| Ai Chu event on 10/18/2000
| Started around 7:00pm
| Ended around 9:50pm
| (according to Hitoshi, two hours is normal)

For the monthly Idol Chu-Mail events, around 2 hours is normal.

| Idols/Seiyuu attending:
| 1. Akino Hitomi (wore a VERY standard idol outfit, also a VERY minor
| seiyuu)

Mostly idol.
She has her first seiyuu role in the drama Crystal Cherry.

| 2. Heart Chu (Shintani Sayaka, Takahira Jun, Tsuchiya Mieko)
| 3. Enomoto Shoko and Shimizu Kaori (seiyuu for Strange Dawn)
| 4. Tokunaga Ai
| 
| General number of fans:
| 150 or so, *1* girl (the Kira Melo fan)
| 
| Overall reaction:
| Many people were drunk or on the way as the event started. There were
| fans of the host (who is also an idol, apparently), and they heckled her
| a little.

The host was Okamoto Eri.  Very cute..
She'll be at the Kira Melo Bunkasai too.


| Many of the fans seemed to like more than one idol/seiyuu.

Many "dd" people. (^_^;
(dd = daredemo daisuki)


| To Heart Chu: Pretty enthusiastic; crowd occasionally lost rhythm.
| (song list: Heart Chu theme, Daisuki, Pride, N'est ce Pas, ?, "Ai need
| chu"?, Kira Kira)

Tururu Daishouri

| KiraMelo info:
| 11/30 - Heart Chu single: no pre-sale?

Sayaka said they won't take reservations, but now they are.


| To Tokunaga Ai: things got REALLY loud when Ai came out; a lot of
| jumping around and bouncing. Possibly has the most fans of all of the
| acts. (was an idol before joining Kira Melo, and is on her own again)
| After her first song, she asked for a beer. She seems to nave a pretty
| good handle on her fans. Not a bad dancer (for an idol-seiyuu).

"Officially" she's 19 so she can't drink.
I hear her real age is closer to 24.

Actually they toned down the calls a lot.
Before the calls were "Ai, Ai, Ai, Ai, Ai-chan!"
but now, they just say "Ai-chan!"


| Overall feelings (writer's perspective):
| Well, man. For such a small group of people, these guys can generate a
| good amount of noise. O-o I was there for two reasons ? to get an idea
| of what idol fans are like, and because of Heart Chu. (Okay, I like
| Sayaka… she’s not quite Chiyomi, but she’s still nice.) Will I go to
| another Ai Chu event? I don’t know. Maybe.

Sayaka looked even more mature on Wednesday.

I guess you will see some more of the hard core idol fans as
Suzuki Marie is one of the guests at the Kira Melo Bunkasai.
They can get really loud at indoor events..
