Irimachi, 6/6
Kind of disappointed that no one seems to care about my Marietta-san story. :( Oh well. I'm too much of a comment whore to quit, and it looks like I'm starting a tradition of posting my iri backlog at ridiculously early hours of the morning. >.>;;;
This one is long. That's what comes of an 8:00AM standby when Julie has the day off, i.e. the free time to hang around and watch 4.5 hours and 3.5 troupes' worth of iri. X3
6/6 ~Angel Iri~
Waking up at six in the morning is negligible when it brings even a few minutes of one-on-one time with an angel.
She was wearing her hair down under a white hat. She had on the pink coat again, but I didn't get a good look at her shirt underneath because her arms were quite full of bags, a wig box, etc. Her skirt was an airy number patterned with thin arcs of pink, yellow and pale green.
After "ohayou gozaimasu" I motioned to her bags and said they looked heavy, wondering if I should offer to carry them / if I was supposed to / if I was allowed to. (Those of you familiar with the irimachi ritual know that a club president and/or other present staff member will carry a 'sienne's bags for them, but other than staff I think regular club members are not expected to do this.) She didn't seem to be relinquishing her parcels, though; she just said it was all for the program photo shoot that day. I asked about the AmeUta press conference which had been the day before and she said she had been nervous. We noted that it wasn't her first time, since there had also been one for "All Shook Up", but she said for some reason on that occasion she wasn't really nervous (and gave further explanation in terms I didn't understand).
I asked if everyone was coming early for photo shoots, which was apparently first on the agenda that morning, but she said 'Yamato-san' and 'Hokushou-san' were the only others coming that early. Also, it would apparently be a long day because Alice-chan said she might not finish until 10 or 11PM. "Taihen desu ne", I said. ;______; (Note: I don't know how usual or unusual this is, but Alice-chan has been rehearsing late quite a lot and once I didn't get the day's iri standby time until -- get this -- around 2:30AM. It makes me very worried, although I try to keep the 「心配しています」es and 「無理しないで下さいね」s to a minimum in my letters...)
Our journey to the stage door ended just as I was commenting on the weather yet again, and as she turned back at the door she smiled and waved and it was only for me, and it was heaven. *_________________*
~Other-People Iri~
Micchan arrived twenty minutes later wearing a beige hat, thin black sweatshirt that zipped up in the front, black slacks with red straps / accents around the pockets, and black sneakers. She was chatting very amiably with one fanclub member while two others trailed behind (at least one must have been staff, as she was carrying Micchan's bags, but Micchan herself was carrying a wig box).
Some time later Yuuhi went in. She had on a purple sweatshirt, jeans, black boots, a fedora, sunglasses and perhaps a scarf. I also saw Remi-chan and Nacchan.
An hour after Alice-chan, Tani arrived. White long-sleeved button-up, black slacks, sunglasses. Her hair was (and is) still blonde, which disappoints me greatly because a blonde Don Lockwood is not a true Don Lockwood. (Expect to keep hearing me complain about this, as I probably will. >.>;;;)
Mii-chan: Pink collared shirt under a black 3/4-sleeved tight over-shirt thing. Jeans. I was grinning like the dickens in her direction, and her gaze eventually drifted over to me... And she kind of stared a second longer, also smiling. DOKI. DOKI. I should have waved or something, as I said to Manda. ^^;;;
Riku: White button-up with English writing on the front that I couldn't read. Black undershirt, jeans with red and brown pocket decorations.
Yuzurun: White button-up shirt, tie striped with two different shades of blue, jeans.
Rin-chan, Tamami-chan, Zono <3
BonBon with brown hair PERMED TO A SMALL AFRO LEVEL OF FLUFF. XDDDD I was trying hard to stifle my giggles and the woman to my left kind of looked at me askance.
Mappuu, oh my god. She had on tight black jeans, a black jacket, and underneath... A white T-shirt emblazoned with bright red KISS lips sticking out an American stars-and-stripes-colored tongue. SO much amusement. X3
From here on the list gets a little out of order. Ayane-chan in a white dress with a ruffled front and blue crane (or maybe leaf?) patterns on the skirt. Blue cardigan. Either she or her daihyou was carrying a parasol, I think.
Chii-chan: White button-up shirt. Tight jeans tucked into cowboy boots. For unknown reasons she waved to an onlooker standing near me. DOKI again.
Chigi: Black long-sleeved T-shirt with a green design / logo / picture on the front. Green jeans. Looking very pale, but then again she's looked pale to me for at least a year.
Kacha: White button-up with thick vertical purple stripes. White T-shirt underneath, beige cargo pants.
Masako: Button-up shirt patterned with small green flowers. Jeans.
Tacchin: Jean jacket with lace fringe. Lovely skirt, beige underneath a black sheer decorated with roses.
MIEKO-SAMA: Came out of a taxi. Red button-up with a black shirt underneath, and black slacks. Julie's jaw = on the floor.
Hanano Juria went in limping -- a limp I had noted five days earlier at Sunday's demachi (and never wrote about, dammit). This had me worried, but she seems to be walking fine now...
Mame: Sort of like the people who fell in love with Micchan because of her iri/de antics, I may be starting to fangirl Mame-kun because of her iri demeanor. She talked with two ladies on the corner for, I kid you not, at least ten minutes before going in. Also, she likes ski caps a lot. X3
Yuu-chan: Turquoise fedora, a purse of the same color, blue plaid button-up, jeans.
Hacchi-san: Black cap embroidered with a silver skull and crossbones (the skull on the crown and bones on the front), gray rumpled button-up again, black T-shirt with some pattern, black jeans and a big belt buckle.
Tomu: Blue vertical-striped button-up shirt, black pants with random straps. Very smiley and no sunglasses or hat.
Go-kun: White button-up shirt with the design of some kind of winged creature in black on the back. Black choker (or perhaps it was chokers?) with a silver pendant. Army green cargo pants and black boots.
Chie: Long camouflage jacket over a black T-shirt, jeans.
Eriko: Jean jacket over a brown T-shirt with some logo on it. Army green cargo pants and a small duffel-like bag of the same color. Her hair is still dark, which I love.
Touko: Sunglasses, black jacket, black T-shirt, and beige slacks with puffy pockets that... er... I'm sorry, they drew attention and I couldn't help but stare at her... ahem... backside. *cough* Mhmm. Touko~ <3
Around 12:15~30 a bunch of 94ths went out for lunch, including Senna Ayase and Kari-chan (Kiraha Reo, that's my girl! She's dyed her hair!!). I pretended not to follow them as I went into 7-11 for a sandwich. (They all turned the corner and walked off down the street.) There were two TMS musumeyaku in the 7-11, whom I'm sad I didn't recognize considering all of the photos I've taken of TMS babies. ;____;
Others: Ichika, Mayu-chan, Kuracchi, TenMi, Akkii, Kasuga, Aoi-san, Daimon, Yuma, Tomoe, HAYAMA-SENSEI, Ebi-chan, Aiko, Sattsun, MiyaRuri, Shiiran, Kanachin, Makkun (whose fanclub seemed pretty big for her age), Mau-chan, Doi-chan, Nene, Asu, Kohmai, Tonika, Miwacchi, Otomo Reika, Sou, Kai-chan, Shiratori Kasuga ("the other Kasuga" to me XDD;;), Tomoyo, Meo, Marimo, Mattsu, Mitsuru, Toyoko, Rise, Shii-san, Rima-kun, Hishiro Yua (I wrote her as "Kitty" in my notes because I just remembered her from her role in Anna Karenina ^^;;), Yurika, Tara-chan, Susshii-san, Juma-chu (X3), Keiko-san, Toa Reiya (did I mention how HOT she was in AK? Crazy 93rd baby being all hot), Kyanon, Kaname, Seara-chan, Koma (I hearts her red hair), Michael-kun (<333), Eri-kun, Machami, Neo-chan, Hamako, Kitarou, and lastly, Chiyako. XD
Now watch me tag all of those people. You know I will. ;) I wouldn't have stayed up so late doing this if I had iri tomorrow and an angel letter to write, but apparently tomorrow (today, now >.>) is yasumi. I'm always happy when they tell me my darling overworked Sorasiennes have a day off. <3
