Anywhoo, the much anticipated Konkon & Mako-chan Fanclub Bus Tour took place this past weekend. Here's a summary based on what I could piece together from blog and twitter reports :
The day of days has arrived!!

When they stopped for gas, two crazy gaijin tried to hijack the bus. Security dealt with them severely.

The bus ride was long. When people got hungry, they snacked on the food of the gods :

Followed by a live show by the girls. One of the songs they sung was Love Namida Iro, which was 5th Gen's audition song :
