Day 1
My flight is at 6am via United Airlines. So my mum very graciously (and with much grumbling) sends me to the airport at 4am. She always tells us kids (including my father) to go to the airport 2 hours before flight and I try to keep to that as much as possible.
The flight is pretty empty, I would say only 3/4 full. So most of the middle seats are empty. I try to get as much sleep as possible because I know the next days is gonna be a full day in which I would be basically running on adrenaline (which BTW works much better than Coffee or Energy Drinks). I manage to sleep maybe 5 out of 7 hours of my flight.
When we land, I see this EVA AIR plane so I quickly whip out my camera to take a snap despite my half-awaked-ness. yehh See me make up words along the way
The nice Caucasian man on the aisle seat of my row help me take down my luggage from the over head compartment because he saw me taking a picture of the Hello Kitty Airplane. My luggage had a Hello Kitty Luggage Tag on it so he assumed it was mine. *rolls eyes* Yeh yeh its mine haha thanks
After landing, I think that I have sufficient time so I take the slow way into Tokyo City Center via the Keisei Main Line (Express Service) This takes about 1.5 hours and costs 1,000yen
As I have already planned out my itinerary down to the hour, I have to rush to Harajuku Ticket Reseller shop to check out the tickets I need to buy. This is where I am presently surprised to see Kanatomo and Friends right smack in the middle of the Tunnel linking the 2 Platforms at Harajuku Station. As I am in a hurry, I take quick snaps of these. Little do I do this is the last time I will see them because they are taken down a few days later
Kanatomo Forever
Kanatomo and Friends
I do a brief stop at the Ticket Re-seller and exit slightly disappointed because I could't find the tickets for the Berryz Okayama Naruchika tour that I will be going for in 2 days time. But I am not too worried because I know there will be Door Tickets (Just really lousy tickets) I did however manage to buy my tickets for Team Makenki Live in Late October @ Sendai (With serial number 150)
Now the sky is getting dark and I know I am behind schedule. I now have to rush to Nippon Budokan for Morning Musume '14 Autumn tour.
By this time, the sky is dark. I find a locker to deposit my luggage (I can't be lugging that POS with me to Budokan).
All the goods are sold out by now. This is fine by me because there are no Individual Member tees. And I have already secured my Sayu T.
My ticket is alright... I wouldn't say it a good seat because its all the way to the left side of the stage. Its about 15 rows from the front so that when the girls run to the middle platform, all we are seeing are their butts.
As there is generally a lot of time from when I enter the venue till before the start of the show, I like to observe the people sitting around me.
On my left side is a Sayu Fan (Wearing Sayu T) but she also support Maa chan. The typical otaku type of girl (Maybe JK) with glasses. She shouts for Sayu and Maa but doesn't jump much. Furicopies some.
On my right is a KSS oshi (I am increasingly seeing this types in all H!P cons as of late) Ogawa Rena oshi though he changes into a Duu Orange Shirt after the Opening Act is done. He jumps and Furicopies but is quite quiet.
I always beat myself over this, but REMEMBER TO BRING BINOCULARS. This is VERY important for Grad Cons or Significant cons such a Budokan cons. This is for looking at the 関係者席 which is located right in the middle facing the stages. Famous people will be sitting at these seats. I overhead people saying that C-ute was there.
As for the con itself. They performed all the New Singles and some old ones (Do it Now) But basically this was a Sayu Solo con with MM'14 as Fillers and Backdancers haha. They also performed 2 Album songs.
I am looking at Maa and Riho most of the time so I don't exactly notice the rest until they are in my face. Duu is fantastic, her charisma on stage rivals that of Riho. I can only wish that Maa had such Charisma. As usual Maa says some silly stuff and everyone laughs. (Mind this was 1 month ago so I don't remember very clearly)
They also bring out the New 12 Gen Members. They are all really cute, I am already a fan of Maria sama. Nonaka Miki's smile is great too and she speaks english!
When Sayu sang Aruiteru it was really moving. That was a touching moment and the best part of the whole Concert IMO.
Honestly I don't remember much of this Con LOL.
After this I go pick up my luggage from the locker and check into my Hotel at Shin-Ookubo. Woots! I have been upgraded to a better room!
A very nice room indeed. Then the lady tells me not to go outside at night as its "not safe" Ok... Im too tired to go out anyway...
