Some quick reports on the recent Kira Melo events.. (^_^;

9/2 11:00-12:00 Hachiouji Animate
---------------------------------
The guests were Nagai Nobuko, Tsuchiya Mieko, Takahira Jun,
Shintani Sayaka, Sakurai Sara, and Kuwakado Sora.
The event was held in the third floor of Animate, and they turned off
the air conditioner!  I think the building didn't have enough power
to run both the air conditioner and the sound system at the same time.
It was also one of the hottest days of the year.
The temperature quickly rose, and it became very HOT during the songs.

The event flowed as follows.

 - Daisuki (everyone)
 - Pride (everyone)  [the power failed once during this song..]
 - short talk
 - Tururu Daishouri (Heart Chu)
 - N'est-ce Pas (Heart Chu)
 - final message
 - handshake session

Luckily they turned the air conditioner back on after the songs.

For this event, I arrived before 9:00, and I was the third person
in line.  So I was able to sit in the front row. (^_^;
There wasn't much time for the handshake session for this event,
so I only bought one CD.

No photos allowed during this event.


9/2 14:00-15:30 Disk Inn Kichijoji
----------------------------------
20 of the Kira Melo first class students came for this event
(missing Minano Fuuko and Suzuki Michiko).
The event flowed as follows.

 - Pride (everyone)
 - Idol ha Kitto Sekai wo Sukuu (Heart Chu)
 - Kira Kira (Heart Chu)
 - Soba ni Itai (Dear Me)
 - Say U (Muteki Palette)
 - Kira Para Fire (everyone)
 - Daisuki (everyone)
 - handshake session

The emcees for this event were Tsuchiya Mieko and Mito Yoko.
Everyone wore the school uniforms for this event.

The opening talk for Kira Para Fire was done by Kimura Ikue.

Dear Me was the three person version.

I bought two CDs and went to the handshake session twice. (^_^;

The ticket numbers for this event were determined by pulling numbers
out of a box, and I got number 92. (;_;)
But Richard gave me his number (30), so I was able to sit in the
third row.  But standing in the fifth row or so probably wouldn't
have made that much difference..

This event was held in the store, so anyone was able to watch for free
from the back.

No photos allowed during this event.


9/9 15:00-16:30 Seibu Tokorozawa
--------------------------------
The guests were Sakurai Sara, Tsuchiya Mieko, Takahira Jun,
Shintani Sayaka, Ohtsuka Mae, Matsumoto Chiyomi, Kuwakado Sora,
Takase Noriko, Serai Shizuko, and Mito Yoko.
Asano Masumi was also supposed to appear, but she was sick and missed
this event.

The event took place on a tiny stage on the first floor, right in
front of the main entrance to the Seibu department store.
They had to close off the entrance during the event, as there were
too many people blocking the entrance.
It was a free event, for those who just wanted to watch the songs.

The girls came out at around 14:20 to do a short rehearsal in their
street clothes.  For the event, everyone wore the school uniforms.

The event flowed as follows.

 - Pride (everyone)
 - Kira Para Fire (everyone)
 - Say U (Muteki Palette)
 - Idol ha Kitto Sekai wo Sukuu (Heart Chu)
 - Kira Kira (Heart Chu)
 - Daisuki (everyone)
 - signing/handshake session

The emcees were Sara and Mae.

I had arrived at around 12:00, and was able to sit in the first row.

The signing/handshake session took place after the songs.
Those who bought a CD got a ticket.  All the girls sat down at a
table, and signed the little Daisuki CD pamphlets.
This is much smaller and easier to manage than a poster.
But everything flowed quickly, and the girls just signed their names.
They didn't write any message.

I bought two CDs and went through the handshake session twice.

Mieko, Sayaka, and Jun asked me if I was going to go to their event
the next day (in Osaka)..  I told them that Osaka was too far. (^_^;
[of course I didn't say that I was going to watch Nagai Kasumi..] (^_^;;

No photos allowed during this event. (;_;)
