| Omake event report version 0.8 by Akiba Itsuki, 2002.07.13

Thank you!

| It was my first idol event in Japan (and first event at all), and I was
| pretty impressed.

Luckily it was a pretty good one.

| The first stage was Passhu - two funny girls who sang pretty loud, but I
| liked their songs, especially the slow one.
| Just as everyone who I had chance to see this evening, they dance and sing
| good.
| They didn't really notice me, so... ^_^;

These girls are junior high (or maybe first year high school) girls.
I don't like them so I usually don't pay attention to them.

| The second stage was Miracle Twin Star, and they had their own style I liked
| very much. They had really nice songs and voices. One of the girls (Midori?
| ^^; Sorry, I can't remember the name, Hitoshi-san, tasukete!!) noticed me
| and smiled to me sometimes *^_^*

Midori is the one in blue (usually on the right), and Mikiko
is the one in red (usually on the left).  As for Miracle Twin Star,
I don't mind their songs or dances.  They aren't bad.
But both of the girls are too fat for my tastes.. (^_^;

Oh, I took some pics of Miracle Twin Star at the Cutie Land event.
(anime.jyu.fi/~doi/EVENTS/cutiepai/land1/)
This is the first time that pics of Miracle Twin Star was allowed.

| After them was Cutie Pai stage!!! Aaaa, kawaii!! In real life, they looks
| way too cuter than on video.

They even look cuter without the wigs too.

| The way we were sitting, I couldn't see Makky
| very good, but I could see Mayu very well.. and she was looking at me too.

I watched Makio most of the time.
But I did notice Mayu-chan looking our way.. (^_^;

| She smiled me some times, and after stage, when me and Hitoshi-san came to
| their table, Mayu was really happy to meet me, she said that she thought I
| was cute, and I've got a chance to shake hands with her!! Her hand was
| really soft, warm and little. Mayu-chan, kawai sugiru yo! That was an
| experience *_*

I wish we had more time (if the LaLaLu line went faster we would
have had more time at the Cutie Pai table).
Then I could have gotten them to sign something for you..

| As for singing and dancing, I was surprised. When I was watching video, I
| didn't think much of them (^^;;; baka atashi), but in real, they're doing
| their work very good! I could hear and watch everything, and I liked it.. I
| wish I could go to their event again ^_^

Well.. the videos that you saw only had Kasumi in it (^_^;
so it's hard to get the whole picture.
Cutie Pai sang another new song at Cutie Land, where the entire
group moves around and changes positions more.  I have it on video
(haven't made the mpegs yet) so I'll send you the CDRs later.

[skipping Hiromi (^_^;]

| When Hiromi left, Megu-chan came out. She was wearing colorful yukata, and I
| liked her very much.
| In the middle of her stage, she noticed and recognized me (o_O) and tell to
| everyone: 'Itsuki-chan came today'
|  or something like this.. She ask me to stand up, and whole audition
| applaused me *^^*;

I was surprised she did this.  Next time when Sebastien comes
I have to take him to an Amano Megumi event. (^_^;

| And, at last, LaLalu came. Just as Cutie Pai, they looks better than on
| video. ^_^; I couldn't see Sara, Noa and Ikue much, since they were on the
| right side, but Hina and Asuka were just before me. Fuuko, Sayaka and Mae
| too. Fuuko has really nice legs ^_^; I guess, I liked her clothes most of
| all.

We chose those seats (my friends and I had the entire front row),
so you can get close to Hina. (^_^;

| Hina was smiling to me sometimes too!! *__*
| Asuka wasn't fat at all, and she's cuter than on video and photos. She's
| small and cute.

Asuka is losing weight, and she's getting closer to "normal" sizes
but I think she's still on the fat side.  She is getting cuter and
cuter though.  I'm in trouble if she gets too cute.. (^_^;;

| I was able to chat with girls when they were selling their CD. As
| Hitoshi-san said, we bought 2 last CDs! ^_^
| I was able to shake hands with Hina, Asuka, Fuuko and Ikue! I told Ikue that
| me and my friends saw video with her (video about American goods shop) and
| we liked her a lot ^_^;

Very lucky you were a girl. (^_^;  They didn't allow handshakes at
that event, but the LaLaLu girls made an exception for you.

| Hina asked me to come to their event again and I answered that it can be
| hard, to come from Russia. Girls were really surprised that I came from
| there. I told them that I really love them, especially Hina. But, actually,
| I love all of them. That's was really great evening.

I was really impressed with your level of Japanese.
You were able to talk to the girls without any problem.

| When girls were leaving to staff room, Hina gave to me a present - her
| 'papa's mustache!! ^__^
| That's my treasure ^_^
| Next time I come to their event, I wear it ^_^

I hope LaLaLu (and Cutie Pai) is still performing the next time
you come to Japan.
