Taiwan \(//∇//)\

I decided that I should write report(s) about seeing AYABIE in Taiwan! Although I'm lazy and I feel like writing everything down will really take some time, but I want something to look back on and read hur hur

15/07/2011
Went to Taiwan with kazzeh and Fiona (who isn't a AB fan, so I felt sorry that she had to put up with our nonsense orz). Met kazzeh at the airport earlier because we wanted to put together Yume's present and eat lunch. We left for Taiwan on a flight which was supposed to reach the airport around 1 hour before AYABIE’s flight arrives, but our flight got delayed for an hour. -_-  So on the flight we were like worrying about not being able to meet the boys, because we wanted to pass Yume his gift (a shirt with his favourite ankoku no sekai line |D) and a letter personally (the organisers said that it was okay to pass them small gifts). We were also giggling a lot on the plane, because this is what happens when you put two Yume fans together (and because I’m apparently really trippy irl lololol)

So when our plane touched down, we were like rushing to clear the customs because another friend who reached Taiwan hours before said that the boys’ flight had arrived. So we were like “!!!!” because we need to clear the customs, collect our luggage and quickly take the skytrain from terminal 1 to terminal 2 (>_<)

Now imagine three girls pulling their luggage and just about running around the airport orz (sorry Fiona)

When we reached the arrival hall, Fiona took care of our luggage and then we were looking out for Kim and AYABIE. When I found Kim, I was like "Are you Kim?" but in my super excited voice lolololol I think I totally scared her because I was being really hyper and it was the first time she saw me irl hahahahahaha not to mention I was like "omg I know where you got your nails done!!! I did the same set!!!!! Did you go to that shop at Far East Plaza!!!!!" I'M SORRY I CAN'T HELP IT D'8 I was feeling really high after all that running. So imagine some girl being all spazzy and high and then another girl who is all calm and taken aback hur ;x; Then we admired Kim's LED board! It was so cool hahaha felt a little like those boards that you would see at a Kpop concert. It said しんがぽーる at the top, then VIVA LA KNZ and had that hand sign thingy~

They took quite some time to come out, considering how they touched down just three minutes after us lol. But once people spotted them, everyone started running ww tbh I only went along because I think I was half spacing out and didn’t really see them on the screen where they showed the gate. There was a fangirls stampede, but as much as everyone ran, we were all pretty calm because we just stood some distance away, waiting for the festival organisers to take pictures of them. If you have seen the picture, you will know that Yume was wearing that milkboy fruits tee hurhur and the jeans he wore in the rehearsal picture hurhurhur he came out with a mask first but took it off for the picture. Knz looked great despite his stubble, and he was looking over at Kim’s LED board with his name and smirking www Takepi was looking at the board too through his sunglasses~ Teppi was cute toooo, and his skin looks pale and kind of glowy like SK II commercial although his hair was flat

When they started moving out towards their van, we started passing the presents to them. Kim's present got taken away by some staff member D'8 but her present was the most epic!!! Cookies with AB logo and bottles from Egypt for Kenzo! Initially Yutaka kind of had his arm out to block Yume but he gave up after a while, probably because he saw that we were all simply trying to pass presents and not trying to touch Yume or anything. Yume was accepting the presents and saying thank you while kind of bowing ;w; you qttttt!!!

Then we followed them to the van and waved to them as they left~ The members were in a van while Yutaka loaded the equipment onto another van with other staff members~

Then we took a bus, switched to a train to get to our hotel. First night of getting not enough sleep (>人<;)

16/07/2011
We had breakfast, then we met kazzeh 's Taiwanese friend at the train station, then we all went for the Formoz Festival and met Kim there~ The three of us were wearing our ankoku shirts! |D The first thing we did was to check out the goods table, because there was a handshake event. You need to buy AYABIE's merchandise for a ticket number to shake hands with them, and it was stated on Facebook that no matter how much you buy, everyone gets one ticket only. So we bought things that were small enough to carry around without being troublesome and of course the Reflector single dlsjfs;dljgskg ;w; Also, I saw this girl with blonde hair and random spots of colour on her hair just standing around. It was nice except her blonde was too yellow so I think if she used toner, it would be awesome (y)

We had waffles for lunch because there wasn't much food on sale there hur. And not long after we ate, it started raining... ;____; It wasn't really heavy, but it was the kind that had tiny droplets and just will not stop. Luckily, there was an area with sheltered benches, so we just sat there, waiting for the handshake event and AYABIE's time to play~

It was kind of fun listening to the other bands. Then there was this band called 白目樂隊 and the vocalist was this girl who went ah ah ah ah ah a lot, so we were like saying that I can just go up the stage and sing for her hahaha! Because my voice is high pitched too anyway and the lyrics are so easy yooooo it sounded like just about every song blended into each other. Then we figured that the girl whom we saw just now is probably the vocalist.

WHEN I WENT HOME TO CHECK ON FACEBOOK, IT TURNS OUT SHE WAS AHAHAHAHAHHA

Here's how they sound like:

I remember this song from their set~ Personally I liked their songs, but I can't speak for everyone else...

Oh yah, and there was free wifi at that ulu place for some weird reason lolol so we were just sitting there, talking and leeching off the free wifi :Db It was kind of funny because you get to watch innocent kids and passers-by just cycling or running, minding their own business, then you hear people growling because of the festival |D

When it was about time for the festival, we went back into the area in our raincoats~ (because you can't jump around holding umbrellas!!!)Kim saw that the last ticket number was only 37 (the next day was the AYABIE live, so most fans probably just planned to go for the oneman and not the festival), so she thought that we should just all try and get a second ticket |D So we all bought stuff, and we managed to do it~! We were the only three people to do this :'D Neh mind can shake everyone's hands twice~

They were in the order of Yutaka (manager also must add in okayyyy), Takehito, Kenzo, Intetsu and finally Yume. They were all in this tent, and we queued up from the side according to our ticket numbers~ For the first round of handshaking, it was Shii, me then Kim~ I felt kind of bad because, my hands were wet from the rainwater, and I couldn't even dry my hands on anything... (>__<) Next time! If we shake hands again next time, I will make sure that my hands are super dry and I will use hand cream that smells nice hahahahaha /kicked

So when it was my turn, I think I got killed right from the first member *dies* TAKEHITO WAS SO SMILEY OMGGGGGG HIS SMILEEEEEEEEEEEEE Sometimes he kind of gets into that mood where he doesn't smile and does his poker face thing, but he was in such a good mood ;wwwww; I was so amazed! So I shook his hand, said my シンガポールから来ました line and said that his new costume is かっこいい AND THEN HE SMILED REALLY WIDELY DKGJSD;LJGSLHG ;wwwwwwwwww; Takepi you are so awesome omg please continue to smile like this forever ;w;

Next was Kenzo! He looked really tall. Like, taller than Takepi, and just about as tall as Intetsu or something. I didn't think much of it, although I was like ehh I didn't know he is that tall. After the event though, we found out that he was wearing platform shoes lolololol dude do you have to maintain your image to such an extenttttt~ Even if you are not as tall as Teppi we will still like you ;v; Anyway, Kenzo really looked so good *A* I probably said my obligatory Singapore line again. Yeah. Then I was like いけめんー (*_*)

Next was Teppi! SO SHINYY IRLLLLLLLL SO TALL IRLLLLLLL  he also pointed out to us that they were wearing new costumes~ Of course we know~~~ And I did my obligatory Singapore line again hahahaha /kicked

Lastly, of course there was Yumeeeeee~ Insert obligatory Singapore line. Then I was like pointing at my shirt, and before I said anything, Yume was like もらった, so I was like in a \(//∇//)\ state of mind. Actually, I was in that \(//∇//)\ state of mind for those couple of days LOLOLOLOL BUT OMG YUMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *mad saku* So happy he opened the present hahaha! But I guess if something was in a pink bag with hearts all over, he would open it~ We even had a shiny gold card inside |DDD

So then after that we went for one more round hurhur. Initially the staff didn't know whether to let us go for second round, but I guess they figured there weren't a lot of people anyway, so they let us through. OH YEAHHHHHHHH~ \(//∇//)\

Okay this round I ran out of things to say lololol and I was a little 呆 already because sometimes, I'm just like this hur (and also because I was already all dsjglk;sjgkslg from the first round). Takepi was like ah, you again |D But he was still all so smileyyyyy and we shook hands~ Then I got distracted, because Kim asked Kenzo if it was okay if she touched, so he kind of pulled at the lapels of his jacket to approve |D So Kim reached out to touch the shiny part of his jacket ;w; Then I just 呆 there HAHAHAHAHAHA shoot me please Kim was so awesome haha she touched his jacket while being all calm and poker face okay!! さすが会長!!!One day when I'm an adult, I also want to be as calm as Kim! ((impossible))

Then after Kim did that I think I really confirm 呆掉了 because I forgot to shake Kenzo's hand after Shii shook his. DIESSSSSSS I'M SORRY KENZO I DIDN'T MEAN TO!!! I forgot that I haven't shaken your hand, but it doesn't mean that I didn't want to shake your hand T_____T;;; Somemore when Shii reminded me that I didn't shake his hand, I was like oh! Then I reached out my hand, and his eyebrows rose as if to say ah, so now you remember *rolls off to hide in a corner* I can't remember much about Teppi for the second round, but he touched Shii's bow!!!!!! I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE SAME BOW WHEN SHE TOLD ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ;x; Then I can ask Teppi to touch my bow toooooooooooo ;x; Teppi was really cute though!! He looked so happy when he reached over to pat the headbow wwwww 你真的很想钓loli是吗 (被打)Then when I shook hands with Yume, he kind of bowed twice and thankedddd

After that, I realised that I didn't try to speak in English to Kenzo!!!! I wanted to do that so that I can hear him speak in English, especially after listening to him say love letter in jikahatsuden ahahahahaha

Anyway, that was the end of the handshake event! I wish it wasn't raining~ Looked so unglam and wet ;x; After that, we went over in front of the stage where AYABIE would be performing and waited for them to do set up some things~ Kenzo came up barefooted to adjust the drums set, and he really looked like he had that act cool look permanently stuck on his face lor /kicked But he is still ikemen laaaaaaa~ Then when he was adjusting, I was like omgggg can see his arms through the translucent sleeves~ *0*

He got of the stage for a while, then came back up, almost walked into a mike stand ww  Did a bit more adjustments, then he started stretching on stage |DDDD Like just standing beside his drums set and stretching his arms with that look on his face |D dude you could have just did your stretching off stage where there is more space lol 
Kenzo just stayed on the stage, waiting for the start of their set. When the SE played, he just kind of stood up, then the other members also came up on stage one by one~ Takepi looked good... Until I realised that he was wearing sandals |D Can I just add that the moment they were going to start their set, the sun suddenly shone onto the stage?! |D I was like OMG IS THIS YUME'S 晴れ男POWER but it disappeared after that and the rain didn't stop... Anyhow, they started with Smoke Smile Keeper~ They also did Hi-Fi, Reflector, Star Player, Gravity and Ryuusei. Not sure if I missed anything... I think I did (>__<) I think Yume did a good job connecting with the part of the audience who were fans. He spoke in Japanese, so he asked if people understood what he was saying. We were all はいing but he was like, ah but you guys are fans. We helped him to translate and he said 你好 and 下雨 |D He was adorableeeeeeeeee ;w; He also said nice umbrella! ステキステキ somewhere while looking at some random umbrella LOL YOU ARE SO GJ He also did this half-hearted fist pumping thing with his dead fish face at someone, then he shook his head, and fist pumped enthusiastically |D qtqtqt~

Also, since it was raining nonstop, we were all just jumping and doing furi/saku in our raincoats |D It must have been a really funny image lol~ Then the rainwater from my hood kept falling onto my face T________T;;; And I had to keep adjusting my hood so that it covers my head just nice but doesn't block my view. (>__<) In addition to rainwater falling onto my face, Kenzo also threw his bottle at us... So my face got wet from his water and saliva... (>__<) Yume also threw his pick at us, but we didn't actually manage to find it at first haha! After that we found out that it was stuck onto Shii's friend's raincoat! Lucky~! 
After all jumping, our shoes were all muddy T_T;;;

Picture from Kim's twitter!


We left right after AYABIE's set finished, but apparently they watched The Back Horn's set! If we stayed a while more we could have seen them watching~ (>__<) But anyway! We went off to find food at Shilin night market after that~! Then I bought a super shiny pink bow to wear for the oneman the next day |DD I didn't want to buy initially, but then Kim and Shii were like talking about it on and off while we walked around so I decided that I should buy it sakjflsdhgjsdhgjkh ;x; Must try and get Yume's attention mah. I can wear the shiny pink bow and keep sakuing at him /kicked
That was probably the end of day twooooooooooooooooo

ayabie, taiwan
