Marching J
I went to the Marching J charity event today. It was about six hours of standing in line, but they snaked us all over Yoyogi park so it was like a walking hanami tour. I was cold at first but when we got closer everyone was pressed to close that it was quite warm and cozy - Japanese girls wear big fluffy coats and smell good, and they're pretty much my height, so it's the most pleasant kind of mob to be in. The staff was harsher than they usually are - they pushed us into lines past the stage, and I saw one grown man almost shove a teenage girl off her feet.
When I finally got to the end, Arashi and Higashiyama were on stage, and V6 was manning the money boxes. I got to see Ikuta up close, and Nagano said thank you directly to me when I dropped my money into the box in front of him <3
Best of all, it looked like most fans were tossing in 1000 yen notes, and there was an incredible amount of people there, so they must be getting a lot of money for the cause!
