Okay, call me stupid, but I have a question. I was looking up a buying guide for the H!P stores and it says you write down the item's number and how many of each you want and then at the bottom:
It's kind of both.

So you'll be writing in a rectangle (which I can't make on the forum, sorry

) But the rectangle has the first number for the category (example: Morning Musume is usually 3) and an X.
So like this:
3 _____
X ____
Let's say the picture is number 3784, and you want 2 because you have a friend that would totally love it too.
You'd fill it in like this:
3 784 X 2Fill in all the pictures you want in the shop. Let's say you get 3784x2, 4022x1, and 7669x10 (I think it's roughly the 7000s that are lucky dip items)
On the back, you'd write your name and in the total box, you would write 13, because there are 13 items total that you need. When the staff rings up your order, they check how many items have been run into the register against this to make sure that you have everything you asked for.
Does that make more sense?
Also sugar: I'm going to try my best to go to Takahashi's grad. I don't know when they're gonna do it, since she originally announced fall tour, which is December... but people keep saying September now. But either way, I'm pretty sure I'm going to try.
