I'm going to try to post a little something right after every event
I go to this year..  I can tell I'll be falling way behind on the
"real" event reports. (;_;)

Tonight was the Idol Chu-mail 2 event.

I had lots of work (still not done (;_;)) so I arrived a little late.
The place was packed!  Usually there are only 70 to 100 people,
and there is plenty of space to stand around the sides.
But today there were probably 150 people.  Lots of Chinese people..

The first group was a group of 4 young girls from Taiwan.
The name of their group is PGST (or something like that?).
There was a TV camera crew too.
They sang 7 songs, 6 of them in Chinese and 1 in Japanese.
Most of them were fast songs.  Similar in style to jpop.
Shintani Sayaka was the emcee for this part, and she "translated"
what the girls said. (^_^;)
[I didn't bring an extra MD, so I couldn't get it..]

There were a lot of Chinese fans.  Maybe those who live here?
Lots of female fans too.
Most of them left after this group finished.

The next singer was Okamoto Eri.  She sang 3 songs.
She wore overalls and a wool hat.  Pretty cute.
Eri said she did some seiyuu work in a kids TV show,
and did some work in a drama CD.

Next was Heart Chu.  Standard outfit.  They sang "Tururu Daishouri"
and "Kira Kira".  Then Dear Me came out.  But it was only Mayo,
Tomoe, and Miri.  They sang "Stormy Dune".  Then the six of them
together sang "Daisuki".
I was a little disappointed that they didn't sing any other idol songs..
They announced some more events.  Osaka.. (^_^;;)

The next singer was Okamoto Hikari.  Cute red one piece with white trim.
She sang a Speed song, a Fukada Kyoko song, and one other pop song.
She probably sang more, but I left early.
This was the first time I saw her in person.  Pretty cute.

The last (or "main") singer was Akino Hitomi.

Oh, I saw Tokunaga Ai in the crowd. (^_^;)
