  * Event report version 0.6 by Hitoshi Doi, 2001.08.30 

This event was basically a band live, but the "idol" group Cutie Pai
was invited as the first guest. The Manhole live house was a very
small live house. There wasn't even a dressing room, so the performers
just stood around and waited in the back of the room. There were no
seats (chairs) either. 

Since I took a day off (this was a weekday event), I arrived at the
live house before 15:00, and it wasn't even open. Some of the band
groups were waiting outside. So, I went to eat and shop, and then
returned to the Manhole before 17:00. I saw Kasumi (Cutie Pai's Miyuu)
sitting on the stairs! The Cutie Pai girls were still waiting for
their turn at rehearsals. 

They let in around 15 minutes late (18:15), and the event started a
few minutes late too. 

Cutie Pai wore their layered, orange and white idolish outfits. Their
stage (around 25 minutes) flowed as follows. 

  * Hello Cutie Pai 
  * Gakuen Tengoku 
  * Peaty Time 
  * Reflection Love 
  * Yell 

The Cutie Pai girls sold tickets and goods (just a Cutie Pai lighter),
on the stairs (^_^; after the second band finished.

photo notes
-----------
I bought a EF 50mm F1.8 II lens on the way to the event.. (^_^;
Since I had to take both videos and photos, I only took
2 rolls of pictures, Konica Sinbi 200 and Fuji Provia 400.
The stage was very dark, so the AF on the EOS 7 didn't work at times..
