[10/5] Morning Musume。'14 - Live Concert in New York!

[erilaz]

One complaint about the Best Buy Theater in their Yelp reviews was about the long lines at the coat checks.

Don't count on luggage storage at the bus terminal, though. Public lockers at transit stations have become a rarity in post-9/11 America. Here's a useful article on the subject of luggage storage in NYC.

My friends and I stayed at the Hotel Wolcott in Midtown Manhattan when we went to NYC in 2008, and they had coin lockers that their guests could use. That came in handy, since we arrived before our rooms were ready.

^ According to the page you linked to:

A mention of places that currently do NOT store luggage: The Port Authority Bus Terminal

This should be useful info to everyone going to NYC by bus as well.

Fortunately, the hotel I'm aiming for states it can store luggage after checkout time. Thanks for the help, everyone.

Huh, I stand corrected. That's very odd, though.

Another technical question...
Does anyone know if the girls prefer you speak to them in Japanese, or in the language you speak?
As in, would they be happier if you said "I love you! Thanks for coming!!!", of would they be happier if you said "大好き！ありがとう！”?

[Chibs]

That is something you should decide on your own, how you present yourself. Also like previously mentioned handshake will most likely go by pretty fast so do whatever your comfortable with.

^ Hard to say. I would imagine that it varies from girl to girl and depends on how well they can understand you.

Whenever I meet Japanese artists, I try to speak to them in Japanese, to the best of my ability, though I might get lazy and switch over to English if I know the person is comfortable speaking it (such as Naoko from Shonen Knife or Mari from Tsushimamire). When Linlin was at AX, she took every opportunity to speak in English and did it well, so I thanked her for that in English. When Kago-chan was in L.A., she had been working on her English, but I spoke to her in Japanese anyway. She replied in English, so it worked out great!

How was it? Always listen to your elders!

I cant wait to hear stories of how awkward and fun it'll be when you guys meet at the concert

just curious are you guys allowed to do fancams or no?

[Shoujo Q]

Well... no matter what happens. We're either getting an album or another CD single in October. ;D
I don't think I'd do well in a handshake event. I have a very hard time with hand eye coordination and speaking at the same time. xD

...That's something someone should ask idol groups in a Q&A session.
Not the classic BS like "what's your fav song" and all that stuff.
but, "Would you rather being spoken to in Japanese, or in other languages at events?"


I feel like they would love english, because they would want to hear people speak it, but they wouldn't understand what we are saying, for the most part... so therefore Japanese... but idk.... It's not like you're gonna comment to EVERY member, right? You're only gonna talk to your favorite 4 or 5? There are too many to remember things to say. Maybe like a simple "ganbatte" or something.

ALSO~~~
IF you are thinking of speaking with Maachan, definitely use English. She can understand it really well.
