Les Morning Musume。
Invitées d’Honneur Musique de Japan Expo 11e Impact


Lettre d'Informations du 5 mai 2010


Soundlicious, en partenariat avec Japan Expo, vous présente les Morning Musume。! Retrouvez les 8 pétillantes jeunes filles durant le festival pour des séances de dédicace et une conférence publique !

En 1997, le producteur Tsunku♂ repère et choisit 5 jeunes filles lors d’un casting télévisé et décide de les produire au sein d’un groupe d’Idols : la première génération des Morning Musume。 est née. Au fil des années et des auditions, plusieurs générations de membres voient le jour. En 2003, elles sont 15 !
Dès ses débuts, le groupe enchaîne les singles avec des morceaux pop entraînants, alliés à des chorégraphies amusantes, faisant chavirer le cœur du public japonais ! En quelques années, elles apparaissent partout dans les media : le phénomène prend une ampleur incroyable.
Les Morning Musume。 sont aujourd’hui 8, comptent 11 millions de singles vendus et font salle comble lors de chacun de leurs concerts. Elles fêtent leurs 13 ans d’existence et connaissent un succès jamais démenti !
Ces stars du phénomène Idols sont absolument incontournables au Japon et font déjà des émules en France où vous êtes de plus en plus nombreux à les suivre.  Cette année et pour la première fois, les Morning Musume。 viennent à la rencontre du public européen… à Japan Expo !
Cerise sur le gâteau : à cette occasion, elles marquent le coup avec un concert événement payant organisé par Soundlicious, dans la soirée du vendredi 2 juillet, sur la scène musicale de Japan Expo, après la fermeture du festival. Vous pouvez vous attendre à un show digne de ce nom !

I just heard!  :cow:

Btw, IIRC the show will be longer than a usual concert at the Expo, but you have to pay a separate ticket to get in? Is that correct?

edit:

Yes. I am in! There is no reason for me not to go.

I just hope I can get everything organized. Last year, with AKB48, I had a friend with a credit card who pretty much arranged everything... I don't have one.

Morning Musume
Music guests of honor for the 11th Impact

2010 May 5th Newsletter

Soundlicious, in partnership with Japan Expo, presents you Morning Musume ! Found out these 8 sparkling young girls during the festival for a signing session and a public conference !

In 1997, producer Tsunku spotted and chose 5 young girls during an audition held on a TV show and decided to produce them under an Idol group : the first generation of Morning Musume was born. Through the years and auditions, several generations of members came to the light. In 2003, they were 15 girls !

Since their debut, singles with lively pop songs followed on, combined with entertaining choreographies, melting every hearts from the Japanese public ! In few years, they appeared on every medias : the phenomenon took an incredible range.

Nowadays, Morning Musume are 8 girls, sold 11 millions of singles and each of their concerts draws full house. They celebrate their 13 years of existence and have a success never denied !

These stars of the Idol phenomenon are absolutely incontrovertible in Japan and have already drawn some fans in France where the number of followers is increasing. This year, for the first time, Morning Musume comes to meet their European public...at the Japan Expo !

Icing on the cake : they will mark this occasion with a not free concert organized by Soundlicious, in the Friday 2nd evening, on the Japan Expo musical stage, right after the festival's closing. You can expect a real show worthy of the name !

so yeah, the concert's ticket cost 27€ according to Hello!France (http://www.hellofrance.org/les-morning-musume-en-france-8622)
for the signing and conf gotta get a entrance ticket which is around 12€ http://www.japan-expo.com/en/menu_info/horaires-tarifs_30.htm (http://www.japan-expo.com/en/menu_info/horaires-tarifs_30.htm)

Should I go or not  :bleed eyes:
I tend more towards not going because I can barely afford it but I'm also not sure if I want to miss this one so "close".

Why can't the flight or train be cheaper?  :panic:

btw. do you have to get an expo ticket (if there are such) + concert ticket or is a concert ticket enough to attend the concert?

From what I've read so far, you can skip the expo and just go see the concert. However, that hasn't been confirmed yet. Secondly, if you want to be at the conference/signing session and stuff you do need the expo ticket.

Looking for a person (or two) who can attend all of the MM events and give a formal news report out for new news site, www.OGfuture.com (http://www.OGfuture.com).

Of course, everyone is welcomed to provide their own personal attendee report too.

I will cover/reimburse the cost of the Expo/concerts if you can.

I'll provide guidelines for the kind of information I'd want you to keep an eye out for.  Even if you're not a great writer, as long as you're do a pretty good summary in English, I can polish what you submit. 

PM me if you're interested.  If you have any journalism experience/background, it will be a plus if I get too many interested people.  (I really hope I don't have to point out that this is for serious inquiries only. )

(I'd go personally but I'm committed to the Los Angeles AX this year.)

I'd love to go, but I can't even afford to go to AX this year.... unless I get a job in California....

Going to Paris is one thing....but going to Paris and seeing Morning Musume is just awesome....

I'm envious of those who get to go.

Hi Arie, I know you from H!P.nl   :P

Too bad Shi. Actually, I fear a lot of people already spend their cash on the various H@A events  :nervous

----------

New info!

There are 100 special tickets available @ 130 euro  :panic: For that you will get:

* A poster
* A T-shirt
* 10 badges
* A set of 3 Collector CDs
* A priority ticket for the concert (i.e. you get to enter before the masses!)

I'm actually kinda tempted, because I hate camping outside a venue  :nervous

Finally some schedule updates, I highlighted the important bits:

Quote
Morning Musume。are going to leave their mark on the 2010 edition of Japan Expo thanks to their exceptional presence as Music Guests of Honor.

Soundlicious, in partnership with the festival, proposes a real big live concert, on Friday night after the closing of Japan Expo.

There will be no free showcase apart from this concert but don’t worry, you will have the opportunity to meet your favorite Idols at Japan Expo during a conference and signing sessions.

- Public conference on Thursday, July 1st at 5.30 p.m. on the Main Stage
- Signing sessions… Days and time coming soon!

The signing session schedule has not been validated with the band yet: no need to worry, it will be announced very soon!

Glad I hadn't booked yet, I planned on arriving July 2, which would've been too late for the press conference!

edit: I didn't even see the main stage last year  :lol: AKB's conference was just in a corner of one of the halls.

I was considering selling my Lady Gaga concert ticket and going to see MM in Paris instead :lol:

I'm trying to keep my budget at 500e though, and what's causing trouble is the lodging. So is anyone still looking for someone to share a hotel room with, could offer a corner in a room or anything lol? If I come I might try to stay overnight from 1st - 3rd, then late july 3rd night go to airport since my flight would leave 7:40 on 4th... Just to save money haha. I don't want to go to a hostel because they seem scary to me. lol

Anyway I'm just throwing it out there!! If I can find a way to fit this in my budget then I'll definitely try to come... idk idk

wow shirenu, your Lady Gaga ticket :D :lol: Hmm. I thought i'd definitely go if i got a premium ticket but now that they're sold out I tought i'd just stay in Finland and save the money to go see MM in Japan o.o But if you'd share a room with me, it wouldn't be so expensive and it's MM in Paris after all :D :P
But I'm a "i get lost easily" and "can't do anything by myself" person so umm! :nervous

^ I have the same getting lost problem. :lol:  Helsinki was easy because it was like just a couple of streets... But I've been looking at the hotels in Paris and their direction advices are INSANE.. Just one example:
"Take the C6 (yellow) SNCF train and change trains at Antony station to the RER B train and get off at 'Châtelet Les Halles'. From there, take metro line 7 direction 'La Courneuve 8 Mai 1945' and get off at metro stop 'Cadet'. The hotel is only a 1-minute walk away from the metro station."

WHAT!!!!! That's like 57 stops and changes. I've never even used a metro before. WHy is it so complicated? Don't they have buses and... stuff that makes sense? :lol:

But yes seriously sharing a room would bring down the cost so much! Do think about it Fushigi :3

Can anyone recommend a good location for the hotel? Where would u Paris folk be willing to venture to help a couple of tourists? These hotels all brag about being "near the centre" etc. but I HAVE NO IDEA. Where is the Expo area even? How to get there? HELP :lol: I want to plan this as much as possible before I buy any tickets, in case I decide to go :lol:

As far as I remember the Expo area is right below the main airport (charles de g.. or somethingIcan'trememberthenameproperly), about 2 stations with the train from the airport.
Both are north from Paris so it's probably good to try to get either a hotel/hostel in the north or at least one that is close to the train that takes you there directly.
Sometimes, just for orientation, it can be useful to search for "hotel, paris" or something on google maps and it'll give you a selection of hotels with their position, though it doesn't have all..

I've been to the expo last year and I can give you quite a lot of info. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to know something specific.

Actually, I planned everything already but my friends canceled on me, which made everything too expensive.

I was looking at this hotel: http://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/etap-roissy-c-d-g-pn2.html?tab=1&error_url=%2Fhotel%2Ffr%2Fetap-roissy-c-d-g-pn2.html%3Faid%3D314924%3Blabel%3Dvillepinte-J_D0QY1PxrYscZNofehSAQS3512675188%3Bsid%3D84b589c659b62db5837168417dfa00e2%3B&do_availability_check=on&aid=314924&label=villepinte-J_D0QY1PxrYscZNofehSAQS3512675188&sid=84b589c659b62db5837168417dfa00e2&checkin_monthday=1&checkin_year_month=2010-7&checkout_monthday=3&checkout_year_month=2010-7 (http://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/etap-roissy-c-d-g-pn2.html?tab=1&error_url=%2Fhotel%2Ffr%2Fetap-roissy-c-d-g-pn2.html%3Faid%3D314924%3Blabel%3Dvillepinte-J_D0QY1PxrYscZNofehSAQS3512675188%3Bsid%3D84b589c659b62db5837168417dfa00e2%3B&do_availability_check=on&aid=314924&label=villepinte-J_D0QY1PxrYscZNofehSAQS3512675188&sid=84b589c659b62db5837168417dfa00e2&checkin_monthday=1&checkin_year_month=2010-7&checkout_monthday=3&checkout_year_month=2010-7)

It's on a walking distance from the Expo. The best thing is, if the room is shared by 3 people, it's only 40 euro each for two nights!

edit: about the metro, just take the B3 line from Gare du Nord to Charles de Gaulle airport and it should be fine. After about 20 minutes you reach the 'parc d'exposition' stop.

the easiest way is to get a hotel at Aulnay-sous-bois or anyway near the RER B.

I Hope the Q+A will be after the concert day  :)

via H!O

Quote
The removed the date for the q&a, The planning is still unknown but there will be a signing session and Q&A

Some FAQ were added today on concert's official website

No pictures allowed during live session, signing and Q&A.
There will be a box for present and messages.
Setlist won't be announced before the show.
Only official goodies will be signed.

We still don't know if we'll need to buy goods to access the sign session.


There will be at leat 3 lines

1 inside the convention center
1 outside
1 for pack momusu (maybe 2 ,inside and outside)

Début du Concert 19h30*
Fin du Concert 21h00*

1) I guess the easiest way for you would be to buy it online on the Fnac website at this url : http://www.fnacspectacles.com/place-spectacle/manifestation/Pop-rock-Folk-MORNING-MUSUME-MOMUS.htm (http://www.fnacspectacles.com/place-spectacle/manifestation/Pop-rock-Folk-MORNING-MUSUME-MOMUS.htm)

You'll have to click on the yellow zone where it's written "Réservez vos places". It should bring you to another page where you'll put the number of place you'd like to buy... and then you'll have to choose your payment mode. Then... hell, I'm screen-capping ...  XD

(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w231/Rainb0w_2007/momu-shi_01.gif)
(of course, you'll need to use a credit card)

It will be an E-Ticket at .PDF format. I would advise you to print it (of course) and also put it in an USB flash drive too... or just letting it in your webmail (I do this when I go in Japan with some important stuff).

Well, first number answered... As you need it quick, I'm posting this right now.

And taking care of 2) now...

2)  :panic:

So, entering to Japan Expo needs a ticket that you can buy here :
http://japanexpo.fnacspectacles.com/recherche/rechercheRapide.do?search=japan+expo+villepinte#a1275242728072 (http://japanexpo.fnacspectacles.com/recherche/rechercheRapide.do?search=japan+expo+villepinte#a1275242728072)
Yes, it's still monitored by Fnac...

In this page, you have the ticket for :
- 4 days.
- 3 days.
- 1 day.

(we hate number 2 in France)

For 1 day, you'll get this page : http://japanexpo.fnacspectacles.com/place-spectacle/manifestation/Exposition-JAPAN-EXPO---FORFAIT-1-JOUR-JAP01.htm (http://japanexpo.fnacspectacles.com/place-spectacle/manifestation/Exposition-JAPAN-EXPO---FORFAIT-1-JOUR-JAP01.htm)

They say "TOUTE SORTIE EST DEFINITIVE" which means that if you go out from the Expo you won't be allowed to enter once again.

You'll have to choose Friday 02, same day for Momusu concert.

For payment, it's the same method as above...

(http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w231/Rainb0w_2007/JapanExpo-shi_01.gif)

I can't go further for the procedure as I'm not going to J.E. but feel free to ask more here, me or sh15uya or another french will answer.  :)2

^ Yes, the expo ticket is for Q&A and signing.

Momusu concert is the 02/07/2010 @ 19h30 but it seems that the day of the special event isn't yet decided, I didn't notice that.

Plane & hotel BOOKED! No way to back up now!!

I guess there is very little info on anything yet? (the signing, the Q&A) So annoying. I like to plan things ahead lol.

Are there places to eat at the Expo area?? From what I gather, our hotel isn't very reliable when it comes to food... (lol....)

Paris people who aren't interested in seeing MM will still show us around Paris when there are no MM events, right? :lol: No reason why we can't do sweet, sweet hanging...

I don't think so (if I read the FAQ (http://www.morning-musume-leconcert.com/art-816-fr-autres.html) correctly),
all goodies will be available at the concert place too
and the only MM event is the perf, nothing else will be planned ...

Retrouvez les Morning Musume pour un concert événement unique le vendredi 2 juillet dans la soirée !

This page (http://www.morning-musume-leconcert.com/art-820-fr-foire_aux_questions.html) say that if you want to participate to public talk show or the signing session, you have to buy a Japan Expo ticket. It's only the concert that is accessible "outside" the Japan Expo.
Plus, the planning of the four days is not available so we don't know when the momusu will have their public talk show / signing session.
I think they will certainly have their public talk show and signing session in the same day and the concert the next day.... or not :/
If you want to be absolutely sure that you will not miss anything, yes, take 3 tickets, but perhaps only one ticket will be necessary.
Without planning, it's not easy to give you a piece of advice.
For now I use to check the planning page (http://www.japan-expo.com/fr/planning/) daily, hoping that when it will be available I will be able to buy only the right number of tickets...

No problem sh15uya, c'est pas facile de s'y retrouver, ils ont optimisé la présence web, j'avoue qu'en termes de com', c'est assez musclé.

So, Shirenu, if you can't wait... or are afraid to... and if you got the money... and considering that you'll quite enjoy being @ Japan Expo, yes, it will be, at this moment, a safe way to buy a 3 days ticket.

Haha okay thanks everyone :D One more question: Is there any chance for this event to get 'sold out'? That's really why I'm panicking about buying the tickets in time. If there's no fear of that then I'm cool with waiting until they release more plans, but if yes then OMG WTF I'm not flying over to Paris just to NOT be able to see them (other than the concert) ya know?? lol ... Well I AM flying to Paris because I paid for the flight already but >_>

^ I can understand you as I'm doing the same when I'm abroad.  XD

One day is ~12€ and three days ~30€ ...
Honestly, I can't really tell you if the event can be sold out or if it's better to wait... :/

If I were you, as my flight is secured, I would buy a three days... 20€ is not so expensive.

What makes you say that? More than 1 signing seems to be the norm, MM had 3 at AX and H&A had 2 at Chibi Japan Expo last year, not sure how many they had in Seattle though. I think AKB had more than 1 at last years Japan-Expo too. I'd be shocked if the guests of honour didn't have a signing at the actual Expo.

according to the FAQ, there is a signing session at the JE (you'll need a JE ticket).
Actually 'signing event' is in "plural" lol ( séanceS de dédicaces )...

Hello guys, I come to clarify some points:

- The announced signing session (1st July, 11:30am, @ Fnac Champs Elysees) is not the JE signing session. It's separate from the JE, at a popular multimedia store. It's where H&A did their signing last week.

- JE has announced one signing session (or more, since, like Sh15uya said, JE used the plural) that will take place at the expo center. So if you miss the Fnac signing, you still have a chance to go to the JE signing.

- At JE, only official goods will be allowed for the girls to sign. Only one signature per girl (meaning: either you provide 1 item on which each sign [like a poster] or 1 item per girl [photocards, one for each] ).

- At the Fnac, not only will it be only official goods, but they may make it "album only" like they did with H&A. And in that case, you will have to buy the album there (and show the receipt to be allowed to get in line). If you already have the album 10 My Me, bring it and try to ask if they allow you to go with that instead of buying a new one.
For those who can, you may also want to consider buying the CD the day before (so as to avoid losing time when everyone rushes in to get in line), keep the receipt and all, and present that when you are to line up. If they tell you to buy it again, do so and bring back the one you bought the day before, they'll give you your money back.

Hope this helps some :)

I'll post more info when it's made available.

One thing about the FNAC signing, expect prices for the album to be high. Last year, you had to buy a copy of an AKB48 single and they were priced at 35 euro, while the normal price is 1500yen/13.50 euro. I'm not sure it will be this way again this year, just giving a head's-up.

35 € for a single ?  :shocked this is madness

Was it the same price (17,50 €) at the H+A concert ? It was cheapter at the gig in Berlin MediaMarkt (12€) and 15 € at the concert. Can anyone explain me why there is such a huge difference between the countries?
Well its 21 € at FNAC now  :thumbdown:

I hope that FNAC will sell the Poster


I hope that JE will announce the Signing Session soon  <_<

^ The H&A CD was 21 Eur at the FNAC the whole time and then on the day of the signing (or 2 days before) it became 17.50 Eur.
I don't remember the price at the concert, since I didn't even look at the CD and went for the rest of the merch (which was the same price as in Germany, I had written down the prices you provided ;) ) so I think it was 15 Eur.

If MM's CD is 21 Eur now at the FNAC, it will be made 17.50 around the time of the signing, I bet. It most certainly won't be 35 Eur. I think the reason why AKB's CDs were so expensive is that they were the japanese version. FNAC will sell the american or european version of 10 My Me, so the price should be just like any other CD sold there (20 Eur is the price for a CD, 15 or 17 being the "green price" during the period of the launch of the CD. Mind you, some items stay in "green price" for a while).

OK Hi it's me again :lol: Tourist needs help
I just realized that our hotel is kinda far away from the train stop. OOPS.
Can you wise Paris people give advice on how to easiest get to and from the train stop to the hotel? I see some kinda railway or tram or whatever line on the map leading right to where our hotel is, what is it?

(http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/7470/mapthing.th.png) (http://img535.imageshack.us/i/mapthing.png/)

I tried to google for local transport info but :? no luck

EDIT: Now I got this: "The bus number 350 stops just 50 metres from the hotel, which takes you directly to Paris."
Ah I guess we can get with bus 350 from airport to Rue Anatole Sigonneau LE BLANC-MESNIL whatever the fuck that is and then walk to the hotel...
But I still wonder if we can also get to the expo the same way :lol:

EDIT2: OK apparently our way to expo includes 1. walking 2. bus 3. train, but whatever... :lol: I hope the local transport in France isn't crazy expensive... Maybe I won't be eating for the duration of the trip LOL...

lol this is like becoming my travel plan journal, sorry >o<
And wow this is all so complicated and stressful, especially cuz I can't speak French :lol:

OK I did another route search and it seems that all we'll need is bus number 350 to go anywhere (since it goes to centre too, in case we want touristing). :lol: I dunno why my first search gave me some wacky walk+bus+train thing to expo! (Actually, it still gives me that stuff, I think it's because it takes into account the time but I'm not looking for a specific time) HUHUH... I feel better now.

^ It's a "yes/no" draw. You have one chance to draw per expo ticket (it means that they will put a mark on your expo ticket to indicate that you already drew that day. But if you want to try several times, you can buy several expo tickets, I suppose  :P). But either way, even the draw will require that ppl line up early because in the bowl there will be a certain amount of "yes" and once they're gone, they're gone.


About the signing at the FNAC:
Franklin Roosevelt is the metro station (line 1, yellow line) near which the Fnac is located (see map beneath).

I researched the parkings around the area and here they are (in case anyone comes by car):
(http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/4172/fancce.th.jpg) (http://"http://img218.imageshack.us/i/fancce.jpg/")
As you can see there are several parkings around the area. But they're probably just streets in which you can park. If you want an underground parking, it's this one here (http://"http://auto-moto.118000.fr/v_paris_75/c_exploitation-de-parking/e_champs-elysees-auto-garde-plus_0145633409_C0000833151").

For the 3 days pass, you cannot choose your days. It's automatically Fri-Sat-Sun.

To keep the convo going and stuff, I have more questions ^__^

1) What is the expo area like, as in, are there restaurants, snack shops? It seems like we'll be spending many an hour there so it would be nice to know in advance if we're gonna starve unless we go get some snacks first...

2) I'd like to know when the first and last bus 350 and 609 of the day run = the schedules of these buses (weekends too). Any idea where I could find them?
Also, does the bus 350 return to the airport the same route as it comes from the airport? Sorry just want to be sure lol

3) Any Parisians who want to hang out (whether at the Expo or otherwise), could you please PM me your phone numbers because I won't be bringing my laptop and it would be nice to be able to contact you somehow? :3 (What's the country code for France?) Would someone at least take Fushi and me to see the Eiffel tower at some point :lol:

I would recommend getting the tickets in advance. You'll be able to get in much faster and easier.

Prepare for massive crowds though:

That makes me nervous eh, if there's an event at like 11:30 and u can get in at 10 and then only actually get in at 11 D: What if you don't know where to go and spend over 30min getting lost lol

Yeah, don't worry about it too much. Everything will work out. Everything is pretty clearly marked so you won't get lost  :) edit: at the expo itself are maps with where every stand is and you'll also get a booklet. usually they make a pdf available, so you can study where to go in advance  XD

Yeah, that's pretty much it. There is quite a line if you get there when the expo isn't open yet. I guess the lines will disappear when you arrive later during the day. There are also two separate lines; one for people with a 3 or 4 day pass and a line for people with a single day ticket.

Also, if me and Fushi don't have luck in the previous day's draw, this is our only chance to get sigs :/ Fuuuucckkkk

I mean I've been able to accept not being able to make this and that event but if I don't even get one set of sigs I'm gonna jump off the Eiffel tower lol.

SIGNING SESSIONS:
1- Outside JE:
Where? -> FNAC Champs Elysées (@ 74 Avenue des Champs-Elysées, 75008 Paris. Metro station: Franklin D. Roosevelt, line 1. Free to access). Directions (http://maps.google.fr/maps/place?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=fnac+champs+elysees&fb=1&gl=fr&hq=fnac+champs+elysees&hnear=Paris&cid=14054845202839685248&ei=PiQZTKL-G4b94Abwl52bDA&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDUQnQIwAw)
When? -> Thursday, July 1st at 11:30am

You can bring ANY MM item to the signing sessions as long as they're OFFICIAL goods, including for the Fnac signing. A verification will be made. Only one signature per girl (you can have an item be signed by different girls, or bring one per girl).

2- Inside JE:
Where? -> Signing room #5 (@ JE, need a convention ticket (http://www.fnacspectacles.com/recherche/rechercheRapide.do?codgrp=FESTJAP11A&nogrp=true#a1276825039158) to access). Directions (http://www.japan-expo.com/en/menu_info/access_43.htm)
When? ->
# Friday, July 2nd: 14h00 - 15h00 (2:00pm - 3:00pm) Draw*
# Saturday, July 3rd: 11h30 - 13h00 (11:30am - 1:00pm) First arrived, first served**
# Sunday, July 4th: 14h30 - 15h30 (2:30pm - 3:30pm) Draw*

* You need to go to the JE official booth and there they will mark your entrance ticket and allow you one chance to draw out of a box. The paper drawn will say if you've won a ticket for the signing or not. We don't know yet what time the drawing will be, neither where the JE booth will be located. Once you get to the expo, go to the JE booth and check the times for the draw.
** You need to line up at a certain time at the JE booth. Only a certain number of tickets will be given out but everyone who's among the first to arrive will get one. We don't know yet what time the lining will be.

There "may" be an additional signing on the 1st of July, but it seems more like a mistake on the planning than an actual signing session. For now, I'll assume that the Thursday signing is only the one at the Fnac store.

Momusu quiz 13.30- 15.00  :?
^ Yes, it's some sort of game organized by an association of asian entertainment, KajiaN: like they show a PV and you must name the song, or song blind test, or name an idol, stuff like that. There will be prizes to win for anyone who participates (don't ask me what, I have no idea, but I doubt it'll be H!P merch).


Probably, but they removed it from the schedule  :thumbdown:

^ Haha, oh well, they may put it back or change the date of it. I know that ppl complained about the time that it was supposed to happen, since it was a schedule conflict with the official MM stuff going on or sthg. Or maybe they just took it off. You can never know, with JE, until the last schedule is released.

Yossi is going to be the MC at the big H!P summer shows... but I think that's too vague a connection 8D Augh, I really wonder who it'll be~ so glad we have people going there so that we can get first hand reports! :lol:

Oh waow that's amazing!! :w00t:

Koharu's having that Shanghai unit with JunLin, so she's a decent candidate :D
Rika & Yossi just were here, would they come back so soon??
I really doubt it's any of the older ones like Nacchi or Yuko or Kei, but if it was Nacchi I would DIE. I may not be as big a fan anymore but what I once felt for her can't be erased that easily! :lol:
Nono has a baby, and having another one right? So not gonna be her.
Would Makoto or Konno have any business at an event like this :? I'd love to see Makoto tho lol
What is Mikitty up to these days? Doubt it's her but I'd kinda die a little if it was her, too.
Yaguchi?? LOL that would be weird but awesome

I'm thinking that Koharu is most likely. She's still very topical and it would be quite 'painless' to invite her along, since not that long ago she was still in MM. But who knows!

Whoever it is, it's gonna be AWESOME! :wub:

OK a few more things I'd like to confirm :lol:

The same tickets can be used for buses and metro right? And they all last for 90min?
I've come up with this motherfucking epic touristing plan (that can be split into two shorter trips if needed) that includes Louvre, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees and Montmartre XD So the 90min thing is important. Do you have to show the ticket to like a bus driver if you've already 'stamped' it and it's still valid? What about metros, whatchu do with them there?
Not really panicking about the travel costs still if it's only like 1.50e each :D

...And it is humanly possible to walk from Louvre area to Notre Dame, right? >-> The distance doesn't look that long on the map but maps can be deceiving...

...And it is humanly possible to walk from Louvre area to Notre Dame, right? >->

Yes, piece of cake. One small tip, if you're a student you can get a 'hop on-hop off tourist boat' ticket for like 8 euro. It's valid the entire day, it stops at all the landmarks and it's about a million times nicer than dealing with the metro!

Cheers!!
My plans mostly have a lot of buses :D They should be nice for sight-seeing too. The few metro stops in them are in the trips to and from our hotel and are unavoidable. T_T

Just sent in a bunch of questions to be asked at the conference even if I can't go D: I hope they can still be answered even if I'm not personally asking T_T I dunno how this event will work

Who here is going to the conference btw?? I'd like to give you the questions so that you can keep an ear open if one of them gets asked XD
Some of them are very obvious questions but some are a little more "wtf" :D

The same tickets can be used for buses and metro right? And they all last for 90min?

actually it works like this if you wanna change within the 1hour and a half :

bus/bus
tram/tram
bus/tram

metro/metro
metro/rer (zone 1)
rer(zone 1)/rer(zone 1)

Quote
Do you have to show the ticket to like a bus driver if you've already 'stamped' it and it's still valid? What about metros, whatchu do with them there?
you have to stamp everytime you get into one bus or tram. but with your plan there is no tram seems like it lol
about metro there are doors where you have to put your ticket in,and get it back :)
for the metro, just one door and ticket for the entrance, as for the exit you don't have to use your ticket.
it's diff for RER, you need your ticket to get it and get out. so be careful not losing your ticket while you go to the expo, cause you'll probably going to use RER B
also, your ticket+ cost 1.60 each, you can buy them in package of 10: 11,60, but that doesn't allow you to go to the expo. you'll have to buy a special ticket for that.
which cost more. just for your plan in Paris indoor, use ticket+ :)

hope it was clear enough, if you have other question don't hesitate :)

@ shirenu and all the others coming:

I made a guide and here is the part about TRANSPORTATION and directions. It has all the info about prices, maps, and where what is located in terms of metro/RER stations:

Transportation Guide HTML format (http://rapidshare.com/files/403341787/Transportation_Guide.zip.html)
Transportation Guide PDF format (http://rapidshare.com/files/403341788/Transportation_Guide_XML.pdf.html)


This is not the full guide, just the part about transportation cause I know it's the most needed. All the rest should be posted tomorrow :)
It will include:
- Japan Expo, the MM events (but ppl already have the schedule for those events so the guide is only here to provide more info and condense all in one place) and Wota guide
- Some sightseeing
- Japan-town in Paris with restaurants and karaoke
- Language and safety tips

Post by: shirenuファクトリー on June 28, 2010, 12:23:20 PM
^ That's MAD HELPFUL! But I'm still confused about some things :lol:

How will I know what ticket to buy if I don't know what zone each place is? o-o Is there like a ticket machine that lets you choose a destination?
For example, from our hotel to Louvre area:
1. From near the hotel (in zone 4) bus 350 to Gare de L'est (no idea what zone this is)
2. Then metro from Mairie d'lvry (or sth) to Palais-Royal
--> How much would this trip be? lol
Is at least the 2nd part of the trip "t+" so a mobilis ticket could be used?

Sorry for asking all these questions but I find this public transport very complicated lol XD
I'm used to being able to take just one bus or train wherever I want to go >o<

Post by: ChrNo on June 28, 2010, 03:30:20 PM
every metro is Zone 1 :)

only RER and bus can be out of zones, but usually one ticket+ is accepted in bus that go into Paris itself.

Gare de L'est=zone 1, i think that your ticket+ should be used for that trip, not too sure, i hate our system too lol

Mairie d'lvry to Palais-Royal = 1 ticket+ is enough, you wouldn't have to use your ticket+ twice don't worry, you'll have to be sure to know where you go tho, lol when are you making this trip ?

ticket+ and mobilis have nothing to do with eachother... you can use mobilis in your zones all you want within one day long.

Post by: shirenuファクトリー on June 28, 2010, 04:51:15 PM
ticket+ and mobilis have nothing to do with eachother... you can use mobilis in your zones all you want within one day long.
It affects the mobilis price though, whether it's the "inside Paris" area or more zones :O 
But I guess the 9,80 one would be best for a touristing day since it covers zones 1-4 which means our hotel and expo too... Then could just use that to travel eh!

I'm not sure what day the touristing will take place yet. It would REALLY HELP if they released info on when the drawing is for each signing session. sigh
I won't have a laptop in Paris so unless all info becomes miraculously available tomorrow, we'll be going there completely blind about all that stuff. >o< Anyone who wants to contact me then will need to do so by phone.

But at least Saturday the signing session ends at 1pm, so even if we managed to get there and were last out, there'd still be the whole day left to do whatever. o/ So I've been thinking that it would be perfect for epic touristing. HOOHHH

EDIT: lol just checked the weather forecast. Promises heavy rain for Saturday. PERFECT :lol:

yeah mobilis cost too much lol
and in zone 4 there is like nothing to see lol...unless you wanna go to the Versailles Castle ?
seriously unless you don't wanna walk in Paris, i'd rather use ticket+ , and the coming days are going to be so beautiful shirenu !
when are you arriving in Paris exactly ?

give me your phone number then i can be your guide for at least that part lol
edit : unless you come on Wednesday i have exams and have other priorities on Thursday ><
edit2:shit no more phone credit for int. comm until July the 8th T_____T but still can i have your number ? can i have it ? can i have it ? can i please receive the secret code that if entered telephonic-ally it will pass me through to you which means it will be your beautiful ass number ? can i have it ? no, come on can i have it ? can i have it ? can i have it ? can i ? can i ? can i have it ? can i have it?

Momusu photo cards that I'd ordered arrived today, TALK ABOUT LAST MINUTE lol tomorrow would've been too late because mail here arrives around 1PM!
Now if I can make it into a signing session I can choose between the photo cards or Onna ni Sachi Are leaflet getting signed... I still wish there was more info about the draws though, I guess we need to ask about it at the scene which makes me grumpy lol

I hope we can get a water bottle from the plane >_>

LOL every time I travel in summer I pack these light summer clothes and every time I'm disappointed and end up freezing. Well this time it seems like I won't have to worry about that!!! :lol:

Hey hey, little last minute preparation ^^
I have spare t-shirts that I had bought with the idea of customizing them, but I decided to use others in the end. They are unicolor, with no picture or text on them.

1 green (exactly Gaki's green), size L
1 yellow (the right yellow for Ai), size L
1 green a little darker than Gaki green, size S
1 green a little lighter than Gaki green, size S

This is a way to support your idols if you don't have an official t-shirt (or if you want another). The price is only 4€ per t-shirt, so it's a bargain. PM me if you're interested cause I won't bring them all if no one needs them :)


I also have various MM merchandise to sell (mostly photo sets L and 2L, but also the 9 Smile Visual book and Ai and Risa's microfiber towels). They are all new, unwrapped. If anyone who doesn't yet have an item on which the girls could sign is interested, PM me for details, photos and prices ;)

Post by: rokun on July 01, 2010, 04:10:51 PM
Ah, so you guys are talking about this here! :lol: I knew I shoulda come here before...

I've been keeping up with Reina's blog, and she has been excited the last couple days about going to Paris and arriving there. I don't have time to do full translations (plus she updates so much!), but I'll give some summaries so far...

Like Risa, she thought it was hot when she arrived, and remarked on all the fans who came to the airport to greet them, including the Japanese ones! She wondered if they lived in France... but guessed not.

On the drive from the airport, she also remarked on there being "no building and no traffic lights!"

She loved how big the beds were! But she doesn't know how to use the shower or how to open the fridge... so she wonders if
she'll be okay... She's a bit scared and nervous of not knowing what to do in a foreign hotel, especially since she's in a room by herself!

She loved the food in her first dinner there and took pictures of all of it, and said that french bread in France... tastes the same as french bread in Japan!

She woke up this morning well-rested, remaking France's beds saikou! And talked about her breakfast being bread, bread, and nothing but bread. :) Then was worried about her face being ugly today... so I hope her hipsters there are paying close attention!

Next she talks about riding in the car a lot from the hotel, and how she's really getting sick and dizzy from it... She wishes she brought more travel sickness medicine with her!

She finally gets to sight-see around the city, but doesn't know what any of the "cute buildings" are! She regretted not doing more research before coming... But she thinks it's like a world from a movie.

Then she mentions how the autograph session was just finished. French fans are genki! And they seem very excited.

But... it's so hot! Reina feels like she will melt!

In her last post she talks about how it's almost laughable how sick/dizzy she feels (the word she uses is what they use for people who are drunk. :lol:). It's been a busy day already. She had a recording with Mezamashi TV, and has had many interviews. They had fun taking pictures outside of the concert hall in their outfits!

More when there's more to say, unless you tell me "no more!" :lol:

I was wondering what Reina was saying about their trip. I used to read her blog, but she posts so frickin much, it became a bit of a chore, haha XD

They seem to have such a busy schedule .___.; I'm really glad they get to do a bit of sightseeing and such in between all the events. .... even though it makes Reina carsick XD (omg I know that problem, I hate not bringing enough motion sickness pills too! Haha).

Post by: rokun on July 01, 2010, 04:57:33 PM
Haha, thankfully I can read Japanese just well enough that it normally doesn't take too long to read her posts... and it gives me something to do while bored at work. XD But there are still some I miss, especially when she's updating a lot, because of the time difference (in the morning when I get to work I usually read the last 5 posts, even if she might have had more since the day before... and also I don't read much on the weekends when I'm not at work :lol:). Anyway, it's turned out to be quite good Japanese practice for me really. ^_^

New update: The A/C seems to be broken in the building they're in, and it's so hot! So they all had ice cream! Although... I think they're actually popsicles. Aichan had a really colorful one like they don't have in Japan, but Reina got her lip frozen to the popsicle!
Hmm, the pic is actually appropriate for jphip. XD

I think I saw Nimrod in 5:32 reflecting in the silver bus. I really think he is the big guy with the army-jacket, beard, tattoo and cap, waving his camera.

My girls were at the airport too, my sis called me the evening. She dragged my wife always after her, because shes too small and shy to meke herself place :D

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! :heart:

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  :)

and here is the translation :

Quote from: DirectSoir July 1st
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...

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 (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! :lol: 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. :lol:

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.

Wild concert :fap

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  :twothumbs so good decission to be there early.

ERI SMILED AT ME A FEW TIMES :w00t:

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!!

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!!!!  :yep: :heart:

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  :smhid



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

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.

I was thinking to write a Thank You mail to;

Soundlicious; contact@soundlicious.com
Hello project; mail@helloproject.com
Japanexpo; ?

Maybe a good idea to make 1 mail with our names on it, than that everyone send a mail on their own.
If they must read a bunch of mails thay got probably tired after 11 mails and they didn't read them.

So anyone have a good idea how we can do this?
Maybe mail to HP in Japanese?

You never know maybe they will organise something for next year?

Something for the admins to do this?

M娘巴黎開騷誘宅男
明報 : 2010-07-05 (星期一) 5:07 AM

【明報專訊】日本女子組合Morning娘及AKB48齊齊進軍海外,日前分別出席法國巴黎和美國洛杉磯舉行的動漫博覽會,如果以捧場人數比較,前者明顯優勝一籌。

   兩年前曾到內地、台灣及韓國舉行亞洲巡迴演唱會的M娘,去年又在洛杉磯開騷,成功邁出國際市場第一步,前日8名成員轉戰巴黎動漫展,吸引4000名歐美宅男及電車男粉絲撐場,現場氣氛異常熾烈。相比之下,日前在洛杉磯動漫展開騷的AKB48,只得3000歌迷捧場,氣勢上先敗一仗。

says basically MM concert in Paris topped AKB48 in LA 4000 to 3000 fans! Congrats to everyone who attended!

Ok might as well try and start typing up my trip report, but I guess most of this stuff won't have anything to do with Morning Musume HAHAHAHAH I don't give a fuck SUFFER!!!

Most physically and mentally draining trip ever, but still for some reason I just feel like  :rofl: <- that

Wednesday 30th
- took a train at about 12:50 to Helsinki, couldn't sleep, arrived in Helsinki at 22:52 or so. Met up with FUSHI!!! We were lucky to get ourselves a little bit to eat before McDonalds closed, then headed to the airport. We tried to sleep a bit but hummm at least I kept waking up. I think I was feeling too cold to sleep, which is like the theme of this trip LOL.

Thursday 1st - Our plane to Amsterdam left after 7am. Lala. Amsterdam airport was kinda fun. MIND YOUR STEP. I discovered that orange juice makes me happy :heart: Ahh... Dutch sounds like a mix of German, French and Swedish, it's fricking insane. :lol:
Um like 13:45 our plane landed in Paris. THIS IS WHEN THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG. :D We spent ages trying to find the spot where bus 350 would come, asked an info point like 3 times, they couldn't really speak English and were rude and their info wasn't helpful... The maps at the airport? Useless as well... Then we were sure we found the bus stop, but then it wouldn't arrive and there was no schedule etc. WTF! I tried to contact Kea to find out more info about the expo signing session, so that we could decide whether to go to expo (to try to get in the signing thing) or just straight to hotel because we hadn't slept much lol. We just decided to go to expo anyway. Well, our bus wouldn't arrive so we took a metro instead. I have to say that metro is the easiest to figure out when it comes to public transport in France, not that it helped us much because there was no metro station near our hotel LOL. But at least we could get to the expo...

The expo... OK. Imagine pretty much staying up all night, then being thrown into a place with  30+ celsius heat, craptons of people and noise... How is that NOT hell :lol: I felt sorry for the guys selling tickets cuz they were stuck in the sun >o< But still the guy who sold us our tickets was really cute and nice :heart:
Well we got inside the expo and tried to find Kea, walked by the J.E. Shop and didn't see her and then got a bit lost XD Then walked back to the J.E. Shop and saw her briefly. 'Sup XD Hum hum. Signing session was a no-no... We were gonna go stalk the signing session, but we were super tired and hungry and had no idea where to find the signing area (that expo is HUGE!) so we decided to just head to the hotel. EXCEPT we got LOST trying to find our way OUT of the expo ROFL oh my god!!!!

When we finally got out of the expo, it was already past 5pm. Went to the bus stop area, asked a bus driver if our bus was gonna run and she just babbled in French lol The story of our trip. Then we discovered that 350 wouldn't come anymore that day, oh joy. So we went to ask the info point how to get to our hotel, she also didn't speak English. (....) Then she gave us 2 tickets and kind of told us where to go, except I think we got off a stop too early but whatever. :lol: We ended up at Aulnay Sous Bois or something stop, then had no idea what to do next. We figured we were probably supposed to take a bus next, but we couldn't find a bus stop. Then after asking tons of random people and trying to find a map (and didn't get one haha) we finally got directions on where to find a bus stop. We had to go underneath the train tracks to the other side, then asked police men there and they directed us to the bus station. And THERE we had to ask like 3 different bus drivers about what bus would take us to our hotel. When we spotted our bus, the driver bus taking a break or something and we had to wait ages until we could actually get on. :lol: Oh my god. So in the end it ended up taking us THREE HOURS (or more?) to get to our hotel!

At the hotel we needed something to eat, so we went outside trying to find a grocery store. Walked to like 3 different directions and nothing. XD At about 20:45 we returned to the hotel and asked the info person on more info, but she said the store would close at 9pm so we couldn't get there in time. So we had to have dinner at the hotel, fricking 10,50e. *so expensive >o<* But whatever, I think we were just happy to survive that day haha. Went to bed at about 10PM and that was THE ONLY NIGHT THAT WE SLEPT IN A BED during our entire trip haha.

Friday 2nd
- The plan was to get to the expo early for the signing session draw thing, but we needed to get food first. So we finally walked and walked and found the store!! OMG never been so happy to see a grocery store before. Too bad it opened only at 8:30am, so we had to wait a bit. Anyway, got some ORANGE JUICE :heart: and stuff, so we headed to the expo ^_^ This time had no trouble with the bus 350, either.  By the time we got there it was still already like 10am though, and there were huge lines and shit. The sun was shining, SO HOT!!! But we did get in eventually, asked some French Momusu fans where the lining up was, found it and joined it. Lined up for like 2 hours and when it was finally our turn - NO GO. lol Somehow we weren't surprised because most things on our trip had gone wrong so far, and that could only continue :lol: After that we just decided to go line up for the concert to get nice spots. Except we again got lost trying to find the concert place, which turned out to be quite a long walk away from the expo. :lol: But yusssh we got there!!

We got excellent spots at the line ^___^ Not because we were near the beginning of the line, but because we got spots between TheKueken&her friends and Japanese wota behind us. After breaking the ice XD TheKueken was a lot of fun, it was really nice to meet you if you're reading this ^_________^ At first there were 3 Japanese fans behind us: A Junjun fan (who was cute doing the wota moves haha), a hardcore awesome Eri fan, and a female Aichan fan in yellow. But then later they were joined by another Eri fan, who was... ahh.. DREAMY :heart: OMG. Love at first sight. T__T He was so cool. When he arrived he was all sweaty (because it was HOT) and he kept wiping himself with a towel and was so sexy oh my god. I called him many things during the trip (hottis, hunkki, hunkkibebe, ihana, ihkubeibe?, etc) haha every time I talked about him I had to speak in Finnish because it would've been too embarrasing to have anyone but Fushi understand what I'm saying. I'm like telling Fushi "omg that one Japanese fan is so hot omg" XD I think I fangirled him more than I fangirled fucking Momusu during that trip hahaah

The lining up was so much fun!!!! Especially after they started doing a soundcheck inside the concert hall and we could hear the music. So everyone got in the mood, was dancing and doing wota things, yelling names, etc. I was too shy to yell anything though XD But yeah.... GOOD TIMES! Ah. My eyes had leaking problems again now and then but I felt happy with the mood rising and with the Japanese fans being so chillax and with TheKueken and Fushi being fun and the hunky guy being so close :heart: HAPPINESSS

When we got inside the concert hall, I got kind of close to the stage (2nd or 3rd row), but still not a great spot because they later added the hueg fucking camera in the front, and there were lots of heads blocking my view of the centre of the stage. BUT it was still a great spot in a way because there was absolutely nothing blocking my view of the very right side of the stage! So whenever a Momusu member came to the right of the stage to wave to us, I could see them perfectly and I'm sure they could see me too ^_____^ And every time I waved like crazy and smiled to give them!! Fushi, however, had to exit even before the concert started because she started feeling ill and she missed most of the concert. But she got help from a super cute staff member  :drool: and was actually quite upbeat when I got back to her after the concert :lol: "THAT GIRL WAS SO CUTE OMG" ahahah she was talking about the staff girl more than I was talking about Momusu XD (tbh I didn't want to make her feel bad for missing the concert so I kept my stuff to minimum haha)

The concert was great! I had to spend just about all the time on my toes so my legs were shaking and awkwardness, and I had to get support from the people in front of me so that I wouldn't fall down ahahah. But FUCK THAT I was there to have a great concert experience and I fought hard and I got it! lol ALL OF THE MOMUSU GIRLS WERE SO LOVELY!! They smiled so brightly and waved to us and ah. :heart: Thanks to my spot in the right corner, I'm pretty sure I had eyecontact with every single one of them, which is way more than I expected before the concert!! But I think it got confirmed that Aichan is my favourite member... Because I thought I was smiling *all* the time when someone came close to the corner, but when Aichan did it and looked at my direction, I just felt my face changing even to a bigger grin, which I didn't think was possible!! :lol: HER SMILE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN THE WORLD!!! Best moment of the concert for me was when Aichan and Linlin (my two favs before the concert!) came to the right side and did like a hug thing and looked at my direction!! It was like HOLY HELL THIS IS LIKE THOSE PICS FROM LINLIN'S BLOG!! THAT IS MY TWO FAVOURITES! THEY ARE SMILING AND LOOKING AT ME!!! AND THEY ARE HUGGING!! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!! Hahahahha OMG. :heart:

Aichan was having erotic moments on stage, omg some of the faces that she pulls are just AHHHH waow wtf! She did this groarrr sexy face once and I just about died. And then at one point she was doing some bum moving in front of me :heart: AIBUTT.COM!!!! OMG I love that girl so much!!

Eri is also... fricking EROTIC :D It's like you're watching them and everyone is dancing lala, then you see Eri and it's like WHOAHH what is that girl DOING!!! She was shaking her hair and omg. Her dancing is just insanely hot. If Aichan wasn't so fucking hot I'd vote Eri #1 in the H!P hotness poll next year :lol:

Everyone was lovely but I especially remember finding Mitsui cuuuute ^_^ Which isn't surprising because I remember people in LA being impressed by her as well. But yeah, that girl is so precious!!

And yup Yuuchan was at the concert as well, I enjoyed singing along to the classic Momusu songs XD I wasn't that surprised that she cried since I view her as an emotional person, but it was SWEEEET!! I love all the chants that she got lol.

After the concert, I love all their songs just about a billion times more than I did before :lol: And want to become a more active fan again, since I've been so lazy lol

I guess there's no more important details about the concert, so skipping forward. Kea had told us before that she and her friends were going to line up for the "first come, first serve" signing session overnight in front of the expo. Because we really wanted to make it to the signing session, me and Fushi decided to join them. But we figured that we probably wouldn't be able to get to the hotel and back conveniently, so ... we just went straight from the concert to the expo area to wait for Kea and her buds to find out where to line up. :lol:

So for the record, I spent the entire night outside wearing nothing but a sleeveless top, mini shorts and a summer scarf. Even the socks I wore weren't long ones lol. It also wasn't a very warm night because it was cloudy, windy and it even rained a little for a while. I FROZE TO DEATH. I reached the point of freezing where I would just shiver and shake and nothing could make it stop. I'm pretty sure this has left me long term emotional damage and I will not be able to enjoy a breeze of wind for a long, long time to come, because it will remind me of how cold I was this night. But I'm going to sauna in a bit so hopefully I will feel better then. :heart:

The GOOD thing about this night is, and which makes it worth it (...) was that the Japanese fans appeared again, and tho they were away from us we got to hang out with them for a few minutes, and teh HUNKIE was there and he was wearing glasses and he sat next to me for a little while TT__TT :heart: GLASSES!!! HOTTIE!!! HAPPINESS.... Too bad the J-fans discovered that Fushi speaks Japanese, but I was too shy to say that I do too, so they just kept talking to her and I just sat there awkwardly (staring at the hottie) ..... But yeah they were really nice and chillax again and ah I love hottie's voice (...) That little moment saved my night haha. Whenever I tried to sleep I just kept thinking of the hottie and ignoring whatever was happening around me hahaha

Highlight of the morning was when Fushi needed to go to toilet and we went inside the expo building, where they had already fenced off some areas. Well lo and behold, the HOTTIE :heart: came inside as I was waiting for Fushi before the fence, and I got to say "ohayou" to him :heart: tho I probably looked confused and scared instead of smiling nicely but :heart: He's so cool. I got to say something to him and he replied ah. T_T Things like these keep a girl warm inside. Anyway, I could also show him where he could go around the fence and he went like "ah" and OMG so sexy. HAhahah That is the 2nd reason why lining up outside all night was worth it. :D

Then... When the opening got closer, it suddenly started raining heavily and everyone rushed towards the entrance and me and Fushi totally lost our spots. Inside I was stuck behind another Asian cute dude and felt this need to lean against his warm looking fleece shirt, but I was able to restrain myself. Haha. But when we got pushed forward, I got whammed against his back so that I accidentally got a feel of his bum haahhahah omg. It's the little things that keep a freezing shirenu sane. But yeah then I moved to another spot and was suddenly placed so that I could stare at the hottie again. :heart: I think it was meant to be, it was just ridiculous how I ended up constantly in a spot where I could see him even if I didn't try haha. But I don't even want to guess how many times he caught me staring at him :lol: He probably thinks I'm a creepy stalker :lol: Especially cuz I looked like HELL at that point :lol:

ANYWAY when we finally got in so that we could go get the 'first come first serve' tickets we ran like hell - FOR NOTHING. I'm not sure what happened, but there were already a ton of people inside and all the tickets were GONE. Like wtf. Yes guys, we lined up ALL NIGHT, freezing to death, for what seems like nothing. SHIT! :lol: For Fushi and me it wasn't really nothing though for reasons above ^ Fushi had her own nice moments but meh not my job to type that lol.

It's funny how I wasn't really that angry or sad at that moment though. If I had thought about this happening before, I would've thought I would definitely cry. But nope, nothing. Just felt... nothing. Maybe I was too tired and cold to care D:

Hmmm after that we walked around a bit all confused. I realized I hadn't handed in my fanletters to Aichan and Linlin yet, so we went looking for the signing session where you could leave the gifts. Except I think you needed a ticket to get in to do that as well, but there was a really lovely French girl at the signing entrance who kept apologizing that she couldn't let us in the signing line, but that she could take my letters to Momusu. And that's all I wanted so yay ^_^ She was really nice, awww. On our way to the session we had seen the hottie AGAIN who asked Fushi if we had got tickets and laughed and said he hadn't got one either. (SO CUTE :heart: ) Then after handing in my letters we saw the Japanese Aichan fan standing at the side of the signing session thing preparing to take photos, so we went there to prepare to stare at MM during the signing as well. Of course we hadn't realized before that you could just see them there during every signing >o< But at least we got to see them there once. On Thursday we were tired and hungry, and on Friday we had been lining up for the concert anyway, so I'm not gonna bother thinking about what we missed. Haha

When Momusu appeared at the signing we at first had a great view of Aichan and a poor view of everyone else. Aichan's smile :heart: Then we were told to move because there was another event about to start where we were standing. But on the opposite side there was a nice view as well, especially of Mitsui, Junjun and Linlin who would wave to fans a lot ^_^ Mitsui next to Reina who sometimes took forever to sign, so she would get a lot of 'free' moments to look around and interact with fans. So cute :heart: And Linlin and Junjun were the last in line so whenever someone else was taking a lot of time, they were always free haha. It wasn't really a signing session, but a waving session. :D It took a while, but in the end I was able to wave to everyone, which is lovely ^___^ I tried to show a heart sign with my hands but I was still freezing (where was that fucking wind coming from to inside the expo GRRR) so my hands were clumsy and argh haha. But yooossshaaa I even got to wave to Reina finally, had to wait forever though because she was either busy writing or waving just to people in the front, but in the end she looked to the right as well heehee <3. It was nice!!

After that it was time to try to find our way back to the hotel because we still hadn't showered after the concert, hadn't slept properly, or eaten properly, ...or anything, and I was DYING to brush my teeth. :lol: On our way out though, we spotted a magazine cover of Hangry & Angry on the wall, so we walked to it and just stared at Rika-chan for a minute in respectful awe and silence hahaa so weird. We were just drawn to her and I didn't even want to leave that spot haha omg Rika-chan save us. TT__TT :heart: She's so perfect. She's the best. Uhummm anyway, eventually we realized we had to get moving so we did XD

..And then it took us over 3 hours AGAIN to get to our hotel. :lol: At first we were waiting for bus 350, but it just wouldn't show up (LOL wtf is it with this bus) so we decided to take the same route we took before. So we got on the metro ok, got to the other bus stop ok, ...only to discover that the bus that we took before wasn't running on Saturday. WTF!!!!!!!! We were told to go on another bus that would take us to our hotel's directions, but that "we would have to walk". Understatement of the year. >_> The bus dropped us what feels like in the middle of nowhere. We asked everyone we saw for directions, and everyone told us to go a different way. We walked a lot of zigzag, saw random sites where people had dumped their garbage, saw what looked like a slum, saw some weird site where like a building was falling down etc. ROMANTIC PARIS INDEED! I needed to poop so bad, I was dying. The last 10min of our walk to the hotel I could only concentrate on keeping the poop inside. I'm sorry that's TMI but seriously... Freezing in the cold? shirenu can survive. Getting lost for hours? shirenu can survive. But poop emergency? shirenu will BEGIN TO BREAK THINGS. OMG. WHen we finally spotted an ad for our hotel, omg, I can't even explain the feeling. Then when we finally recognized a place where we had walked before and knew the hotel was only a minute away, OMG. Unexplainable. T_T

Shower. Toothpaste. Toilet. WARM CLOTHES. BED. Oh my god. The simple awesome things of life that I will hopefully never again take for granted >o< Sadly our trip to the hotel had taken so long that we had no time to sleep (we had planned to take a nap) before we had to head downtown again to meet Chrno and hopefully go sightseeing. SOrry to Chrno for all the complications of meeting up :/ I hope after hearing about all our experiences you'll understand why we may have seemed tired and confused and weird ughhhh!

Because we had had so many troubles travelling before, we decided to already check out of the hotel and head straight to the airport from downtown. WHich meant another night at the airport with trying to sleep in awkward positions. XD But we were just so tired of the public transport at the point I think. Anyway, after a lot of hassle we were finally able to meet Chrno and HOLY HELL!!! She's like the female, singing version of daigong OMG!! So hyper so cute. She took us to eat TT__TT :heart: Which was perfect for our needs. Orange juice :heart: But for some reason I couldn't eat all of my meal. I feel so sorry to my body for all this trip haha. It must have been, and still be, so confused. Hmm after the meal I suddenly got REALLY tired. like BAM. It's insane. THe moment I closed my eyes I was somewhere else, just completely knocked out. If felt like I was in a dream world and Chrno and Fushi were just some kind of hallucinations :lol: I wanted to go see the Notre Dame or at least Eiffel Tower, but... it was just impossible. It couldn't be done. But I had promised to take a picture to Stryfe as a hunchback in front of Notre Dame, so here we go:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/notredame.jpg)

Stalking pic
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/happenin.jpg)

I was joking in chat in IRC how hilarious it would be to go to Paris and never even ending up seeing the Eiffel Tower. Well, that's exactly what ended up happening  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
FUCK THAT!!!!!!!!! I saw what I came to see :lol:

What then... Well we somehow got to the airport, I was falling asleep every moment I closed my eyes which was crazy. At the airport we tried to sleep, their chairs were fucking annoying and difficult to sleep in though :/ ...which isn't that surprising considering it was in Paris and everything in Paris is difficult and annoying. HAHAHAHAHHAH ummmm. Fushi was like sleeping on the floor, and at some point in the morning we wake up to some official telling her to move with people lined up behind him. And we realize that people are being shoved out of the place and there are military people and shit. We ask someone what's going on and she says there's a suspicious bag so BOMB ALERT lol. What a PERFECT ENDING to our perfectly FLAWLESS trip hahahahaha

But whatever, we didn't blow up. Everything was ok. Amsterdam still told us to mind our step.

In Helsinki we were finally able to take pics with the Moomin statue that Rika hugged:

RIKA-CHAN!!!!

In our series of the effects of the trip on shirenu...
Shirenu, tired but still decent in Amsterdam on her way to Paris:

Shirenu after gettting sun burned and lining up all night outside for tickets (but after shower ahh):
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/sunburnyes.jpg)
^ SO HORRIBLE :lol:


So yeah most of this doesn't have FUCK ALL to do with Momusu but I don't give a fuck I'm way too tired to write separate fucking posts now so DEAL WITH IT!!!!!

 :D :D :D :D

I MISSED JPHIP SO MUCHHH OMG YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST I REALLY REALIZED THAT

Lessons learned:
- Public transport in Paris is hell
- People at infos in Paris don't speak English
- People at infos in Paris are useful about 5% of the time
- Tell people in France that you don't speak French and they'll smile apologetically and leave, even if a moment earlier they were enthusiastically asking or telling you something

But also that:
- NICE PEOPLE WILL *ALWAYS* MAKE *ANYTHING* BETTER. SO BE NICE. APPRECIATE NICE PEOPLE. REMEMBER NICE PEOPLE. THAT'S WHAT MATTERS :heart:
- MORNING MUSUME IS AMAZING. THE EXPO SUCKED, ALMOST EVERYTHING SUCKED, BUT MOMUSU WAS AMAZING. THOSE GIRLS ARE WORTH LOVING, WORTH SUPPORTING, WORTH SUFFERING FOR HAHAHA. :wub:

A lot of bad stuff happened, but I know I will mostly remember and cherish the good. Cuz FUCK if I let some shit get me down when I've seen AICHAN SMILE, to ME! And a hot hot hottie Eri wota :heart: (...)

OK THIS IS REALLY RANDOM AND LONG. SORRY. K!! I'M DONE!

Oh!! fuck damn!! THANK YO FUSHI I can't imagine a better travelling partner for this trip. Even if things got stressful, we never yelled at each other or blamed each other for anything. That was pretty amazing. XD And when things got real shitty? We just laughed. Laughed and laughed XD OMG. I had a great time with you. Thanks for trying to keep me warm XD I think I was supposed to look after you since I'm older than you, but there were most definitely moments when you ended up looking after me XD If it wasn't for you asking random ppl for advice too, I think I'd still be stuck in the middle of nowhere somewhere. So THANK YOU PARTNER :heart: mind your step~

NOW! I'm done

Oh...

If anyone knows how I can find more info about the hot Eri wota. Please let me know. >_> Thanks!!!

HOLY SHIT WHAT AN ADVENTURE xDDDD OH MY GOD. I feel for you guys so much.

I guess all the people who were able to get in before you guys when you lined up all night had special premium tickets or something? D: THAT SUCKS. WHAT BAD PLANNING. The staff at the expo could have foreseen things like that and told people in the queue outside that it wouldn't be worth it @_@

I lol at the fact that your impression of Paris is kind of the same I was left with when I went there. Your list of lessons learnt, SO TRUE. OH MY GOD.

I'm glad the concert was good, second row, shit! AWESOME. Spotting hunky guy, EVEN MORE AWESOME! :D I hope you'll be able to come in contact with him again somehow~

Fushi does indeed seem like the perfect travel partner for a trip like this~~ I love that you guys just take this whole thing with a smile and laugh it off. That's how it's done! :D

dhjadhgkas I don't know what else to say xD Thanks for the report sirenu, remember all the nice things~ Despite all the bad things I'm still jealous of you guys. I would have loved to have been there xD

Btw: The concert was broadcasted on NicoNico, has anyone recorded it, and when will the broadcast a TV Special about Paris, any Info yet ?

There was also a booth with the C-ute and Berryz 2010 calenders for only 7 €, a real bargain, but the H!P CDs+ DVD costs trice of the normal price o0 and the H!P PBs for 45 €  :shocked

WOW!! Reading and re-reading your report LMFAO!! I love how you got such eye sexing experiences :D and you being revitalized in your interest in MM, I felt the same way too!

So bloody hilarious! I was in my bed, to comfortable to get out, reading this report on my ipod and I kept letting out weird laughs. The crap about the poop (...) made me laugh so hard, I almost smothered myself with my pillow :sweatdrop: There were parts where I'd start cracking up, so I stopped reading to calm down, then I'd resume, read the next few words and burst out laughing even harder XD

It sounds freaking awesome, I want to travel with Fushi and Shi :w00t: Such excitement, you make me want to get into H!P!!!

You've really made my day right from the start :D

This is a perfect reason for why I love

From Muten-Roshi H!O:
Quote
Please keep in mind that this might only capture the gist of what was said, probable errors include my japanese
skills as well as my sucky memory. Maybe others can try to fill the gaps. Obviously there are many things still missing.
I will not indicate the places where I am unsure instead I will boldly write down what I think was said.

Q+A:

Eri:

1. What food did you like in France?
-She had a plate with a selection of bakery sweets stuff. Among this stuff there was a gateau feuille like cake that she really liked.
(I really hope we will have a version of this conference in youtube, she was really cute answering that)

2. Something memorable about your visit to France?
- Eri sent a mail with an included photo to Nakazawa-san by accident. It was a photo of her apologizing (with a gesture if I understand correctly). She wanted to send it to her manager, but instead sent it to Yuko. (Sadly I didnt get the aftermath part) She was scared of angering Yuko?

At one point she wasnt paying attention when being asked a question smile.gif Which was apparent because she immediatly started to speak when she heard her name although the translater didnt even give the french translation yet.

Sayu :

1. What was your impression of the Concert?
- She was impressed by the momosu chant before they appeared on the stage. And she also mentioned being moved to tears by the happy birthday song.

2. What did you think about the fans here?
- She thinks they are really nice and cute. But she also vowed to fight not to loose to them in terms of cuteness.

3. What has changed for you after becoming a member of Morning Musume?
-Sayu said that she good the opportunity to wear cute costumes and that she realized her own cuteness.

Lin:

1.What do you do on a free day.
-Watch anime and eat cookies ??? (and .. some other things)

2. Question about addition of new members.
-LinLin hints that it might be nice to add new members from other countries...like herself and JunJun.

At the end every member said some final words. When it was LinLin's turn to speak there were many Ai-chan screams in the audience. LinLin reacted with:"Je suis LinLin" (I am LinLin) which was funny and got her cheers from the audience.


Ai-chan:

1.What are your goals from now on?
-To visit many different countries with Morning Musume (Sadly this was only translated in French so mostly the French and Japanese Fans were the ones who understood, so this was only met with small applause. Of course who would want to share? ^^)

2.She was asked what she thinks about a revival of shuffle units like SALT5.
-hillarity ensues... I do not really know why I suppose she stumbled with her words or said something strange.

3. What song fires you up the most? (Or which song fired you up during the concert?)
-How do you like Japan, She was very happy that the fans were so much into it.

She also mentioned that they met Fans at the Eifel Tower and took pictures with them. (Someone in this thread also mentioned the Louvre. )

JunJun:

It was her dream since childhood to visit Paris. I think she also mentioned that she wants to improve her French and/or sing a song in French (could also be that Lin said that)

Risa:

1. What do you do on a free day?
-At a free day she would visit Disneyland.

Reina:

1. What changed after becoming a member of Morning Musume
- She is more composed. In the beginning she was very outspoken and would show her discomfort with a situation strongly. Now she is more diplomatic. She said her goal is to think calmly and be composed, (i think thats what it was) ( the same words Sayu also often mentioned in her blog as her goal)

Aika:

1. What was your most difficult song to learn?
- Her debut song Egao yes Nude

@Blu: I did see a girl doing those dances but I wasn't sure it was you :lol: I mean, I thought the girl looked like you, but I didn't remember that you were someone who knows the dances, so I thought I was mixing you up with someone else I had seen or youtube or something. Hahahaha
:thumbup btw the blue wota guy was not a Reina fan but a Junjun fan! :P Remember the banana :D
Omg thanks I don't know how I could get that wrong :lol: I even thought about the banana *dork* edited the post :3

aah I don't have a youtube recording of me doing either of the dances I did in the queue, MM concert queue exclusive I guess =P

hehe when i first met junjun I told her I also liked bananas and the second time I asked if she'd eaten a lot of bananas in france xD she was too cute.
I'm still so happy about my chat with sayu about cuteness and hairties and pink and ribbons and stuff <333

Someone from here was talking after the concert with my sis? She said, a really nice guy from sweden bumped into them and they talked a bit. He said he is in a forum but she can't remember wich one.
If someone saw the two of them, two girls, a 21yo. japanese and a 14yo. blonde girl, nearly a head taller but they are looking nearly the same age :D
They hardly taled to anyone, my wife is very shy thats why I sent my sister as bodyguard with her :D

At friday the got both a signing ticket, at sunday my sister but gave it to my wife. They skipped the first come first serve, they didn't want to stay out all night.

from H!O
One guy said that he's from Nolife (the french web geek tv) and He told, they were the only one French tv who could do captation and pics for that concert.
He said that the captation for that concert was not planned for a DVD (seemed no adequate material), as for Japanese staff or French staff. (so normaly no DVD or a bad quality if they do one, as he said)

I mean come on that smile
He's in the upper right corner cooling himself down with the uchiwa at 2:42 -->
HE SAYS "KAMISAMA MITAI" at least that's what it sounds like omfg :lol: :lol: I bet he meant the guy selling the Momusu pics hahaha SEE HOW AWESOME HE IS

I'm actually sweating now.

I guess he won't be going to any more MM concerts after Eri graduates so even if I went to concerts in Japan I'd never see him again...... XD DANGIT
