Last live and last report of the year!!
I want to make a summary post but I’ve been spending the past 2 days in Disneyland with my family.. all the while queuing while thinking about winter Comiket lol. ;__; Let’s see if I can write it today before going for Kohaku (supporting from outside the hall :3).

Anyway, back to AniDori. It was a solid live!

Before the live… Ura-theme Yukarin ramen!
I arrived at 6am with overnight bus… Niigata had nothing! I walked 30 mins around the station and couldn’t find any net cafe. Meeting my friends around noon to eat Yukarin ramen in Ittouya!!

Yukarin had one during her SCS tour in Niigata! It was delicious for the rather cheap price… that pork slice was huuuge. ^__^ I saw so many Anidori people eating this ramen too lolol.

Entrance.
Very spacey hall, but only 70% used for the concert. About 35 rows to the back, and 100 seats per row. All center block was Girls’ Area, more than 600 girls!! And more girls scattering in general seats too.. maybe about 30% were girls? Obviously thanks to GRANRODEO, though I did see many girls in JAM shirts and a few in Faylan’s (including me lol). Oh, my seat was 1st pre-order lottery for Girls’ Area, so awesomely row 4, in the center!!

As usual for pics, Faylan snapped plenty~!

1. JAM Project x GRANRODEO / SOULTAKER
Too busy jumping I didn’t remember what exactly they wore, but everyone were in black. xD Anidori spoiled collaboration plans beforehand, but didn’t make it any less awesome. Kishow’s voice blend in well with JAM, hot start!

Hashimoto Miyuki (site)

2. Glossy:MMM
3. 未来回帰線 (Mirai Kaikisen)
4. Faze to love

First time seeing Miyuki-chan.. Santa Miyuki too damn cute! I like some of her songs though her good songs are for (ero)ge not animu, so maybe not so well-known internationally? Mirai Kaikisen is <333 Her MC was rather plain tho. ^^;

5. Hashimoto Miyuki x Faylan / 微熱S.O.S!! (Binetsu S.O.S!!)
Feinyan joined in! She wore her pink 1st costume in Polaris live.. leeegs <333 Binetsu is a Miyuki-chan song I like, though I hated the anime it came from (pseudo-IM@S). They’re cute together in MC, though it was more like Feinyan being too rabu-rabu to Miyuki-chan. Oy oy. xD

Faylan

6. Last vision for last
7. 本能のDOUBT (Honnou no DOUBT)
8. mind As Judgement

Basically LisAni setlist (and just 4 days before) so while I totally went crazy, there’s nothing new to write here lol. I noticed fangirls were like, “who?” though I heard “Ero-kakkoii~~~” and “She’s good” murmurs. :3

Yousei Teikoku

9. 鮮血の誓い (Senketsu no Chikai)
10. ザ・クリエーター (The Creator)
11. Baptize
12. Patriot Anthem

Glad I could meet Yui-sama again this year, since she missed Anisama and I missed their solo in September. SOOO happy for MagiPoka OP!! That’s how I discovered them 3-4 years(?) ago! Baptize was damn cool too.

As usual AWSM MC with repeat self-plug of their new album and Yui-sama being herself (in fairy chara). ^^;; She taught us to do Patriot Anthem call: “WE ARE MARTYR. WE ARE BELIEVER. AND WE JUST BELIEVE THE FAIRY.” .. It’s long and hard and especially in English so people were a bit confused.. in the middle of practicing Yui-sama gave up, “Whatever let’s just do half.” ^^;;; But the real thing was great! We did metal hand sign too \m/ I believe the fairy!!

Shiina Hekiru

13. Reincarnation
14. FIGHTING BOY
15. Let me Say YEAH!!!!

First time seeing Hekiru.. I understand why she was the first seiyuu to get Budokan (3 years before Nana!) though strangely rather inactive in the past 3-4 years. No idea about the songs, but powerful voice and stable live performance.. also cute/airhead MC (“Ah. So many girls. You know what, I like girls.” lolwut? xD) and definitely way too cute to be 36. Given more songs I might fall for her :3

BREAK surprisingly 30 mins.. I was expecting 10 lol, besides it was only after 15 songs, not even 2 hours.. but totally understandable after seeing how long the girl’s toilet queue was.. O_o;;

Misato Aki

16. 君が空だった (Kimi ga Sora Datta)
17. 最後のエデン (Saigo no Eden)
18. 僕らの自由 (Bokura no Jiyuu)

I was expecting StoPani, but yuri song fulfilled with KimiSora (ShizNat!!). I like Aki-chan’s husky singing voice, so even I didn’t know her newer Saigo no Eden (no idea MuvLuv is still ongoing lol), I enjoyed it.  Also <3 the SuperRobotWars-ish Bokura no Jiyuu too.

GRANRODEO

19. HEAVEN

….totally distracted with 2 fangirls in santa one-piece in front of me doing crazy headbanging. ^^;;;; As expected of the girls, but GRANRODEO has plenty fanboys too. Well, they’re pretty cool with real ani-rock songs.

20. GRANRODEO x Misato Aki / シャニムニ (Shanimuni)～Scarlet Bomb!
Surprise!! Aki-chan joined in after the first verse of Shanimuni. Both are the same song with different lyrics (Scarlet Bomb! is the original NEEDLESS song, then GRANRODEO covered/altered it). Both artists probably did their own lyrics? though I don’t memorize it. ^^; Loved the duet!

21. Infinite Love
22. modern strange cowboy
23. ROSE HIP-BULLET

Back to GRANRODEO solo, they performed all these in Anisama so I could totally enjoy them, especially MS Cowboy! <33 Okay to be honest I bought their albums lol ssshh. xD I didn’t do KII♥YAAAAAA♥N shouts though, believe me! The santa fangirls were still on crack btw.

JAM Project

24. MAXON
25. TRANSFORMERS EVO.
26. レスキューファイアー (Rescue Fire)
27. GONG～SKILL

Everyone in black (pics@blog Makkun, Endoh, Dani). Epic songs one after another.. towel song TRANSFORMERS, my personal fave Rescue Fire too! It was 2 degree cold rainstorm outside the hall, but everyone inside was only raining sweat… too hot! Looooved GONG karaoke (I didn’t realize I memorized it xD) before breaking into THE only way to end a JAM solo… I CAN FRY! HEY! WE CAN FRY! HEY! MOTTO MOTTO!!! ヾ(*≧∀≦*)ﾉ

ENCORE～FINAL MC.
Everyone wore live shirts (JAM in black, girls in white) except Yui-sama who’s still in her full costume.. probably too hard with that gothic get-up? ^^;; Santa Miyuki’s santa-cape moved to Hekiru now. xD Each artists gave a short message, ending with Kageyama thanking us for coming, summarizing how this Christmas eve eve was a success! And promising a successor next year…. XD

28. All Artists / HERO
There’s no Anidori-special song, but didn’t stop them to perform an encore song together with JAM Project’s cheerful HERO! Now I see why some artists were holding papers.. lyrics. ^^; Really funny to see Yui-sama trying to keep her cool fairy image while singing a JAM song. Ending the live with a very good, relaxed feeling! ( ´∀｀ ) Everyone spent some time waving goodbye to fans too.

Impressions.
Can’t help not comparing Anidori with Lisani… for me personally, Anidori definitely won: 3 collaborations out of 7 artists, final MC with final song performed by all artists, a very get-together feel. Maybe unfair to compare them with JAM’s involvement in Anidori. ^^; Shows how different it is when artists produce the event (Anidori) vs. companies (Lisani).

In terms of fans, I realized it’s unavoidable to have fans coming only for certain artists in this kind of event… so there will be non-supporters just spacing out. Though being out-of-nowhere they couldn’t run away in the middle of the live. ^^; I thought most fangirls will only cheer for GRANRODEO, but they showed decent support to everyone.

The only drawback was location.. Niigata isn’t too far but if Anidori gets bigger they might have problems. Hard to think they’ll move since it’s obviously Niigata city tourism plan. Well they haven’t fully utilize this hall yet (max capacity 6000) so it’s too soon to worry.

Great end to 2010. Looking forward to Anidori 2nd ACTION!

It’s obvious I’ve attended various concerts/events since I landed in Japan. I kept saying they’re all “awesome”, but I dare to say AnisamaGN left the biggest impact.

Big difference to normal Anisama which was a big-scale festival with continuous stream of awesome songs… AnisamaGN had each artist talked after each song. ^^;; Befitting its name “Girls Night”, held in small 1k-ish capacity hall, the atmosphere was so personal like.. an epic pajama party! Performers felt more secure to talk/act freely, even responded to whatever crap we shouted! ♥

For now it won’t get a release, so I’m writing A LOT to store this unforgettable experience! Put relevant pics (credits to artists blogs I linked) so enjoy slowly!

Goods.
Arrived 1 hour before, got too excited I bought everything ^^;; well there were only 3 goods.. afraid to invest much on an experimental live?

-Book with photos and in-depth interview of each artist.. all original content!! Includes CD (2 songs) + DVD (40 mins footage)! You can buy this too!
-Shushu!! Technically hairband but everyone used it as wristband.
-Towel is okay but I regret the useless tote-bag >_>
-3rd Polaris CD to get Faylan’s sign orz.
-Silver confetti from the live. Nothing printed but.. sentimental value? lol

Getting in..
Got my ticket from the first lottery and probably the BEST I’ve ever won. Free-seating by entering-number order.. there’s mini-platform and I secured row 2 right in front of that! Getting in early means more waiting time so I talked around. Front-row Ryoko-ists distributed UO! Noticed Makkun fans, Asapon fans with IM@S towel, Minami fans in their 40s (!!), .. happi-coat-wearing Mingos fan ^^; when the hall starts to get full, it already felt different! Girly giggles and chatters lol.

Yes this was girls-only. We’re awesome.

Opening: Fashion Show
BEST OPENING EVER!! Each artist was introduced while doing fashion walk… throwing flying kisses… posing cute and sexy… with all fangirls screaming like crazy!! Zero chance happening in normal live. No idea how I survived (´Д｀；)ハアハア

Highlights..

-Aso Natsuko (Nacchan) TOO !@#!# CUTE I got this kyuun feeling ^^; what a doll!
-Imai Asami (Mingosu) THREW THAT JACKET to us. Row 4 girl caught it OMG as expected from fan(girl-only)service queen!!
-Kuribayashi Minami (Kurinoko) was too dangerous.. bending over and pose that awesome cleavage to our face.. I did get heart attack. d(>_<)b

-Okui Masami (Makkun) & Satou Hiromi-nee can’t possibly be 40 orz
-Makkun’s theme is “first date in Disneyland” oy oy way too innocent! xD
-Faylan did ass-shaking LOL TOO CUTE~ Minnie sweater & ribbon *dies*
-Shimoda Asami (Asapon) in school uniform did BANG!BANG! twice and kamehameha once.

Last artist Aki stayed in center, then 3 girls each from left and right joined in for..

Okui Masami x Kuribayashi Minami x Faylan x Shintani Ryoko x Misato Aki x Aso Natsuko x Shimoda Asami for ZOMGGGGGG HARE HARE YUKAI!! SEVEN artists collaboration! Tension was already crazy after fashion show, but this was EPIC! Nacchan was the only one who knows the dance! ♥

Welcoming MC with Makkun’s “Girls Night smells good!” then Faylan sniffed us LOL. Also said this is going to be long (certainly did..) but we’re all up for it!

Satou Hiromi (blog)
Still on the same costume. Finally I get to see Hiromi-nee! How did her voice stays cute over the years?! GuriGuri sounded exactly how I first heard it in GreenGreen! Angelica was more mature, then wheee Galaxy Angel’s Angelic Symphony!!!!

My area started the “shachou” (company president) call which became the trend ^^;; (she heads S-inc agency). Mentioned her turning 40 this year. We shouted “KAWAII YO!!” (honestly) and she got so happy she wanted to throw 100yen to each of us LOL. Shachou also said that not only all performers/attendees are female, but ALL band members and backstage staff too! Wonderful.

Another call trend started: “mizu oishii?!” (water delicious?) when artist drinks water ^^;; Nico-watchers tweeted they couldn’t believe girls do this too~xD Usually artists don’t really reply (simply “oishii yo” or ignored), but AnisamaGN got replies! Shachou said, “Drinking in Tokyo Girls Night with everyone.. WATER TASTES THE BEST!!” XD

Performers #2, 3, 4 backstage!

Nakano Aiko (blog)
Cut her hair short, wearing all black, deep voice, Aiko was definitely the coolest!! She just debuted earlier this year for Dance in the Vampire Bund; Tsumeato and Friends were more powerful than I thought. Aiko confessed she’s not girly at all, but worked hard to increase her girl power for GN! Loved it when she asked everyone to do “duck pout” while saying “kyu~♥” LOL really girls-night-only!

Stephanie (blog)
Wore really short shorts to expose her really long legs (yes, wins over Kobayu or Tomachan)… as expected from half-European… so jealous! Everyone murmured the same thing (“足長！” Legs so long! O_o). She can really control her high pitch–Kimi ga Iru Kagiri was woah, tho I only knew Gundam00‘s Friends beforehand. Mentioned GN Osaka in MC; some shouted “I went to Osaka!” hayyy if I knew it was this good I would’ve done so too! >_>

Aso Natsuko (blog)
Have I screamed Nacchan’s SO !@#!@# CUTE? I did? WELL SHE IS! Darn catchy songs too, weird since I watched Bakatest and didn’t realize that.. must be real-person effect / full songs? (btw I bought her album ♪) More-more LOVERS!! out next week! Speaking about MM! in MC, Nacchan claimed that she’s M too! xD She taught us to do special Perfect-area complete! move for chorus. Cuuuuuute.

Anison Medley
DAMN EPIC. Totally different set from Osaka Medley. All performers participated to sing 5 great songs!! Started with Makkun x Aiko for a powerful Cruel Angel Thesis! And nostalgic Touch (Hiromi-nee x Aiko x Steph)..

Triple Asa For Fruits Basket (Nacchan x Asapon x Mingosu have 麻 (Asa) kanji in their names~)!! Followed by woooot Catch You Catch Me by Ryoko x Asapon x Aki~ all girls LOVED CCS! Lastly, Faylan x Minami for Tamashii no Refrain! In contrast with Minami’s kind smile, Feinyan looked darn fierce while singing.. I like! (// A //) EPIC.EPIC.EPIC.

Girls Talk Corner
Off limits to boys, even cut from NicoLive streaming! Soooo… sorry guys, no details from me too. :3 The least I could say.. it lasted 30 minutes. Participants sat on chairs reading questions from survey took before the live, discussing the problems.. private sharing fanboys will never know ♥ Makkun and Faylan led the talk, with Asapon, Hiromi-nee, Mingosu, Ryoko, Misato Aki, and Stephanie. No idea why they bother excluding only 3 artists. ^^; Hiromi-nee and Stephanie said good stuff, Mingosu was the ice-breaker.. the rest is secret~♥

Faylan (thoughts, pics)
FEINYAAAAAAN!!! Awesome outfit! One of her best traits: built-in switch from extremely fierce/cool Errand to sweet innocent first-love song spring… then swinging a red stick for sexy Honnou no DOUBT!! And totally airhead on MC…. GAP MOE!! I’m in love~~!! (´ω｀●)

Last surprise, Fei said she had been wanting to do something (everyone な～に？ “What is it?“)… Something inspired by Tamura Yukari (okay everyone just screamed)… lifted her red stick and “MELOOOON!” ROFL I saw many girls wearing Yukarin hoodie (me included) so that was clever!

Okui Masami x Shimoda Asami x Faylan / G.F.N.(Girls Friday Night)
Coupling song for AnisamaGN theme. Dancer audition winners made their first appearance here with pompoms! Pretty easy dance for everyone to follow along~ Looove this song!

Shimoda Asami (blog)
Asapon had more fangirls than I had thought. 2 girls in front of me waved yellow balrog (4 lights each hand)!  Glad I bought yellow lights for her too, since Asapon mentioned in MC the yellow sea felt like a dream~♪ Vocaloid Rinrin Signal was impressive! Need real skill to keep switching male (Len) and female (Rin) voice. Asapon did Ren’s Kokoro in Osaka, but Tokyo got the cooler Len’s Aku no Meshitsukai! The first time she performed it live!

Asapon had special “水タイム” (Water Time); asking everyone to drink together, even “kampai” cheers with us!! Someone shouted “How does the water taste?” xD and get “大地の味” (Taste of Earth)–Asapon’s running joke from Choraji radio. During second MC, she asked us back “What does everyone’s water taste like?” and everyone shouted back “大地の味!!!” awesome crowd control~ and the last BANG! hit the right spots~♪

Misato Aki (blog)
Sutopa kitaaaaaa—!!! Shoujo Meiro de Tsukamaete!!! Introduced it in MC as a song from “Yuri Monogatari” (Yuri Tale). Most girls giggled, the girl next to me shouted “DAISUKI!!” ^^;;; then almost everyone shouted “Watched it!!!” Aren’t we totally the best crowd ever?!

I’ve always liked Aki’s voice. She looked and sounded more mature than Anisama’09, especially in MC before feel it. “There’s a meaning behind every meeting with people you love, no matter how it ended.. both good and bad feelings will help you to grow stronger.” Respect+1. Latest single, energetic SRW song Bokura no Jiyuu ended Aki’s set.

Shintani Ryoko (blogged about each girl)
Ryoko probably had the most hardcore fangirls, most cosplaying as her ^^; Also has the sweetest smile! In MC actually reminded me of her Zetsubou Sensei chara, the “too normal” girl ^^;;; but hey I think she’s charming. Changed 2 songs from Osaka: HONEY TEE PARTY! stays, then Piece of love and Marching Monster. I never really got into her but she built good atmosphere with those fast-beat fun pop songs.

Shintani Ryoko x Imai Asami
Perfect combo of the most normal artist and the weirdest one. xD That way they were a good comedian couple during MC. ^^; First-time singing together, they decided their song… via email. ^^;;; It’s from ancient Gainax anime Fushigi no Umi no Nadia, Blue Water! Actually the first time I heard it but loved it. LOL @ Mingosu’s bad timing for the last-jump.

Imai Asami
Replied our insane “MINGOOOOSU!!” screams with “Yes Mingosu here!” xD It’s a wonder how she excels in gloomy songs with such a bright personality ^^; definitely the best MC! Mingosu is known for her “interest” in girls, be it other seiyuu or fangirls. It’s so obvious she was too happy to be in AnisamaGN she just couldn’t stop smiling. First thing she said, “Surrounded by this many girls.. am I in heaven?” xD

Asked who got the jacket she threw during fashion show.. told her it’s a present so please use it with love! Seeing everyone’s jealous face she asked “What else can I throw?” while inspecting her own costume… everyone got really excited but she quickly said, “What, you think I’m a kigurumi?” LOL. Promoted first album Color Sanctuary before singing its lead song. So happy to hear girls shouting “Omedetou!” she wants to record it.. ^^;

Water time, Mingosu looked in the wrong basket so she checked the other basket saying, “Phew, almost drank other girls’ water.. (someone shouted “Just drink it!“) …good idea! Now is a my only chance to do that.. hmmm Aki’s water or…” Oyoy. ^^; Also best reply to “How does the water taste?” ever…. “It tasted like everyone’s sweat!!” xD

Mingosu took off her long skirt ON STAGE lololol fangirls insanely screamed ^^; Someone shouted “Mawatte!!” so we all followed~ She did her usual turn-jump~ kyaaa legs!! As expected Nyankoi’s Strawberry up next, sweeeet. Last song’s notice got not only the usual “Eeee?!” but also いやだ！もっと歌って！(Nooo, sing more!). It’s Shangrila! She re-used her long skirt as a cloak this time.. what a cool beauty (as long she doesn’t talk?).

Twitter: “Mingosu isn’t a pervert!! I’m normal!! *grins*”

Last 2 performers.

Kuribayashi Minami (blog)
KYAMINAMIKYA!! Everyone just love Minami. To balance her first smexy look, she wore a simple first-date-ish white outfit this time. As much as I like cleavage (lol) this fits her mature/calm composure more. Started with Precious Memories, first song in GN that got call warning (Heeee~~y! heyheyhey!) before PPPH (pan-pan-pan-JUMP!). This didn’t happen in Osaka so Minami thanked us during MC, she was surprised and said it felt special!

Nice boat Namida no Wake is my favorite Minami ballad it made me cry even before I understood any Japanese.. good choice. ;_; And first time hearing Tsubasa wa Pleasure Line!! One of her best energetic songs! Was hoping she’d perform Shining☆Days so ShizNatMyHime can get a representative.. xD

Ee still on stage? “Now I’d like to call my beloved person….”

Okui Masami x Kuribayashi Minami
MAKKUN!! Wuuut more collabo?! And above all, Get along!! Minami filled in Hayashibara Megumi’s parts, even did the back-to-back dance! Before singing Makkun threw her hat to us while facing backwards~ girl in front of me got it lol.

Okui Masami (blog, afterthoughts)
Feeling hot Makkun opened her jacket, leaving a red onepiece. I swear someone shouted “SEXYYY!!” lmao. Started with Shuffle –totally forgot it’s a towel song ^^; Btw already over 4 hours by now but everyone was still so energetic! Makkun changed 2 songs from Osaka, STRATEGY stayed then couldn’t believe Sora ni Kakeru Hashi!! One of my faves! Lastly Makkun shouted “みんなかわゆす～” slang for “everyone’s too cuteee~~” ^^;;

All Performers and dancers~

Everyone joined in OMG FAYLAN HAD A TAIL. ^^;;; No idea who forced her to wear.. that.. leopard-print fetish costume.. but daaaaamn cute! Last song Nettaiya Girls, AnisamaGN’s theme! Cool mature song.

ENCORE
Noticed some went home cuz it’s already late. Zepp is kinda far and they might have work the next day. For once I didn’t sit and keep shouting encore!! Yes I was that high (* A *)ノ☆ AN-KO-RU! AN-KO-RU!! …. They reappeared quickly since there’s no live T-shirt, just take towel and go ^^; Another G.F.N.(Girls Friday Night) with everyone! Pompom dance~♥

Final MC
No other MC is longer than this–almost 40 mins. You can watch just this MC for free in Nicolive (starts at 4h 32m).

-Misato Aki thanked us for the special atmosphere~ Mingosu was reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally happy to be in this all-girls event! Being the first two they kept it short without knowing it’d end up a LONG cry-fest..
-Stephanie started the wailing. She said AnisamaGN is more than just “a job”; performers bond with each other, warm supports from girls.. she felt grateful. This got Nacchan‘s eyes teary before her turn. Nacchan broke into tears in less than 30 secs and kept sobbing while thanking us… SO MOEEEE everyone’s “Gambatte!” sounded happy, not sympathetic at all ^^;;

-Asapon talked really fast to hold her tears. Usually performing for 95%-fanboys she was glad we were insane very supportive. Lastly she shouted “がんばるぞ!!” (Let’s work hard!) and everyone “OOOOUUUU!!!” ♥ In contrary Feinyan was already on the verge of crying since Stephanie’s MC. Said how hard everyone worked since rehearsal, especially Hiromi-nee (teary eyes start) and Makkun. Girl power made this event possible in this male-dominated line of work! and moar baaaawls. Understandable why these two got so emotional, being involved with AnisamaGN alongside Makkun closely in Nico channel streaming.

-Minami‘s part was smooth. Didn’t get much rest after OsakaGN and felt unwell, but standing in stage, receiving our support, she felt stronger. Then, “Girls, no matter how strong-looking, are still delicate inside. I hope we all can try our best to achieve our dreams, without pushing too hard!” Respect+1.
-Nakano Aiko broke down within 2 seconds ^^;;; A newcomer to work with such seniors.. so deeply moved she just stood there crying, before muttering she has running nose LOL. Makkun called staff for towel and talked for her, how hardworking Aiko is (making her cry even harder lol). Makkun’s too cool~
-Ryoko was thankful to make new friends, to work with Makkun, and some Girl Power talk. Sorry was paying attention to Nacchan wiping Faylan’s tears with the towel still on Nacchan’s neck.. awww sew sweet! ♥

-Hiromi-nee said it all started in one izakaya night, “All-girls event sounds great, yeah.. *drinks*” LOL (…so they were drunk? xD) Their biggest worry was gathering enough fangirls… will it be a success? Given short time after big-Anisama, everyone had to work extra. This defines Girl Power: working hard while still having fun. Finally in Osaka and Tokyo, seeing our smiles and supports, Hiromi-nee proudly concluded AnisamaGN is a BIG SUCCESS (*≧∀≦)ﾉ

-Makkun said she didn’t have many friends until she joined JAM and then Anisama. Finally brushed her courage up to try producing AnisamaGN……Intermezzoed with Faylan’s eyelashes tearing off ^^; Hiromi-nee did her job as a good shachou: run to cover Fei’s now-makeup-less face LOL.
-Makkun continued talking, somehow Hiromi-nee joined in.. blablabla until Makkun said, “This is becoming a talk show…” ^^;; and Hiromi-nee added, “…Let’s continue in AnisamaGN 2!!!” Insert girl scream here!! YES PLEASE!

-Makkun joked if boys are jealous they should request Anisama Boys Night ROFL all male performers+audience? Honestly think it’s easier to gather more yuri fangirls for the next GN

-Introduced dancers (Yukarin fangirl on leftmost!) and band members: drummer Kanade (tattoo on chest!), bassists Kaya and Shiori, guitarists Yukie and darn-cool Junko, keyboardist Kazuma.

Lastly, Nettaiya Girls!! It was one sultry night indeed!

ENDING
Just like us, they didn’t want to go home! Spent some time waving to everyone.. very nice to see each of them that closely.. (つД｀σ｡ﾟ.o｡

Last part.. Sanbonjime (三本締め), hand claps ritual after artists left the stage. Everyone raised both hands up -> someone shouts short speech -> everyone do 3331 claps. My area led the hand raising, and somehow I ended up doing the speech ^^;;; No chance happening in normal lives so I’m actually very proud~ xD

Phew. 5 hours 15 mins. ^^;

AnisamaGN proved to be more than just a “concert”.
Makkun & Hiromi-nee, all artists, band members, dancers, staff, fangirls who cheered… thank you very much for making this wonderful day possible. m(_ _m)

Will definitely come again next year!!
(3 guys behind doors are Zepp people imo, not GN staff)

PS. Someone posted Osaka’s Nicolive streaming.. very few videos tho. Faylan’s Honnou no DOUBT (beware nosebleed) and final Nettaiya Girls! Might be removed so quickly watch! I want my Tokyo oneeees!

Scans and rants after the jump.

Misato Aki. here I am

3rd album from Misato Aki.. like her previous two albums, I had a good time enjoying her somewhat, uhm, sexy voice (in an innocent/dreamy way).
Fave tracks: Shoujo Meiro de Tsukamaete (now I miss StoPani), Blood Queen, Sayonara no Mukougawa de. And I kinda like sad rain‘s album ver more, with its piano inserts.

I knew I had a bad feeling when I first saw the cover, but..

..wondering why she agreed to wear a bundle of colorful rags as a skirt?

Sakakibara Yui. Joker

Yui-nyan’s 4th album (and actually, the first that I bought, but I never really listened to her). Album has pretty wide range, but nothing rly outstanding for me. JOKER has nice tunes, but I will slit my wrists if Nana ever does a similar PV like that.
Fave tracks: Believe (original), Ready Go!! (Fate/Tiger Colloseum), Till I can see you again (ChuXChu!)

..with this many fanservice in her booklet, who cares about the lyrics?

Guess the body part?

Guess the body part? Pt. 2

On to the buy-list…

October
Mizuki Nana. Trickster. No-brainer for me.
Kuribayashi Minami. My Otome 0.
Horie Yui. Tora Dora!. I don’t need titles if [w/ DVD, Limited Edition] is written there.

November
Okui Masami. Akasha. Birthday concert footage! I hope only either INSANITY or TOTAL ECLIPSE is included.. otherwise the single is a waste
Okui Masami. Melted Snow.
Chihara Minori. Untitled.

December
Momoi Halko. momo-I quality 2 self-cover AND anison-cover.
Why the heck she always releases 2 things together? Last time it was the super-expensive live DVDs, now the two albums. If she plans to starve the poor (like, me?), she succeeded. >_>
No tracklist yet, but at least the anison-cover is a must-buy. I might not need the self-cover of Under17 songs which all I already have (note-to-self: do not get tempted with poster/sticker).

I’m not going to write a lot (LOL) since there are those who already did much better reviews (and pretty much similar to my opinion), but well, just thought I’d post the poster and rant a bit before I start drooling over Minorin’s Live DVD. On to the track list..

01. TRUST (Kuribayashi Minami)
Couldn’t think of any better song that suits Minami more than TRUST. One of my favorite in this album.

02. Rinbu Revolution (Chihara Minori)
Call me trolling, but I’ve hated this song since I first heard it in Minorin’s radio last week. It’s so bland I couldn’t believe this is my favorite Makkun song. I guess it’s the weird arrangement or my expectation was too high, but I wouldn’t replace Shimokawa Mikuni’s cover in my Ipod for this.

03. Jounetsu (Misato Aki)
I feel alive again hearing this right after Minorin’s Rinbu Revolution. Loved the original, and while Misato took the song differently, I like her version too.

04. INTRODUCTION (Endoh Masaaki)
All hail the rocker, I want zero-G- from him!

05. Olive (Ishida Yoko)
I have to agree that this song sounds very weak. Maybe I should stop comparing, but it’s really a pity since I actually like Ishida’s sweet voice. She should have done something like, er, My Jolly Days?

06. Iiwake (Suara)
Hands down to the best track of this album. I was tempted to download the flac yesterday for this song, but my patience paid off the minute I heard Suara’s pure voice. m(_ _)m

07. Otomegokoro Mugen (Ohmi Tomoe)
It wasn’t bad, but nothing outstanding too.. a bit unlucky heh, positioned between heavenly Iiwake and awesome Koishimasho Nebarimasho.

08. Koishimasho Nebarimasho (Momoi Halko)
Momoi is always awesome in doing cover songs. Her version of Yuzurenai Negai is the best I’ve heard, and Hirano Aya should be ashamed if she ever listened to Momoi’s rendition of God Knows. Following her trend, this track was really good, I even forgot this was a Makkun song. #2 best track after Iiwake.

09. Wasuregusa (Kageyama Hironobu)
A sentimental song that easily became one of my favorite in Masami Life, and while I think Kageyama is a fine singer, I didn’t really like his version of Wasuregusa.. maybe because I’m a bit attached to this song (i.e. looping it too many times) so I can only accept Makkun’s voice.. oh well.

10. HAPPY PLACE (Yonekura Chihiro)
She sounds like Makkun the most from everyone in this album, in a good way, too. And oh, in the end I didn’t buy Ever After, it got too many of her own songs for a cover album.

…and that was quite a lot of ramblings. ^^; Anyway, I wish there were more tracks in this CD.. 3150yen for 10 songs is a bit pricey –heck it was worthy– but extra songs from Mizuki Nana, Hayashibara Megumi, or Shimokawa Mikuni won’t hurt.
