The Kira Kira Melody Gakuen related things at the TGS were:

3/31
----
Five of the girls rotated at the Bandai information table,
two at a time.  They were wearing black, sleeveless tops,
and black, tight mini skirts.  They were standing behind the
table in one hour shifts.
The girls were Shindou Yoko, Sawai Natsumi,
Sakurai Sara, Nagai Nobuko, and Minano Fuuko.

Six of the girls passed out Kira Melo flyers in front of the Bandai
booth, three at a time.  They were wearing the new Kira Melo school
uniforms.  The two "sets" were 1) Tsuchiya Mieko, Hinano Mayo,
Kuwakado Sora, and 2) Ohgoshi Tomoe, Tanabe Miri, Mito Yoko.

4/01
----
At the start of the day, some of the girls were passing out flyers
(same girls as the previous day), and some were at the information table.
But since there was a Kira Melo stage event at 12:30, they only
stayed for about one hour or so.

The Kira Kira Melody Gakuen stage was from 12:30 to 13:00.
The 28 girls of the "new" Kira Kira Melody Gakuen came out wearing the
new school uniforms, and sang the Kira Kira Melody Gakuen theme song
(just one verse).  They did a slightly different dance this time.
The emcees were Tsuchiya Mieko and Hinano Mayo.

Then they had a self introduction of the 28 girls.  There used to be
51 girls in Kira Melo, but 23 of them "transferred" away.
27 of the girls came to this event, as Suzuki Michiko was still abroad
studying.

It seems Kimura Ikue and Ohgoshi Tomoe had sore throats.

After the introductions, Heart Chu sang "Kira Kira".
Then Dear Me came out wearing a new outfit, and they sang their new
song "Soba ni Itai".
At the end, everyone came back onto the stage to sing "Daisuki".

A couple hours after the event, the Kira Melo girls came back to the
information desk and also came back to pass out flyers.

The first Kira Melo stage was from 10:00 to 10:30.
It was much more crowded than the previous day.

Also since Seki Tomokazu and Furuya Tohru had an event on the same stage
later, there were some female fans that had come early to reserve a spot.

This first stage was for the 28 first class students.
They opened up with the Kira Melo theme song (just one verse).
The emcees were Hinano Mayo and Tanabe Miri.

The first song was by the new Muteki Palette,  "Say U".
Since some of the Muteki Palette members had transferred away,
the group members changed.  The new Muteki Palette is Matsumoto Chiyomi,
Ohtsuka Mae, Sakurai Sara, Takase Noriko, Kuwakado Sora, Mito Yoko,
Takayama Kanako, Serai Shizuko, and Shindou Yoko.

Then Heart Chu sang their new song "N'est ce pas".
As with the other songs, Mieko did most of the singing.
[I don't like it that much..  Need to hear/see it some more. (^_^;)]

Then Dear Me came out to sing "Stormy Dune".
At the end, all the girls came back to sing "Daisuki".


The second Kira Melo stage was from 14:30 to 15:00.
This event was the "entrance ceremony" for the second class students.
There's a rope at the front of the stage, and they had to move it forward
because the stage itself wasn't big enough to hold all of the students.

The emcees were Tsuchiya Mieko and Sawai Natsumi.

They called the second class students to the stage.
There were 50 students, but only 46 were able to come.
The second class students have the same design school uniforms as
the first class, but the color is green instead of blue.

The second class students sang the Kira Kira Melody Gakuen school song
and the theme song.

Then all the first class students came onto the stage, and they all
sang "Daisuki".  It was basically the first class students singing,
and all of the second class students dancing.


Nagai Nobuko and Sawai Natsumi were at the Bandai booth information
table for the last hour or so of the day.


At the end of the day, there was a finale stage at the Bandai stage,
and Heart Chu and Dear Me came out, along with all of the companions,
dancers, race queens, producers, etc..


- - - - - - - Some "other" info..

When the girls were passing out the flyers, they only allowed press
to take pictures of them.  Same thing with the girls sitting at the
information table.  But when the Kira Melo staff wasn't looking,
some people were taking pictures..
Also some of the girls ignored the staff and looked at the camera
when someone tried to take pictures. (^_^;)

The stage events were totally free.  Pictures, movies, audio recording
was allowed.  Some of those lenses and camera equipment..
I bet most of the Kira Melo girls don't make that much money in one year.

On 4/1, Sora and Miri must have taken the same train as me,
as I saw them coming out of the train station after me. (^_^;)

Many of the second class girls looked cuter than I remember from the
audition.  I guess the Kira Melo school uniform makes them look cute,
or they had cuteness lessons before the singing lessons.

I took some stealth pics of Fujisawa, the pretty female manager.. (^_^;)

At the 4/1 event, I was sitting in the first row to the right,
right in front of Nagai Nobuko. (^_^;
But there was a camera woman in the front that kept moving around
and blocking me.. (;_;)
Also being in the very front row with a high stage is not very good
for taking pictures.  The angle is pretty bad.. (;_;)

At the first 4/2 event, I was sitting in the second row to the left.
The angle from here wasn't that bad..  but still not that great.

At the second 4/2 event, I was sitting in the fourth row dead center.
Sometimes I went up on one knee to get a better angle. (^_^;

I took a video (Hi8) of most of the first class student's songs.
When they weren't singing I took pictures.  But the stage was pretty
dark and had weird color lighting, and my flash wasn't recharging fast
enough.  I couldn't take as many pictures as I wanted..
