[boinsie]

I'm on my way home, hooray for partially functioning public transit system! Ooooo, in-flight Wi-Fi.

I had a great time and I'll post more lengthy stuff when I get home to a real keyboard.

I felt so bad with Daishi cause she held my hand for so long and the language barrier was totally in the way.

Ya know, I didn't piece together until someone said it on Twitter. Shaking her hand... that was that Daishi feeling.

In line, some people behind me got interviewed. I totally trolled them.

yeah, I'll post more when i have a real keyboard too. this trip has been an adventure, starting with how both times i got to the airport just as they're boarding the plane. Not the best thing to do flying out of airports like O'Hare and JFK, but I was lucky because the security lines weren't long.

Moh, remember how I said I'd grab you something if I can? PM me your address

[Echidna]

oh, that Zukki moment was so cute, she totally didn't expected so much fan power

thank you for yours reports, so happy for you!! )))

girls are awesome in performance; even earlier this year I had some girls that I didn't very cared of, but after seeing them at concert (this spring) I totally changed my mind
so I totally understand your feelings and a bit jealous because you had chance to see them closely and shake their hands

[Shoujo Q]

So when did they give up on yelling at people that it was a high touch and not a handshake. Being one of the people in the first row they kept yelling at everyone to stop shaking hands and give high fives. Of course the problem with that is, ticket said handshake and language barrier. We ignore what they were saying of course.

The CDs/handshake tickets were sold out when I got to the merch booth. At least I got a cool t-shirt. I feel pretty bad now that I know there were only 1000 people and I couldn't manage to get a hold of a handshake ticket. I heard some people had a number around (above?) 600 on their ticket.

It was still a surreal experience. I was in the middle section right behind two girls cosplaying as Haruna and Haruka in One Two Three. I cried when Haruka appeared on stage. She was the first member who appeared and she looked so good. It was surreal. I couldn't believe Morning Musume actually exists for real. These girls are really energetic and they glow in real life, I swear. The audience's reaction during Zukki's intro really made my day. Harunan looked at our little clutter of yellow glowsticks during the concert. Maachan was super cute. Everyone was cute. The Japanese fans gave away some leftover singles they bought as well as clearfiles. I got Harunan and Password is 0 CM clearfiles! I have all MM CDs so I had to decline the gift. Super nice fans though.

The worst part was that fan close to me who yelled "eeeeeeeeeh?" really loudly when Sayu said she would graduate, both in Japanese and English. It's not a big deal, but I thought it was pretty stupid since there's no shock or anything: you know she's graduating if you're a big fan enough to be here lol

My feet have several blisters and I haven't slept, but just seeing them live was well worth the trip. Good night.

I was towards the end of the line. by the time i got there they were telling us to hurry up because they were toeed, not the girls were tired. they were.

[AyuHikaru]

Eripon Wota who sat next me was number 572 and said when he bought the CDs there was barely any left. So around 600 tickets. 400 actually sold since I was VIP and got number 71.

[Zunu]

Yeah my visual estimate was 600 as well.

Ok, looky here's the seating chart for the Best Buy Theater:



The pink area is the fixed mezzanine section where the handshake ticketholders were corralled. Seats 598.
