I'm going to try not to talk too much about how much I truly love this group, because it's coming up to their year anniversary (and therefore mine) and I'm planning a long post for that. So all I will say is that this was a very special day for me, and for them also. … Continue reading Gingadan 1st one-man Live

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. Despite being tiring at times, and very expensive, it was one of the happiest months of the year for me. I got to meet the members I love many … Continue reading A month of Gingadan Release Events
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
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
Bancho Boys Live vol. 1 (17/2/25)
On Saturday February 25th I took a quick visit to Tokyo to go and watch the Bancho Boys 1st Live. I bought the tickets spontaneously after I fell head-over-heels in love with Yasui Kazuma. I didn't even hesitate on buying the tickets and the ride to Tokyo, because I knew I wouldn't regret it. I was particularly … Continue reading Bancho Boys Live vol. 1 (17/2/25)
Nakao Kenya First Fan Event (16/9/17)
On September 17th, I took an early bus into Tokyo to attend Nakao Kenya's First Fan Event. Looking at the venue details online before I left, the details stated that it had a "homely atmosphere" perfect for talk shows. It made me wonder what the place would be like, and there were three interesting things … Continue reading Nakao Kenya First Fan Event (16/9/17)
Seigaku vs Yamabuki DVD Release Event [16/08/21]
On August 21st I attended the release event for the Seigaku vs Yamabuki DVD in Osaka. It was a fun event, but one which I genuinely didn't think I would survive (see the high touch segment at the bottom of this report) but I did, and so I am here to bring you a report … Continue reading Seigaku vs Yamabuki DVD Release Event [16/08/21]
Infinite collection
In Japan there is this thing that people do that I have never seen anyone else in any other country, possibly due to the sheer amount of opportunities we have in Japan to do it. That thing is called "infinite collection" ("mugen kaishuu", 無限回収 in Japanese). If you look up the kanji on Google, you'll … Continue reading Infinite collection
Sato Ryuji Photobook Event (16/07/02)
Today, July 2nd, I attended Sato Ryuji's photobook event in Nagoya's Kintetsu Passe Hoshino Bookstore. I had pre-ordered three photobooks, which allowed me a handshake, polaroid two-shot, and the special event photos. Let me start by saying that this has kind of been a whirlwind relationship because I'm pretty certain that two months ago I … Continue reading Sato Ryuji Photobook Event (16/07/02)
