This was a very good event.. except they took the camera and MD.. (;_;)

Only 100 people allowed.

Machiko was very cute, and I was considering moving her up..

I think that is Machiko only, not Girls Be.

Enough space to beat Hekiru.. but I think they only got 4 to 5 thousand.

Moe-chan in a cute yukata, and also a cute ninja outfit
as one of the background dancers.
She didn't move much when she sang her own song.

7 minute song!

| events is upon us!  (^_^)

Going through Machiko withdrawl..
