Yoyogi concert shonichi!
Today we had a concert in Yoyogi!
By all rights, this should be a report on the concert,
But due to the various announcements, these will be done another day.
At the end of the performances the fans were asking,
"Is there really no surprise?"
But in terms of AKB48's surprises, I think today's announcements are not very huge.
Rather, they're quite run-of-the-mill..
And now, the contents of the announcements:
October: Milan concert
November: Singapore concert
November: Macao concert
September: Yakushii Temple Outdoor concert on the 26th
November: New unit NMB48 will be formed based in Namba, Osaka.
Official site will be launched today at 9pm.
Registrations for 1st generation auditions will begin concurrently.
See you tomorrow!
Ah.
Today with the help of various fans, we were able to expose a great
Number of people who were trying to take upskirt photos.
Even the photos were given,
And it's thanks to fans that support AKB to the fullest, that they can carry out their work.
To the fans that didn't pretend and turn the other way,
There is only heartfelt gratitude.
Tomorrow too, we'll have a great live performance!
I cannot begin to describe how I'm feeling at the moment.

CONGRATS MAL
-
whoa..a concert in ITALY!? :w00t:
congrats Mal! apologies if you're not in Singapore..wonder where is Macao?
-
wonder where is Macao?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macau)
Some SKE members went to Macau recently as well!
Anyway, awesome for you Mal :) make us proud XD
I might be up for Italy if the date is convenient...
-
For the first time in 100+ post I think I'll let pics do the talking for me;
:? :? :?
:O :O :O
:shocked :shocked :shocked

mal, I hope you can go! Maybe I won't be piss poor by that time and can join you :hump:
-
YEAH MAL :thumbsup :thumbsup
-
Don't have a clue how plausible my idea is but I'd LOVE to see them in Milan. Although it all depends on my uni arrangements and costs
-
@maliciel OMG you just made my day.
cannot describe the feelings rushing through my head. tell me im not dreaming please!
update us please! Ohmy singapore kyaaa~
-
Oh, you're Singaporean? :lol:
It's probably happening at AFA2010, it usually happens at that time.
-
fufufu~ i have hidden it long enough. well, you are, too! :grin:
thought u could derive from when i spoke in the attending uni thread. heh, nobody knows the education system better than the locals ^^
i have heard from my friend that he's speculating AFA too. no surprises. heard last yr's tix was $108.
but my biggest fears would be working on that day.
well for someone like you who have ORD-ed alr, not a big issue :p
me, haha, still singing purple light.
-
Suspected it, but you talked like you didn't really know what National Service was. Isn't 108 the whole 3 days or whatever? Because that's more expensive than WOMAD, if not.
-
felt like masking my identity so i pretended not to know u were referring to NS. or unis like NUS
dont have much tendency to reveal alot of myself online usually.
oh, yea i heard its quite ex. last yr it lasted 2 days frm 21 to 22 nov.
i really hope i wont have to work on the weekend.
-
He is right
The ticket cost $108 for last year AFA 2009 and it is only for one day concert pass...2 day concert pass cost $188
http://www.afa09.com/i_love_anisong.html (http://www.afa09.com/i_love_anisong.html)
I highly doubt AKB48 will perform both days so it will probably be just for one day
Ticket price expensive? That's what you expect from SISTIC after all
-
^ Welcome to JPH!P, IcePrince! :welcome
I cannot begin to describe how I'm feeling at the moment.
Awwwww shit! We gotta get you a press pass :jphip:
-
I've only been involved with Sistic a few times, and with the Esplanade Concert Hall they're definitely competitive. Especially considering it's a very good venue, acoustically. I don't really care about the entry price, really. But I sure hope they don't span it over both days.
And yeah, I'm just waiting to see. Once the AFA site is up I'm trying to see if I can cop one. Shit man, I'll do whatever it takes.
Here's a protip: Apply for leave fucking early.
-
prices are secondary, for AKB its worth it!
yep leave.. guess ill consider that. was searching ard for afa 2010 but the site is not up.
hope everything confirms, then ill settle stuff once and for all!
-
yes indeed,i don't think anyone will mind about the price as this is such a great chance to see AKB48 performing
i will do what it takes too in order to see them
Thanks for the welcome btw,Masa
-
^ and welcome you too :P
mymy i smell rivalry, when two people begin claiming takamina as waifu.. what happens?
-
We'll settle it with a battle of life and death..
..otherwise known as Jankenpyon (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=25649.0).
-
We'll settle it with a battle of life and death..
..otherwise known as Jankenpyon (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=25649.0).
very well,there can only be one claiming Takamina as waifu...
let's do it
-
singapore here i come!!! :thumbup
i gotta start preparing maps of the candidate venues just to be sure 8)
-
We don't have many venues, and like I've said before, Singapore isn't very big :lol:
-
I cannot begin to describe how I'm feeling at the moment.
Oh dang mal! You better get your suit ready and be prepared to get that waifu of yours! :lol:
-
^Singapore is totally small. Agrees.
there's honestly nothing much here, and public transport by train gets you almost every corner of the island.
aprrox an hour frm end to end, which really shows how small the place is.
and if everything is centered on the.. town area, then travelling is made even easier.
maps will be [more] useful if you intend to visit like certain landmarks/attractions and stuff. heh
-
FUCK YEAH! Mal represent da SG AKB Faithful.
No doubt we gotta holler at AFA10 and get us all pimped for this shit :jphip:
-
I think I will be able to see them in Milan, I prefered Paris (I'm French) but I really want to go to a concert !!!! :farofflook:
-
Latest rumors state that the Milan concert will be on the October 14...
-
Anime Festival Asia website is up and there's no sign of AKB48! (there's Scandal though...)
http://www.animefestival.asia/index.html (http://www.animefestival.asia/index.html)
(thanks to the guys at AKB48 (Overseas Fans Community) for the heads' up)
Doesn't mean they're not coming. Might be a stand alone concert.
-
wow this is awesome
i wish i can go... haha :3
-
Well... it's October and not a single word on the Milan show.
That's really disappointing. Even if they would announce a show in October at this point, I think a lot of people would think "screw it." Too short notice to get everything planned and stuff.
-
http://www.facebook.com/animefestivalasia (http://www.facebook.com/animefestivalasia)
AKB48 'Live' at AFA X will take place on 2010.11.12
-
Milan has been officially postponed to a future date and they're now to do a show in russia.
-
Those are magic words for me. But people say it was a joke.
-
LOL
there aren't akb fans in russia haha
-
hmm I dunno about jokes or not :/ I just heard it at s48
-
LOL
there aren't akb fans in russia haha
Sadly, you're right. But you should count at least one fan here. And I can name a few others. Sure thing that isn't enough even to fill your AKB theater let alone a big concert hall...
Then maybe it was Basil's Cathedral in the clip of Heavy Rotation that brought these rumors. Strictly speaking, AKB has no business here.

Это просто случайность. Не придавай этому даже значение. Никто в здравом уме не поедет в страну в которой всегда холодно и медведи ходят по улице. Тут их не знают. Даже интересующиеся Японией люди не подозревают о существовании akb48. Зайди на любой аниме форум, имиджборду, нету тем/дискуссий даже среди гиков, поэтому шансы увидеть akb48 в России равны нулю. <- only for nikorai
-
Anariel
Well, I know at least one forum (in Russian) with over 50 pages of messages. But if you have eyes, I wrote exactly what you say – AKB have no business here.
And I suggest to leave this topic for now. Without any concrete information the discussion doesn't really bring us anywhere.
-
only for Anariel - Извините что вмешиваюсь в вашу дискусию, но уж например форумы типа jidol.ru наверняка вы должны знать, если не знаете то тут уж ничего не поделаешь. Лучше бы порадовались вместе со всеми русскими фанатами.
-
so, after the announcement that they may perform on 12th in singapore
is there any of you guys who'll attend the show?
me and some fellow from indonesia will be there.
And my intention is, to get SEA wotas watch the show coordinately :yossi:
That's only a suggestion, so please don't ask me to do so :doh:
-
Ah, yes, we'll be attending. We have a group on FB here:
http://www.facebook.com/# (http://www.facebook.com/#)!/group.php?gid=121283697924935
We also have a t-shirt! :lol:

The best 3 days of my life.
When AKB48 arrived, we tried our best to organize a concentrated reception for them. It took some sleuthing, but we found out the terminal and exactly when they arrived. After that it was just a matter of waiting for them. When they came out it was fucking hell breaking loose. People screaming, passing fan letters, taking photos. We at SGP48 managed to get our gifts for them (We had prepared 16 t-shirts for them, the same ones we wore for the reception/concert) given to the manager, and they stowed them away. All of them are way prettier in real-life, and Mariyannu actually walked up to me to take a photo of my sign! Once behind the glass of the arrival hall, and another when she was walking out. I melted right there. She's so beautiful.

Aamin taking a photo of the fans.
AKB48 in Singapore #2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhtZ_0vQfQo#ws)
Them walking out. You can see Mariyannu pause and pull out her cellphone. That's where I was. The footage was taken by someone else with my camera.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/97185/camera/P1020767.jpg)
My sign for Mariyannu, that will now be enshrined forever.
The concert was fucking mindblowing. There was an industry-level meeting/seminar just before the concert, and Aki-P was a part of it. I was in school, so I didn't get to go, but apparently some cool shit went down. One guy from SGP48 even got a 2shot/signature from Aki-P. Really regret not skipping school. Meanwhile, I was stuck in a traffic jam and train malfunction fuckery meant I reached there just as Overture was about to play. The concert moved along really quickly. They started with RIVER, Oogoe and Aitakatta. It was really fucking awesome. I don't particularly like RIVER (as some of you may already know), but damn, it is fucking awesome live.
Then they started with the self-introductions. They did this in mostly English, with many of the girls forgetting what they were supposed to say. It was pretty hilarious trying to remind Ayarin that oishii was delicious. Tomo~mi introduced her nickname as Chiyuu, which is awesome and probably because she saw the sign for her. Sato Natsuki shone at this point. She pretty much sounded like a native speaker. She didn't say much, but you can tell she's been working about it. Blows Sayaka out of the water, definitely. Nonaka Misato's part was funny because she forgot how to say 'nickname' and we pretty much just screamed 'Micha!' and then she was like 'Ah! Micha!' before we erupted in cheers. Kana mentioned how they saw all the pink when we received them. We were fucking estatic; they got our shirts and we got mentioned in the MC. It was totally worth the logistical nightmare that followed the ordering of the t-shirts. The girls were really cute, and Mariyannu omg <3.
Self Intro MC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM5dGdGs3Mw#)
I don't think I have to tell you which voice I am.
After that they moved on to the next block, consisting of Pajama Drive, Candy and Kimi wa Pegasus. This was a little weird. We never expected the lineup of Mayu/Harugon/Haachan for Pajama Drive, especially since 4/5 of WaRoTa were there. Was really fucking awesome, especially since we got to see Harugon's thighs. Candy was really fucking good, too. Komori/Amina/Kasai pretty much destroyed the stage. I wasn't looking at anyone but Kasai, for pretty obvious reasons. The song is way better when you can see thighs and tummies clearly. Pegasus was expected, but so awesome. Nacchi is a natural performer for sure, and Wasamin didn't look out of place with the rest of the girls.
Then it was time for another MC! This time it was led by Mariyannu (fuck yeah)! They talked about their impressions of Singapore. Micha noted that shopping in Singapore was hard because she didn't really about the money. So she just opened her wallet and made the people take the correct amount from it. That was so lol. The girls thought the girls were 'kawaii' and the people were kind. It was really cute how they tried to speak english as much as possible. Mariya is a great MC! Aamin mock-complained about how everyone only said 'mayuge bo~n'. Then she did it once. So awesome.
Mariyannu MC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3kYIoAg6F8#)
The rest of it was just a bunch of singles again: 10nen, Iiwake, Hikoukigumo, HR, Beginner, Ponyshushu. We didn't expect them to bust out Hikoukigumo so early, but they did. We called for encore after HR, each hoping against all hopes that they'd show up in pink. But of course, they didn't. Beginner was cute, Komori took center stage. Was pretty funny, she actually messes up the dances quite often. But Beginner live is great. The concert ended with the usual thanking of the audience. Our plan to sing Chiyuu a birthday song failed because no one led. But she started crying a little towards the end. Maybe she did actually love that we came down to see them ;_;
After the concert it was a mad rush to get a taxi; we knew they had 2 flights to go back to Japan, but they were in different terminals.
We went to Terminal 3 (it had the earlier flight), but the cab trailing the bus saw it turn into Terminal 2, so there was a mad 300m dash to the train linking the two terminals, and then another dash to where they were checking in. They were significantly early, no doubt wanting to avoid fan hordes. We managed to get close to them as they walked into the departure area. Mariyannu saw my 'Mariyannu mata kite ne' sign and waved. Died again. She was so pretty. I wished Tomo~mi a happy birthday and she was like "ah! arigatou'. So cute. They turned around and waved before presenting their passports. And just like that, AKB48 was gone as fast as they had arrived.
It's been an awesome week. 会いに行けるアイドル indeed. Photos by kohilist (http://sgp48.mamemoyashi.info/Photos%20by%20Kohilist/). Thanks to Kieyuku from Melos no Michi (http://melosnomichi.blogspot.com) for the setlist. And if there are any other SG fans around, thanks for not being shitty fans and supporting SGP48's initiatives.
-
Awesome stuff Mal, I'm happy for you :twothumbs
I was in school, so I didn't get to go
wtf! You could learn more from Aki-P than you can at any school :lol:
-
Make that JPHiP represent x2! Here's how it went for me...
Because of circumstances better discussed elsewhere, my decision to see AKB was pretty last minute. Just within a week to go I decided to wing it and book everything. Disaster struck though as I was sick on Monday and even by Wed I was feeling bad. Work in the day and sleep all night, no time to get excited online.
Friday came and I felt better but the schedule has drained alot of the enthusiasm out of me. It wasn't until halfway in the journey to Singapore that it hit me. Reached the Lion city and made a dash for my return ticket home. Then dashed to Suntec to grab my AKB tickets. Body was soaking wet when I reached the Mall/Hall and a chill came down my spine... as the air conditioning hit me.
I finally found the ticket counter but there was a little gathering in front of it. As I got closer I noticed that it was non other than Akimoto-sensei being surrounded by his slaves fans. I quickly moved towards the crowd but it looked like he had done signing stuff and quickly made off to his lair. He was quick small in stature but that was not surprising. So after that nice distraction, I got my ticket. Sniff... only free standing is all I could afford.
Got my $2 dollar blue glow stick and waited in line for the big show. The doors open and we all moved in. At the free standing area there was a barrier that separated us from the cat A and B seats. I moved quickly to the barrier and had a clear view of the arena. To the left of me were a couple of loud and chatty fans and it was great listening to their banter. To my right was a quiet guy but it seemed like he knew his AKB, just shy. There were a couple of false starts like 2 warnings about no filming and pictures, but once Akimoto-P made his way in and took a seat among the crowd we all knew that "it's not long now".
The lights dimmed and the Oveture never sounded so sweet. The noise, the shouting, the glowsticks, this was how it was suppose to be! The crowd was getting pumped up and when the girls moved into place everybody went crazy! I was also loosing it but then a little disappointment, I was too far away... But nevermind, they're still there in front of me! What would they start with? Komori let us all know with a weak A! K! B~~~~!...... 48! RIVER! I don't think any of us at free standing did any of the mixes (even when some kind soul was passing out instruction papers). The most we did were singing certain lines and making random noises.
The concert list can be dissected any way you want but what I came out with was how much fun waving a glowstick can be. My favorite moment of the concert was when mic stands came out and Heavy Rotation began. It seemed like the song that everyone was singing along to. You know the lines right? I want you, I need you, I love you. Fantastic. Finally I think I get this song. Encore was messy as everyone wanted to do it their way but how can you compare overseas concert virgins to the hardcore 100+ theater show wotas in Japan?
2 final songs and it was all over. Many complain, quiet reasonably, that it was too short. I agree, but how much is enough for us hungry fans? We could had stayed there for another 3 hours easy. Without much of the top members though it would be a waste. I was busy finding my way back to my ride home. AKB withdrawal struck me pretty hard in the hours of the journey. I was hooked. I know now why people pay for this. AKB48 is special.
-
Nice reports guys! Glad you have fun!
AKB withdrawal struck me pretty hard in the hours of the journey. I was hooked. I know now why people pay for this. AKB48 is special.
Yup, I felt the same way. In the weeks leading up to their appearance in LA, I thought to myself, "Awesome, I'm going to see AKB48 in concert! 8)" After all was said and done, it was more like "ZOMFG I JUST SAW AKB IN CONCERT OMFGOMFGMOMFG RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE SUPER WIN!11!!!!1! :twothumbs" It really is an experience, especially for those of us in different countries who don't often get to see them.
-
Yeah the encore call was a bit messy. There were some people who don't really get the concept of timing. Should've hit me up if you wanted some help with tix.
-
Make that JPHiP represent x2! Here's how it went for me...
make that 3 with me :lol:
honestly, i don't have anything to share or report, because that day was soooooooo fukken awrsome,
the best experience in my life yet,
seriously i cannot think clearly until now.
Since i was there in the left corner (and front row of course, my seat was A04) there're so many mind blowing moment,
i can't remember which member who approached me, how many times the members looked at me, how many times they wave their hand,
but what i can remember until now are :
1.Before the concert started, i saw some man with suit walked so fast in front of me, i can tell that they're the staffs. But after a nano second, i saw a man, big man with glasses and grey suit. HEY, that's aki-p, without thinking i shouted "AKIMOTO SAAAAAN" and he just show his left palm :hand: as he goes by. After that, all fans just started to call aki-p for countless times.
I know, i can't compare that experience to the others who got aki-p's sign and 2 shot, but still to have him response to my call personally, that was too awesome.
2.My group got 2 big waroka posters, (Gyu, and their album).
So at the and of the show, we got harugon and ayarin's attention.
Ayarin showed us some gyu dance, and harugon just smiles and..... :inlove: nah, i can't describes it.
3.Amina, when i waved my hand to her, she personally waved her hand back to me, and i'm sure of that, and she looked more cute, and not as bulky as we usually seen on photos.
4.komori, there's a moment at the end of the show where komori approached the left corner at the stage. I shouted as loud as i can "KOMORIIII SAAAN", then she looked surprised, and reacting strangely. But she's so cute there.
5.And the best part of the concert was when rabutan, looked into my position (i write that because i'm not sure if she looked at me or the others). and... and... and... :bleed eyes: :banghead:
i think that's because i called her name countless time before the show started until i left the venue. And when she introduced herself at jikou shoukai session, i yelled "rabutaaaan daisuki".
So i think that's more than enough to catched her attention.
i apologize for that messed up report, but once again, seriously, i can't remember clearly what was it like.
the 1.5 hours moment back then just too amazing.
-
I made it onto Mariyannu's blog (http://ameblo.jp/mariyasuzuki/entry2-10707261584.html)
-
Awesome!! Huge smile haha. Congrats man :thumbup
-
Macau concert. no pics or vids though. my home internet is cut, and my work PC doesn't even have a USB.
The concert didn't have any souvenirs! :shocked
Can't remember it well. Memorable stuff in point form:
1. Some guy found his friend was there, and they wanted to sit together.
So I swapped my middle-right seat to his exact-middle seat of the same row. Win/Win for both of us.
I kinda feel sorry though. I got an awesome centre view of the stage, where I could see all the action clearly... and google at Rena~ :drool:
But Miichan was over the far right most of the time, and I would've been much closer if I kept the original seat.
2. I sat next to one of the biggest screamers/jumpers of the concert. cool.
Actually, I WAS one of the biggest screamers/jumpers of the concert. Flicked my glowstick like a pro (hehe, amateur HK fans). Tiger, fire, cyber, fiber, diver, viper~ Ja Ja~ (at least that's what I read in one of the guys' cheat sheets) :P
3. AKB+SKE sang Aitakatta and River together at the start (MC said it was supposedly their first time singing those together, including japan. Aitakatta I doubt, but River probably). Aitakatta felt like it was sung like 3-4 times. :lol:
4. All the members had a try at introductions in cantonese/chinese. Most were ok! 2 or 3 were non-understandable, so we kinda just screamed in reply. But they tried. :thumbup
Oya Shizuka scored major points by saying "Tonight, let us all Wey Way Wei" (have fun/go crazy). Honestly, I've never used that line in my entire life. Don't think I ever will either! :bow: And congratulations in going overseas for the first time. :peace:
As for leadership roles, I think Moeno, Umechan and Jurina did a great job in keeping the ball rolling throughout the live.
5. Miichan/KitaRie/Jurina/Kumi doing Endroll.
Miichan's sudden cartwheel/flip was my high point of the concert.
6. Kasai and the Sato sisters (Amina + Suuchan) singing Candy. Death from overcuteness. XD
update: It was Komori, not Suuchan. sorz~ :doh:
7. HR was the biggest crowd pleaser, with all the audience coming together and singing "I want you~~" :twothumbs
8. Kareha no Station :inlove:
9. Two Roses = awesomezzz!!
10. Beginner started. Everyone went mad.
11. There were some mini-squabbles between the fanclubs. End of the day, it took a japanese fan to stand up, make everybody cool down, and have him lead the encore chants. Kinda funny when he stopped us and corrected us "Not Chuu, it's Chiyuu!" :lol:
12. 2 encores. Aitakatta + Ponytail sung at the end with pink 'I :heart: Macau' shirts.
13. Concert lasted around 1.5 hours. And overall, it had a very fulfilling setlist.
I don't mind the collab. SKE sent in their main force, and it was great checking them out with their new single coming out. AKB didn't have the lucky 7, but I'm really happy they got Miichan over. She's one of the earliest members that I liked in AKB, and I feel lucky just to be able to see her perform.
14. I got seasick on the way back. :nervous
Also, a few hours ago I went to the HK AKB Shop for the handshake event. :cow:
The shop items didn't interest me very much, probably cos they're more girl-oriented. I wished the frame of the make-up mirror was for a photo frame. In the end I settled for an HK$80 Miichan flag.
I staged in my mind the night beforehand what I wanted to say. But the members turned out in the total opposite order from what I imagined.
It made me only say 'hello, thank you' to KitaRie and 'Chiyuu' to Kasai. XD
But I did get to say my broken japanese to Miichan:
"Miichan! Honto nee Daisuki~"
(translation = please be my waifu) :wub:
"Ko Le Ka La Mo, O En Shi Masu"
(translation = either "I'll be supporting you from now onwards" or "Miichan, please support me from now onwards". I'm hoping the first one)
So... yay! 2 fun days of AKB'ing~

Sorry for bad english and few info and I write only about most importance
Concert includes poniiteru to shushu, heavy rotation, beginner, aitakatta, oogoe diamond, mariya and 2-3 old stage songs i don know :nervous
Also it includes MC in russian and japanese with translator, IMHO best russian speaker - Umeda Ayaka, almost all girls spoke something not recogize able, but we support them in any situation :jphip:
My achievements:
I was in first row in center behind 4-5 little japanese girls with which we share glowsticks. They gave 2 fan letters to Chikarina and she was in 0.5-1.0 meters from me 8)
ALL AKB girls was in 2-3 meters from me during the stage :)
NOW MORE INTERESTING
ALL SHOW I was trying to draw their attention using Names/Nicks and Waves/Yells to them. It was simple because of my place! :thumbsup
Masuda Yuka - She noticed me after "YUKA DAISUKI". She smiled to me and Waved 2! times and during ALL PERFORMANCE She frequently stare at me and embarass me. Her staring eyes I never forget! She is fucking HAWT and KIND AND CUTE :inlove:
Umeda Ayaka - She noticed me 2 times! She waved and TEASE ME like "Omg you really like me?" YES! :oops:
Miyazaki Miho - She noticed me 1 time! She don't waved but TEASE ME like "No, you have no chances" XD
Fujie Reina, Chikano Rina, Uchida Mayumi, Rumi Yonezawa - akb girls which noticed me and smiles but I don't sure 100% about it (she stare at my side but I don't catch their look)
Asuka Kuramochi, Ooya Shizuka, Kitahara Rie - girls never noticed me, I think such way. Don't want say bad but Ooya wasn't enjoyed to performance, We had Good Poster for her, but it seems she look and ignore it...She could wave or say something :nervous
Kitarie performed for all audience :P
Asuka was almost all time on other side of girls.
Chisato Nakata, Sayaka Nakaya - girls I don't really care :nervous
I am confused and full of good feelings, I hope you understand WHAT THE FUCKING AWESOME PERFORMONCE WAS and It seems I am Masuda Yuka FAN :inlove:
UPD: Best day in my life, now I can die with no worry XD

Just went to the 2nd handshake event, HK's AKB shop has organized.
I honestly thought of not going. But I did tell Miichan I'd support her last time, so I should at least try. :roll:
It felt much more rushed this time. Details were posted ~36hrs before the actual event. I wonder if many fans missed it due to this.
They originally planned to split the 5 members to 2 groups of 2 and 3, and people who join would only get to meet one of the 2 groups. Reason was to speed up the lines. But in the end it was fixed back to handshaking all 5 members.
There could be some good/bad reasons for the last-minute fix. But in the end the fans win, so I'm totally ok with that.
It was kinda surprised when I got there ~15min before the event started. Cos when I got in line, I was like around the 10th person... :shocked totally different from last time where i was ~200th. No surprise HK reporters started shooting the short line like crazy. evil reporters.
The event started a little later than planned, but around a hundred fans showed up at the same time right before it started like ninjas.
In the meet order. Members that came were RanRan (RS), Yui (K), Moeno (K), Myao (B) and Miichan (K). :)
I was surprised again how all the fans seemed to be in such a rush.
They just shook hands and left like it was a race. It made me feel impolite if I slowed the line by talking (I still did, hehe). It stumped me and made me forget what I wanted to say. You'd think that people would try to talk as much as they can to their idols in such circumstances, when the staff aren't pushing anybody to leave.
In the end I still gave a late congratulations to Yui for making Team K.
And telling Miichan it's her 2nd time here, and I'll keep supporting her. I have 0 originality. :lol:
Now, I feel so guilty for forgetting to tell Myao and Miichan that they are such an awesome combi. :oops:

^ I am jealous you touched them... :D

KYORAKU presents AKB48 SKE48 LIVE in ASIA Special Message (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGy904DWzhY#ws)
-
Just came back from the AKB48 fan meeting-cum-mini concert (in Singapore) held earlier this evening...
A bit disappointed that non of major players came, just 12 girls none of which I am too familiar with. :((( They all seem to be from the senbetsu 16 list although there was definitely no haruna, kasai or acchan... the new "unknown" star Mayumi graced us with her presence though. Somehow her face really reminds me of Konno from MM.
At least last time round, Akimoto, Mayuyu, Sae came, this time round it's all the juniors again.
Despite that I enjoyed myself, the concert was short but enjoyable as usual, got to see them rather close up and the fan club otaku dudes got really high and noisy... which wasn't a bad thing I guess. Setlist included River, Ponytail to Shushu, Bingo!, Heavy Rotation and of course the crowd favorite Aitakatta. Chance no Junban was saved for the encore.
Apparently it was Sakiko Matsui's birthday on the 10th so the fan clubbers were constantly screaming birthday wishes and singing a birthday song at the end. Unfortunately I have no idea which girl Sakiko was...
After the encore, they announced that they were having a jankan session with the fans... "Really?!" I actually thought they would have a real jankan session like those other idol meetings which I had attended in Akiba before. Disappointingly enough, all it meant was that Mayumi went up to show her "scissors" hand and the fans who had the picture of "stone" behind their postcard (which were given complimentary at the door) "won" and could claim a prize of a free autographed poster. Basically it meant that there was no game and worse, there was a pre-determined outcome!!! (I guess I am just really sore because my postcard had a scissors at the back, which means no autographed poster DAMN!!)
The thing that was rather interesting though was that there was a High Five session at the end (as opposed to handshake) because they wanted to thank the fans who came so everybody who went got to High 5 all 12 girls... And I use the term "High 5" in an extremely loose sense since basically the girls mostly just opened their palms for you to touch (ie. hardly any movement from their palms, only yours) ... So if they had called it a "palm touching" session, it wouldn't be wrong either lol.
All in all, a pretty enjoyable 1.5hrs spent with the girls but if they ever came back for a full concert again, i would demand that they send more of their first teamers. I miss my Takamina so much.... :cry:

Hello!
Sorry guys for being late. But sometimes they say it’s better late than never. Today I’d like to present to you a translation of the TV program “AKB in Moscow”. Again, sorry for missing Macau and Singapore. I can only speak about Moscow this time.
I suppose you've already watched the program but I find it interesting to listen to the girls preparing for the show, learning the phrases and rehearsing their dances, and also, giving their feedback after the concert.
I’m much obliged to them for kind words in our regard. Back when they were writing their impressions in their blogs I left several thank-you comments. I know they don’t read them but their warm comments made me write something in return. Myao’s comment back then was especially touching.
Anyways let’s watch the program again.

But before the concert our group visited a tourist spot, it's a place on a bridge where couples, brides and brooms attach their padlocks to a pole. There were lots of people in great wedding dresses. They looked very happy. They shared their emotions with us and here we are, sharing our happy emotions with you. I hope you’ll enjoy the concert. (=it’ll be exciting).
(Shiichan) Yesterday I ate a lot of things.
(Mayuchi) It was all yummy!
(Ume-chan) We ate borsch.

57.35
(Mayuyu) It's cold. But I took a dash and I warmed a bit.
57.50
It's warm.
12 o'clock (noon). The Research Student team is giving a concert. The special guest is Sumire.
1.05.02
15.30
They’re leaving the Red Square.
(Reinyan) Now, I'm gonna warm your hands.
(Mocchi) I have no words.
- We'd like ice-cream for all of us.
(Reinyan) It'sh yummy.
When it's cold it's even tastier.
1.05.53
Reinyan's freezing.
(Myao) Look, it's tasty!
(Rie) I told you.
1.06.13
(Rie) Look at that. It started snowing!
(Myao) I’m freezing for real. It’s because these are summer clothes.
(Chisato) I want to be Cheburashka.

1.7.33
Sumire and Co are still performing at the theater.
1.08.12
Kana, Mika and Sae are playing rock-scissors.
The loser is to run across the bridge.
It's Sae.
1.08.39
(Sae) OK, at least I warmed up.
1.08.47
(Mika) See you tomorrow.
1.08.50
(Ami) She hit me!
I can give a punch myself!
(Rino) Geez, you scared me to death.

Nov, 20, 9 PM.
(Takamina) It's been a while since we shot a program last time. It was fun. But it’s cold.
Mayuyu and Yuuko have having fun.
Supokon! (TL NOTE - implying they were making a movie involving a sporting event)
-
1.09.38
(Rie) How are things?
-
1.13.14.
Nov, 20, 4 PM.
AKB arrive at the theater in Moscow. They enter through the backdoor.
1.13.31
1.14.11
Buono – is DA BEST!
1.14.19
This is our gang.
TL NOTE. I can be seen at 1.14.22 waving both hands (the guy in the middle of the group, the second row, wearing a sweater with orange stripes)
(Reinyay) CSCA (Moscow football club)'s sportsman is a football player from Japan! (TL NOTE. See Honda Keisuke)
- Moscovites, we're glad to meet you!
(Reinyan) We're confident. I think it should go nicely.
1.15.20
(professor of Japanese) You should pronounce your name a bit slower and more distinctly or else the Russians won't understand you at all.
1.15.39
(professor of Japanese) It's not ‘PE’, its ‘HA’.
“I want to live in Russia”. (hochu pozhit’ v Rossii)
(Chikarina) So actually we have a peformance pretty soon. I’ll do my best.
But they have a press conference.
(stupid russian journalist) What language will we speak? Russian? English?
(the interpreter) I'm an interpreter.
(Rie)(in Japanese) It would be great if we could give a proper performance and show the charm of AKB as we usually do. We give our utmost and show the audience what the idols really are.
16.40
(Nakayan) Anyways, I'm looking forward to the concert. And I’ll be speaking in Russian!
(Rie) I think we should be fine. Last time we went to Makau, we messed up quite a bit. I think we’ll keep messing up but we should be fine. If it’s not fine then it’ll be really bad for us. Thank you.
(Yone-chan) The main thing is to control your emotions and follow the script.
Last time we were in South Korea everything went pretty smoothly. So I’m more or less confident. If I believe in myself I should perform well.
(Mayuchi) I was told the audience is shouting “AKB – Yeeeah!”. Sort of. It should give us a boost.
(Chisato) I'm really nervous. My heart is pounding.
I want the foreiners to learn more about us. It’s our first performance of this kind.
(Myao) Oh, hell. English is more or less OK but Russian. I see Russian for the first time. I’m extremely nervous.
(Mocchi) In Japan I was told there are no AKB fans in Russia and that our performance would be a failure. But it seems the fans are here! I’m so relieved.
This time I have a unit that I normally don’t take part in. You can guess how nervous I am now. But I took a nice sleep. It should help me get through this.
1.23.10
This is the poster specially for Shizuka.
1.23.51
(Ume-chan) I'm very glad we were called for an encore.
(Rie) It was fun. At first I was really worried about the audience and their reaction to us. But it was beyond my imagination. We were greeted so warmly!
Well, of course I had personal problems on the stage but it went pretty smoothly.
(Mocchi) In the end I shook hands with several fans when I was leaving the stage. I feel like a big star.
(Reinyan) When I was introducing myself I was beside myself with fury (because it’s difficult to speak Russian). But the audience shouted “Reinyan!” and it helped me control myself. I was very happy then.
(Shiichan) Thank you very much, it was fun.
1.24.46
(Chikarina) I suddenly felt extremely sleepy.
(Mocchi) Her ear is cold but the other one is hot.
(Ume-chan) I'm tired.
1.25.11
(Mocchi) Food! Food!
(TL NOTE - see Miichan in AKB600 for comparison)
1.25.54
(Yuuka) It's snow!
- the Moscow snow is so fluffy!
1.26.49
(Ume-chan) OMG! In Russia you have carrot and tomatoes in plenty.
1.26.57
(Rie) Shall we start?
Itadakimasu!
1.27.11
(Rie) Look. The red one is Akicha. The white one is Moeno. Those are sets of earrings. But I have a feeling one set would’ve been enough. Ah, forget it.
1.27.44
(Chikarina) I stacked some food from the supermarket. It’s for Natsumi.
Ah, I didn't actually know what to buy!
1.27.59
(Reinyan) I bought lots of things!
(in the airport)
(Yuuka) Russian language?
It was my first time I introduced myself in something other than Japanese. I think it’s difficult but I learn words and I want to make the audience happy.
(Reinyan) I was worried about the concert. Will the audience support us? Will they call for an encore?
But there were lots of people shouting «Reinyan» and they started to shout “encore” just as soon as we left the stage. I was extremely happy.
(Rumi) I'm glad that our message hit the mark. I especially liked it when I was called by name, more than that, the fans addressed me as Yone-chan. It was really nice. I’m glad I came here.
(Mayuchi) We had just 12 people. But we combined our efforts and gave a decent performance.
(Rie) In a cold country there are people with a warm heart. I greatly enjoyed our performance here in Russia. I feel like coming here again. Thank you very much.

(in Japan)
(Chikarina) Wow! It's warm! It's like spring here!
(Rie) It's hot!
