たーぽす渡し会 from 誰か @ Zepp Osaka
I went to the SID ~Poster Handing Out~ ...thing at Zepp Osaka today! \:D/ I also met half of SID!
Rocked up to Tower Records at NU Chayamachi in Umeda at around 11:10 or so to get a copy of "Rain" so I could get one of the entry tickets for the poster event. Since I bought Type A on Tuesday already, I bought B and well, the ticket I got was for B. (There were two types of posters, each of the two members were either A or B, so it depended on luck on who you met [or so I thought at the time, anyway |D])
Subway'd it to Cosmosquare station, and when I had to change at Honmachi to the Chuo Line, I was sitting next to these two girls holding Tower Records bags, so I figured they must've been heading towards Zepp as well. When I got out of the train I headed towards the Zepp exit, and to be honest me and directions/maps never mix so as usual I had to ask someone for directions. Luckily I ran into an American man who was living in some apartments right near Zepp (I'd imagine the view of the Osaka Port to be fantastic) and he was like "Oh, just go that way and you'll get there... actually that sidewalk is closed. It's okay, I'll take you there since I'm headed in that direction too!" So on the way he was asking me what brings me to Japan, where I'm from etc. etc. Soon we arrive at Zepp, so off I went. The ice cream/drinks stand was playing some SID songs so at least I knew I was in the right place. :P
When I got there, there were already quite a few people there and it was only 12:30! (Doors opened at 2:30, the event wasn't due to start until 3pm). So while I roasted in the sun for two hours, I trained some Pokemon. |D
Sorry for the blurry blob in the last picture but my fingers always get in the way when I try to take photos with my keitai :(
Later:
I'm not even sure how far back it went, but I was feeling very glad that I got there early by that point. It was mostly girls, but I did spot a few guys in the line! And also a few older ladies just slightly younger than my mother in the line, and a couple of girls in lolita dresses. I felt like burning up just looking at them. :(
B entry! :O
We still didn't know who was going to be here in Osaka, but I figured that if the Osaka and Fukuoka events were on the same day, no way Nyan would come to Osaka over Fukuoka so that ruled him out. The girls around me kept saying that Yuuya might be one of the ones in Osaka. I was hoping that Shinji came to Osaka but I wouldn't know until I got in, right?
At around 2:40pm, we were all shooed into the actual hall and separated into A/B sections. Some people in the B line had cards for A as well and I was well jealous! (Until later) Some guy came out and told us since it didn't start until 3:00, we had to wait patiently, and while they played the "Rain" single on loop. |D 3pm rolled around, and then these girls near me just started screaming their heads off. I was near the front of the line, so a group of us headed up onto the stage to go to a poster booth hidden by some screen and the curtain. That way, you didn't know who A/B poster-giver was until you got right to the front.
Girls screaming everywhere, so I stood on my tippy-toes and all I could see was some hair. The girls in front of me were like "Ahhhh! Aki-sama!!!!!!!" and freaking out, and some girls behind me were like "WHO IS IT WHO IS IT??" XD Granted, I was a little nervous, but it was okay! When I went up to the table, Aki handed me the poster so I said thank you. It was the quickest moment ever, because we got shooed away ASAP. His hair was like how it was on Music Station last night, and I can't remember what he was wearing. |D He was pretty soft spoken, like he usually seems to be in comment vids and stuff but he was still really chilled. So I went back outside, I was pretty happy but I was like WAIT I HAVE LOTS OF TIME LEFT. I NEED TO FIND OUT WHO A IS. Organisers were clever and you could buy the CD outside Zepp and basically you could choose whether you wanted the A or B ticket. |DDDD One of the girls behind me was like really excited, so I asked her if she had a B ticket just then and she's like "Yes! I'm thinking about whether to buy another ticket just to see Aki again!" (To be honest if it was Nyan, ngl, I totally would see him again /shot)
So off I go to line up again with my A ticket and Type C of Rain. Heaps of girls came out of Zepp crying, some kept screaming, some already had two posters already...! When I got back into the hall, there was an announcement that they would be taking a short break, so I just mailed a lot to waste time.
Line from (almost) the back of Zepp to the stage.
Eventually I got to the stage, hurrah! More screaming girls with posters emerging from the booth!
From the stage
It was kind of funny, because everyone in front/behind me kept trying to get another glimpse of Aki from the other side of the stage, and some girls were making the strangest squealing noises that I can't really describe. |D But anyway, by this point I knew who it was in the booth so I was pretty excited!
Shinji pretty much looked like he does in photos - his hair is back to black now! He was wearing long drapy clothes like he usually does and he is sooo thin omg. When I got up to the table, he spoke really softly actually. :O He said, "Hello, I'm Shinji." (Well in Japanese, but anyway) so I said thank you when he gave me the poster, and that I was really looking forward to the Saitama gig and he was like "Ah, thank you :)". I may have swooned |DDDD;;
So after that, I headed home and that was about 5pm? There were still people waiting, and still people heading to Zepp as I was going back to the station.
The one on the left was from Shinji, the right one from Aki. (thanks kazzeh for fixing my fail :P)
So that was a fairly exciting event, and it's the first time I've ever been to this kind of event so yay!
