[07/01-07/04] MORNING MUSUME Guest of honor of Japan Expo Paris (who's down P.1)

[nimrod]

I hope that I get some too, FNAC was a joke, some ppl waited since 4 AM and didnt get a ticket   

[twissie]

^
D: So was this a "first come first serve" kind of event, or did they sell tickets for it in advance? Either way sounds like poor planning/circulation of info if a lot of people were unable to get in, despite having camped outside since frickin 4am @____@. I can't even begin to imagine the disappointment!

Anyway, try to focus on the positive things! You got to see them and welcome them at the airport! Risa's blog is evidence that the girls really, really appreciated that!

[nimrod]

Yes, you had to buy a CD to get a ticket, and only the first 50?? got one, but there were much more ppl, maybe 200 I guess, and the first ones stayed there all night, but I rebooked my flight from 1. July to 30. June to get Autos there FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, I should had stay there all night too, but now its too late

That french tv clip isn't working for me...

[ChrNo]

i was with a friend yesturday who comes from south of france just for the Expo, we went to the Louvre and i thought i would be able to see shirenu but they were too tired after they landed 

the good thing is that after he went back to the place he spends his night, he sent me this picture : it's an article about MM at the JE in a free daily newspaper. i asked him to keep it so i will be able to take a better pic and translate the article for you guys 




edit : ok i forgot they have a site lol


so you can dl the pdf here :

and here is the translation :

Concert

JapanExpo is also the occasion to see popular groups from Japan. A lot of artists are awaited, like Anipunk, Ai Takekawa - who are playing tomorrow - or the Morning Musume which will do a phenomenal concert tomorrow night after the closing of the Expo.

In the same trend of the Japanese Idols, the eight girls celebrate this year their 13rd anniversary where they could see flowing about 30 artists since the creation of the group.

Symbol of the Idols phenomenon, this group has already a lot of fans in Europe.

Concert July friday 2nd during the evening, signing session everyday and conference on sunday, 12:30pm

the article title is a pun, with "quand la musique est bonne" and nippon, which means "when the music is good" -> when the music is japanese

haha nice...

[daigong]

^ I can't wait for you and shirenu to meet up, she is gonna get the shit surprised outta her!!

That's a punny article ChrNo thanks! Finally Japanese idols taking over Europe!

NOICE NIMROD!! Eri so sexy, glad they're taking full advantage of the weather!

[Blu-Cherri]

nah no jph!p tee, sorry.
Yesterday I was wearing a mint green lolita dress(with fringe clipped back and pigtails) today I'm wearing a white dress but with my wonderful hearts tee on top! =D

I haven't really spoken to other fans, got all nervous and unsure ><

Am still in shock after yesterday o.o

[rokun]

More Reina updates...

She fell asleep before she knew it last night at 10PM, woke up at 5 feeling like she slept so well thanks to the bed in her French hotel. The temperature in her room was perfect too, but she wonders if the concert hall will be hot! This is a perfect time... but is too early for her to be up, so she's going back to sleep!

...But she couldn't fall asleep again. A bit later she talks about putting her makeup on while listening to music - turning from 田中麗奈 to 田中れーな (a little fun expression she uses in her blog). Then she goes back to pics from yesterday, and a post nearly like one she made yesterday that I didn't mention. Apparently the little French bananas fascinate her. "Bananaman! So many!" I can only imagine how JunJun's reacting to it all. http://ameblo.jp/tanakareina-blog/image-10579448296-10619640535.html She might buy some for omiyage before going home...

Next is her breakfast! Bread and pastries again! Actually everyone was going to go to a buffet, but since Reina didn't, her manager gave her the bread. She didn't go to the buffet because she's not very genki in the morning... Poor thing. At the lunch break, she reflected on all the interviews she did in the morning and showed us pictures of curling her hair and turning from 田中麗奈 to 田中れーな.

Oh yeah, from yesterday she was amazed at it still being light out at 8PM (wonder what she'd think of our 9PM light here...), and found Dragonball on French TV! Except... it was in English? No, French... In any case, she couldn't understand it! Concert coming up soon I'm thinking...

Edit for new post: Just a short post to exclaim about Tom and Jerry. She found cheese with holes in it! That's right, I don't remember ever seeing Swiss cheese in Japan... And she's complaining about it being hot again. She says she must say that 10 times a day there.

[Blu-Cherri]

concert......so good....@_@ so tiiiiired now though.

OMG we mqde yuko cry!! She came on for an MC where they discussed MMs history and they played a bit of summer night, daite and furusato. Everyone singing along loudly, by furusato yuko was crying T_T god she's so cute and sweet!!!
For Sayumi we sang happy birthday after she introduced herself, she was so happy she didn't know how to react!! I want to comment on the setlist but am too tired and feeling like it's all a blur right now.

[ChrNo]

So how was the Concert ?

(...) it was great,
we made yuko cry,
aichan&eri=sex machines,
and momusu rox. lol

[arie]

 


Wild concert

It was the Pika Pika concert tour setlist.
They changed a few songs[Namida -321 breaking out] for Syshun collection/Tomo .
And in between Yuko with a very..... long talk and pv's [see blu cherri]

Bumped in the expo hall into 4 Japanese Otaku's and they searched for the concert waiting line I asked jp staff where the waiting line was for the concert was.
He told me that we must wait outside [30 degrees]  but thank god we could sit in the shadow.
So we were waiting there from 13.00 till 18.45.
At the concert we were at aprox. row 7  so good decission to be there early.

ERI SMILED AT ME A FEW TIMES

More later

[twissie]

Crossposting from the Risa thread again;

Concert FU━━━━━！！！！


It was so, so, so━━━━━ much fun♪(￣▽￣)ノ″

I was so moved
I really, really was...

Going back to ourselves after the show, the whole thing just seemed like a dream...

So there are people who like us this much in France...
Tears came to my eyes when I realised that people connect through song even across country borders...

I also feel grateful for the fans who came all the way to France from Japan just to see us.

The energy I felt from everyone today will become my strength to continue to work hard and to my best.

Thank you so much!

Merci!!

Risa..

It was so hot, enthusiastic, and filled with love. I think I want to report on different sections of the concertＯ(≧∇≦)Ｏ !!
It was so pretty with lots of glow-sticks~~~☆☆☆

And everyone joined in on the singing...

We had to do our best so that people will say that they want us to come back to France again!!

It was such a wonderful time, thank you so much

Kimagure Princess excerpt:

[nimrod]

Lolz, we bumped into Morning Musume at the Eiffeltower and they asked if they could make photos of us, later they asked for a groupshot with them (incl. VideoCamera) ♥ They waved all the time to us ♥ And Reina has seen the Tattoo and said "eh sugoi!!" and asked if she can make a photo!

AWESOME DAY!!!! 

pics by oroboras   




But for the first half of the day: We were in front of the JE entrance all night, to be the first one at the Info point, but no the fucking weather destroyed everthing, because everyone ran to the entrance hall after it started to rain, and so were our best seats and a sleepless night for nothing + the Premium Expo Ticket owners could already enter the hall at 9.00 AM, so we had no chance for a first come first serve ticket, thats so retarded 



PS: The MM concert was fucking awesome (2nd row, middle, with glowstick power), much better then the tokyo gigs 

NOICE NIMROD!! Eri so sexy, glad they're taking full advantage of the weather!

U meant Reina didnt you ? :p

That's so frickin' awesome, oh my god, haha. Absolutely epic! Congrats! :DDDDD

[nachdenki]

lol nimrod, GJ

rough translation:

Look at thisss.

Today we went to the Eiffel Tower and met some fans.
I noticed a Reina tattoo on the arm of one person (when shaking hands?).

I'm very happy.
A tattoo lasts the whole life doesn't it?
So I'm very happy someone got one.

That's so cool.

I'm really thankful.

[Amplifier]

nimrod, you are so awesome, and I am beyond jealous. Congrats brother!
