^ 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
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
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
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
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
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
We were so HYPED...me and crispysoupchef chest bumped NBA style
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
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
The funniest thing about the Q&A was them "While you're waiting, watch their PV!!" and their lapper kept fucking up
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!!
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
The table we sat at was a typical boardroom table 10-11, I sat at the edge closest to Rika
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
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.

The shirt and plushies are awesome too! I hope they'd sell them in the Hot Topic here
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!
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
LMAO the phone call, that shit was linked? Too good
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
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
big ups to: Fen for translating letters, random shit I think up
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
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=18656.0MM @ LA/AX: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=18472.0JPHIP 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"
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?
