I went to the 2G summer festival!! The first part was an assortment of concert performances from 2013 to 2015. For the second part, they showed some behind the scenes footage and then YU, Mi-chan, and Kettaro did a small talk portion!

I was pretty close to the front for the first part which was GREAT because then I could see the screen clearly B) There was a package of assorted goods left for us in our seats! The girl next to me had also never been able to attend a 2G event, just like me, so we were just kinda looking around wondering what it was gonna be like… Everyone around me was Kaname-chan fans LMAO. I brought a small lightstick and some others did too!! Before the video started, mi-chan and kettan were up front taking some polaroids and talking to the attendees

For the first like…. two songs….. every time tenchou showed up there was so much squealing omfg I could help but laugh…… It was really nice to see his face though!! He smiled so much, it warmed my heart…. And I could finally see koge too!!!! he wore the inukai wig the ENTIRE TIME but he was very cute. he’s so cool performing, i’d really like to see him again….. They included so many good songs!! The standard group ones, of course, but even my favourites gemini and chiguhagu!! The girl in front of my actually started crying once chiguhagu came on….. The version of under the sun they played was the one where ramu got so many cheers for being a chuuni he broke chara and started laughing and couldn’t sing the next line of the song HAHAHA….. Oh!! they also showed double face. It was really nice seeing it without the character censors plastered all over it lol they were all very cool!!!! And soon it came to an end. But, one thing was missing….? Tenchou’s solo was strange world, very close to the beginning. But where was dokusai girl?? WELL, they had an encore with crazy night and dokusai girl!!! and people around me cried a lot LOL it really was a gathering of tenchou fans;;; Dokusai girl was so fun…. We all did the cheers and it was really nice to be able to do it in an actual group for once ;v;

Before the second part, YU joined mi-chan and kettaro on stage and they took polaroids with some attendees that paid for it!! The service was really incredible?! I was shocked at what they were willing to do LMAO they had their arms around them, sometimes from behind, lent their jackets to wear, PRINCESS CARRIED, and I saw kettan kabedon a girl and almost touch noses with several others HOW DARING……. I almost wanted a picture too for the memories but that was too terrifying LOL

The amount of tenchou/kaname-chan fans really was a ridiculous… at one point there was a huge commotion of squealing behind me in a group of girls and I didn’t really understand what was going on… until I looked at my phone 3 minutes later and realised that amenosei had just UPLOADED CHARLES AHHHHH!!! I was excitedly telling the girl next to me who we had just taught about sei-chan during the break, and the girl next to me had opened the agency site at the same time I did… it really was amazing

To start the second part, they played a lot of behind the scenes footage. Some of it has been posted online or have been included in the live DVDs or bonuses, but some I haven’t seen before. It spread across 2G’s history so there was even some of T-kun! For example, while they were practising for that performance with the candles, kettan fell asleep in the corner so they put the candles around him and snapped a bunch of pictures. There was also a part where they went out into the countryside? It might be ramu’s hometown, I’m not sure… but they were fooling around in a giant backyard and it looks like they had a fun sleepover. There was also footage from YU and Tenchou’s trip to vietnam, and some from their Taiwan and LA trips~

Then, the trio return to the stage! They get these stools but yu’s kept falling lower and lower so he ended up standing near the end lol. They introduce themselves and realise they all go by their real names now LOL… They talk about what they’ve been doing in the last three years. YU says he’s been working, but also mentioned the one-man live he did! Kettan said he mostly hasn’t left the house, but did talk a little about his various activities. Mi-chan said much of what he does is with Kettaro so there’s not much for him to mention. They joke about him playing tennis so much recently hahaha.

Then, they answer some questions from the audience! One question asked them what they liked about the other members and they were like ehhh that’s…… only mi-chan answered and the other two dodged it by asking to move onto the next question LOL. I think they were asked about their favourite songs? The listed off a whole bunch, but kettan in particular had a lot of tenchou’s songs on his list and he joked that it was because he messes around so much. For songs with important memories, YU chose farewell!! They were also asked about their favourite memories from working in 2G, and Yu talked about how they drank all night in Osaka once! All their favourite memories seemed to revolve around partying with the staff after events :’)

For the last segment, they were given questions to write their answer to, and those signboards they wrote on were given away in a lottery! The first question was which 2G chara most fit the “summer” image. Most of the audience said mi-chan, so they were like not the real person, we’re asking about the character, okay?! not just because he plays tennis!! They ended up settling on Ichikata (though I think koge would have been a good choice too).The next question was about summer activities. I’m not sure what they answered here but they all gave the same answer! The last question was swimsuits vs yukata on girls. Both YU and mi-chan chose swimsuits, and kettan chose yukata! team swuimsuit talked about how you see yukata so often during festivals that swimsuits are more special lol. Then, they gave away the boards! Each of them drew 3 numbers from a box. When mi-chan called out his numbers, he stopped suddenly as the first girl stood up and had this horrified expression on his face… then he apologised profusely because he said the wrong number!! so the girl went to sit back down and accidentally broke a glass as she was heading back so it was a whole thing and he looked so distraught….. then when everything was cleared he said the number properly and….???? IT WAS THE SAME NUMBER LOL HE DIDN’T HAVE IT WRONG IN THE FIRST PLACE….. we all laughed so much and he stood up to go face the back wall LOL HE’S SO CUTE……
And that was bascially the end of the event!! It was really fun so see these guys again and re-live our 2G memories~

I went to C94! It’s a long story but I basically only saw Rogero Cras (ASK/Kogeinu/Gero/Yumamiya) and High and Low (96neko/Touyu)!

I woke up at like 6pm the day before and hadn’t gotten my letters written yet so I did not sleep (: Caught one of the first trains to Tokyo Big Sight and at 6:30am lined up for the West Hall where all the music stuff is, and sat down to write the rest of my letters to rogero cras…… The girl next to me had a 96neko towel and merch





At 10:00, we were finally let into the hall!! I was pleasantly surprised to see that rogero cras’ table was almost RIGHT next to the entrance!! I headed straight there but there was already a line building so I was nervous about getting ASK’s necklaces….. From where the line initially was, I could only really see ASK! He was in that same skull shirt from CGS~ I caught a glimpse of koge too but he was in a hat and mask…. 
They ended up moving the line to a better place (i think they did not expect that amount of people right away) and gero managed the beginning of the line while a helper organised the rest of us! Koge and ASK manned the table, handling a line each. I ended up in ASK’s line! Gero joked around with us telling us that this was his part-time job and fanned us a little, he was really cute!! They were being SUPER efficient and I was so worried about stock and having the right amount of money because I was going to be getting so many items (for both me and a friend) that I was sooo frazzled and shaky when it was finally my turn LOL AND ASK IS SO ATTRACTIVE AND TALL AND WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT ME AND SPEAKING TO ME SO GENTLY………. MY BRAIN WAS COMPLETELY ZAPPED…… I shoved eight letters at him and tried to explain that my friend gave letters too and he went through them looking a little surprised? I don’t know if it was because we both included mami or because of the sheer number LOL but he took them quickly and then i bought almost the entire table of goods….. I felt like a crazy person but he spoke so gently the entire time it’s still in my mind??? HE’S REALLY SWEET…. As i was pointing at everything I wanted, I was also partially distracted by koge’s voice right next to me;;;; It was really weird to hear this voice that I was so familiar with so clearly….. Anyways I think ASK quickly realised I was a foreigner because he said a number in English (asking how many of something I wanted) and when I left shoving the goods into my backpack he said thank you in English as well and I gave a surprised thank you back!!

I then rushed off to find High and Low as fast as possible because I was done with the first table unexpectedly quickly but their table was a lot harder to find….. I ended up losing my passcase+house key in my own idiocy which delayed me even more….. I only realised once I finally located their table, so i looped around and I looked for it a bit and went to lost and found but it wasn’t there, so I gave up and returned to line up.

THEIR LINEUP WAS OUTSIDE, LOOPING BACK AND FORTH…. it took me a full hour?? But that’s expected of such a powerhouse circle LOL…. halfway through, i heard squealing and turned around to see two girls fangirling super hard and one was almost crying omg…. they were wearing 96′s merch so I assume they just saw her and I smiled…. i was luckily in 96′s line!!! It seemed they were taking it a lot slower than rogero cras and were taking the time to talk to everyone so I felt a lot calmer…. I asked for what I wanted and then fumbled with the money a bit and then stood there for a beat too long because I wanted to say something to her but had nothing because I didn’t prepare myself beforehand;; She was so cute though!! she was also wearing a mask and had dyed her hair a light purple! She was also sooo calm I didn’t get a good look at touyu because I was so focused on her LOL I was so sad to leave I wanted to talk to her…….

But I really did have to go because I was getting increasingly worried about my keys….. I combed the area I was wandering earlier over and over again and kept checking with lost and found as well to no success…. As a result I got to pass by rogero cras a whole bunch of times HAHA i hope they didnt notice…… When their table started to slow down, I went up to gero asking if I could get their signatures because koge said the day before on his stream that it might be possible, but he told me no ;-; and he said sorry to me in english?! then i returned to on-and-off searching for my keys and resting because I was Dead Tired

After they sold out, I missed them giving away the poster but quickly went up to koge who was free (ASK was talking to someone else but I didn’t even get a look at who) and told him  「 “お疲れ様でした！！」and then realised I had nothing else and ran away LOL…. i heard him laughing a little in confusion as i left.
I stayed all the way past the douijn halls closing (4pm) til 5 to wait for all the lost and found to be gathered, and in a last-ditch attempt enquired one last time…. AND RETRIEVED MY PASSCASE!!!! OVERALL A GOOD DAY!!

I then headed straight home, fell asleep on the train, and immediately opened Mind Cluster to listen to mind craft and nonsense bungaku!!! AND THEY ARE SO GOOD!! THE ENTIRE ALBUM IS SO GOOD PLEASE BUY IT IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!! FANERU’S SINGING HAS LEVELED UP SOOO MUCH AND THE SONG SUITS HIM PERFECTLY!!!! AND MIND CRAFT IS LOADS OF FUN!! THE LEGENDARY FOUR FINALLY SING TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! IT WAS WORTH EVERYTHING!!! EVERY OTHER TRACK IS ALSO AMAZING!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!!! 

This is not very well written or anything and is 100% thought/word vomit as opposed to a real report but it sure describes some of the events of the day so if anyone’s interested!!

I saw gero say there was gonna be 5000 people so I wanted to get there early, but I missed my first bus so I barely made opening…. I went all the way to the back of the extremely long line before some girls asked me what number my ticket was and I realised I was 382 and where I was standing was in….. like the 2500s…… So I walked all the way back to the front.



Akiakane's illustrations of their avatars lined the walk into the venue

I’m really glad I got in early bc i had leeway to get shit before they were all sold out!! I ended up grabbing ASK’s earcuff even though i had decided earlier that I didn’t need it….. People were heading pretty frantically towards his merch line so I was like Okay same. It totally slipped my mind to actually get his CDs though and now i regret it :( I wanted to look at the tracklists…. I grabbed the character T-shirt and decided that was Enough for now. I intended to go back when koge and ASK were actually running their booths but i was too scared of losing my spots in the crowd so i never did……….



Super cute!!

There was all that collab food but I wanted to get a decent spot soon so I only grabbed a STRONG GERO and headed to the stage. I immediately regretted this because now I had this fucking cup with me and no bottled liquid supply, but I made it work



And here are the stages!





utsu-P was the DJ for the first hour and he played tonnes of good oldies from niconico, both vocaloid and not! It was a lot of fun and he got us pumped up!! It really set that nostalgic mood…. Lon’s ochame kinou was in there too ;o;

In the first stage, they immediately got everyone on stage and sang Mind Craft! I was scrambling to identify several people LMAO but Koge was pretty easy just from the way he generally dresses, and ASK was flashy as FUCK with tonnes of accessories….. He’s so TALL OMFG he and Gom seemed to be about the same height? They got dasoku to lift himself up on their shoulders HAHAHA. People that super stood out were underbar and araki…… underbar is obvious because of his outfit, but I’d never seen araki before so i thought he was a really really cool lookin girl LMAO his hair was so impressive!! All styled and curled and bright red!

After Mind Craft were some solos and collabs!! Glutan was first but i don’t remember the song…. Hanatan was absolutely amazing with Romeo to Cinderella!! I was so impressed by her voice control omg she’s a goddess……. cleanero sang Cantarella together and they were super good too!! I love them so much… They talked about how it was their first collab together and basically how nero got into utattemita. Touyu solo’d Unravel and hit those high notes so well?! And then Matryoshka with koge!! in a later stage gero joked that the two of them looked like a hip-hop duo and koge said that out of all utaite (present?) he probably looks the most like a he can rap LOL. Gom sang World is Mine and he struggled a bit with some parts, it was pretty funny! As expected of that song…… Underbar was SUPER cute and so energetic?? he did This is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee and changed the chorus lyrics to “underbar is? THE BEST” and the crowd was sooo into it, it was super fun! He did a duet as well, I think, but I don’t remember with who or what;; I think it was during this stage that Yugepo also joined someone for a Panda Hero duet while wearing a panda mask and ended up throwing it into the crowd at some point. tbh there are a whole bunch of performances that i’m missing it was such a whirlwind.

I was a bit off to the side during the first stage which was unfortunate because that’s where tissuehime was!! But, he came up to the front of the stage a few times to do his thing and he was reaaally goood!! I always loved his World is Mine!!!

In the second stage, it got a bit cramped because everyone was moving over to the front of the blue stage so i just kid of got pushed along a little…. But the dust settled eventually and there was enough room to move a bit. During the breaks, more of those classic NND songs would play and you could hear people singing along softly, it was a great atmosphere! They started the second stage with another group song! For solos, alfakyun sang Guren no Yumiya which was super fun to yell along with! she also sang ECHO in a duet with araki and rocked out pretty hard. Piko also did a solo here! Gero did a duet with ??? someone;;; and he came out wearing the character shirt…. It turns out the other guy was also wearing it under his normal shirt hahaha

At this point i was getting worried about dying of thirst at a critical time, so I made my way out of the crowd to hopefully very quickly grab some refreshments. I got two drinks and then decided that since i was out already, i should get some food too so i dont have to leave again. As i was looking for a place to sit, i see….. KONY?!?!?? HE WAS JUST SITTING AT A TABLE OMFG and the seat next to him was empty so I asked if it was free and then after a bit was like….. You’re kony right. And he was like yeah *thumbs up* but I couldn’t think of anything else to say in jp anymore so I just kept quiet and ate as other people came and asked him the same thing LFKGFK. I wish I had the presence of mind to tell him I love his singing voice… ;-;

Nero eventually appears on stage to sing JUST A GAME so I’m freaking out internally trying to finish my food and kony eventually leaves…… I joined the crowd again but things are kind of a blur from there til the end….. I can tell you nero was fucking amazing though. god i love his voice and singing for that song

In the third stage, Team Nicorai are first up, with Kogeinu, Pokota, ASK, Yugepo, Gero, and Dasoku! Gero poked fun at dasoku’s low tension and how he got banned from youtube for a bit, saying it’s because he was streaming every day lol. Pokota’s solo was amazing!!! He was ridiculously energetic and it was so infectious!! He’s so charismatic and pretty…. .Koge did Lost One’s Weeping and I was going absolutely NUTS I was so freaking happy!!! Near the end, he had to go an octave lower because it was just so ridiculous LOL but he really was amazing!! and he returned back to the high notes for the very end, so strong. (in his namahousou afterwards he said he wanted to do tengaku but then no one else was able to do Lost One hahahaha) ASK did Tengaku (i think he swapped his shirt from white/black -> black/red here for some reason??) which was GREAT and then!!!!! SUKIKIRAI DUET WITH HANATAN AAAHHHHHHHH THEY WERE SUPER FUCKING CUTE!!!! She walked on stage still holding a canvas shopping bag and had to turn around and put it back LOL so cute ;-; She was so good at making the cute interjections and he was moving all over the stage with grand actions and was even making flirting actions with Tissuehime…. I cant believe he seemed so nervous on twitter because hes definitely got some amazing stage presence…. He walked off at one point to grab a signed green ball to throw into the crowd! After that, Hanatan did Cendrillion with Pokotan!! Apparently they had never sung live together before this?! Which is shocking?! (Maybe it was just that they never sang Cendrillion together….. I didn’t listen properly….) but yeah, they were really good, and Hanatan hit all those high notes amazingly ;o; Yugepo sang Butter-Fly and we all sang the chorus along with him, it was so fun…… Yamadan came to sing something, and he threw a bunch of coins into the audience!

4th stage!! It’s time for pointfive!! They sang two songs together! [something] and Select Me! They talked about how it’s so amazing to have the group gathered together again, and how Dasoku hasnt changed at all (he really hasn’t). They keep teasing him about becoming a youtuber lol… Anyways he’s like, on the contrary, hasn’t clear changed a lot?? Because he was talking so much. He, in turn, complained that the rest of the group never says anything so he has to be the one!! For example, when they do their last words, the only thing the four of them have to say is “it was fun” so it leaves it on him to close it properly! But they just told him he should also just say “it was fun” and everything would be okay lol. clear did Little Travellersolo and they continued with the slower songs; dsk sang shinpakusu0822 and Mi-chan sang ???. His live vocals are so good…….
then. T H E N
dasoclear step out
and my mind is screaming MAGNET
AND IT IS MAGNET AND IM SCREAMING AND SO IS EVERYONE ELSE. They do the beginning just like their upload and sound fucking amazing but then halfway through?! GEROINTERRUPTS…… AND IM SCREAMING EVEN MORE NOW….. He jokes around with them and then mentions how he ALSO did Magnet with a guy named faneru and then NERUTAN’S VOICE APPEARS AND THERES MORE SCREAMING???? He’s backstage with a mic and he and Gero have a back and forth and it is revealed that he came all the way from Kumamoto for the event….!!! He also mentions Jack and there’s screaming but he’s like no no no that one’s not here though;;; They called faneru the voice in the sky and asked him to introduce himself and he goes RIGHT INTO THE BEGINNING OF THEIR MAGNET SKIT, PERFECTLY, WITH ALMOST EXACT INTONATION??? Gero swaps mixi for twitter and is like, “because now it’s twitter right!!” at the audience. I don’t know how this ended because I was too busy freaking out but eventually they get back to the song and Gero sings with DasoClear and they get the audience to sing too……Telling us to sing loudly so it reaches that voice in the sky… It was amazing

While I’m recovering from this blow to my life, that comes on and does another slow song. Then Halyosy comes out in an all-white suit and people are cheering really loudly! He did the slow version of konbini!!!!!!!!! He and that then sing Sakura no Ame together as Absorb :’) I think it was here that they switch places on the stage and That points and tried to direct halyosy into proper position on the stage?? pointfive joins them for one last song: Fire Flower! Thus ends the 4th stage.
Asamaru was really cute!! He was dressed very simply but nicely and is slim and small…. His face is also quite slim! He seemed kind of shy, too. Lots of people called him cute hahaha even other performers.

5th stage is Gero’s stage!! His band is set up and he rocks out to Two Breaths Walking, and then does a super emotional Just be Friends…….. I saw some people actually wiping tears away while he was singing. I don’t blame them, he sounded so so so so good?? During the MC part he talks about how he almost got married once…. And right after that he jumps right back into he rock LMAO he does alien alien with ASK (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and during his rap part he just danced without singing at all, I laughed so hard. Then, kinyoubi no ohayou with Gom! To introduce the song, he did an entire dumb horror story thing about how if you don’t say “ohayou” you’ll die or…. something LMAO IDK BUT IT WAS PRETTY AMUSING….. he kept using an ossan voice…. and then when gom walked onstage he tried to do the same…. Next was Ghost Rule with Araki, which was sooo good!! I think he also does akane-chanwith? glutamine? Then he does some of his own songs, which gom made for him way back when… the udon song was a blast to be a part of the audience for hahahaha. He tried to throw his towel into the crowd at the end but it just kind of fluttered a foot away from him into the stage edge…… So he picked it up, told us to pretend not to see that, and tried another time but it didn’t get much farther!!

To close, everyone gets back on the stage and they sing Smiling!!! I feel like koge and ASK got to sing a lot so I’m very pleased…. And there’s a lot of members there that could sing their original part so that was really fun to hear!! The final song on the night was Black Rock Shooter! They really looked like they were having so much fun on stage….. They kept pushing the mics onto each other and many eventually ended up sharing! I remember ASK and Pokota singing together for quite a while, and koge and dasoku also shared a mic! ASK was all over the stage, sharing the mic and hanging his arms around others, it made me so happy to see!! He really seemed to be having a blast. Someone accidentally knocks underbar’s hat off at one point but they retieve it quite quickly lol.

Then, it’s time for everyone’s closing statements. They all had the concert shirts on but koge just kind of hung his on his neck LMAO it was cute though… He let his hands hang from it too while everyone was talking. Koge goes first, and they go down the line. I can’t remember what exactly everyone said but they made me so happy…. There’s a lot of thanks to Gero, obviously…. And lots of hugging!! We shouted everyone’s names as they took their turn, and for clear people were shouting “kaichou!!” which got some of the performers to go “how nostalgic!!” The pointfive members talked again about how nice it was to sing together again….. Piko’s mic died at first so we were all ?!?!?! but I guess it turned on after that and it was all good. Everyone was being called -chan but with piko, gero called him kopi?? During dasoku’s part, gero said he dreams of rootfive being all together again, and pokota jokes that their dances are really tough so he’d have to work really hard lol. but it seems like the possibility is there so…. eye emoji. Marutan actually got Jack on the phone and holds the mic to the speaker?!?! he says “otsukaresama desu” and theres lots of screaming… Gero asks him to say more so he says one more thing: “mi~nna daisuki!!” and everyone’s like losing it, it was fantastic. I saw some people crying…. (in a post-live namahousou they revealed marutan had jack on the line with his phone in his breast pocket the ENTIRE EVENT LIKE WOW). Yamadan tells us he thought the coins he was throwing were chocolate so he put them in the fridge because he was worried they’d melt and get all over the place, but it turns out they’re plastic! They skip over Gom, who gero wants at the end, and go through everyone else! Touyu talked about how he’d always look at Chang Gero like “must be nice….” so he was very happy to be invited this time! Hanatan talks about her outfit; I think and she completely forgot to either plan her outfit or get proper shoes? I think she got some flip flops from the convenience store or something and everyone laughed. Nomiya Ayumi said that when she got the offer to participate , she was like, “Why me?!” because she hadn’t uploaded in so long. Gom was crying a lot and coul barely make his statement……. he got everyone to say “aishiteru yo” and he says it back!! gero then introduces his bandmates and gets them to say their last words! One of the members was also crying lmao… Another one forgot when he actually met gero (it was during a smiley*2 event) and Gero got right in his face challengingly HAHAH then!! then!!!! Faneru gets a last word too!!! Gero kept called him like… fakkun or somethign and it really threw me off lmao. He talks a little and there’s some screaming from one side of the audience…. I assume some people could see him from one side of the stage haha. He tells us to look up because that’s where he is… then tells us very gently that he’s doing well and i start crying so much….. They take a group picture and they split up the guys who show their face and the ones who don’t for the censor and there’s surprisingly few on the side that doesn’t!! koge, ask, marutan, hanatan, touyu…? gom? In any case, it was just a small handful… How times have changed…. And with that, it’s basically over!

Ah Kyouichirou appears on stage at some point near the end for some reason LOL and they make a joke about meatfive…
As they walk off the stage. underbar is jumping all over the place waving and he’s SO endearing???? I could hear people behind me murmuring that he’s really cute….. also ASKwas one of the last people the leave the stage….
On twitter later, I saw that akiakane, kaito (running ASK’s merch table while he was performing), and wolpis kater were also there!! And kony… I really wonder if there were others!





I had SO much fun, and just getting to hear nerutan again was already worth everything…. I’m so grateful to Gero for putting together such an amazing event with all this nostalgia and everyone’s singing was absolutely wonderful. I’ll never forget this!!
