So I went to the Hey! Say! JUMP concert on the 18th in Nagoya. It was an amazing concert! I got to hang out with some twitter friends and we had a great time. We had time to kill before the show, so we walked to find some food. The venue was pretty much in the middle of nowhere so there wasn't really anything around it. We did happen to find a McDonald's about a 15 minute walk away. We chilled there for a while and Camille and I tried the new matcha latte. OMG, it was so delicious.
Before meeting up with everyone tho was the long wait in line to get my concert goods. It was hot, but it was worth it. The tote bag is so nice and pretty good material. I also got the pouch to hold my photosets. Some of the fangirls around me were so cute. A lot of them were really nice too, which was contrary to what I've heard about Japanese fans of HSJ. Guess we can't believe everything we hear. XD But then again, there are always nice fans in every fandom. It's a matter of finding them.
Anyways, the concert was great. The performance of Boys Don't Stop stood out to me because they had this cool black light looking PV thing on the screen while they performed it. It was so cool. I wish that it could get released.
When the members went around on the carts on the upper level where I was, the only one who saw me was Takaki. I'm not surprised tho. That guy...He's really nice to fans and tries to look at everyone. He's super sweet and his smile is so dazzling, especially up close. Inoo is sooooo pretty up close. How can a human being so gorgeous, jeez...I wish Hikaru had gone up on the carts too, but he and Yabu remained on the stage. :( Oh well.
Back at my hostel, I met these two sisters from SoCal near where I live. :) They were really nice and we watched Princess Mononoke together the night before. They watched HSJ PVs and SixTONES performances with me and ended up really liking them. We became friends on social media. I'm glad I met some people somewhat close to me at home.
Have a cute ShinxGenki picture. <3
I watched the finals of Gamushara with my other friend who is living in Japan. It was so exciting seeing 3 battles in one show. Everyone was so lively and energetic. Genki carried Kishi bridal style and twirled him around. Shintaro was constantly ruffling baby Ren's hair. He really likes that kid. xD He's such a good senpai to the younger kids. Shin also mocked Genki's crying. He's such a brat, that guy. xD It was quite adorable though. Juri and Jesse are really gorgeous omg, so pretty. Masuda Ryo saw me when he was on the balcony. I was wearing my Shintaro sunglasses. He squinted at me and pointed at my glasses, laughed and gave me a thumbs up. Guessed he was amused by them. Kauan blew my friend and I another kiss. Guess he remembered from the other shows I went to. There were only 3 foreigners at the show that I could visibly see. There might have been more. I hope there was, but it seems there were more foreign fans who want to the shows the week before.
It feels weird now that I'm home. I went back to work yesterday and was told that I am their top seller...and being gone 16 days am only $3,000 behind the one who was currently ahead. How was I that far ahead the next best seller? :O Anyways, being back one day already, I already recovered 1st place. xD I guess selling is really what I am best at. I was told I made the company over $70,000 in only 2.5 months. Welcome home to me!!!
