The Berryz Koubou are going to be at the AnimeNEXT 2012 convention in New Jersey! There will be a concert, probably autographs and pics, all the other convention events, and who knows what else! I just learned about this over the weekend (via this chat room). I have decided that I'm going to fly there and go. I saw on the AnimeNEXT 2012 forum that some people are looking for roommates. It looks like a lot of people who are going are unfortunately not familiar with Berryz. So, I'm looking for people who are! It would be fun to enjoy the event with people who like jpop. I am a huge jpop and hello project fan, especially Berryz!

Of course only female roommates need apply

I'm the nicest guy ever, at least that is what I've been told many times. If I don't have any takers, it's not a big deal. However, you would get a free hotel for the weekend and I've been known to buy nice meals and stuff for people who are with me. Send me a pm and I'll tell you more about myself, and you can see if you would like to go to the convention with me. I'm a professional guy in my 20s, and I can honestly say I'm a complete gentleman.

I had preordered tix for this (2) so those were at the cheapest price but i won't be able to attend because i have family visiting from China. If anyone is interested, let me know. They said they can do a name transfer and you can get your tix at the before jan 1st price instead of whatever it is now.

OpsMonkey · « **Reply #26 on:** April 08, 2012, 04:25:17 AM »

well i'm out now... other recent events have left me no choice but to not go. i hope everyone has fun.

After long, careful consideration (and building up enough money), I'm strongly leaning towards going to this now! I've managed to free up some time off work, but now it's just a matter of finding a place to stay over there.

Anybody staying at the Doubletree or Holiday Inn with some space to spare? I've looked around the hotels near the convention center that still have vacancy and they're all quite a walk away (the closest vacant spot I've seen so far is the Hampton Inn down the street and that place is pricey for that weekend).

acording to the chatter in the anime next group on facebook and hints from Jhouse rock there will be VIP tickets going on sale Fri the 18th which hint at meeting the girls:
JHouseRock meet the Berryz Kobo members @animenext youtube.com/watch?v=CW3U75…
don't have a twitter account so I don't have a lot of info, and I'm not seeing information on their site even though : please check jhouserock.com for more ticket details! Thank you for your support !
I can't even afford the trip let alone vip tickets on top of all the other expences.
This will probably be the last gig out of my area I will be going to for some time.

CrypticShadow8 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 18, 2012, 11:05:59 PM »

Yay! Just bought my VIP ticket!

Lol I still haven't even registered for the convention or anything but I really wanted that ticket so that I could possibly meet the girls and to get in the concert early. I'm so excited!

^ I just got mine too!

Fuck yes guys I'm looking forward to y'alls reports from this

J-Triumf · « **Reply #32 on:** May 19, 2012, 12:15:53 AM »

Damn, missed out on the VIP thing...stupid work.

Haven't booked my flight/hotel yet or registered for the con, but I'm definitely planning on being there, so I'll take care of that this weekend!

So what's the plan for the JPH!P crew that'll be there? Any plans for an NYC visit? Looks like Berryz will only be at the con for Friday and Saturday, and I'll likely fly back on Tuesday just to have an extra day for touristy stuff...been 18 years since I last visited the area.

rokun · « **Reply #33 on:** May 19, 2012, 01:13:32 AM »

Who all is planning to come from jphip? I'm so used to hanging out with you guys at these things

I haven't seen many people talk about it, so I wondered...

And I was planning on going to NYC on Monday, although if there's really nothing going on at the con Sunday, I might just move it up a day... Everything would be cheaper then too, lol. I might even drive in there

Rickker708 · « **Reply #34 on:** May 19, 2012, 03:44:41 AM »

Got my pass too. I was at work and was worried that there would be customers but thats one of the luxuries of working in a small town post office.

GREAT MAN!! welcome to

MegaTrax! Also they are working on getting some special content from Berryz, so please follow them!

J-Triumf · « **Reply #37 on:** May 23, 2012, 04:44:30 AM »

Flight and hotel have been booked, registration taken care of...gotta catch up on Berryz stuff now!

I'm flying in via red-eye and getting there Thursday morning; gonna give myself some time to adjust and rest instead of being all last-minute and tired like when Mano went to LA.

Anyone else staying at the Econolodge? It's kind of a walk but it was the best option for me in terms of price and distance.

Wait, is there even gonna be a Hello Party 3? I haven't seen any news on that. Maybe we can do a JPH!P Ustream thing instead if anyone has a capable laptop?
