Irimachi, 6/24
I seriously think my Japanese gets worse every time I talk to my angel. ;____;
Today Harada-san came to iri too and we chatted a little before Alice-chan showed up, mostly about English teaching and the bits of English she has to use in her job (as an OL, I finally learned) and about TSP. She's seeing it this Sunday and said she likes Touko, which makes me feel way better talking about other 'siennes I like. She also likes Asuka because she can play strong characters. :D
Alice-chan arrived wearing a simple dress with tiny red and white checks under a long-sleeved denim half-jacket. Hair in an equally simple ponytail. One of the bags Harada-san took from her contained something shiny and white; a rehearsal skirt, she told me when I asked. She said that the choreography for the play is all finished and now they're working on the finale. I asked how it was and she kind of said "we'll see from here" because they only started yesterday. I asked how she felt with the performance coming up so soon and she said she's anxious about a lot of things. I tried to utter the simple sentence "I know you can do it", but somehow it came out wrong and I confused my angel and had to say it badly a couple more times before she got it and said thank you. T___T;;
As we neared the stage door we were approached by Nacchan-san (*), who asked Alice-chan why she had an umbrella when it wasn't supposed to rain today. "Didn't you watch the news?" Nacchan-san teased. Alice-chan laughed and said she thought it might rain tonight so she'd ended up bringing one. I wish I could make my angel laugh. Then we were at the stage door, and I was even having trouble saying "itterasshai" at that point. *sigh*
Once Harada-san had seen Alice-chan off, she asked me if I had been nervous and I said no, it's just that for some reason I can never think of enough things to ask Alice-chan and my Japanese seems to get worse around her. Harada-san said that means I was nervous; I just think it means I'm a complete idiot. >___< I forgot AGAIN to mention Alice-chan's Romantic Fairy and couldn't give her fruit because the shops weren't open early enough.
Anyway. Also saw...
Doi-chan: black button-up with thin white pinstripes, ripped jeans, black cap. Two fans.
Masako: jean jacket over a brown T-shirt, light brown slacks, black hat. Six-ish fans.
Eri-chan: cute white dress with a black bow at the middle and black buttons down the front, white hat. <3
Chigi: black polo shirt with a shiny design on the left breast, jeans, and for some reason I thought her hair looked darker (now that Junjou starts on Saturday) even though she had it near-black for Reimei already. She went in with one fan and then came back out ten minutes later, heading toward Bow Hall. I thought that made sense; the babies must be moving their stuff over to Bow for dress rehearsals. But I was in for a surprise later.
Micchan: kind of an oversized white button-up worn open over a white T-shirt with some design in light blue. Jeans, no hat; looking sunny as usual with her four fanclub members. :)
Tara-chan: black and white striped 3/4-length shirt, black short pants cut just above the knee. :3
BonBon: PERM STILL GOING STRONG. It makes me giggle every time. <33333 Sunglasses, light white jacket over a white T-shirt, jeans.
Kai-chan: short-sleeved, long-cut beige button-up open over a white T-shirt with a black design, sunglasses, jeans.
Touko: white suit jacket, jeans with a red belt, red and black plaid trilby that looked strangely like the ones the rockettes wear in TSP...
Around this time Chigi had iri AGAIN, this time with nine FC members. XDD;; I guess what I saw earlier wasn't her "official" iri. X3
Mii-chan: navy blue T-shirt under a black 3/4-sleeved button-up, beige slacks, big smile for her five FC members. :D She's a gem.
Kazu... I stared so long trying to see who it was under that cap that I didn't get a good look at her outfit, but I know she had on a dark-colored track top with two red stripes down the arms. At least ten FC members whose uniforms were cute little denim vests. <3
Tacchin: nice black dress with a red line around the collar, cream cardigan. Smiles so sweetly.
Shii: black fedora, white fitted button-up over a turquoise T-shirt, jeans, very smiley.
Tani: white button-up with a black collar & cuffs, over a T-shirt decorated with a crown and some logo I didn't recognize. Black slacks, no hat or sunglasses.
Haya-chan: black and white baseball cap, silvery sweatshirt with kind of a dull shine, dark green or brownish cargo pants, and her right pant leg was rolled up a bit to show off her ankle -- but only the right one. XDD Three FC members.
Tomomin: black fedora with a gold braided band, white button-up over a gray T-shirt with an abstract representation of two dancers. Jeans, one fan.
Eriko: no glasses today! Jean jacket, brown T-shirt, dark brown slacks. Friendly as usual with het four FC members. <333
Chie: gray fedora and gray slacks. Her coat was an interesting black double-breasted number with accent lines of shiny plastic-like material. X3
I keep doubting myself about Kurumin vs. Neo-chan, but I think it is Kurumin that I keep seeing with short hair (even though she switched to musumeyaku), kind of crimpy hair actually, jean capris and white heeled boots. <3
As Kurumin was going in, Kirari-chan went out and they nodded to each other as they passed. They have no reason to know each other. XDD But that's etiquette for you. :)
Toyoko: black baseball cap, greenish-gray long-sleeved shirt with gold designs on it, jeans, 6~8 FC members.
Natsu: black button-up shirt, jeans, and a fan accompanying her. :D
Kacha: light green button-up half-open over a dark T-shirt, and those kinds of jeans with fake wrinkles on them. No sunglasses or hat, five FC members. Came out again ten minutes later & was accompanied by one fanclub mumber. She made one more trip back to the stage door just as I was leaving. X3
Koma was taking a leisurely stroll down the other side of the Hana no Michi with a man who could have been her father. They obviously weren't doing iri. I still love Koma's red hair and wannabe Johhny's boy style -- polo shirt with yellow stripes and a green collar, tight black capris, short brown boots with almost no heel. I've definitely noticed that Koma embraces her shortness. X3 ILU KOMA.
Tomoe: thin white button-up over a white T-shirt with a tiny red logo on the left breast; beige cargo pants. I think she's dyed her hair; it wasn't jet black any more but a medium brown?
Potto-san: black button-up shirt with a ruffled front, jeans with a couple of holes, black hat.
Tamatama: beige button-up shirt, brownish slacks. As she neared the stage door a woman surprised her with a letter and she bowed and smiled and it was really sweet.
Tomu: white fitted button-up over a warm gray shirt over a blck shirt (three layers, Tomu, on a day like this?), jeans, no hat or sunglasses. :) Sometimes I think her fan turnout is almost as big as Tani's.
Momo-san: she got just about to the pillars, fifty feet from the entrance, and then stood around talking with the three or four ladies accompanying her. Tama passed by, and she was still talking. They eventualy made their way up almost to the stage door, waited for Tomu's iri to finish, then stood around talking MORE. All in all, at least 10 minutes. Momo-san, you rock. <3
Others: Mio-san, Kasuga, Kyanon, Naga-san, Junko-san, Nishiki Ai, Kuracchi, Aiko, Senna Ayase, Mau-chan and Reina-chan (together <333), Ecchan, Tamami-chan and Ayu (both of whom looked at me *.*), Ayumi-san, Aoi-san...
...And just as I was leaving, walking past the theater gates I saw Ten-chan. I looked at her, smiling faintly. She saw me looking, smiled back and ducked her head at me. I GRINNED BACK and ducked my head and then looked away and damn you Ten-chan for stealing more little pieces of my heart than a normal Sora baby already has. Gngh.
(*) Someday, someday I will tell many stories of Nacchan-san, the slightly kooky old lady who just comes up to underclassmen, fanclub or no, and talks to them about stuff.
