I was wondering, are there any Idoling!!! events that occur during summer apart from TIF? I'm planning on going to Japan next year.
Well, there's Gasshuukoku & Nicohachi. But there weren't any nicohachi around TIF this year, probably because of preparation for TIF & the single release.
This year had the advantage that there was the One Up!!! single release the days right after TIF, so there were lots of handshake events in the 2 weeks after TIF.
This year also had IDOL NATION the weekend after TIF.
But what will happen next year is still far off...heck, we don't even know about nicohachi/shibuhachi for december/january , so I'm in the dark myself (even though I've already booked my flight)
There's always a bit of luck involved, which is why I make sure I go 2 weeks that spread over 3 weekends (preferably full weekends, but that's not always possible in the beginning or the end) and hope for the best
