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

... never mind, I approve of your priorities.

[Zunu]

You might want to reserve judgment on that until you see the full unabridged list of priorities. What if licking doorknobs is on there? You're stuck having approved it; could look bad on a background check.

So on a different note, seeing as I haven't seen anyone post something like this yet. (though i could be wrong and totally have not seen something in the past few pages.)
Here's a picture as I neared the handshake!!!!
I almost got one up close when i was like 6 or 7 people away fro mthe girls... (would have been a REALLY close picture of some of them...) but they told me "no cameras >:C" so i had to stop.

Spoiler: show

~EDIT~
I've spoiler'd the picture for anyone who doesn't want to see it because of personal reasons. (such as not being able to go to it and being sad bc of that.)

I'm super psyched to see that not only will the concert be being shown on TV (has that happened for an overseas concert before??), but in only ~3 weeks from now!? So very cool. I wonder if they'll include some of y'all's interviews in the broadcast?

I feel sad looking at handshake event pictures because CDs were sold out when I reached the merchandise booth. I can't look.

BerryzGiraffe, you're picture came out better then mine! My phone is horrible at pictures. >__>

...Well, I think "wanting to die" is taking it too far
At least for me, it's more like "damn it it's over and now they may not come back for a looonggggg time, nothing to look forward to... "
but still with the "holy shit i just did that" vibe to it. which is awesome. Oh, and the "well everything is downhill from here" feeling. but that'll pass soon enough, hehe.
(and also, I disagree with the guy who said "you are basically touching a god"..... they aren't gods. they are other humans. Who perform for us. and are awesome at it. and have awesome personalities.
If you treat them like human girls, they will treat you like a human being and maybe even care. If you treat them like goddesses, they will treat you like you don't exist, probably because they are weirded out?) I mean, I understand people go because it's THEM. (heck, i went too because it's THEM.) but if you go purely because it's THEM, then you won't get anything out of it. The fact that you are also able to convey a message to them, even the "you came to ny and made us all happy!" or "i hope you enjoy ny!" handshake and smile, that is right there very pleasing. Especially if the girls end up taking it to heart.
And in our case, them coming to NY was just as exciting and scary for them as it was for us. I bet these handshakes as opposed to others meant much more to them than one guy going 50 times in japan, because these were more special, in a way.

And specifically, the people that go a billion times in one event, of course the girls will get creeped out or something!
(and let's not talk about the guys who said "I just want to be able to feel the hand of a high school girl" >.>)

Some wota are strange.

Didn't really take many pictures, since my phone was about to die during most of the trip anyway.

I wish I could have had the chance to meet more people, but it wasn't easy to organize things, so thank goodness there was Hello! Party. Still, it was awesome I got to hang out with some people both nights.
