AKB48 - Shoot Sign - Handshake Event 2017.06.25

This event was again at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, just like the events in January 2017. Because of that I wasn't as nervous as I was at some other events. But this would be the first time to meet Suda Akari, one of my all time favourite Idols. Adding to that, I was having tickets to meet Jurina again (for the first time in 6 months).

So when I arrived, I was heading to the SKE48 lanes and waiting for Dasu.

3rd slot

Okay, so as I was standing in line for Dasu, I could see Jurina next to her.. She was wearing a mask and looked really tired. I was instantely worried about her and as much as I wanted to meet her, I wanted her to rest!!
But first, I was meeting Suda and that was amazing:

Suda Akari

Me: Hello, I always wanted to meet you. I love you!
Dasu: Eeeh, thank you! Your Japanese is good
Me: Eeh
Dasu: Where are you from?
Me: From Germany
Dasu: Oh, Wiener right? So delicious
Me: Haha, right
Dasu: And beer is good too
Me: You drank German beer before?
Dasu: Yes! Fruits beer right? Beer with fruits
Me: wow, amazing
Dasu: Yeah right *waves*

Wow, I'm not kidding this was the best first Handshake I ever had. People aren't joking when they say she is the handshake queen. I already love her so much and this made me even happier. Dasu is so funny, cute and I think it's so cool that she likes German Sausages and Beer. XD Best thing ever.. (I had two tickets by the way)

I was still happy with this handshake, when it was announced that Jurina is not going to participate in this event anymore. It was still kind of sad, but I really really wanted to her to get better. I'm always worried about Jurina's health. And good thing is, that I already had tickets for the next single's event for her. But since this was the last event for the Shoot Sign single, staff wasn't sure if I could still use her tickets from this event there.. So I thought I would maybe see some other girls instead, because you can exchange tickets for other (less popular) members. I think that's cool, especially if the girl you have a ticket for is ill.

4th slot

But first of all, I had a really special ticket for some: Mayuyu!

Watanabe Mayu

Me: I love you! I'm sad aout our graduation announcement but I will support you
Mayu: Thank you

Wow, that was the shortest and most boring handshake ever. I mean, I can't blame Mayuyu but she also wasn't too escited and everything just went so fast.. She looked really cute though..

Taniguchi Megu

Me: Congrats on being 45th place in the Election
Magu: Thank you! Long time no see~
Me: Eh, you remember me?
Megu: Yes, you're from Germany right
Me: Yeah, Dankeschön
Megu: Dankeschön, dankeschön

I was sooo happy to meet Megu again! She is the sweetest, and she remembered me *-*

This time I was also not having too much time, but I tried to get Ogiyuka's sign (remember when I got a stamp from the last event that I could still use the sign ticket).
I still had to wait a bit, but not as long as last time. It felt weird because I was the only one with a CD though..

Ogino Yuka

Yuka: Hello (in English)
Me: Hello, thank you!
Yuka: *sees the CD* Ah, thank you for coming today
Me: No, thank you, I'm happy to be able to meet you!
Yuka: Waah, I'm happy. Ronja-chan right
Me: Yes. Congrats on being 5th in the election
Yuka: Thank you~~~~ waaah, I'm so happy
Me: Your Showroom is so funny. And you're so cute
Yuka: Really? Thank you so much! Please come again
Me: I'd like to!
Yuka: Bye bye

Seriously, she is amazing! So funny and open and happy.. She took so much time to talk to me and I guess everyone else was jealous, because they got way less time with her at the normal handshake.. Ogiyuka just started rising and I'm so happy to be able to talk to her and see in person how amazing she is!

5th slot

In this slot I finally had to decide what to do with my Jurina tickets.. So, I decided to use three of them for other members and keep one just in case for the next event.

Futamura Haruka

Me: Hello, I like you so much
Harutamu: Thank you~
Me: I'm sad that you are graduating but good luck to you!
Harutamu: Thank you! Your Japanese is really good
Me: Not yet
Harutamu: Where are you from (English)
Me: Germany
Harutamu: Guten Tag!
Me: Eeeeeeh, wow. Thank you!
Harutamu: Thank you *waves*

I was so happy to see Harutamu, since she just announced her graduation shortly before. She is part of the SKE48 that I really liked around 2014 and I always had a soft spot for her. I thought she would be rising even higher, but I understand her decision to leave the group. She was so so so beautiful, I'm not kidding. She is definitely one of the most beautiful Idols I ever met!

6th slot

Suda Akari

Dasu: Okaeri
Me: Tadaima! Congrats on being 6th in the election
Dasu: Thank you~~~ I want to go to Germany!
Me: Please come, I'll wait for you

Wow, one ticket with her is really not enough to talk about anything.. It was still really nice and she said Okaeri *-*

Kitagawa Ryouha

So I was meeting another foreign SKE fan and I was actually talking to him about how I'm not sure if I should change the tickets. I asked him about Ryoha and he said I should give it a shot, especially if I also mentioned Miyazawa Sae (we talked about her since we both loved her). So I thought to give Ryouha a try:

Uha: Eeeh
Me: Hello, you're cute
Uha: Thank you
Me: I was also a Miyazawa Sae Oshi
Uha: Tebasaki~
Me: Tebasaki~ I support you!
Uha: Thank you~~~

Ryouha was a bit surprised to see a foreigner.. And you could literally see her face lighten up when I mentioned Sae! That was the cutes thing ever. I see how she can be a bit shy otherwise but it was really nice to meet her!

I changed another ticket for a member who I also liked for quite some time (and who was just elected as Next Girls center):

Kato Yuuka

Uuka: Eeeh
Me: Hello, Congrats on being 33rd
Uuka: Thank you (in English)
Me: Ooh English! Thank you
Uuka: Thank you *makes heart pose*

Uuka was really cute, her smile was brighter than the sun. But really, it was so cool to meet her and she was just making heart poses and winking in the end.. so cute!

7th slot

I had one ticket left with Dasu..

Suda Akari

Me: I'm back!
Dasu: Wow, the 3rd time
Me: Yeah, but this will be the last time.. I'm sad
Dasu: So sad :(
Me: I will support you from Germany!
Dasu: Yay. let's do our best! How do you say 'I love you' in German?
Me: Ich liebe dich
Dasu: Eh
Me: Ich liebe dich
Dasu: Ih liiidi?
Me: That's ok, thank you so much
Dasu: I'm gonna learn that. Thank you!

This was quite long for only one ticket, but Dasu was holding my hands really tight.. She didn't want to let got, so staff couldn't push me out until she let go. The conversation was fun and just the whole situation was amazing.. I hope she will remember me, but I don't even know if I will ever meet ehr again.. would be cool though :)

Another really cool day, and since I was tired after that I went home.
