2019/07/14 Amenosei Fan Meet

I went to the Amenosei fan meeting at the GraffArt store in Shibuya!
The day before, if you bought enough merch, you'd get a ticket to talk to Amenosei! You could also buy a ticket to take a polaroid, which I did~

I was really early in getting a ticket so I had a very early slot, but on the actual day I arrived a little late so I was worried.... It turned out to be just fine so I lined up with my ticket group. It wound around a wall, but you could still hear the conversation relatively clearly. I talked a little to the girl in front of me about how nervous we were :') I also heard one of the girls tell amenosei "I think you're so cute" to which they replied "I think so as well" LMAO

On my turn, I got to see how everything was set up! There was a large, tall screen with a camera on top, and seichan was a little lower than eye level (maybe cuz theyre tiny). The background was the store but I couldn't really identify what part of the store it was showing?

I didn't actually prepare what I wanted to say very well, so I just told them happy anniversary! I mentioned my Japanese isn't great so I might not be able to say things properly, and that they're cute and I love their singing voice. Then I.... instantly ran out of anything to say LOL and there was this awkward pause until staff suggested seichan ask a question instead!! They asked me what I liked about them (GREAT, THANKS,) So I panicked and repeated that they're cute.......... listen I can barely articulate why I like you in English let alone Japanese............ I ended up mentioning how I really like 7 as well.

For the picture, they let us take a picture with our phones as well! So it's technically two photos. I ended up falling back on the double peace sign for both photos...... I was pretty frazzled so I said thank you and went on my way, then as I was about to get on the escalator I realised I totally forgot to take my polaroid?! I went back and apparently there wasn't film in the camera, which is why I wasn't handed one LOL. I got to retake the photo, which I was actually really happy about, and got them to do a cutesy pose IM SORRY...... THEY WERE SO CUTE THOUGH...... when I asked if the pose was alright they were like "w-wait let's see if I can do it first" and made a few noises getting into place it was cute.... thanks....... Anyways I successfully received my polaroid and that ended my meeting with amenosei~

2019/07/27 Nayugorou Acoustic One-Man Live

Nayogorou's acoustic live at Ikebukuro! I went to the 2nd and 3rd performances~
It was a small venue that had seats and tables, but I stood near that back near the bar. It was very easy to see!

During the 2nd performance, she told us that there'd be more J-pop than vocaloid songs, but in the end she looked confused and realised it's probably the next performance with all the J-pop LOL. I don't know most of the titles of what she sang, but one of them was mata ne ga areba, which I love a lot~
After the singing portion, Nayugorou and some volunteers from the audience (almost everyone was too shy :') ) played a small game? I didn't understand the rules, but it was something like 3-syllable shiritori? And they had to say it to the beat of the BGM. The winners got a ticket to talk to her for 3 minutes!

In the 3rd performance, she changed clothes! It was a much more casual look than the outfit she had on earlier. She sat down on a stool to sing the first few songs. I think it was this performance where she sang a song that she said was unusual for her, which she also sang at NORISTRY's mini one man. I forgot the title but it's a good song........... She also talked about how for one song she always has to concentrate so hard on not saying "chinpo" instead of "tempo" and the pianist was like, ok yeah me too. We all had a good laugh at that....
For this part's game, we played bingo! I got riichi second and she actually noticed and pointed my card out;; I ended up getting a bingo first and won a 3-minute talk ticket!
As usual, I had no idea what I would say but she's really good at talking so I think it went pretty smoothly...! She kind of recognised me from nori's mini live! I told her that I was really happy to hear her sing Metronome, and she said that she thinks it's a song a lot of people like of hers, and thanked me. She also talked about nori and how she'd love to do more collabs with him! She asked if I was going to his performance tomorrow and I was like ?!?!?!? but luckily it's not a local one.... I think it's his one-man finale in Osaka? She also mentioned iStar but I can't go to that either ;v; I also mentioned that I really loved the group hikaru nara~

I think this acoustic style suits her and her song choices so much! Her voice was very strong the entire way through and sounded so very lovely~ It was wonderful being able to listen to her live again!
