Slack · « **Reply #44 on:** September 28, 2012, 12:19:44 AM »

Just landed. Still in the plane, not even done taxi-ing. Now I need to figure out how to get to the hotel...

Slack · « **Reply #45 on:** September 28, 2012, 07:28:18 AM »

Now in HD, it's... me!

Gonna get that interview. Submit a question!

daigong · « **Reply #46 on:** September 28, 2012, 03:36:51 PM »

Nice hote Slackl!! YOU KICK ASS. can't wait to see the group pix

ask her what her fave Star Wars episode is and which character she would play?

DO Me DO Me · « **Reply #47 on:** September 28, 2012, 06:49:21 PM »

Are you doing the interview today (friday)? I kinda wanna get in on it but I'll be there tomorrow. Ask her if she's heard of Gangnam Style, then ask her to do some of the dance (hopefully someone will capture it). And ask how would she feel if one of her songs became that virally known around the world?

I'd recognize that logo anywhere

OMG, I've completely lost my entire video of the interview! My iphone reloaded a back up from my ipod touch and erased it during the process.

The funny thing is that I was trying to load that into my iphone last week but couldn't. Why did it have to do it now? The only thing that remains of that is this screencap I sent to my sister.

I basically had full frontal view of her the entire time and snuck a butt shot for dai LOL

but yeah, it's all gone.

Fortunately Reichan's friend also had video and of course the other staff that were there. Well I guess it's not a total loss, there's still the concert. But the interview was soo personal and exclusive..to us! errr...

Slack · « **Reply #50 on:** September 29, 2012, 04:42:57 AM »

Yeah, I wasn't even aware you were recording!
Reichan said she was going to upload the video soon, right?
I NEED that video to write up the interview!

But in any case, today is a day of epic win.

Just a thumbnail for now. Expect more later on when we have the media back!

In the meantime, you can watch my stupid face muse on what happened today:

DO Me DO Me · « **Reply #51 on:** September 29, 2012, 05:28:13 AM »

^Seriously, she won me over, sort of renewed my love for jpop. I mean I haven't kept up with jpop/MM/H!P since Koharu's graduation. Even when my ultimate bias Kamei Eri graduated I was like, "oh, it's that time now?" and moved on. But then, I wasn't like starstruck by Kikka but like Slack said, idols have this magic around them. You can feel this aura from her that's very genuine. Her answers from what I can remember weren't shallow or silly like from what you see on a talk show. One thing I remembered was her face when Slack said Mano Erina is his 2nd favorite after her.

I hope they do form the "You and M.E." unit and give you credit for it.

Well, I'm prepping for tomorrow, charging batteries, clearing space. Hopefully technology won't hate me like it always does and ruins something again.

Slack · « **Reply #52 on:** September 29, 2012, 05:45:25 AM »

If that video gets messed up. I may cry.
Seriously.

Also, I'm not sure if it's alright to post more of this:

Cause the staff told me to stop recording after about 20 mins.

Rei-chan · « **Reply #53 on:** September 29, 2012, 05:50:59 AM »

Just got home, will go upload the interview video

I loved her! She was very pretty, with minimal makeup, much taller than i expected

so sweet too, seemed very energetic to me.

It was awesome how casual everything felt. We got to their hotel room, were talking to Yaz about where Kikka and us should seat, and suddenly in comes Kikka yelling "onegai shimasu!" multiple times. I was like WUt! Didnt expect to see her so suddenly there

Anyway, will go prepare to upload now.

Thank you Slack, Rei, Egirl, LUIS!! for representing JPHiP WITH CLASS and STYLE!!!

SO PROUD!

Truly epic stuff. I'm really happy for all you guys

"Idols are magic" --> Truer words have never been spoken.
"Kikka needs You" --> This would make an awesome album title

For me personally, I never really got into Kikka's music. That's the main hurdle. Especially when there is so much competition. We're in the idol wars era now, so every fan must be won over in some way or other. However! Kikka seems like an awesome person. I always enjoyed her during the Milky Way era and she seems really happy doing what she does.

I may have two chances of seeing Kikkawa in the next two months. I was undecided about whether I should go or not, but seeing how happy all of you are definitely makes me more interested. Too bad I don't have a jphip shirt. Hopefully some stickers might get her attention.

Looking forward to all the upcoming content.

Enjoy the rest of the expo!

Damn, that fan group picture with Kikka is too awesome!

Congrats to the JPH!P interview team on getting up close and personal with her! I'm sure she looks a lot more beautiful in person. And all the retweets by Up Front and Universal staff people! Plus the karaoke looked fun!

I think I need to do a better job checking out Kikka's music now.

I'd say go for it...I decided on not going due to money issues, but seeing all this stuff happen keeps making me wonder if I should've gone anyway since I technically could afford to make the trip.

Can't really beat myself up over this, though--just like how my regret for not going to Seattle fueled my journey to see Berryz in NJ, I'll just let this be more motivation to make sure I can make it to the next time H!P comes here! (C-UTE TO FANIME 2013 PLZ)
