This is yet again one of the things that I have been delaying on writing. So yep, here I am writing a blogpost for it.
Okay, moving forward. . .
As mentioned, this is the first online event that I have attended. It's an online birthday event of my very first favorite person in the Japanese entertainment agency. The one and only, Kamiki Ryunosuke! !
This might be long so I have divided it into chapters under the cuts below. . .
After waiting for almost half an hour, the show began with a greeting from Yoshimura Takuya, also known as YoshiTaku. YoshiTaku then introduced the birthday celebrant when he came in with a smiling smug-like face. 😂 Kamiki's (whom I address as Ryu-chan) is brimming with brightness, he looked happily satisfied.
It's his 28th birthday on that day (19th of May) and he said that this is the first time that he will have an event for his birthday and more so, an online one.
YoshiTaku then asked... yoshitaku: there's this thing going on sns. everyone is asking, "have you received a birthday greeting from yoshizawa ryo"? ryu: I haven't received anything yet. he probably forgot.
Ryu-chan and Oryo's relationship. XD
Ryu-chan received video greetings from some of his friends in the industry namely Nikaido Fumi (whom he calls "Nika-san"), Nakamura Tomoya and the casts of Konto ga Hajimaru (Arimura Kasumi and Furukawa Kotone pair); (Suda Masaki and Nakano Taiga pair). He even received gifts from the staff and Shison Jun.
He was surprised about the hidden message the staff created out of the video messages from his friends. He received a bath towel. His face was surprised but still it's brimming with happiness.
YoshiTaku mentioned that it was written in the interview for TV Guide dan for the question "what do you want the most right now" to which he answered "bath towel".
But I do remember that the bath towel thing goes way back to 250 / 250 questions in amuse mobile interview for his 25th anniversary.
One funny thing that happened during the live stream was when they air the video from the other day during the shooting for Konto ga Hajimaru.
He was discussing something with the staff and then there's a call out for Kamiki Ryunosuke over the floor's sound system speaker thingy (I don't know whaet they call it lol). He was puzzled with what's happening then it said "It's PILE" "thank you for supporting Love Live!"; AS TO HIS SURPRISE, HE FELL ON HIS BUTT. 😂😂
Ryu-chan is a well known otaku and one of his favorites is Love Live! (Love Live! is my favorite too but we have different oshis.)
Going back, they played a mini game wherein Ryu need to guess what's in the pictures. Of course they had the viewers participatre by writing their answers at the comments below. I only answered once on the comments and that it for the part wherein Ryu need to guess the order or year of his birthday tweets through out the years. The birthday boy got his answers wrong. 😂 I got the second and third picture exchanged but I had the first and last picture correct. 😅 I have checked others answers and no one answered the same for the first picture and yes, I was happy that I got it right when the birthday boy himself got it wrong. 😂😂 He even said that "he's troublesome". 😂😂
The live lasted for almost 2 hours and both Ryu and YoshiTaku's chatterbox mouth was put into work. xD
A few minutes after the end of the live, YoshiTaku posted on his twitter that he will do a twicas for that night too.
I posted a comment and he read it, I'm so happy!! ♡(∩o∩)♡
It's just some after story just to have his talkative mouth work for the last time. 😂
One of the things I remembered that he said was Ryu-chan asked him if he had plans for his (Ryu-chan's) birthday and when YoshiTaku responded that he still doesn't have one, Ryu-chan then said that he should keep his schedule empty. :D
YoshiTaku went live for half an hour as he boils his bath water. It may be short but it's funny at the same time. xD
This is the first online event that I have attended. I actually don't spend on things like this but I still grabbed the opportunity. It's more of like pay now then cry later for me. 😂😂
Words can't express how happy I am that I was finally able to attend Ryu-chan's event. I have been a fan of his since 2014 (and counting). He may not be my oshi now but he is the ultimate one and he has a special place in my heart and in my life.
I'm looking forward to more of things like this in the future and please use an overseas fan friendly website again (*coughs* liveship *coughs*).
