we don't quit, always moving forward to the next challenge. I may have met GOD aka Rika Ishikawa and her partner Hitomi Yoshizawa, but I kept it on the down low. The shit is, IshiYOshi are so fan friendly, so intimate and down to earth. Like in The Interview and Q&A, no matter how good or bad our questions were, they would make every effort to answer it in full. Everyone you talked to had their own life changing IshiYoshi interaction. It's been a blast reading everyones reactions!!!

The craziness and unabashed stalking that tama-chan laid out in Bangkok with Girls Generation a few months earlier was indeed an inspiration, as she has been throughout my Rika Fandom. I could not fathom how the events at Sakura Con would unfold. We carried this momentum straight into Anime Expo in LA and Chibi Japan Expo in Paris and BEYOND! Everyone wanting to use the daigong formula for more JPH!P Exclusives lol. We went through our ups and downs, yet no matter the challenge, we never backed down. I'm thankful for every roadblock, for every challenge - for it has made us stronger. JPH!P throughout it all, kept it POSITIVE! just like Rika Ishikawa. To quote Conan O'Brien from just last night, "...if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

With Sakura Con, we took it above and beyond. There is no limit to what you can do if you just work hard every day, prepare yourself by keeping it HARDCORE - posting, contributing, pimping, hustling, slanging. FORCE FATE. If you ask the naysayers if we would be in this position three years ago? four years ago? They woulda laughed in my face. You have to learn to lose, in order to win. Pimping ain't easy, let's just put it that way. JPH!P's don't give a fuck, let's go have fun attitude was universal as THE MUSIC that brought us all together. On the surface, it may seem like "Oh, you're so lucky." but best believe this has been a helluva journey. But you know what? I wouldn't change a fucking thing. Carpe diem. Seize the moment. Seize the day.

Seattle took my leadership skills to the next level. Whereas I used to have my buddies to lean on in past JPH!P WORLD TOURS, this was like starting from the beginning - finding new people to pimp JPH!P to, expecting the unexpected. It was amazing, all the instant 4 LIFE bonds made. I still get e-mails from Mae-chan and Mika-chan saying that Sakura Con was the most amazing event in their lives! (http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9193/f6c0.gif)

This has been such a triumph not only on a personal scale, but as a group, we at :hipheart: began its comeback. Never before have we been more inspired. I hope this inspires the rest of y'all to keep the faith in Chuuch, that HOPE is what drives us to succeed. There is no doubt I want to do more and not rest on my laurels, together with my HiPstaz - WE WILL CONTINUTE to make JPH!P the best community in all the land!!  :jphip:

English comprehension is not my forte (which is why I worship the Fan Fic writers so much). A lot of rappers, actors, and sports superstars have been quoted in this recap. Julius Caesar sums up the whole experience in three words:

Veni, vidi, vici*

ISHIYOSHI 4 LIFE!!  :otomerika: :yossi:

And I swear from now on, I'm a finish concert/convention reports in one day TOPS :lol:

Dai, YOU'RE A BLOODY LEGEND!  :love:

I can't begin to thank you enough for writing this all up... it must have taken a lot of hard work on your part. And it really shows your dedication not only to Rika/IshiYoshi, but to JPH!P as well, and I really do feel inspired and touched by your words. Writer or not, you've definitely captured the feel and now more than ever I wish I had gotten into this fandom earlier. WAAYYY earlier. I'm kind of angry at myself for turning down the opportunity to become part of this world years ago, when I was introduced to it.  :cry:

JPH!P is such a fantabulous place full of fantabulous people... I just want to say this first before mentioning what love Rika/IshiYoshi is. I get this sense that Daigong would rather save JPH!P than save Rika if both were at that point of death, and THAT is what really moves me. Though of course, what you'd probably do is save Rika and then die with JPH!P.  :P

Well of bloody course I'm jealous of you for having been able to see, talk to and touch our favourite idols. But contrary to me (this fresh blood), you’ve been a follower for a LONG time. The fact that you’re just as excited about Rika now as you were all those years ago – to me, it’s a little astonishing. Because I’m surrounded by people (friends + family) who move from one fandom to the next according to what’s in, that’s what I’m used to. I’m a little guilty of it myself, to be honest. But I have a feeling this current fandom’s going to be settled in for a long time. JPH!P just inspires. But yeah, the point is, I feel really happy for you, Dai. You deserved every second of your amazing experience!

But still. WOW. Reading through your reports is just wow. You guys really did make it happen, didn’t you? It sounded like so much fun, exactly like a dream come true. You made life bonds, you had the time of your life, and you got to meet – and not just meet, but converse with and physically touch your idol. Holy cow, how surreal it must have felt! I mean, Rika knows you as “Otaku guy”!!! You’ve been deemed into existence by THE one and only Ishikawa Rika! O.o That’s a life feat right there! Hahhahaa…

I really enjoyed the interview with H&A @ Sakura Con! EPIC! You got to spend almost an hour with them, only a stone’s throw away. So lucky. >.<
And when the non-scripted part happened – your phone pimping “Get Wild?” ROFL. Bringing back the happy memories for everyone. Good one, Dai <3
AND AWESOME LAST QUESTION! Well, Rika is a bit of an indecisive person, ne? So I wasn’t surprised to hear about a couple of ideal men… ^__^
The HAP~PI-BIRTHDAY shout out to Yossie was awesome! And you never fail to throw in a Love-You-Rika as well. Lol.
Really impressive how you’ve managed to put JPH!P on the map too. Rika and Yossie actually RECOGNISE JPH!P now. You’ve repped this community like it’s nobody’s business and you’ve done it with such sincerity (and a bit of fanboy cuteness :P).

All in all, AWESOME REPORTS! I got so much out of your extremely detailed and heart-warming accounts. Man, I want to hang with this crew if I ever get the chance in the future! *though it looks a little gloomy coming from the Land Down Under and all* But like you said, work hard, prepare and FORCE FATE!  :thumbsup

ARIGATO ARIGATO ARIGATO!

aww writerserenyty & Beecubed  :wub: Even my girl tama-chan txt'd me "Just saw the pic You bastard Im jealous lol" I dunno about "deserved" - you just root for everyone to EXPERIENCE the IshiYoshi / Rika / v-u-den for themselves. We've had a bunch rep at events in Hong Kong and Singapore, and of course Japan concerts (Masa and ebc!) THERE IS ALWAYS a chance. Plenty of H&A Goodness to come in the future, so it's NEVER too late. Y'all got a vast library of shit to catch up on!!

YOU only live once, get one chance, make the most of it. It's all cliche but so true.

LOL. It is kinda crazy how long we've been Rika fans here. You know, it's hard not to be bored with Rika. She always entertains, and under the Tsunku UFA umbrella, you never know what's gonna happen! It also helps that your brother from another mother is still down. :lol: cuz fuck...Rika goes beyond being an entertainer. Her philosophy is a way of life!  :pimp:

Just keep on posting, ranting, raving, proving THE BEST FANS live here at :hipheart:

Ain't no party like a JPH!P Party!! Cuz a JPH!P PARTY DONT STOP!!!  :otomerika: :yossi:

Reading your report made me smile Dai =D Brings back memories. Plus it was funny too hehe.
" double pumped Yossi's hand Thank You Thank You Arigato and hadn't noticed my fat ass had backed Rika into the corner LMAO so I gently gestured Rika back to Yossi. "
 LOL comments like this and more!  :lol:

Thanks for the interview!!! You lucky, lucky you XD Plus your Get Wild moment is classic.

"WE ALL clowning Rika including Yossi adds: "Tsunku? ..Haddo Gei." LMFAO!"
HAHAHA Oh Yossie  :heart:  :lol:

YOU only live once, get one chance, make the most of it. It's all cliche but so true.
True!!!

Not only meeting Yossie & Rika was the experience of a lifetime(that I'll never forget) but spending time with all of you made the memory even better!!
