I have a favourite Gingadan member, and it is not, as the title of this post might suggest, Chikahisa Taisei. Even so, I love this kid with all of my heart, and because of this I really wanted to share with everyone what an amazing person he is, especially since I talked in detail about … Continue reading Why Chikahisa Taisei is an amazing person

A Year with Yasui Kazuma
It's almost the end of 2017, and that means that one year ago, I was introduced to an amazing person named Yasui Kazuma. I actually set my anniversary a few weeks ago the first time I mentioned his name on Twitter, but me becoming his fan was a somewhat gradual process that took place from then until … Continue reading A Year with Yasui Kazuma
How I adopted a Tonberry (twice)
During my trip to Tokyo the past few days, I came home with a new toy, and I don't think I've ever bought something for such a specific reason, so let me tell you this story. Many years before I came to Japan, I was jobless for quite a long time. I did lots of … Continue reading How I adopted a Tonberry (twice)
Crows Zero
From November 30th to December 3rd 2017, I stayed in Tokyo to watch all five shows of Bancho Boys 10th stage, Crows Zero. This was the second Bancho Boys stage I've watched all the shows of, and although this was a completely different experience to the randomness of Amaku wa nai ze 2, I can still … Continue reading Crows Zero
A month of Gingadan Release Events
Back in June this year, I spent most of the month travelling back and forth to Tokyo for the release events for Gingadan's first single Galaxy Cluster.

I made the decision to only include official Bancho Boys members in … Continue reading Top 5 Bancho Boys members
Gingadan/DRESS_No. Release Event
On Saturday July 1st, I went to DRESS_No. and Gingadan's joint release event at Tamaplaza Terrace in Kanagawa. It was my first time in a while seeing DRESS_No. (but definitely not first time in a while for Gingadan since I'd seen them almost every weekend for the past month). I arrived at the stage area … Continue reading Gingadan/DRESS_No. Release Event
How to buy stage tickets in Japan
I've had a lot of people ask me recently about how to buy tickets for stages in Japan, and so I decided rather than replying to everyone individually I would just make a post in the hope it could also help other people out. The details in this post apply to stage shows only. I'm … Continue reading How to buy stage tickets in Japan
Shall We Dress vol. 2
This was the second of these lives that they have done, and was arranged by Dress_No, who also invited other acts to perform. One of the acts they invited this time was Gingadan, and it was that which finalised that I definitely wanted to go. The space was a little bit of a mess (which … Continue reading Shall We Dress vol. 2
Tsukiuta x Animate Cafe
Yesterday, me and Tina went along to the Tsukiuta x Animate Cafe collab in Nagoya. Tsukiuta isn't one of my big fandoms, but I enjoyed the anime and the characters and the goods and visuals are really cute, so I was quite happy to go along and try the cafe, especially with company. Animate cafe … Continue reading Tsukiuta x Animate Cafe
