Hm… I abandoned this blog again. 
I attended a few events since then.
AKB48 Sakura no ki ni narou handshake event @ Saitama Super Arena (March 5&6)
I got 3 tickets from a friend, one which I gave to Edwin. He came with me on the 1st day. We got the standing area near the back of the arena. We stood for quite a long time until our turn. The setlist for that day was the usual Aitakatta-Ponyshu-new single. There were also some talks which I cant remember anymore. After the break, SDN48 came out performing Aichuseyo and its coupling. Our waiting felt like forever, meanwhile there was some performance on the stage by the members who weren’t doing handshake. They played some silly games like butt sumo, janken, etc and the loser had to sit on a chair swinging high from the roof (pretty scary if u ask me). The winner will get gravure featured on FLASH magazine.
Lineup is like this:
A gate
1. Kitahara Rie + Mori Anna
2. Takajo Aki + Yamauchi Suzuran
3. Sashihara Rina + Ichikawa Miori
4. Kojima Haruna + Kojima Natsuki
5. Kashiwagi Yuki + Iriyama Anna
6. Shinoda Mariko + Nakayama Shiori
7. Itano Tomomi + Kawaei Rina
8. Oshima Yuuko + Kato RenaB Gate
9. Maeda Atsuko + Morikawa Ayaka (1st day) / Nagao Mariya (2nd day)
10. Takahashi Minami + Suzuki Shihori
11. Watanabe Mayu + Takeuchi Miyu
12. Miyazawa Sae + Shimada Haruka
13. Minegishi Minami + Shimazaki Haruka
14. Yokoyama Yui + Ooba Mina
For the first day, I chose Acchan bcuz I thought she rarely appears on tokyo akushukai event. Her line was longest. There’s a kid in front of me with her dad. XD I told Acchan “You’re cute”, and she replied 2thank you, I am happy to hear that.” Kyaaaa. She’s so polite. Acchan’s line was the longest. 2nd longest was Mayuyu. Even Takamina’s was almost empty.
On day 2 I went there at afternoon. I cant get inside anymore, and had to queue at a big hall at the basement called community area. There was a big screen showing the stage inside. They told us we can leave for lunch and then please come back at 3pm. I went around and came back around 3. Not long after that more ppl came and the queue was chaos. Long story short, this time I went for Mariko-sama, but I cant think of anything to say to her. She looked kind and talkative hahaha. This time the longest line was Yuuko’s.
Koda Kumi Dejavu live @ Tokyo International Forum (June 26th)
After Fantasia live this looked small. Hehe. The theme is witch/magic sort of thing. Before it began, kuu came out to say some condolences for the victim of the quake. She said she brings her own electricity generator!
