Alice in Museum; Saga-Sensei

 

     So, for my next report, I'll cover Saga's event. 

If I can be honest, it was definitely a informative and interesting event, out of most. Nao's event was great, and it was similar to a mini-live, than a seminar. Tora's....I'll get to Tora later. 

Saga's event started on time, and with Saga talking about himself and his experience in Asia, mostly China. Talked about the food in China, and how hard it was for him to eat. He was very good at explaining the hot pot they tried when they were in Beijing. (Pardon me, if I made a mistake with this)

He talked about how he ate a lot of food at the hotel, and ate the food that Japanese fans brought for him, in his hotel room. Poor Saga. I got this feeling that Saga is not someone who is that open to trying new foods, or foods he's not familiar with. I won't say he's picky, since he did eat out of an ash tray once, and he tried bee larva. However, China made him nervous, and I can tell by the food he ate. Instant ramen, and McD's. 

So, after that, Saga was left alone, after talking to the announcer. He sat on a stool, and looked out towards us. I would say 70-80 fans showed up. A little more than Nao's event, and less than I expected. 

So, he was sitting and staring at us, how a teacher is left to lecture a class, and he just jumped right into it. He pointed out all his bass guitars, which are ESP brand. Three on his left and three on his right. He pointed out his main guitar, which has the worn down sticker. He explained why the sticker looks like that, and it was from the years of playing and rubbing his arm on it. Later, a fan asked him this through the forms that we could have filled out, and he mentioned it was just from the years of playing. 

He talked about his main guitar the most, and said that he uses it for most songs, while the white bass guitar he has, is mostly used for softer songs and ballads. He has two red, and one white bass guitar, the second red guitar, without the sticker, he called it his substitute guitar.

He did talk about the guitars to his right, our left, that those were only used incase of major problems that happen. 

I can't rewrite all that he talked about, because my memory isn't that great. Though, I felt like I should have taken notes, because I felt like I was taking a music class with him and all Saga fans. xD

He started off talking about how he got into playing the bass. He mentioned he knew nothing about the bass. "Seriously, I don't know!" And rubbed the fret and neck of his guitar randomly, and he mentioned that. He would just play random chords and notes to make sound. He was not really into it, until years later, and I would say about 10 years ago.(I can be wrong that he may have said that)

He talked about how and why he has his guitar rested at a certain length, and how long he has his strap. And he showed the two different examples of both extremes. He shoved his guitar up to his chest, and everyone giggled at how awkward it was, and he simply just said it wasn't cool to him. He did say it was simple to play, but he doesn't like it.

He also had his guitar down past his knees and said he liked this the most, but he can't perform with it that low. So what he does is he measures the length with one inch of his forearm, and rests the body against that, allowing his wrist to strum and pick at the strings freely. 

He went over the strings and chords, and this is where I felt like I was in music class, talked about D major, and B, and explained with examples, with playing a few songs. But he ended up forgetting a song that uses B, and he sat there staring at the ceiling trying to remember, which left us all silent, and him just saying, 

"Crap! I forgot." And he said, "Well, let's move on." And he moved onto his next topic. 

He went over chords and different songs that used those chords. He played Kaisen Zenya, and talked about the bassline and he played the into of The Gazette's song Agony, to also use as a example to his point and topic of basslines. 

He did talk about a lot of detail topics and he was really good about keeping a flow onto the next topic. Like, he went from fingering, to picking and using his fingers to pick. He was really good at this. I could tell he was prepared to talk about himself, his bass, and what he does. 

There was a corner section after he talked about all that he wanted to say, and he started answering some fans question. 

One fan asked him to make his favourite pose, or a pose he thinks his cool, and please explain why. 

"BAKA!" Everyone laughed, but he got up and he made a random pose, having his left arm in front of his face, and legs spread apart. He said that would be cool to do it for the Shooting Star PV, and that all the girls would fall in love with him over it. xD He even did a voice of a female fan who was fawning over "Saga-Sama", and he just does what he can to look cool in the music videos. 

One fan asked him, out of Alice Nine's songs, which is his favourite bassline, and which bassline does he hate or is hard for him. 

He couldn't think of any that he liked, and that he doesn't like difficult songs, but he did end up saying he like RAINBOWS bassline, and said it was simple for him.  (I love the bassline of Rainbows so I squeaked on the inside and was happy he said that)

"You know, because I'm an idiot(I can't remember difficult songs)"

I liked this question.

"How do you practice and how often do you practice and what is your method?" 

He stood there and said, "Practicing is boring, and I usually don't want to practice." Which I totally relate with. "But I hold my bass guitar when I'm watching TV," and he explained that it helps him keep his fingers familiar with fingering and he was will just finger and just do that for while. 

He got a lot of really good questions from fans, but I can't remember them all. 

He was asked what he calls his guitars. Ex. Wife or love?

He said he doesn't call them his wife, but "Tomodachi", and he numbered them off.

"Friend number one, and two..." That got us laughing as well. 

He went on talking about tuning, and he pointed out that his guitar has a lever on the back that he can pull on, and he usually thinks retuning is a pain in the ass, so he just keeps the lever at a certain position. And he will freak out if he sees that he pulled on the lever on accident or he sees it came down from its position. He will just get anxious during the live and think, "what should I do, what should I do!?" but he does do most of his tuning on his own. Because the guy that is supposed to help Saga, ends up helping Tora the most.

But he did give the main message that it's all part of the job, and that he makes mistakes, and he's not perfect. He didn't say that, but that's the vibe I got from him. He was just explaining that he's not really professional. I got a positive message from this lecture. 

And as soon as he was told that his time was up he stood on stage looked at us and said, 

"And that's it!" 

Again, as much I'm not interested in bass guitars, I did walk away inspired to keep trying and keep practicing the guitar. Because Saga made it come off that he still doesn't know what he's doing, and that's part of his job. He's the idiot but genius of this band, and he made all of us comfortable and explained to us using easy to understand language, along with showing us examples. 

He played two songs. 

Shining and Kaisen Zenya

If Saga did another lecture on music, I would go in a heart beat. 

And not to mention he's a very entertaining teacher, AND you walk away with actually learning something. 

This is why I call him Saga-Sensei. ^^b 

And I think I'll call him that from now on. 

If you have any other questions, please comment below.

Alice in Museum: Nao x VOCALOID

 So, let me just remind you again, I am Nao biased, and for me, this was the main event I wanted to see. I apologise if I go off talking about something that isn't entirely related the the event, but it will be related to Nao.

Okay, on with it then.

I was not prepared at all for this. I brought my heels, incase I ended up far away and I couldn't see, but with my number, (as you can see) I got pretty damn close. Which means I couldn't hear for a good couple of hours. It also means Nao isn't the most popular member in the group, but I am okay with this. Out of all the events, Nao's event had a nice comfortable group of fans. It was big enough that he wasn't talking to all of us, but small enough that most people could see.

So, we lined up at 12, and were let in my small groups. Again, not many people showed up, witch is good for Nao fans, and a little sad I guess for Nao.
I was able to stand behind to girls who were right in front of his bass drum.
How it  was set up was that Nao's drum set was in the middle of the room. So no one sitting, and Nao was going to be in the middle of us. I don't know how many people were there, I would say possibly 50-60 fans were there for Nao. But I feel like I'm being generous hehe
There was the same guy who introduced the members and also informed us on what will be happen during the event. Many times, he warned us that it will get loud, and that we should step back a little. I was like, "Meh, whatever, I can't hear anyways." hahaha mistake

So, it started late.
It wouldn't be a Nao event if it started on time, so we were all aware of this.
He was announced, and he came out wearing the costume you all saw yesterday. He was coplaying a Vocaloid character, that I don't know because I don't pay attention to Volcaloid characters. I know Gackt has one, but that is it. Nao's costume was XL and it still pretty small, and Nao looks super skinny already. So, to me I'm surprised.

So, he came out, got up on a small platform and scream hello to everyone.
"KONNICHWA!" And we all clapped and cheered for him, saying hello back. He picked up the mic and introduced himself and the event. Started talking about what he was going to do, was two covers for vocaloid songs, and a couple of Alice Nine songs.

Vocaloid Song cover (Sorry, I didn't catch the name)
GEMINI FULL VERSION
開戦前夜
Thousand Cherry Blossoms by Hatsune Miku (Nao's version, as he said it himself xD)

So, after explaining what was going to happen, Nao put the mic down, and put his ear pieces in. Buuuuut, there was a problem, and sadly the staff had to help him fix it.
He was like, "what?" and so the staff had to get him a different chord for something to connect with the computers. While he was waiting for that, he picked up the mic again, and said, "Question time!" Shoved the mic into a girls face, and said, "GO!"

Poor girl was taken back and left shaking her head no, that she didn't want to. But he was pretty persistent.
"What's your name?" He asked, and she said her name, and finally made up a question about his drum set. He was happy about it, and went on explaining.

"This is my maple drum set, and it is the first one I got a while ago. The drums are made of maple." He went on explaining the technical parts of it.
"This one is older, and my other drum set is else where. But next year, I'm thinking of getting a new drum set." We all went "Eeee?" in shock, and he started laughing, and nodded his head. "I'm still thinking about it though."

The staff came back and he was able to start drumming.
Before he did, he looked at the girls in front of me and pointed out the big cymbals, and told us "these are loud, so please be careful." They, and myself, nodded our heads in agreement and he went on.

He was so cool. I was in heaven. I couldn't believe I was standing so close and watching him drum. I didn't know what to do with myself. I stood as still as I could, but after seeing a few fans moving their heads to the music, so did I.
Just the way he was drumming, and how much he was concentrating made him look so much cooler. Even with the fact he was cosplaying as a character, he was so cool. There was one male fan there too, and he was also just as excited and impressed with Nao.

As cute and happy looking, Nao be in PVs and photo shoots, and every where else, he is just so amazing. The concentration, and the way he moved. So fluid and well rehearsed. I want to say he really knows the ins and outs of his drum set, and his style. He knows what he's doing. Which makes him even more professional. But I was looking at his face, because I'm creepy, and he did look angry. But I do that too when I'm concentrating on something, or trying to focus on listening to someone. It's not that I'm mad, I'm just focused on what is happening. And for me, I understood what he meant by that, when he told us. "I may look angry when I'm drumming, but I'm not mad." It's hard to explain or even reassure people when I tell them that, but yeah. I get it. It's just how our face muscles react and tense up.

So, Gemini.
Dear god, I love this man. I want to hug him, he made my day. The full three songs of GEMINI!!!
You have no idea how much I wanted to hear it live, and when it was shortened at the All Girl's Live, I felt like it was them just cheating.
And I think Nao was also trying to make a point. Because at the All Girls Live, Shou asked Nao, "Do you remember this song?" (Like can you play it?) and Nao did look a little insulted that Shou asked that, because he nodded his head and said "yeah!" (like of course I do!)

So, this was him proving it, and he proved it well. He not only played it, he sang Shou's high solo part too. Again, this man is just love and awesomeness in one cute Japanese man package. We were all impressed, but he didn't stop. After Gemini he went straight into Kaisen Zenya, and rocked that out too. We were all bobbing our heads and just watching him sweat and pound on the drums and rock out.
This is one of the many things I love about this man. He is so cool, and I just died watching him play. I can't say too much, or I'll get into trouble with other Nao fans hahaha ^.~
But yes, we were all cheering and applauding his skills and that fact he went non stop on these 4 songs.

"It's hot!" and he started wiping his face with his hand towel and he was panting and tired. But he did go. You go man! You did good!
Then it was time for questions.
"Any one have questions?" One girl rose her hand and screamed yes.
"Yes? Okay, You!"

"What's your favourite food?" We all started laughing, and Nao started laughing too. Like out of all the questions, it's almost like the colour question xD

"I like eating vegetables, and I went on a vegetable diet, recently." We all went "eeeeeh?" and he nodded his head and laughed.

There were a few fans that asked about his drum sets and his style of drumming, so he was excited about this questions. The one male fan wanted to ask a question, and he tried getting Nao's attention, but Nao didn't hear him. I felt a little sad for him. Because, being the only red headed white girl there, I could have easily grabbed Nao's attention, because he did glance at me, probably wondering if I was going to ask a question. I don't know xD But he did his best to look around for more people with questions.
He did explain why he has his drums set up in a certain way, why it goes from his snare, then small to big. He does that because it's easy for him to move quickly and not have to memorise where his drums are, when it's a straight swift move.
He also covered tapping on his snare drum, along with beats and other drum related styles of drumming. (Sorry, I didn't catch all of this)

After questions, the lights went down, and the Birthday song started playing. A staff member came out holding a cake, and Nao was like, "What? What's going on?"
Looking over seeing the staff member, he started giggling. And we all sang happy birthday to Nao. The candles weren't lit.
"I'm going to eat this backstage by myself!" Everyone started laughing, and cheering. It was a chocolate cake, if you haven't seen the photo of it.

After the Birthday song he did the last song which was Hatsune Miku's Thousand cherry blossoms song, and he commented that he worked hard on this song, turning it into Nao's version.
After he played the last song, he was over his time and needed to end the event, so we can all get ready for Saga's event.
Nao got up on his stool and screamed into the mic, "Thank You!" but he lost his footing, he fell backwards off his seat and landing butt first on the ground, and everyone started screaming, and I couldn't stop laughing. He looked around as everyone was asking him if he was okay, and he grabbed his ankle, and screamed.

"IT HURTS! IT HURTS!"We knew he was okay because he was also laughing, but he looked as shocked as we all did. He definitely looked surprised, and had this look of, "What just happened?", on his face He got himself up from the ground, he walked and got himself up on a solid non-movable stand, and screamed thank you once more.

"ARIGATOUGOZAIMASU!"

We clapped and cheered as he waved at us, and we all waved back. Watching him walk backstage, and we made sure he was okay.

The poor guy, he did a great show though, and he was seriously the high-light of the day.
My love for Nao has been restored for many reasons, and I'll explain why in my report for the Cho Alice9 Channel.
But, Nao just made me so happy. As soon as he walked in, my fears and nerves were gone, and I was so excited to see him.

So, after Nao's event, most fans ran up to the Museum. I got a spot near his side of the large poster, and waited for him. It was a good while, (because I suck at keeping time) before he got up to the museum. 

He walked in, and I was just speechless. I didn't know what to do, I wanted to say his name, but I was just so excited to see him again. A girl called out to him, and waved, and he waved back. I took this chance to wave, and he looked up and saw me and waved back.  *cue the fangirl squeals*

He walked around, and took notice all the displays and event went up to the music racks, and surprised a few fans there. I didn't see it, but I can guess he took a pair of headphones and pretended to rock out the songs.

His last stop was the poster. He went up and was handed a pen. Both staff of Alice Nine and Tower Records wanted to getting pics for their twitter feed. 

However, Nao took a long time figuring out where to put his signature, and started moving his body up and down for a couple of long seconds and just humming out. 

"Uggggggghhhh, here?" The staff was like, anywhere is fine. So he signed on the black, so you can't see it. xD

And then the staff told him he had to date it. 

"It's 2014,....it's the 3rd, right?" 

Staff: "Yeah,"

"And it's August, right?" Nao, you must have a phone or something. He was just being funny. And after each signing, his scarf would fall, and he would dramatically, flip his scarf back, like he was important and what not. It was funny the way he flipped it back, because it was thin and floated back more than flipped. 

He got in front of his face, and posed twice. After the photos were done being taken, he told us to enjoy the museum. More like screamed it. We all cheered and clapped at this, and he started walking out. And that was it. 

I hope he has another event, just him and his fans. I'll be there in a heart beat. 

my next report will be on, Saga-Sensei.

Alice in Museum Event: Hiroto X Velvet Lounge

So!
Let's get started about the Alice in Museum events, 2014, for their 10th Anniversary.

Let me start with when Shou came up to visit the museum first.

I got to the Museum early for many reasons. One, free AC.  Two, I had a problem I needed to talk to the staff about. While I was waiting in the Museum I was standing against the wall and playing with my phone, when a group of girls screamed out, "Shou-kun!?"
This got me, and everyone around to look up and see Shou walking up to a table full of tour Tees, and he smiled at them and put his hand up in prayer, and in away saying, "pardon me, I'm just looking."
This made a lot of fans scream and flock to him, like lost puppies, and following him around while, he was looking at posters and all the displayed items.
I didn't follow him around, because I wasn't too interested, and I doubt I would have been able to see him very well anyway. I actually started laughing at how stupid the fans were being. So, Shou and his event guest, who was a very well known photographer, were talking and looking at all the posters and fliers. At the end of his visit, he went up the large poster, that was in the entrance of the Museum and signed it. (You all saw the photo's on twitter, and else where)  And everyone clapped and said bye to Shou, and he waved bye and walked out through a secret passage. Which was the Tower Records employees only entrance.

Now, onto Hiroto's event.
Not gonna lie. It was great. It was funny. We all pretty much giggled through out the event. Not because Velvet lounge accessories are funny, but the owner and creator was making fun of Hiroto.

Hiroto connected his computer up to this large screen in the middle of the stage, so we could see what he wanted to show us. As he talked to us, and introduced himself, he mentioned that it had been awhile since he had done another fan event, like the single members event.

"Tadaima!" and everyone shyly responded with, "welcome back!" which made him laugh at how slow and responsive we were to him. And then he called out his guest, who I caught him name as Yuki(?) if anyone knows, please write a comment below.

So, Yuki, the guy who co-owns and creates a lot of the Nine Lable items, came out and greeted us and Hiroto. Hiroto eventually asked him why he was wearing sunglasses, because Hiroto was only wearing his trendy and fashionable black clothes and hat. In which Yuki said,

"Yeah! Well, I can't be like you with your trendy hat and make up, so I wear the sunglasses." Which Hiroto smiled sheepishly. "You weren't wearing make up earlier, and then when it came for you to do your event, you got all dressed up(what's up with that?)."

I'm sure Hiroto had an explanation for it, which I am sorry to say, I forget what he said. But they moved on to talk about the items, because all the events were one hour long. However, Hiroto being Hiroto and loves talking, went on talking about stuff, and it was Yuki who kept reminding him, "Yo, Hiroto, we don't have time. We only have an hour."
But they started off talking about how Hiroto found Velvet lounge, which Aki(SID) introduced the brand to Hiroto.

Yuki's only comments were that Hiroto does buy a lot of stuff from them, and Hiroto loses all of their stuff at lives. Or breaks them. Which made us laugh. Hiroto laughed too, and all the girls screamed out, "Cute!" Hiroto, however, still has the first ring he ever bought from them, which was around $200. And he really takes care of that ring, but he did mention at lives, he will get really pumped up and point his hand out to the crowd, and as he does that, his rings will go flying off into the crowd. Leaving Hiroto feeling guilty and shocked, but laughing all the same.

The first item was "Feeling", and Hiroto and Yuki started talking about. Yuki went into talking about this item, which was nice, and refreshing to hear his opinion. Hiroto wanted him to talk more about it as well. Yuki said that it was fairly difficult because of the way that it functioned.
The silk ribbon and the snake heart pendent, and how it was all meant to have meaning symbolism.
After talking about the ribbons colour, and how they are meant to give off the band's image, Hiroto got up and wanted to go into detail about the snakes head. However, I was lost as to why he wanted to talk about the snakes head, I didn't know how it was going to tie into what Yuki was talking about, and I'm sure Yuki also didn't get where Hiroto was going. I'm sure Yuki knows Hiroto more, and sensed him getting distracted by details.

"Hiroto! We only have an hour!" Hiroto looked at Yuki, and ran back to his computer, from the large TV display, and clicked on the next item. Everyone started laughing and calling Hiroto cute. Hiroto was smiling too, I am guessing he was a little embarrassed that he was going off on tangents. Poor Hiroto, and this goes on for the whole event.

The next item of discussion was "Shooting Star", the ring that was released last year.
I don't know why, but they didn't go into too much detail on this item. Meaning they didn't talk too much about it. Hiroto did talk about it, and how much he did want to make a ring like it.
Yuki madea quick wit comment. haha this man earns my respect.

"You are all about the trends and fashion, Hiroto. This ring proved it to me that you only care about fashion." (that was paraphrased) In meaning, Hiroto wanted to make a cute and trendy ring, that was the reason why it was made. Hiroto and Yuki commented on Shou's hand model-ing, which Yuki made the comment.

"Shou's grinning and proud of this. I saw him back stage and he was grinning a lot over his use in the Velvet lounge advertisement." Hiroto and everyone started laughing. So, Yuki wasn't out to make Hiroto look bad, but targeted Shou too. Then we moved onto the 10th Anniversary items.

The started with the gem bracelets, which I personally love the blue stones and design. It looks like something I would wear. Yuki made comments about the different stones and detailed designs. The stars and other piece. (I didn't catch what he called the other design. Circle, maybe?)
"All these items main shape is stars." Hiroto smiled and nodded his head. Yuki said he didn't really mind it, but it was a lot of stars in all of the items.

Hiroto got from his computer again and pointed to the blue gem bracelet, made from turquoise, and pointed to the black on some of the random pieces and looked at us on amazement.

"Look at how detail Yuki was, and how pretty it is." He was talking about the black patterns, and Yuki starts laughing.

"Hiroto, it's turquoise. That's what it does. I didn't make that." Everyone started laughing as Hiroto went back to his computer. I don't want to think Hiroto is stupid, he isn't. But I think he was just too excited and happy to being talking about his own personal designs and items that he may have forgotten. But let me remind you, Hiroto is the only person I know that also doesn't know Harry Potter. So it's possible that he just simply didn't know.

All the girls started crying out, "CUTE CUTE!" Which Yuki looked out to the crowd and started laughing.

"He's cute isn't he? He's very cute." And started calling Hiroto cute as well. Hiroto stood at his computer and just laughed it off, looking at little focused on clicking on the next image with was the star bracelet. This was more interesting than the gem one, because Yuki was also interested in it. So, he said, "Once again we have the stars as the main design." Which he he said with the feeling of like, as typical of Hiroto to design stars.
Hiroto was proud of all of these items, the  bracelet and the rings, plus the necklaces.

Yuki talked about the red Star on the bracelet and asked Hiroto why it was red. And at one point it was pink, but Hiroto didn't like it, and turned it red. And Yuki pointed out something that I didn't notice which was that it's adjustable, and you can make the bracelet fit your wrist. Which I, along with everyone else, was happy to learn about. I think it's a cool feature to add, since I know not everyone is the same size.

The next item was the "Shinning" necklace, which is the cross pendent and moon with stars. Hiroto does love crosses and moon with stars. And Yuki said this was the most detailed and the diamond in the middle was another detail that he thought added to the piece.

Someone mentioned that when the items were shown to all the members of Alice Nine, Tora couldn't see the stars that are aligned on the sides of the cross. Since it was too narrow and Tora is blind. But, Tora picked it up and thought, cool. This the stars pointed out to him, and Hiroto and everyone was shocked that he couldn't see it. But it shows how small the details are.

They didn't talk about the rings, because it's the same design as the bracelet. Yuki wanted to talk about the Time Machine necklace. I got the hint that Hiroto was very proud and happy with the Shinning necklace, and Yuki was proud of the Time Machine necklace.
Yuki explained that it was to represent the 10 years of Alice Nine and made the clock highlight the 10, and shaped into the moon. And it was also arranged to show 11 and 12, meaning the time will keep going. And Yuki was proud. He had to work on it, and I'm proud from him too.
He said it was the hardest piece he had worked on because of the clock, but he likes it because of how it all ties together for Alice Nine.
I don't know if I didn't catch it, or that maybe  Hiroto wasn't too interested in, but he was just not too into talk about it as much as Yuki was. Don't get me wrong, Hiroto was talking about it, and how it does celebrate Alice Nine's 10 years.

Then, we got on the topic of Shou modeling these items, and how little clothes he was wearing, and the poses he was making. Yuki called them "erotic" and almost pornographic. He said that Hiroto was there during the photoshoot, standing behind the camera man, saying, "good, good!" "That's good Shou, keeping going." Which, in Japanese can also be said during sex. So, Yuki started joking that Hiroto was groaning them out to Shou, and he kept doing it through out the photoshoot.
Hiroto tried explaining himself, but realised he was in trouble.
So, he rolled with it, and he started groaning them out into the mic, I was close to blushing and falling out of my chair. I was laughing and just it was too much for me.
And apparently, Hiroto was saying those things to Shou, and Shou finally looked at Hiroto, and asked him to stop. Everyone was laughing it was too much.

They went back to talking about the necklaces, and finished it up with how they really enjoyed working on them, and then it was Question corner time.
I am sorry to say, but this part I forget most of the questions.

But the question about Shou's posing came up again, and everyone noticed and knew how strange it was for Shou to be shirtless and posing in such ways, for just wearing accessories. Hiroto knew it, Yuki knew it, and they realised the fans noticed too. So, it was talked about for a little bit more.

Finally, after Yuki left the stage, and we all said thank you, Hiroto was left to leave us with announcements for the Anniversary live, and the Museum.
He said that there were some songs on display that you can listen to, but there were only 4, two were SEVEN, twice. So he asked us what we wanted to listen to.
One fan screamed out Yami ni Chiru Sakura. Which got everyone to start laughing.
And he asked for more requests, and I got the courage to ask for Time Machine. And he fucking heard me. I was thinking he wouldn't but after we quieted down, he looked at all of us, and he was like "Time Machine? You guys really want to hear those songs? Then we will work on it." And left us with that.

 

It was over all a good talk, and fairly interesting and entertaining.
