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~

XYZ tour’s Valentine’s Day performance, ladies only! This was the first performance for this tour this year, held at Shinkiba Studio Coast. Singers were araki, un:c, shoose, senra, nrqse, piko, meychan, and luz. It was a very packed setlist with very little time for any mc!

They started off with U.S.A. sung by piko, meychan, senra, and araki! And what a way to start it off indeed, the energy of both the performers and the crowd was crazy! un:c and luz sang queen of hearts aaaaa and luz and shoose did R18!! luz’s hair was so cute with the black and white, I really like how it looks. All his duets were CRAZY fanservicey omggg every time he and un:c would switch places he’d do something…… and with shoose they were seriously all over each other the entire time omfg they had their faces so close together several times and luz literally pulled shoose’s off his shoulder at one point... they kept feeling each other up wow…… Shoose also sang proto disco!! which I wasn’t expecting at all?! Meychan and nqrse did yomosugara, then nqrse did a very very cool happy halloween~ he and senra also sang nectar together. Senra and shoose sang cat eye make together and as they walked towards each other it looked like shoose was going to do Something but it seemed like senra panicked and patted him on the shoulder instead HAHAHA cute. Shoose always sings along without the mic during his duet partners’ parts….. He always looks so cool wheeze. Then he sang and danced to pink cat again and it was very difficult to…. breathe……. やばいよこの人…. He had really cool??? light up shoes??? as well. All their outfits were so flashy in general, I loved it! Then!! shoose and un:c did million dollar dreamer!!!!! Yayyyy I really wanted to see them sing it together again! They did the dance in the middle and everything and were super cute….. un:c also sang dappou rock with piko and chururira chururira solo!! Both great songs to pump up the audience! He was sooo cute and would dance and shake his hips a lot, I loved it. It seemed to get pretty hot because he threw his jacket to the ground at some point. Luz and nqrse sang Higai Mousou Keitai Joshi!! and araki and nrqse sang hello dystopia. Araki and piko sang ghost rule together, and then piko sang haikei doppleganger solo! At some point, piko and luz sang issin furan together. As you’d expect, they flirted a lot with each other while singing and piko full on laid on the floor while luz was over him…… then when he got up he KISSED LUZ ON THE CHEEK to thunderous screaming. Piko also sang haikei doppleganer! Then, there was a group gigantic OTN and then everyone came in for roki and secret answer!

For the encore, they started with deriheru and then went into the last mc portion! Shoose was talking very politely and kept bowing. un:c did his usual sex thing and they even had proper seductive background music for it but he started snorting halfway through the delivery LOL. Once he started talking everyone was like "ahh....." and went to sit down in the back of the stage..... piko in particular was completely srawled out on the floor just lounging about. After he finished, un:c made luz to do the thing as well and he took forever to get to the point and it really seemed like he didn’t want to say it LMAOO he eventually finished with “concerts are like sex!!!” to much screaming. They also kept pretending to be kradness for some reason, it was pretty amusing. He’s such a bright personality…. The audience asked luz to dance to USA too since he didn’t sing it at the beginning but araki said he was doing it all wrong and that he needed to lean back more, demonstrating. Luz then leaned SUPER far back and fell over…. He got up and dusted himself off with a completely straight face while everyone laughed and said “it’s because I did it with all my strength, ok” un:c talked about how he’s been dieting and nqrse was immediately like, “shut up. Shut up I’m leaving” LOL but he continued on saying that since XYZ he’d lost x amount of weight and was very happy with himself! It seem that luz was also on a diet, so they told us about their sad meals before the show. nqrse then cut in saying he had chocolate today :^) Piko did his usual thing and got us to cheer a lot and ended by telling us we all stank :')

They ended the night with CocktaiL~



It was an amazing way to spend Valentines day!! I'm so grateful.......

I went to i-STAR FES in Shibuya! This event is spread across many different venues and features many many different performers from niconico. Due to time and venue capacity, I had to make some difficult decisions on who I wanted to see… Here was my schedule for the day!



un:c had kradness as a guest. For the special collaboration stage, the performers were taruchio/morudeo, taruchio/ajikko, ankler/fenikuro, piko/kradness, and piko/alfakyun feat. SLH! Gero’s guests were glutamine and alfakyun.



NORISTRY Stage
I didn’t go early enough to get into the venue for nori…… Instead, I ended up in the TV viewing area outside in the bar. His audience was quite mixed, and you can tell they are all so endeared to him…. We were all amazed that he filled up so quickly, and our outside area was very full as well;; He sang fixer, otome kaibou, tobacco, shoujo rei, inochi ga kiwareteiru, and roki!! A godly setlist tbh. Everything was absolutely amazing but tobacco in particular really took our breath away….. It was so emotional and I almost even cried myself, he was so powerful!! After the song ended there was silence, and then the guy beside me murmured “this guy is really amazing” I’M SO PROUD OF HIM….. he really is amazing live, and so adorable!!! His actions on stage are so cute and everyone always reacts with joy to anything he does. Shoujo rei also made me very happy, because I really love that song. I head he did the ballad version at MUSICARA later that night, but I really do like the original the most….. For inochi ga kiwareteiru, he said it was his first time singing it and was very nervous. He did end up forgetting some parts but he pushed through and still sounded very good!! Ending with roki, he did those growls amazingly! He also tried to take selfies during that part, cutie. My goodness I wasn’t even in the venue and I was still blown away by his entire performance. He ended by laughing and telling us that he’d be at the audition stage, then skipped off stage.

After having to wait outside for nori, I was very nervous about all the others I wanted to see, so I tried to head to the others as early as possible. I quickly picked up gero’s treasure tour bracelet (which I had wanted but couldn’t afford during the actual tour (;-;)9) and an i-STAR FES T-shirt, then headed over to see un:c!

un:c stage
This was my first time seeing un:c outside of XYZ!! While waiting for the performance to start, we could hear him and the band practising a little behind the closed curtains. I don’t know the title of the first song he sang, but it was a nice rock tune. I was also happy to see pasta there, in the band! un:c talked to us a little bit, introduced himself, and said he wasn’t going to do his usual thing because there’s probably many people watching that don’t know him too well and it wouldn’t be a good first impression of him. Everyone went EHHHHH but he insisted he wouldn’t say it. He sang platonic girl and taught us the motions for the stop/sit down parts! His way of talking to the audience is very cute…. He also did two duets with kradness! One of the songs was Deriheru Yondara Kimi ga Kita and they taught us the song actions as a team! They talked about how long they’ve known each other and stuff as well. They really seem to get along well…... Kradness was wearing a really cute sporty/baggy outfit that suits his frame a lot…. after that song, kradness left the stage, and un:c sang some more solos. It think one was shiwa? He also talked to the audience again and eventually was cheered into doing his sex schtick by the audience, but he said it so embarrassed it was very cute. Also, pasta laughed so incredibly loudly when he said “sex” omg. He then got all the band members to introduce themselves. He said he had another duet to do, and we all went OOOH??!! and kradness stepped out again!! he came out like, “wow it’s been a while everyone!! how are you!! your faces seem so familiar!!” They sang a honeyworks song which they uploaded last year? Then to end, un:c sang chururira chururira dadada! It was super fun. He took off his jacket at some point and looked very cool….. He also danced a lot and shook his butt it was so cute lol

Special Collab
I stayed in the venue for the special collab! It got really crowded, probably from all the various fans and the people camping for monopale who were next. Tarachio and morudeo sang a song I didn’t know at all, but it was super energetic and a lot of fun! Then morudeo swapped out of the stage with ajikko and they sang that fighting dreamers song, which was also super fun! Ankler and fenikuro sand rain stops, goodbye and it was very pretty. Piko and kradness sang platonic girl, then kradness left and alfakyun came onto stage wearing the same patterned cardigan as piko?! Apparently they just happened to buy the same thing. They talked a bit (their chemistry is sooo good) and then called out SLH!! they gave the mic to karasu to speak and everyone kept shouting that he was cute :’) they also called piko cute, but then fakyun pointed at him and was like “hai, busuuu” They sang roki with SLH dancing next to them!! I was really pleased to see SLH because I had to miss them to see nori at the start. I love their choreo for roki a lot…. Thus ends this stage.

Underbar stage
Underbar is another one of those guys who is just universally adored!! He started with gigantic OTN and then yi er fanclub! Of course, those were his usual freedom versions, but then he did a ballad very seriously and sounded really lovely! He talked to us for a bit and asked who was seeing him for the first time. A bunch of people in the front row raised their hand and he was like, “It’s your first time? Wh-why do you have all that merch--”. He then taught us the actions for the next two songs! First was for kochira koufuku anshin iikai desu, which everyone knew right away hahaha. He was surprised and said, “wow!! it’s become famous, good!” He sang a song I didn’t know with the actions he just taught us, and then ended his performance with kochira koufuku anshin iikai desu. He really was so cute and an amazing performer.

ROOTFIVE stage
They opened with proto disco!! Kettan’s rap really is good……. I don’t know the rootfive songs very well but they were all really nice! There was a cat one… and they did nyan nyan motions. I know they do a lot of dancing but it still surprises me every time I see them dance LOL they were really good!! mi-chan especially did some unexpectedly good body rolls. They had a lot of time for mc portions, and spent a lot of it talking about others lmaoo. They asked if we had seen kony around (I didn’t see him all day u_u) and kettan said he was probably sitting on a chair somewhere… they discussed how they’re so concerned he’ll just drop dead one day and continued on for a bit before moving onto their next target, dasoku. They talked about how they were “missing” a member and that kawamura-san sings roki and charles every day at home and we all laughed a lot at that. They also discussed how mi-chan is so into tennis. Someone asked him if he liked tennis or singing more, and he spent a long time thinking before he answered that it depends on the day and that they’re so different it’s hard to compare. He considers tennis more of a hobby that isn’t associated with work, and asked the others if they had anything else like that. I don’t remember koma’ns answer, but kettaro’s answered pretty quickly with mahjong. They then turned to pokota and called him ojisan, then said his hobby was definitely collecting rakuten points. Apparently he’s really amassed a lot of points?! The way the discussed how he’d constantly be collecting them and what he’d use the points for was really amusing. They closed with merry go round!

Megatera Zero Stage
I wanted to get a god spot to see gero and didn’t realise until rootfive ended that megatera zero would still be performing in the stage gero would be at. I didn’t know him well but decided to check it out anyways, and he turned out to be really amazing! He just ended a song and was talking a bit when I walked in. He asked if anyone had birthdays today or tomorrow, then told them to stay where they were and that he’d go see them later?! He then sang this birthday song that was really sweet, and jumped off the stage in the middle and ran to each person and gave them hugs!! There were about 5 people, and first guy was right next to me so I was really surprised when he came charging in to embrace the guy. I thought that was super cool of him….. He also sang Deriheru Yondara Kimi ga Kita! His performance was very much rock style, so I had a lot of fun! He’s got a super powerful voice and seems very comfortable on stage.

Gero stage
Last stage for the night! Again, the band and singer were practising a little behind the curtains before the start. People started singing along, and when they were finished you could hear gero saying “mmm it’s a good song” and half talking to the audience, cute.
They opened with his usual starting music, which I wasn’t expecting! He sang roki, outsider, nonsense bungaku, beloved survival, udon, and the six little bandits! The duets were akane-chan with glutan and something I’m not familiar with, with fakyun. In the middle of one of his mc portions, a girl in the very front seemed to have collapsed and needed help. When staff went over to her, gero also noticed and stopped what he was doing to ask if she was ok! He looked very concerned but still joked around a little. He asked if she drank any water a few times, and told us all that we need to take care during such long events. He then turned back to her and said, “Are you REALLY okay? Do you have water? Did you eat? …What’s your favourite food? [pause] ….. Mine is fried rice.” and we all laughed. He continue talking and waited until she got up and said she was ok before moving onto the next song ;v; a sweetheart! For nonsense bungaku, he wanted us to “dance” in a weird way by pumping both arms up and down?? and then he turned to pasta and tried to get him to do it and pasta was like, “pls not everyone in this audience knows me you not give them a weird impression”. He asked if anyone’s introduced the band yet and pasta said that un:c did it earlier, but since that was so long ago gero decided to have them introduce themselves again! Then, he called glutamine on stage and he came out “dancing” and everyone cheered. He had to charge over from his own solo stage, which ended just 5 minutes before gero’s started! Gero said that he told glutan that if he can’t make it in time it’d be ok lol. They talked about singphonight and I guess they sang akanechan there too?? They were very energetic and it was a fun performance. Then he sang with alfakyun, who was also super energetic! I really enjoy her dry humour. They yelled a lot in their song too and it really pumped us up! All his solos were also really good, as usual!! I had soooo much fun, especially with bandits at the end!

And that’s all for i-STAR fes! I didn’t try any of the collab food but piko and nori’s had sold out fairly early in the day… There were times when other performers would pass by as I was on my way to another venue. I even saw akatin with some friends, even though he wasn’t a performer! There was a board where you could write a message on a cute hot air balloon sticker and stick it there, and it had a whole bunch of messages from so many different fans! It was a really cool event and it was nice to see so many people sing in one day.

This was a sit-down event at Tsutaya O-East! Performers were Kony, clear, Nero, NORISTRY, Irie Ryou, Piko, Meychan, and Yuuto! A Jazz-themed event set at Bar MUSICARA.

Since it was a jazz-style event, they had two chorus members, a sax, a double base, and a variety of percussion in the band! The bassist was super cute…….. They all dressed a bit formally to match the atmosphere! There was a small bar set up with the sign MUSICARA above it, and a seating area beside the audience area with couches, stools, and alcohol, where the guests would go to hang out after singing! It was free seating but we got really amazing ticket numbers from the lottery, so we opted for the third row, smack in the middle, which I think was truly the best option for viewing…. Not too close so we had to strain our necks, but close enough to see everything clearly!

The concert started with Kony, the “owner” sitting at the bar! There was some narration, and kony did the first song of the day: garando!!! He was sooo good I love him so much!! He put so much power into parts of it and is so suited to jazz, I loved it. The next person to step on stage was NORISTRY! He bounced on over and was so adorable….. Kony talked to him for a bit and then returned to his seat at the bar. He did a solo as well, and Kony was in the background singing and dancing along on his chair lol. Then the narrator said nori’s beloved Nero, owner of Millfy, was arriving at the bar! They did a duet together and he was so excited….. It was ti amo! In the middle there’s a break and it’s supposed to be very dramatic as he whispers ~ti amo~ to nero but you could tell he could barely keep himself from laughing….. there were a few giggles from the audience as well because we could sense it from him hahaha. Nori then thanked nero profusely and stepped off into the seating area, and nero did a solo gossip! He was super cool…… The narration continued, and said the owner of Canaria was arriving! Clear stepped onto stage in more casual clothes and a scarf, complaining about the cold. He saw nero and asked him why he was dressed so nicely, and nero replied that on the contrary, why was clear dressed like this?! He explained that today was still a day off at Canaria looool. They looked towards kony, and kony demanded he “take it off”. Apparently there’s a dress code at musicara!! He gave his scarf to kony to hold onto, and then cleaner sang one of their originals together!! I think after that, clear did a solo as well! It was a version of fixer~ When nero joined nori in the seating area you could see nori excitedly greeting him and preparing a drink for him….. It was very cute.

I think after this followed Irie Ryou, meychan, and yuuto? They both did solos, I think. Irie came out already with a cup of alcohol in his hand, looking very pleased with himself….. He cheerfully got us to stand up for his song and was generally very cute! Yuuto did a duet with kony!!

Finally, mama piko made his appearance, as the owner of a snack bar next to bar musicara?! Kony made a show of leaving the bar with whoever last sang, and they changed the sign on Bar Musicara to Snackshop Newcomer….. Piko stepped onto stage from the right side in a very stylish-looking kimono-type outfit and so many people gasped and squealed…….. He really looked so good!! He did his little schtick back and forth with kony and then performed a beautiful yoshiwara lament for us!! He danced along and was soooo good……….. He messed up the timing in the middle and was like tehe I made a mistake~ Ahhh he was so cute!!

Afterwards, all of them were in the seating area and they talked a little! The big talkers were definitely kony and piko. They went back and forth a lot, it was really fun! Someone, I think Irie, popped open a can and put his pic right up to it, at it made such a satisfying crack and sizzle sound… everyone was like WHOAAA that could be used in a commercial!! They started sending out people to sing some more, and you could watched them dance along and do hand motions, it was really funny.

Nori did a ballad arrangement of shoujo rei which was super good, and clear and irie dueted SHAKE! Irie got us to stand again hahahaha. During his second solo, Irie told us he was pretty drunk, and yet still had a cup in his hands. Yuuto did mousou kanshou daishou renmei and got us to do the aiyaiya parts~ Nero and Piko walked onto the stage with his arm around piko’s hips telling him he’s so cute, so cute, and piko was like “I know :)” They go into this entire thing and both twirl around while talking….. piko asks nero if he remembers “That Night” and nero’s like “….no” and they go into a beauuuuutiful uchiage hanabi!! In the middle of the song, piko asks nero if he remembers NOW and nero’s still like “….no”, to piko’s dismay. At the end of the song, he still doesn’t remember, so piko stomps off like “ I don’t care about you anymore!!!!!!” and nero chases after him.

For the last song, they got everyone on stage, but half of them had to used wired mics and piko’s got caught on something and he almost tripped! Everything turnd out ok though, and then kony introduced the song by saying it was the group song for he very first Musicara, back in the day: Just Be Friends!! It was a lot of fun, and piko and nori danced together a lot~ nori also kept making heart and cheering motions to nero, which was very amusing.

They took some time to talk and take a picture with the audience! I saw them taking a bunch of selfies while sitting in the viewing area as well, which was cute. Kony talked about how he liked that it was a sit-down event because then there were no restrictions on hair/hats, and also that he could sit down as well hahaha. He said that if the audience was standing he’d feel like he had to stand as well. Then someone chimed in pointing at Irie saying that this guy made the audience stand up twice though. And he just laughed……
There was no encore for this event!! It ended cleanly and we left the venue to wait for the night performance.



For the night performance, we tried out sitting in the first row!! They started it out completely different this time, bringing everyone out onto the stage right off the bat. Irie had a drink in his hand, as usual. They also never removed the snackbar sign from the stage hahaha. Some of the setlist was the same this time around, but there were some changes as well!! Nori sang Second kiss, yuuto sand tobacco, and cleanero sang beauty and the beast!! Irie really had gotten pretty drunk looool he walked onto stage and told us he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to sing properly, and yet still took periodic sips from his cup. Apparently he cleared an entire bottle of whiskey. I guess he really loves the stuff. And, I thought he sang his solo just fine!!

There was much less narration for this part, and was mostly them swapping out from the viewing area where they’d drink and watch the other performances and chat a little. There was a break for talking as well, where they just chatted. Again, Kony and Piko talked a lot, but all of them were pretty involved!! There was a lot I couldn’t understand, but they discussed kony’s weight, musicara in general, and something about age. When nero sang, nori would do hand motions and hearts, and when piko sang, he blew a kiss to kony and kony blew one back? There was a lot of flailing around in general lol they’re so cute…….

For the finale, they all sang Just be Friends!! Irie started smiling and got us all to stand up. Again, Piko and Nori were dancing soooo much and generally looked like they were having the time of their lives. When it ended, they were the first to start egging kony and the audience on, getting us to cheer for another JBF?? They checked with he staff for time, and decided it should be alright, so they all started stripping off their jackets in preparation to sing again! They tried to get nero to take his off and he was resistant at first, saying if he didn’t have his jacket he’d just look like a grandpa, but he eventually did fling it off and nori fanboyed all over the place :’) meychan ripped his tie off and threw it to the ground to many screams. He also eventually took off his jacket but everyone laughed at him because hwas wearing all black underneath and suddenly looked so plain?? (his jacket was highly patterened) Everyone kept yelling at piko to take something off too but he told us there was nothing he could remove and that he only had a tanktop underneath!! He ended up taking off his shoes to show off his bright red socks, and then nori took off a shoe to reveal that he actually had matching socks! They also tried to get kony to remove something but he really didn’t have anything to take off…. He peeled the guest pass sticker which had migrated from his pants pocket to his shirt pocket and stuck it on someone’s shoulder (meychan??). They finally sang JBF one very last time and everyone on stage looked like they were having so much fun!! Nori and piko were doing the can-can at one point…. They pointed their mics to us and got us to sing the chorus! It was such a blast. For the jump, kony said he would do it, and I could see someone motioning to the others the delay their jump so it looked like they were being shaken by kony landing. There’s an amazing picture of kony mid-jump on twitter…….

It was a fun night of familiar songs arranged in a refreshing new way!! It was a very Kony event and I really liked all the cast members a lot!

A concert to end the year of 2018!! First performance was a band performance featuring Gero and his band! Second performance was with a DJ and featured Gero and Team Nicorai (Yugepo/ASK/Kogeinu/Kawamura(Dasoku) + special guest Yumamiya)! This was held at Shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE.

We were pretty far in the back but got decent viewing in the middle! Both of his tour logo cloth displays were hanging in the back. They did the usual announcements, but no one said the usual “はーい” in response to the first rule, so the announcer (I still don’t know who it is?!) was like, “y-you guys should at least say something? What about a “はい”??” So everyone laughed and did as they were told.

Then, the music started playing and everyone came out!! They started with BELOVEDxSURVIVAL, just like in his tour’s original day! He ended up doing like, a best of the best mix of both his tour days’ setlists. I loved it so much!! Of what I could remember, he did rainbow girl, unknown mother goose, udon, rinne, bandits, and hello! For hello, he said that during his tour he got everyone to grab each others shoulders, but this time he wouldn’t tell us when to do it. We all ended up swaying around arm in arm by the first chorus, but the rows were going different ways so during the break he laughed at us and said we were all バラバラ……. He started directing us a little until we were all in unision and then started joking around and went way too fast.

As for talk parts! He introduced the drummer, who was the main drummer for HoneyWorks! He said he was used to a completely different crowd because honeyworks’ audiences are usually teenagers. Kaizoku ou talked about how he’s called ouji at honeyworks events, so he did his thing with the audience which ended with “I’m everyone’s prince”, to which everyone started yelling and hooting. Gero then said that in a normal audience there’d be “kyaaa”s but because this was his audience everyone is just cheering wildly instead looool. Gero also told us about how pasta was going to be the DJ for the night concert! He mentioned daso- no, kawamura-san, and said he was so excited to see him and sing with him again!! He really loves that guy LOOOL he didn’t even bring up any of the others. He also talked about how he’s been feeling sick, kind of? Dizziness, or something. He asked if there was any doctors in the audience and I don’t think there was, but some people offered up advice from experience anyways! Someone said it could be from stress or fatigue and he was like HMMM I don’t think I’ve had any stress???? (we laughed) Oh but I’ve been fatigued…… Hopefully he gets that sorted out lol…..

The countdown tote + appropriate chang gero sonic 2018 badges



Reppin' the AsEver merch



For the night event, we ended up placing ourselves in similar positions to the afternoon event, but the venue was even more crowded than the afternoon, which surprised me! The mochi and kuji were sold out by the time we got there, which was kind of a bummer, but I already got the felt tote right after the first concert ended so at least that meant I didn’t have to line up! They gave us a money envelope on the way in, which surprised me a little!

Money envelope!



There was a screen up this time! For the countdown. ASK was the one doing the announcements, and at the first はーい he responded in a deep sultry voice いい子だ and you could positively hear the sparkles in his voice……. People screamed. He kept doing it with every response too…. He ended up going “皆いい子だね” and we all laughed…… You could also hear gero laughing in the background at one point.

They all came on stage and sang fire flower right off the bat!! I could see something on ask’s neck and it looked like a tattoo??????? I turned to hisame touching my neck and we just exchanged bewhildered looks, and did the same with linn LMAO WE WERE SO CONFUSED BUT DELIGHTED……

They did a few solos and duets and then it was already time for the countdown!! They started the new year with a group GOLD, because he said that’s what he wanted this year to be like!! They were given cup noodle soba? To eat. Yuge took one bowl, and koge took the other! Yuge shared some with gero and dasoku, I think, and ask looked like he wanted some too but koge was totally snorting his down with amazing speed and gave no indication that he was going to give any to ask?! In the end ask showed us his bowl and he had completely cleared it, soup and all.

I don’t remember when songs were done, but ASK and kogeinu did matryoshka!!!!!! yuge/ASK/koge did bandits, yuge did an original song which was really nice, and ASK did tengaku ofc. Yugepo also did butterfly! And gero/koge did hello dystopia. did dasoku did shinpakusuu #0822 which I wasn’t expecting but it couldn’t have been anyone but him hahahha. ASK and dasoku did inokori sensei! Right before they started singing they talked about how they never sang together before in an upload, and maybe even in concerts too?? They were really good though, I love that song so much…… ASK and yugepo sand cantarella!! Yuge put on a fancy masquerade mask and afterwards said he couldn’t see a thing because he didn’t have his glasses on, and then put them on right over the mask. Koge sang USA and both gero and yugepo came out to dance the chorus with him!! Honestly he was really good at the dance?! eventually, ASK joined them as well, and for the very last chorus they dragged dasoku out and tried to teach him to do it too…. he barely gave an attempt at dancing and we all laughed, especially gero :’) Koge also sang kanjou no pixel!! Both his songs were….. wow lmao. I think it was dasoku who solo’d flamingo, and it actually took me a while before I realised what song it was?? It was really good though. Kogeinu and dasoku also did a duet but I… don’t remember what!! At the beginning though, he asked dasoku what he wanted to be called because hes been confused and he was like “…..kawamura” “ah, okay, let’s go with dasoku then” KOGE PLEASE….. ASK sang STELLA from PLANETALE and asked us to let him be an idol for a bit….. he even…. DANCED….. VERY IDOL. He also did Romeo with gero, and gero did his “kocchi koi ya” and ask was like WHY. They talked about it afterwards and apparently gero didn’t do it during rehearsal so it totally caught ask off-guard…. Gero said he was dedbating doing it up until the very last minute, and then it sort of just came out LMAOOO I love him. For another one of his solos, gero said he specifically didn’t have this song in the afternoon performance so he could sing it now…. daijoubu da yo!! We all immediately started doing the actions and he was like everyone knows it!! Nice!! Then, they ended with Mind Craft for a perfect finish~

Then it was time for the encore. They all came out and gero…. Was leading someone out with his arm around his shoulder?! AND IT WAS YUMAMIYA!!!!! Everyone yelled and screamed a lot and I was like wailing into my towel….. I had totally forgotten that he was watching because I was having so much fun so it really shocked me to suddenly see him. He said he was watching from the second floor and actually made the hand motions and stuff, and that it was his first time doing so because he usually just watches? They all sang black rock shooter together, and yumamiya kept getting pushed to the middle by everyone… they’d throw their arm around his shoulder and lead him to the middle while still singing. After the song was a talk part! They made yumamiya talk first and he was like…. Why….. he said he actually really wanted to sing gold, so they last-minute decided to sing it again?! But first, they got through the rest of the last words. Gero kept asking when he would upload, and they were on this for a while, until he suddenly broke off to directly address the crowd and was like “I’ve never uploaded before, you know. Okay?” also someone in the audience at some point asked him to do an elmo voice and he was like” I have no idea what that means” BOI……… When they finally sand GOLD again they all did the same thing, trying to lead yumamiya back to the middle as often as possible because he kept tryin to escape to the sides….. he jumped up and down sooo much though!!! It looked like he was having so much fun…… someone had pulled his hood up over his head at some point and I saw him pull it down in the middle of the song and he clearly mouthed “暑い！！“ it was very cute….. He also legit danced at one point!! I guess they asked him to moonwalk?? Everyone cheered so loudly lol. There were also deafening cheers the first time gero put his arms around yumamiya while they were singing!!! I think everyone was really really happy…… I sure was.

I went to see AsEver (ASK/Yumamiya/kyii/Aomofu) and High and Low (96neko/Touyu) at Fuyucomi’s second day, on Sunday! This was when all the vocaloid-related things were there.

We got there a little late so we were put in the farther waiting area…. I spent the time waiting writing my letters as usual :’) This time they were quite short, because I didn’t have too much to say and couldn’t really think properly anyways (I was pretty dang sick). I really liked the paper I got this time though!! It was star themed, which was perfect for PLANETALE, and had actual silver foil on it and this really nice pastel rainbow fade.



Letters :’)

Once we got in, we beelined to AsEver’s table!! The line wasn’t too bad. This really regally beautiful lady was helping manage the line and as I lined up I caught a glance at her nametag, realising it was actually kyii!! She had long straight black hair with blue extensions in it and looked so cool…. I ended up in ASK’s line again hahahaha. In a panic I immediately handed the letters over to ask and I ended up getting basically everything….. The entire set, another earcuff because I love it so much, and the asuneru book from kyii! It happened in a flash…. He actually asked if I wanted two bracelets which threw me off a bit?! Only like half my mind was there because I kept looking over to yumami fsdhgjkfhhdfkgjk he had an orange extension in his hair….. The both of them were wearing masks! After the three of us were done, we gathered to the side and freaked out a little (read: a lot).

Then it was time for me to move off to tackle High and Low’s insane line ;-; There was an olderish? lady who was in front of me and she asked if I was there for 96neko and kept talking to me, but she was very nice! She talked about others who she was there to see and I was pretty surprised at the variety. There were also two very young looking kids nearby me, and I saw that one was using the same picture for their keyboard background as I had as my lock screen lmaoooo it was that picture of 96 and soraru from stars on planet :’)
While I was waiting, I had time to take a look at my surroundings a little! AsEver’s line had been broken off and put outside as well, so it looked like we had just made it in time before the big crowd….. cleanero was two tables away from AsEver, and Alfakyun was at the very end of their row. HanaPoko were next to High and Low!! Pokota was so tall…. I could see him clearly over everyone’s head from my spot in the line, even with his line right in front of him hahaha. Hanatan was so so so so so cute omfg!!!!!! She was wearing round glasses and smiled so big as she talked to everyone that greeted her and just generally looked like sunshine. She was wearing a very cute hoodie dress.

The High and Low line really was super long, but luckily I did manage to land 96’s line!! She was farthest to the left, with someone (I don’t know who;;) next to her handling cashier. Saki was also handling cashier, I think, and touyu was farthest to the right! I got 96’s cd Tears, the acrylic charm, and the choker! I felt a little bad because I only had a 10k note but it seemed to be fine…. Then, I handed her my letter and told her I was a fan from Canada…. She and the cashier made surprised sounds and she looked like she was searching for something to say? Then suddenly, I heard “Are you from Canada?” in English! I was so surprised, but I replied back in English “Yes, I am!” while laughing. She said something along the lines of “thank you very much!” and I ran off while saying “see you again” She was so cute…………………… I was very happy!!

I met up with linn and hisame again, and AsEver’s line had shortened! One by one, we went back up to the one we didn’t initially line up for and bought something else…. I was dumb and bought everything immediately so I opted to get another asuneru book from yumami….. It was a very quick exchange but I told him I’m supporting him from now on too….. I was so crazy to see him being a real moving human…… And to hear that voice……. He was smiling so much and it was obvious even with the mask on!! He and ASK have quite the height difference LMFAOOO

We headed out after that because we didn’t have anything else to get and were pretty tired….. There was still asamaru’s utaren for linn and I at night so I wanted to sleep a little before then.

Comiket loot + asamack merch!



The beautiful CDs I got~

This was a collaboration even between Canaria and Millfy bars, featuring clear, amu, and yuuku on the Canaria side, and Nero, Shack, and kec on the Millfy side! The two managers were acting as bartenders in the back. It was basically a Christmas party for the regular attendees of the bars, and many girls dressed up in santa girl or reindeer girl outfits.

I didn’t go to the first event, but for the second event, they did the singing first and then the rest of the time was meant for mingling and drinking! Yuuku and amu both sang solos, then did a duet with each other! Shack and kec did the same. Then, cleanero did 3 solos together!! They did startdust utopia which I looooove so much, so I was really pleased! Then, the party was in full swing! Quite a few bottles of champagne were popped and everyone was very busy visiting table to table to do cheers! Shack and Nero got drunk quite quickly and I was pretty obvious hahaha. They had raffles going with every drink that you purchased! There were signed boards by all of the performers, and then two four-hour free passes for millfy, and two 2-hour rental tickets of canaria!! Incredibly generous prizes! I didn’t win anything, but it looks like some of the attendees who had gotten a loooot of drinks had won. As we left, nero was drunkenly sticking his head out between the curtains in the hallways saying goodbye to all of us. It was clear he was drunk out of his mind, but he was so cute……

For the night event, there was no formal singing and it was mostly just mingling and drinking!! Even more bottles of champagne were popped, to a really impressive degree honestly. Some people took the stage when they felt like singing! Shack sang a bit. I think this was when I saw clear in the back, holding a lightstick, going hard with the cheering. Later on, he got on stage with it and said that he doesn’t know if it was given to him or lent to him, but he’ll give it back if they ask for it, and then stuck it onto a mic stand with the colour still set on blue. I think he also sang a bit? Nero was on the audience floor being himself, cheering cutely in a kind of daze. They were all really busy attending to most of the guests, so hisame and I were mostly keeping to ourself and possibly scaring off others by speaking rapidfire English hahaha….. Nearing the end of the event, I did pass by amu at one point and he noticed me so I said hi!! I’m touched that he still remembered me even though I go to Canaria so infrequently :’) At the end as we were leaving, clear caught us in the hallway and was asking us if we were from canaria or millfy! We were halfway through a conversation when lots of others started stremaingout of the hall, and he got caught up saying goodbye to everyone else so we didn’t know if we should just leave…?! We ended up quickly telling him goodbye and he kind of grabbed our hands cheerfully and shook them while saying bye, so cute!! He was clearly quite drunk too lol.

It was a really interesting event!! I wish I hadn’t been so sick so I could’ve drank a little bit more ( I wanted to try the special guests’ cocktails, but it was still fun regardless! It’s so cool how they can do these kinds of things with their fans….. What a good way to spend Christmas Eve~

An event for 20+ attendees to drink and listen to utaite sing through the night!! Hosted by Kony again, this time the lineup was alfakyun, irei ryou (rairu), clear, Nero, koma’n, Kettaro, NORISTRY, and Mary! Utamaro, eMu, shack, and Nayugorou started off the “session” part of the event, after the main performances. It got pretty wild as everyone got more and more drunk but we got to see a lot of collaboration and it was super fun!!

I really don’t remember the first hour much;; That was when all the legit performances were done. As the event began, all of the main cast got on stage right away. It seems some of them had already been drinking before the event started! 

• Alfakyun in particular kept talking about drinking
• Cleanero did digitaliser
• KETSUKOMA were in sunglasses and hawaiian shirts and said something about coming back from California? I didn’t really understand what they were talking about but they were pretending to have an american accent
• KETSUKOMA did what i think was a rootfive song? They danced as they sang and were super good… 

After all those performances, everyone filed onto the stage with drinks in hand! alfakyun was carrying two cups and everyone laughed at her. Kony talked a bit to lead up to the KANPAI but rairu had already nearly finished his drink during that time LOL so fakyun gave him one of hers! We all cheers’d and then there was a break for everyone to get drinks. This is where it gets pretty messy, so I think a lot of what I remember isn’t chronologically correct!!

About half the audience broke from the front of the stage to head for the bar, so i followed along! Outside in the bar area, some of the performers were already mingling. I remember Kony and rairu for sure…. there was kind of a buzz at one point and i turned around to see [redacted] right behind me!! they were being pushed along by fakyun and I think they had one other person in their party? I grabbed a drink and headed back to the stage floor, which had cleared out so much that I ended up getting pretty close!

The session starter crew came in with their drinks and sang a song together as a group, with fu-rin and wing left of the band members. Each of them were going to do solos! I don’t remember who was first, but apparently that group song was what he was intending to sing solo so he had to find something else on the fly hahaha. They ended up pulling out an ipad to help everyone look for songs/lyrics/scores as they sang. One of them sang shoujo rei, which I love a lot, so i was really pleased! I *think* it was eMu? Nayugorou was last (she lost at rock scissors paper and still walked onto stage at first until eMu complained lol). She sang a lovely Metronome and was kind of staggering around because she was already pretty drunk haha

After their performances, they asked if anyone in the audience wanted to come up and sing but only the really drunk people were yelling LMAO so wing said she might be able to get a special guest, if they’re still around!! I don’t know if they’re allowed to be named since another person that ends up singing later on very clearly asked us not to say anything about them performing…… so….. After a few moments [redacted] appeared on the stage, surprising me and the rest of the audience!! They sang 3 rock songs (senbonzakura!!) at full power and was like, “Isn’t this basically a one-man live?!”. There was kind of a commotion behind me and I turned around to nero almost right behind me!! He was cheering and waving his arms around for [redacted] like a fangirl, and then they walked off stage and he was like “huh….? It’s over already???” and looked soo heartbroken LOL….. Some others took the stage: clear, who sat in a chair, and I think nori and rairu? nero kept waving at those two and making hearts….. Then clear went “eh? where’d nero go?” and everyone around me immediately pointed to him hahahahaha I think? they sang? and many people started swapping in and out after that!!

• One guy that said he was koma’ns drinking friend hopped on stage and nearly did a comedy routine?? he was very energetic! his singing voice was really amazing too!! he sang with two or three others, while koma’n was in the back of the audience area somewhere. 
• koma'n ended up coming onto the stage with a group of others, but i really needed to pee so i left for a bit! Outside, I saw that a bunch of the performers were just hanging around talking to attendees/friends. I remember seeing Nayugorou in particular, pretty close to the doors. When i got back, I was surprised to see [redacted] on stage with the group that had walked on when I left!!! They had already finished singing and were wrapping up, but I was there in time to see them give a gigantic smooch on the cheek to someone (rairu??) to thunderous cheering.
• Mary, who had looked pretty nervous for most of the day, showed up at some point and nero got her to sing a very cute kataomoi solo!!
• Kettaro was pulled into the stage at another point and I think he sang with someone else?
• Kony sang marunouchi sadistic with a group!!
• fakyun dueted Hit You 8759632145 Times With This Piano with someone! That person said he thought of a song to sing and told us, “it’s the song wing hates”
• while someone else was singing, kony did a tequila shot to lots of cheers
• With the exception of wing, most of the band members were swapping in and out, so a lot of the performers ended up taking over the intruments!! especially all the percussion LOL mary seemed to take a liking to them.
• During one song, nero played the drums while kony, fakyun, and mary all hit the cymbals and other extra percussion
• For another song, nero took the bass!!
• Another well-known bassist (i should know his name but i forgot!!!) ended up climbing onto the stage to play for us a bit.
• they sang memeshikute again with a big group! maybe this was before the cheers? The people in front of me were actually moving along with their dancing
• Fakyun was made to sing even though she wanted to go back and drink LOL she kept talking about her umeshuu. Kony wanted her to do tequila shots, so she called out [redacted] to make them take one with her. They ended up singing sakuranbo and kony would chant during the chorus to get them to drink?? She ended up taking two of them and then kony gave one to wing! they caleld fakyun so manly~ and she said she was definitely not appearing again on the stage after this
• [redacted] pointed out that there seemed to be quite a few males in the audience and did their usual thing with the crowd
• kony also kept saying mey-chan for some reason, and someone else on stage was like “mary????” but we didn’t really get any clarification because he was so drunk…..
• [redacted] also sang magnet with nori!!!!! he looked so surprised and excited and starstruck when he was called up LOL THEY WERE SO GOOD……. It was a piano-only accompaniment at that point because everyone else had disappeared…. After that was when [redacted] told us that we couldn’t say they sang tonight and everyone was like ok!!!!

Really random bits:

• Nero’s hair was super cute for this event… It was like…. a very relaxed look? He didn’t have his usual middle part!! someone (nori?) kept pointing out how cute he was and he was like “that’s embarrassing~” (cute!!!)
• A lot of them were getting real feelsy with each other as the night went on, probably partially because they needed to support each other so they didn’t trip and fall LOL.
• mary had found herself a spot at the front of the audience instead of on stage LOL, it seemed like she had friends with her!! One of her friends sang a few lines on stage before passing it off to someone else!
• nori and rairu talked about how they knew each other a while back and rairu was like half a head shorter than nori, but now he’s HUGE
• some cleanero fangirls were behind me and got clear to sing fire flower!! it was super fun
• Two people on stage were chanting the pokeball catching sound as someone made their way to the bass and wing played the “captured” jingle when they got to it
• nori and rairu seemed to be on stage a lot?? nori seemed to have his wits about but rairu looked pretty dang drunk to me.
• nori flirted with the audience and all the members a lot??? he kept making cutesy motions and winking and waving. He seemed really popular with the crowd

As it was nearing time to close, only wing, nori, and rairu were left on stage. They tried to find kony for a while and he finally showed up, drunk as hell, and sat down on the chair on stage and looked like he was about to pass out about 75% of the time. rairu finished the drink he was carrying and then mary gave him hers from the audience which he downed immediately. nero also appeared, responsible as ever, and helped with closing!! Kony said it was fine to go until the very last minute (It was supposed to close at 4:00 but the venue was booked til 4:30) because we’d all pick up and leave very quickly, right?? and we all agreed :’) Some people that were still present made some personal announcements, and then kony and nero talked about how they might do something like this again, maybe!! And so, it was the end, and we all picked up and left quickly as per instruction, to catch our morning trains home. 

It was such a crazy and fun experience and I’m really glad I went!! I hope I they do this again sometime~

I went to Ikasan’s birthday live!! Guests were Alfakyun and Shoose~





The moment she walked on stage, I heard the girls behind me going “yabai…..” And they were very justified…. She was dressed in a super fancy outfit and looked so cute!!! The sleeves were very loose and frilly and her hair was done so stylishly! she looked like a prince~ during an mc portion she’s like, isn’t this outfit very much a birthday outfit?

She sang Tokyo Teddy Bear and Liar Dance and afterwards talked about how they’re very important songs to her….. She said Tokyo Teddy Bear was one of the songs she though was super fun to sing! It was also the first of her uploads to really get some traction. At one point she got the girls and guys to cheer separately and was shocked at how energetic the guys were… she said she was gonna make a big deal out of getting them to yell but they did it on their own right away hahaha

She had an anisong portion where she sang the OP? for psycho pass and a few others. Then, she performed a song for her character in one of the stage productions she’s participated in!! She walked off the stage in the middle of the song and it was time for the band members to shine!! When the song was over, they set up a piano in the front and she played and sang Calc…. It was super nice! She said that it was super difficult to play but she absolutely wanted to play it.

When introducing the band members, she had something funny to say about all of them! she said something about the first guitarist’s smile and everyone went whoo~~~~ The drummer was being very flashy but missed catching his drumstick and she was like IT FINALLY HAPPENED YESSSSS. She also introduced the engineer (?), who used that bot everyone uses in namahousou to read comments to talk to us. She asked if there was anyone in the audience that didn’t know this voice and some people actually raised their hands 0:

Then, it was time for the guests to come on!! She sang kimi iroiro utsuri with alfakyun and they flirted a lot to lots of screaming~ every time they passed by each other while walking to the other end of the stage they’d exchange Looks…. Then at the very end, ikasan said it was special today so she told alfakyun I LOVE YOU!!! and alfakyun looked like a deer in headlights LMAO…..  they went right into MC so she spent most of it hyperventilating and making weird squeezing gestures with her hands LMAO IT WAS SUPER FUNNY…. she’s so energetic!! They talked about how while ikasan was brushing her teeth she wanted to see inside her mouth… or… something……. Sha also talked about her makeup and said that while it makes her look really cool while singing cool songs, but when she smiles it’s scary? Ikasan faces her (away from me) and I guess she smiles because alfakyun tells her to stop that and to never do it again so she’s the only person that gets to see it LOL
They introduce the next song very slowly… 
koshi



tantan
and the sound from the audience is AMAZING, I was freaking out myself going “OH SHIT”
They sounded sooo good……. Then as the song ended alfakyun left the stage AND…… IFUU DOUDOU STARTED UP….. MORE SCREAMING and shoose enters the stage!!! they also exchange looks every time they pass each other…. and stood back to back for part of the song!! People really screamed a lot LOL it was a lot of fun….. Then they had a little time to talk and shoose wished her a happy birthday!! He got us to say it too but looked sooo unsure while doing it and even called himself out on it LOL cute….. ikasan said she took a selfie with shoose backstage but he was still in the middle of makeup so he had like a dollop of pink on his forehead?? They then sang roki and actually took selfies during that part of the song, very impressive.
She does a few more songs solo (haikei doppleganger!!) and for the last song of the encore she sang Tell Your World! I was wondering when it was gonna come up hahaha.

Finally, she and the band take a bow, and shoose and alfakyun come out with a cake and present!! The present was a surprise for her of messages written by the attendees for both osaka and tokyo performances! I think they said she already saw it backstage though LOL but that’s fine…. alfakyun handed it to her and she said she’d go through the messages carefully when she gets home~ Shoose was holding the cake so he didn’t have the mic, but alfakyun held it to him enough for him to tell her to open the present up in a very onee way :’) They take a picture and the two guests attempt to make a heart around her with their arms (it doesn’t work so well), and then it’s the end!!
except the screen flashes after she finally leaves the stage and it says she’s releasing an album next year, yayyyy!!!



I really enjoyed how she talked about each song on the setlist and how they were very important to her… I could feel her love and care….. It was a really fun performance!! I hope to see her again sometime~

Stars on Planet 2018
I went to both performances of this year’s Stars on Planet! Presented by ZimuinG, the singers were 96neko, Aho no Sakata, Amatsuki, Soraru, Natsushiro Takaaki, and Eve! The theme was Le Petit Prince.



I just barely made the start;; Even though i was cutting it really close, I wanted to pick up the towel and some of the blind draws for merch because I was worried they’d sell out like the shirt and signlight….. There was some confusion on my seat so it took a few songs before I was able to sit down! I was on the second floor so it was pretty hard to see, and i couldn’t see the top of the screen in the back so sometimes pictures or performers’ faces would get cut off;; but I was very close to the middle, at least!

They started with the story introduction, then everyone followed with solos. 96 mentioned this would happen in an earlier stream, but the audience was generally a sea of red and blue LOL because amatsuki, 96neko, and sakatan are red; soraru and eve are blue; and Natsushiro Takaaki was yellow! Soraru sang yoake to hotaru really nicely!! That’s around when I was able to get to my seat, which is very lucky because soon afterwards was 96neko’s solo!!! As soon as she walked onto the stage, even though it was completely dark, everyone knew who it was because of her silhouette HAHAHA…. She was wearing a black gown with red accents (roses?) and a very cute crown….. She had the cutest long blonde hair to match~ She sang so beautifully and it was my first time hearing her live so I cried the entire time….. Her voice is really really amazing!!! It’s so powerful and full of emotion and yet very very pretty…… The Prince’s flower bloomed behind her as she finished the song.

Sakata’s solo was a very cute song, I liked it a lot! I don’t know the title though~
96 and sakata sang kimi no shiranai monogatari together!! it was very pretty. They also sang another song with amatsuki and natsushiro! It was a lot of red lights punctated with a few yellows hahaha. In one of the group songs, 96 falls down the steps coming down and gave everyone in the audience a shock!! She got up and seemed to be okay though, which was a relief. They also did 3 nayutan seijin songs! Soraru and Amatsuki dueted the first one (Myoujou Galactica) and got the audience to all stand up and have some fun by singing along to some parts!!

96′s second solo was Starduster!! Her voice was SOOO POWERFUL it nearly blew my face off she was so good!!! It’s incredible that someone is able to sing live like that ahhhhhhhhhhh

At the very end of the story, actual actors came out, playing the prince and pilot!! I thought it was very nice….

They finished with little traveller. Eve, soraru, and 96 came to sing their parts, then the other three followed for the second verse. At the end, they went up one by one to take a bow as their name and birthdates/horoscope signs showed on the screen behind.

Then, there was an encore!! They did a bit of talking before the last song. 96 was actually pretty quiet at first!! She waved at us a lot though. She looked so tiny compared to everyone else omggg and her yukata was so cute!! She changed into a brown midlength wig, it was really pretty. Soraru seemed to be leading the talk for most of it. They walked up the stairs to see the boards where everyone had written messages on glow-in-the-dark stars to stick on, and I think soraru complained about heights hahaha. He asked if anyone wrote wishes, and said it was mostly names…. apparently he found one that says “may sakata always be happy (or healthy…?)”. When they returned to the front of the stage, 96 suddenly moved to the very end of the line to the left and amatsuki looked at her questioningly. Apparently she just wanted to be standing in the same order they were earlier lol. Everyone made pretty short statements! While the others were talking, they’d sit along the platform waiting. At one point 96 helps to fix either Eve or Natsuki Takaaki’s wires for his earpiece? They were cute. For 96′s part, she mentioned ZimuinG so she turns to the piano and is like “…oh he’s not even here” (he was behind them). They leave Amatsuki to talk last for some reason? Then, they take a commemoration photo with everyone. 96 gets helped up by the photographer~ They sing one last song (I FORGOT IT….) and the curtains are drawn!!

When the stage has cleared, the musicians return and they allow us to take pictures of the stage for 5 minutes! At the end there’s a bunch of dates and locations listed on the screen and I didn’t know what they were for, but found out later they’re for the exhibition and popup shop that they’ll be doing!! So I’ll be able to get the signlight yayy





We all file out and I try to get two more kuji but they’re sold out just as I get to place my order ;-; I head over to put stars on the board since I didn’t have time when I arrived and also grab a fan! I also send off my letters~



I line up to get in for the second performance, and when I’m in i grab some pictures of the standees!! I stood there for over 5 minutes waiting for it to be clear enough LMAO everyone kept running up to them…. especially soraru’s omfg it barely had a free second??



I also went to write some messages on the stars~



During one of the group songs soraru missed his lines twice it was really cute?? he was too busy like, smiling and waving and looking at the other members flmgnkdfjgfdgmnfg

This time I didn’t cry at 96′s first solo but I cried at her second…….. She was as perfect as she was in the first performance :’)

This time when they were called back for the encore, soraru started making his way towards the signed boards like, “let’s see what people wrote” and amatsuki, who was behind him starting next up the stairs, said “okay just you go, bye” They all eventually made their way up though hahaha. 96 was crouched at one sign for a long time reading the fewer ones on the bottom (most people put their stars at eye level, near the top!). Soraru again asks if anyone wrote any wishes and goes “Ah! This one says, ‘May Sakatan become smarter!!’” and Amatsuki pipes up with “Oh, this one says ‘May Soraru-san become a better person’”

The MC part for everyone is short once again!! 96 says she has an announcement!! ….She didn’t fall this time LOL. They talk about her super cool platform shoes and she tries to show them off (the yukata limits her flexibility a bit). Sakata has a red flower decoration in his hair (I’m not sure if it was there in the first performance?) and everyone shouts that he’s cute, to which he says “Everyone in the audience is the cute one~” and flirts with the camera DLKGHS the screams were deafening. He also goes up to soraru and touches his hair for some reason? I’m not sure if he was just bringing attention to his hair accessory or if he was adding to it lol

They got ZimuinG to talk a bit and he got lots of cheers and name calls~
They end the night with Natumatsuri!! It was so fun, I really love that song! As the curtains were closing they started crouching to wave at us for as long as possible….. They looked like they had a lot of fun and it was very cute!!

I ended up facetrading a girl for some 96neko merch~ Didn’t even try for soraru’s because everyone and their mom was on the hunt for his but it’s okay!!! At least I have something I wanted!



It was a really pretty performance! Everything was so atmospheric and fancy and the songs fit the story nicely! The outfits were all so nice too~
