My busy three day weekend.. (^_^;
(Monday was a national holiday in Japan.)

On Saturday (9/22), I went to the Tokyo Verdy 1969 soccer game.
Of course it wasn't to watch the soccer game, but to watch the
Veru Pola Girls.

The Veru Pola girls stand by the goods corner from 17:00 to 19:00.
They let people into the stadium at 17:00, and the soccer game starts at
19:00.  But they let the Verdy fan club members into the stadium at 16:40.
I didn't think being a fan club member was beneficial, but I saw the
Veru Pola girls come out at around 16:50.
So I rushed in, and talked to Noa before the ordinary crowd. (^_^;

This time, they held "stage" like events every 15 minutes.
The narrator girl talked about the Verdy design Polaroid camera (3200 yen)
and some other Verdy goods.  Then she introduced the Veru Pola Girls,
who introduced themselves, and some Verdy goods.

Also those who bought the Verdy design Polaroid camera were able to get
their picture taken with the girls.  But this time, they allowed us to
get our picture taken with just one girl, instead of the whole group. (^_^;

I also gave some pictures and stickers (that I made from the pictures)
to Nao and Chieko.  Just wrote a letter to Noa, as I'll give her lots of
pictures later.

After the soccer game, my friend and I went to Shinjuku to meet up with
another friend, and we went drinking for a couple hours.
(I did have a little bit to eat at the stadium too.)
When I got home, it was past midnight..

On Sunday (9/23), I had a baseball game at 12:30.  It was the first game of
the Autumn Tournament, and we won easily (slaughter rule).  Since my injured
left shoulder was still hurting, they used a DH and I only got to pitch. (;_;)
So I didn't feel like I did much, but I improved my record to 13-4.

Then I went to Shinjuku and bought some photo albums, as I had printed lots
of pictures for Kasumi.  But I wasn't sure if I would be able to give them
to her, so I didn't write a letter (I really didn't have time anyway).

Then I went to Toritsu Daigaku (on the Toyoko line) to go to the Meguro
Fukushi Center.  But I had no idea where the hall was, so I wondered around
for 30 minutes looking for the hall.  I arrived a few minutes before they
let in, so it wasn't a problem.  I found a seat in the third row, off to
the left, so I was in a good position to see Kasumi.

The Meguro Fukushi Center Hall was a small hall, probably capable of
seating 300 or so.  I think there were over 150 people, so this was one
of the biggest crowds that I have seen in a while.. (^_^;

The event was called "Unit Paradise", and it was a concert type event
by various groups.  The first group was Metafo, made up of former Kira Melo
girls Mito Yoko, Endou Satoko, Takase Noriko, Akami Yukie, Furuuchi Rika,
and Ogura Maiko.  (Take the first letter of the girls' last names,
and you get the group name.)  Metafo sang three songs: Matsuura Aya,
CoCo, and one of their own.  I hadn't seen most of these girls since March,
I don't thing they changed much.  Noriko was very cute (as she was before).

The second group was Cutie Pai.  They were wearing their waitress outfits!
Too bad pictures weren't allowed.  They opened up with "Hello Cutie Pai".
But Miyuu (Kasumi) had a cold, and she could hardly sing/talk. (;_;)
The next songs were "Reflection Love" and "Peaty Time".
Then they sang a new song, "Koi no Kisetsu to Kimi to Boku".
This song was written my Mayu.  They used stand mikes for this song, and
this was their first song that used stand mikes.  It had a cute dance,
and Miyuu was in the middle (Mayu left, Makky right).
Then the last song was "Yell".

It seemed that the girls would be selling stuff in the lobby after
the event, so I would have a chance to give Kasumi the pictures.
So after Cutie Pai, there were two other groups, but I didn't pay much
attention to them, as I was busy writing a letter to Kasumi.. (^_^;

After the event, I went to the lobby and gave the pictures and letter
to Kasumi.  Since her cold seemed pretty bad, she could hardly talk.
But she was still very cute.  I apologized for not being able to go to
their event during the day time (they also had an event at 12:30),
and she asked me if I had won the baseball game. (^_^;
Then I bought a ticket for Cutie Pai's next event (10/13), and said
good bye to Kasumi.  I also want to go to their event on 11/3, but that's
a Sunday, and I might have a baseball game that day (if we keep winning
in the tournament).

I ate two Tsukimi Burgers at McDonalds on the way home. (^_^;

On Monday (9/24), there was a Miyanishi Noa (Nagai Nobuko) photo
session at Kasai Rinkai Kouen (next to Tokyo Disneyland).
But the meeting place was Hamamatsu-cho at 9:20 in the morning!
We were going to take a boat from Hamamatsu-cho to the park, so we
had to meet early.  The boat left at 10:00, and the boat ride was
a little less than one hour.
Of course we took pictures of Noa on the boat too. (^_^;

Then the photo session in the park was from 11:00 to 15:45,
with about one hour break for lunch.
It was a very nice day (no clouds at all), so I got sun-tanned/burnt
a lot.  I just took 7 rolls of pictures.. should have taken more. (;_;)
