Updates!
What's up people? Hope you all have been well. I hope everyone managed to catch the AXS live on the 28th on Nico Nico. I know some people may not have had access (<3) due to technical problems or because they didn't have a Nico account but rest assured there are already video clips flying around on Youtube and the like (especially the hot SCANDALOUS BLUE KISS!!! <3 8D). I'm not going to post links or name users who put up videos cause I don't want to get people in trouble but if you're interested in seeing something feel free to PM me here or on twitter (@akeyami) and I'll help you out in private. I'm still working on my setlist/live report but the major points are already entered in my personal journal so head on over there if you're interested. If you're familiar with the "AXS TO AX" fan group on FB then you've already seen some clips there.
A couple of new things to point out. As everyone probably knows next year is access' 20th anniversary and they're already making plans for it, starting with a OPERATION CONNECT Encore/Countdown live on Saturday 12/31/2011 at Nakano Sunplaza. The show will have two parts, it seems, the "tour encore" which will feature a setlist based off of fan requests and a New Year's countdown with another setlist featuring requests (if under 18 and wanting to attend you will have to have legal guardian's consent for the countdown show). We do not yet know if they will be streaming any of this.

I kept forgetting to check, I know I already said that access snagged 11th place on the Oricon charts, but did you also know that they got 1st place once again this year on the Indies Charts too? :D They've been in the top ten ever since the first week of ratings. We've yet to see where Share the Love will stand this week.

CONGRATS ACCESS!
And then if you like, please check out this week's Neo Age pdf drawings (DA does one every week). This week's is fun because Hiro was a guest and drew on it with DA to make an OPERATION CONNECT tribute (I love it when Hiro draws access <3).

In related news Daichan's going to be having a short SMILE FC tour in Hong Kong at the beginning of November celebrating his 20th Solo Anniversary (congrats DA! now get back to work on Metaverse!). It's in Hong Kong because they're going to be doing special birthday celebrations and lives at the Hong Kong Disneyland (aww <3). It looks like you have to be in SMILE (DA's FC) to go. Information PDF and form here --> http://www.danet.ne.jp/smile/img/hongkong.pdf
Well I think that's all from me for now. See you!
