Hyper Japan Christmas Market
I went to Hyper Japan last Sunday, 16th Nov., and as usual, I totally enjoyed it! I was planning to go on Saturday, the 15th, but Joe Inoue is only there Sunday so I decided to go that day and I'm so glad I did..... he's so great! There's a meet a greet after his performance and I've got a signed CD from him and I even had a short conversation and a photo (unluckily for me, it comes out grainy T__T), with Diana Garnet, as well (Joe is producing her album in Japan) and the we shake hands... it's totally an awesome experience!
My conversation with Joe Inoue while he was signing my CD during the meet and greet after their performance (with Diana Garnet)...
me: Hello!
Joe: Hello! What's your name?
me: Jazmin
Joe: *starts signing the CD... and mispelled my name! oh well * Do you know any other languages?
me: *surprised that he's iniating a conversation that I got tongue-tied for a second* ah um Filipino!
Jo: "astig" (Filipino word for cool.... I think! ^_^) ah I've been to Baguio. I love it!
me; you have loads of fans in the Philippines. You've performed in Manila recently, right?
Joe: yes I did!
me: actually I planned to come yesterday but some friends told me to come today when I told them you'll be only here this Sunday
Joe: oh yayyyy!!! gave me a big smile and made a pumping gesture with both of his hands
I also end up buying W-INDS and SPYAIR CDs! W-INDS because when the guy in the JPU Records stall saw my kisumai hoodie, he pointed to the KIS-MY-FT2 in the hoodie and he said "oh I know them *took the W-INDS cd from the pile* we don't have their CDs but you should try this one, they're similar!" ok so I've heard about W-INDS before but I haven't heard any of their songs so I'm not sure if what he's saying is true but since it's only £5, I took it. Although I almost said to him that unless he's affiliated with JE or AVEX or licensed to sell Johnny's CDs, then they won't really have it but I hold myself back because it might sound like an insult to him! and SPYAIR because it's what's playing in the CD player and I mentioned that it sounds like ONE OK ROCK and he pointed to the CD and said that their similar. It's double the price of the W-INDS cd but from what little I heard, I like it so I bought it. He also gave me a leaflet/card for SCANDAL and mentioned that they'll be having their first concert in the UK early next year.....
...there are loads of kawaii things I want to buy but I have so little money so I just took photos! I also hang a wish on the Christmas tree and fingers crossed, hopefully it'll come true soon enough! and then I saw a wish that made me laugh my head off! and then there's the cosplay contest! The lucky winner is going to Japan to represent the UK in the World Cosplay Contest! I always enjoy going to Hyper Japan and I'll make sure I'll go again next year.... who knows, I just might manage to buy some cute items I want ^_^
