Waiting in line to get in the concert now. Just got informed no pics or video from press, bummer. Scandal management super anal. The girls are very nice though.
Hoping for a good show.

Damn it! I'm so jealous of you press now. I was at the panel, in the concert, in the meet and greet twice... but couldn't take any pictures  :angry: Can you upload the full res of those pictures you have? I'm eternally grateful  :bow: :bow: I love Tomomi so much. The moment she stepped into the room for the panel, it's like a goddess just descended. Well, they're all gorgeous, but I think Tomomi stole the panel. I just kept looking at her, and in the meet and greet I was lucky enough to sit almost directly face to face with Tomomi even I'm in second row. Everytime her eyes meet mine, my heart pounded so fast. I mean, she's always been my favorite, but Tomomi in real life is 10x better. Haruna is so small, she's cute. I regretted that I didn't bring any gift for them. I think I actually had a perfect gift for their 2nd visit, but somehow I didn't bring it when I packed my stuffs to CA.

Again, please upload the full-res pics. I'm dying to see Tomomi as I saw her that day.  :bow:

Without taking anything away, I think Haruna is a wonderful person too. She's so quiet. Love it when she said she wanted to eat good food in the US. I actually looking back and forth between Haruna and Tomomi, with Rina in between. Mami didn't get enough love from me  :(
