Featuring both days Yells as the closing (with full costume) and encore (with Animelo shirts), all FOUR versions digested into one video!

Notes.

- Notice that some day 1 performers have their “equivalent” in day 2? Standing in the same spot and/or singing the same lines..

..Mizuki Nana = Horie Yui FTW! xD

- Okui Masami = Yonekura Chihiro, kinda expected, heh.

- May’n = akino is good choice too.
- LOL @ Arika = atsuko. Kinda funny since both possess the most distinct voices.

- The duets..

..see how they get along very well.

- Suara and Lia should sing a duet someday.
- Ishikawa Chiaki and Sakura Saori SHOULD NOT SING TOGETHER OMFG MY EARS.

- The craziest team award goes to..

Kurobara Hozonkai and..

..Domestic Love Band!

..because these Trap Projects are just too crazy for my taste.

- Am I the only girl in this planet who thinks JAM Project uncles are way cooler than AAA boys, regardless the fact that they are twice older? xD

- The best you can get for Chiaking in bluray.

- Spot the hot girls!

Hopefully they will include this video as a bonus in both bluray sets.

What we’re missing are:

Day 1.
Ishida Yoko.
Strike Witches – Watashi ni Dekiru Koto

We still get Ishida’s Eien no Hana, but..

Day 2.
Nakamura Eriko, Imai Asami, Takahashi Chiaki, Shimoda Asami from THE IDOLM@STER.
- GO MY WAY!! ～ Kiramekirari ～ relations ～ Agent Yoru wo Yuku ～ Do-Dai ～Aoi Tori ～ GO MY WAY!! (medley)
- THE IDOLM@STER

WTF NAMCO. I support you for kicking TMA’s ass trying to create pr0n out of IM@S, but this is too much..

Curse Columbia Music instead.

Still, we have to be happy with this. Mingosuuuuuu~~ T_T
and I thought I’d be able to check out Chiaking’s real boobs size in bluray..

Sound Horizon.
- Asa to Yoru no Roman
- Dorei Shijou
- Seisen no Iberia (medley)

Not really my thing, and I’m already full of RAEG with the IM@S decision.. but must be a let-down to their fans.

Well, at least there’s still good news: all DVD/BD discs will be released by King Records. Means we’re getting quality!

So here’s some background story: Remember this Animelo 2008 Digest video? I posted the same clip to youtube later on. I don’t really check it after a while, except if I needed to show it to someone.

.. until last week I received a fanmail.

At first me and this girl (from her PMS writing style, I believe I’m not dealing with a trap) exchanged mails normally, just like any fangirls blabbering about our idols. She sounded like a sweet and genuine ALIPRO fan who also respect Nana.

I even went along with her story about Yells: Katakura Mikiya had serious accident at that time and that’s why Arika was upset/cried and only asked for a few lines so she can take care of him (because she believed they are “together”).

Not only there’s no proof at all (on the accident; I don’t want to know ALIPRO’s sex life), I reckoned in Animelo that Katakura didn’t look like he just recovered after getting hit by a truck. Note that I will gladly apologize if this was true.

I may be ignorant, but she looked cheerful enough to me.

Then she apologized about the ruckus her cousin started in my youtube video comments. I was like, what comments?

So I checked the youtube comments.. oh boy, looks like it’s been hit by a shitstorm. All nice posts about Nana are marked spam or at least given many thumbs down, even an insignificant comment like “Nana is so beautiful”. Weirdly enough, “Arika-sama is so cute!” gets many thumbs up. (Both opinions look wrong to me, because Minorin is the beautiful one, heh. Anyway, you get my point.)

Also said was Nana wears skimpy stripper outfit that is harmful to kids who watch Animelo. She’ll be shocked to see how everyone there was basically.. kimo-ota. Not to mention both Nana and Arika often wear similar goth-loli outfit that don’t match their age, like those from Animelo 07.

..is it just me, or they looked like they’re having fun, not bitch-slapping each other?

Tell you the truth, I actually believed it was her sister/cousin that trolled my youtube page. I mean, it’s youtube. You must be a serious loser to create clones there to reply your own posts. But then I know that she actually is the same kid who called j1m0ne a 2-years-old funney poaster few months ago.

I went back to re-read the youtube comments with more attention, and now at least five of them look like clones to me, because:
1. Similar speech patterns and arguments: “OMG Arika-sama is a goddess. Nana is a bitch, wait don’t get me wrong, she’s a cute bitch.”
2. Some flamer accounts have been closed.
3. If you browsed through other Nana/Animelo videos, you can identify the trolls.

So I decided to bluff her that I’m able to check the IP address of whoever marked spam or gave thumbs to the comments, since I’m the mighty video owner. What she replied (in panic?) just got herself busted.

I wonder if the people who were spaming and giving the thumbs down was my childish little sister? She also uses my computer and does dumb things like that. So if it was our IP address on there, then it was her, and I’m sorry.

And she added this, which may be funnier than any KaneTomo blog post I’ve ever read.

I think why my family(the kids in it anyway) are like this is because we were brought up with very strict rules? To tell the truth, I actually am half Hawaiian princess, my great ancestor was King Kamehameha.

..and I’m the Queen of England? I literally LOL’ed so hard in that early morning until my neighbor’s dog barked me to shut up.

Obviously I never replied her since.

PS. If *you* read this, check your Yells lyric book, Nana didn’t get the most part, actually it was May’n. But don’t start calling her mesu buta, ok?

Screenshots (a.k.a hard proofs!):
Emails: Katakura’s accident. It’s my sister/cousin.
Youtube: War start. Long war.

..lol I’m actually being mean. But this is teh intarwebz so sue me.

In Saturday, I arrived in Saitama about 11 am, thinking that was early enough to get all the goods.. but apparently thousands of people were already there. For God’s sake they just opened the booth at 10.30. -_-;;

..and after 1.5 hours of lining up with smelly people, it was finally my turn.. but the Animelo bag set and the wristband was sold out. Tempted to buy Minorin’s fan-light but didn’t. BTW I still have no idea why they didn’t sell S-sized shirts.. M is still VERY big.

Don’t even think about buying goods after the event though.. only shirts and pamphlet left.

Here’s things I managed to get.. I wouldn’t have survived without the towel..
I got encore things too.. both days’ ribbons and the white heart too~~!! <3 <3 Had to fight for that

Notes.
I still think it could have been better to have OUTRIDE in the 1st day instead. Generation-A was a bit empty without JAM Project guys. Kishow and the boybands couldn’t fill in their voices.. And so was OUTRIDE without Nana/Makkun. D:

Those two days was too awesome it even feels more like a dream than reality.. >_< Now it’s time to pray for a BluRay release..

Finally home. It was hard to go online since I stayed in a small but nice (and really cheap) ryokan.. anyway.

I started out late in Day-2, arriving at about 3pm, since I’ve got the goods and to be honest my whole body hurt. I didn’t think I could jump anymore, at least not as crazy as Day-1.. but well, I was wrong.

- JAM Project opened the concert, I was ready to scream my all for Makkun but.. that wasn’t her on stage, it was Misato Aki.
Turned out Makkun got sick and couldn’t join the 2nd day. There’s a long post in her blog apologizing and explaining her condition.. it was unbelievable she could perform very well the day before.. get well soon, Makkun!

- I love Misato Aki. But someone else loves her more, he shouted “daisuki da yo!!” really loud that quite a bunch applauded him.
- ELISA sang really well, but just like Suara, she didn’t “perform” much on stage.
- DLB was really funny.. too bad no Asu e no Brilliant Road.

- Hocchan is the epitome of cuteness. CUTE. CUTE. CUTE.

- Momoi Halko performs awesomely.. but what’s more awesome than her? My fave performance of the day: UNDER17 (yes, megane-momoi!) duet with MOSAIC.WAV!! Any moe-pop lovers should go crazy for that! xD
- Lots of high-pitched moe voices, esp Sakura Saori, miko..

- IM@S sang medley of the favorite songs! <3<3<3
Chiaking didn’t use Azusa’s voice though.. but damn she’s hot.

- Aya was way better than Gekisou or last year’s Animelo. I actually enjoyed Love Gun live. And I saw her pantsu so many times..

- May’n was Sheryl Nome that night. She’s not as chubby as what Yells PV shown us, nice legs.
- PSYCHIC LOVER should do more ballad.

- Uninstall.. Uninstall.. was holy.
- Chihi sang nicely, but I wished she would rock the stage instead.

- Now the big guys.. JAM Project really did rocked the super arena. I literally felt the heat.. with everyone flying for SKILL, it was like a sauna. Loved “OKUI” tattoo in Kageyama’s arms. No Border was weird without her, tho..

- This time I sat in left-side of the platform.. close enough to get Hocchan (!!), atsuko/KATSU, Aa, Mingosu smiled and waved back to me. JAM Project guys & Yoffy too. But the winner was Chiaking and her flying kisses.. *dies* Too bad I missed Momoi and Misato Aki. T_T

I’ve translated most of Animelo set-list.. will get it done tomorrow. And maybe some pics..

Highlights of the day:
- Ultimate duet, Nana + Yukarin opened the live with overly cute Koiseyo Onnanoko and Mamimume Mogacho. Their hardcore fans (and me) went crazy. Yukarin’s one especially.
- Ishida Yoko’s Strike Witches OP stuck in my head now.
- yozuca* was great. And she did a trio with Minorin and Aa~
- Minorin sang a lot. Rinbu-revolution duet with Okui.. way better than the tribute CD.
- Best singer was Suara. Beautiful voice.
- Minami sang all the songs I wanted. Love Jump <3
- Nana was AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME. Dancing in the velvet moon live was.. *nosebleeds*
- ALIPRO’s Arika did fulfil her last year’s promise, duet with a Nana song, ETERNAL BLAZE..

More details sometime later.. I’ve never been this tired, being overly excited somehow gave enough stamina to jump and scream for 4 hours~ a Japanese guy next to me didn’t believe me when I told him this was my first real concert~ xD need lotsa sleep for tomorrow’s Momoi and Hocchan~
