I know there aren't a lot of fan reports but trust me there are
a lot of fans here. I'm surprised myself!
Now for my recap.
I got up at 5 and went to pre-reg. The line was less than 20 minutes! So I cam back to the hotel since it was like still barely 6:30(?) (Well around that time but early)
Got to the convention at 9 and there was some drama with me just like...overreacting.
I noticed there were
many Berryz Kobo fans already. Shirts and a lot of happi's. A lot of japanese fans were there as well.
Things became wonderful when I just started talking to people and a girl just came up and asked, ''Are you here for Berryz?'' I said yes and we just... started talking and became really good friends. She lives really close to me which is nice.
Now... a very interesting thing about how a lot of people got into the dealers hall for autographs.
I was told by the people I talked to earlier to come talk to this women to put my name on a list for autographs. To guarantee we get them and so we all followed her into a room upstairs. We were told to get in line so she could put our names on the list. Then, we followed her back down into the dealers hall waiting area a huge explanation was explained. Our group would be let in first into the dealers hall for the autographs(!) They started calling of names off the list. There were about a little over 150 people in the group? We were let in were told
not to run in a very strict way. People listened but still power walked.
Then, so began the line for the tickets and it was
big. It even started to curve in the end.
Luckily I was one of the first people and got my friday autograph quickly.
For the q and a the line also curved a bit. We were let in and a video introducing Berryz members began to play. Audience cheered and while Rival played, chants were heard. Then, Berryz walked in and we greeted with cheers and posed as we were allowed pictures for the first 2 or 3 minutes.
The q and a was super fun. Risako, Yurina and Captain were a bit quiet but Momo, Maasa, and
definitely Miya(I think she has been the most interactive) were very interactive and fun.
The autograph session was a hour after but fans lined up. I was one of the first and talked to quite a few. We realized when the autograph session was about to start they were behind the curtain and started cheering. And let me just tell you... Miya is
amazing She just like stared
right at me, smiled and waved. And that's when I was going to cry.
When I was just about to get their autographs, I could feel the lump in my throat and my mouth moving and started sniffling but then I got to Saki(She was the first) and just got nervous and it went away. I went to her and gave her my photocard and said, ''I'm from los angeles!" and she said or just looked up at me to like repeat it and I repeated it again but she just looked down and signed my photocard. She didn't understand me since I said it with ''los angeles'' with a mexican accent.
My other interactions with captain were totally cool though!
Then, I went to momo. As she was signing my card, I said, ''Buono'' I'm not sure she heard me cause she didn't answer back. For Chinami I had a simple english conversation. It was simple but so cool I could said I had a english conversation with Chinami! Now Yurina... is my favorite memory. As I gave her my photocard I said, ''ENJOY!'' And she replied, ''Oh!'' and shook her head and then again said, ''Enjoy!'' And she wrote ENJOY! on my card and she didn't do that to others!!!
For Risako...she was shy in the q and a but in autographs she was just plain out...friendly and adorable.
I was wearing a fanmade Risako shirt and a Risako towel and showed her after I said she was my favorite(Really it's actually Chi currently but I was just nervous so it's okay and I was wearing Risako shirt and towel so...)
Guest reception. It was sad for other guests. You could see so many Berryz fans! When the other guests introduced themselves people clapped but when Berryz came people cheered and I was in the front luckily. Taking pictures. My friend first saw them and I went over to them and saw Captian and waved. She acknowledged me with a nod! Waved again and she did it again! Then I went back and saw them, they were so close! Miyabi waved at me again.
Then they left...
Hello!Party2 was fun!
But now I need to say something.
THE BIGGEST THING I NOTICED:
The fanbase. There were a lot of fans. People flew from New York, Hawaii, Boston...
In the convention you saw people cosplayed in outfits, happis, towels, shirts. And at the guest reception, HSU booth there were a lot.
Now tomorrow is the concert. So night all!
