Soragumi Fangirling Extravaganza with Julie; Day 2 & 3
Once again I am too tired to really make a coherent post.
Yesterday was highly interesting. I went to see Julie off to work and bought onigiri for breakfast. I managed to make my way back to her place fairly well!
I hung around the apartment for a bit as I was still waiting for my club to message me about iri. Which I totally missed anyways. I fail.
I was really depressed because it was shonichi iri and I was supposed to get my wear. Also I didn't wanna go back home. I was just angry and annoyed so I moped around Umeda for several hours. I managed to bump into my daihyou-san and she JUST MADE MY DAY. She bulldozed me into buying the ONE extra ticket she had. It was 3,000 yen.... it was HARD TO RESIST.
SO I SAW SHONICHI. GAH GAH GAH! IT WAS AWESOME.
No really. The production was VERY good. I'm seriously not being biased. Tani is still not better than Touko BUT adorable. She had WAY to much with the rain and honestly looked like she was having the best time of her life. Alice rocked the house. Her voice was amaaaaaazing. I nearly cried hearing such a beautiful rendition of "Lucky Star". Micchan was gorgeous and TOO FUNNY. And of course Eriko was amazing and FUNNY. OH and TOMU JUST IS COSMO.
Afterwards I met up with Julie for demachi (I felt guilty...) and was great. I was in the third row and there were about 20 fans. I had more fun times trying to speak with my club. Eriko wore a jean jacket and dark pants and tinted sunglasses again. I told her in English "You were wonderful" and got a huge smile and a "sankyuu" and a "waaaaa" reaction from everyone. She was gorgeous and yes.
Julie and I glomped each other straight afterwards and went home.
Today we got up at 7, watched Ai-chan's Cafe Break, got ready and I blow dried Julie's hair. Which gave us only 20 minutes to get to Umeda before my own iri time. But! I made it in time for my first iri!!!!!!!!!!! She wore a baseball cap, jean jacket, white shirt, and a very tired smile. I was in the fourth row and I got another "oh you are here again" smile when I handed her my letter. Oh! And there was someone that actually spoke ALOT of english in my club and she talked to me!
Afterwards we actually had breakfast and I rested my feet. The shoes killed my feet due to the running. Then we went to the Umeda QR and i almost resisted buying too many things. But I got Eriko's Passion still and the AmeUta program. I convinced Julie to buy a very hot Eriko stage photo. Then it was time to meet up with Jule's friend Ami, who kindly took the extra ticket I had for the day. The three of us went in to see the 12:00 performance.
It was just awesome seeing it again. We had fairly good seats! I noticed some things that were different and that just made it all the better! Like Eriko waving to Dai-chan's talkie when she said "sayonara" and Tani's umbrella breaking. During intermission the English speaking fan sought me out and gave me all her information and told me to call her next time i was in Tokyo
Ami was adorable and it was very cute to see her reaction to Takarazuka. I hope to see her again.
We went home and rested some more before de. We wrote our letters then headed out for de early. Boy was I ever happy to get there early. I befriended another member, Kikuko-san whose name i have issues saying. Then I realised my club is not strict in the least bit and full of dorks. One of them took the big button that we got with our wear and wrapped the bandanna around her head and stuck the button on it. Dorks.
De was really fun, since Kikuko-san understood my english just couldn't speak it. I got most of what she said and plus we kept scribbling in her note pad. I was able to write my name in katakana so she would be able to say it and then we just kept writing stuff as i taught her a litle bit of spanish and sang Valencia no Atsui Hana. She gave me an eriko picture as a gift! Also I caused a bit of commotion as i pulled out my ipod to show things to Kikuko-san. I need to get her something. Eriko came unexpectedly for all of us and I nearly died as she was right in front of me for the entire thing. Also she did something special for tanabata, and tried to explain it to me and failed. She gave us all a gift and i wanted to cry a little because she was lovely and told us her mustache was slipping off.
Then the best thing happened. Tomu came out in a yukata and everyone reacted loudly "kakkoiiii!!!!!" and it was awesome! She looked gorgeous and everyone was trying to see as she did de and walked by. It was awesome.
Now we are home and tired and hearing people doing karaoke outside ^^;;;
Now we are home and really tired.
