Wow, the year is halfway over already. I was looking back over my list of events from the past six months, and while in the past I've chosen to do a "review of my year" at the end of each year, I decided to change this to every six months, meaning I remember more of … Continue reading A look back at the first half of 2016
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)
Shunkin-sho (16/6/25)
On June 25th, I headed to Osaka to watch the stage play Shunkin-sho. Originally, I had decided not to go and see this. Having done my fair share of going to shows that weren't really for me for the sake of one actor, I didn't really feel like doing it again. And then the visuals … Continue reading Shunkin-sho (16/6/25)
Touken Ranbu: The Musical LV (16/6/26)
After trying and failing to see the actual show three times, I finally managed to see this show in the form of a live viewing on March 26th. Unfortunately my two close cinemas had both sold out of tickets, so I had to go to one further out. I was wondering what the atmosphere would … Continue reading Touken Ranbu: The Musical LV (16/6/26)
Freedom Event vol. 1 (16/06/12)
On Sunday June 12th, I attended 2 out of 3 shows of the Freedom Event (vol. 1) featuring Nakao Kenya, Kamimura Kaisei, Miyagi Koudai and Morita Touya. Originally I had only been planning on one show, but I managed to get last minute tickets for another too, so I ended up seeing it twice. I'm writing … Continue reading Freedom Event vol. 1 (16/06/12)
A Saturday in Tokyo
Last weekend (June 11th and 12th) I spent the weekend in Tokyo. It was originally supposed to be just the Sunday for an event I had a ticket for, but I made the decision to go a day earlier, try to get a ticket for another show I wanted to go to, and have time … Continue reading A Saturday in Tokyo
How to write to your favourite actor
Recently there have been a lot of things floating around about the appropriate and inappropriate ways to interact with idols and actors online. I interract with a lot of actors on social media, but I also write a lot of fan letters. Every time I see actors report that they have received a stack of … Continue reading How to write to your favourite actor
BOYS AND MEN & Nana-chan
I was finally able to stop by Nagoya Station today to take my own pictures with Nana-chan which as I said in my last blog, has been taken over by BOYS AND MEN to advertise their new album Cheer Up. I was a little worried it would be busy during everyone's lunch break, but I managed to … Continue reading BOYS AND MEN & Nana-chan
Review: Seigaku vs Yamabuki DVD
The waiting time ended, and on Friday I finally got my copy of the Seigaku vs Yamabuki DVD in my hands. Although I didn't mean to be, I was at Animate the moment it opened (I had expected it to be open when I arrived, but I actually had to wait for it to open) and … Continue reading Review: Seigaku vs Yamabuki DVD
A trip to the BOYS AND MEN Cafe
After picking up my Yamabuki DVD from Animate this morning, me and Tina went to hang out at the BOYS AND MEN Cafe for a little while before work. They had announced a couple of days ago that they had finally made a new version of the coasters you get free with your drink, so … Continue reading A trip to the BOYS AND MEN Cafe
