Nogizaka46 Handshake Event at Makuhari Messe 2017.01.22

And I'm back with another handshake report from Makuhari Messe today. This time it's just a really short wrap-up, since I only met one Nogizaka46 member. Butcoming back to the place, it felt really nice. I think I'm getting used to going to events, haha.

So, what I noticed this time, the place inside was smaller.. which makes sense, because there are less members and stuff. But on the other hand, there were still soooo freaking many fans. o.o
The security check was first and then you had to show your ticket a bit later. Which means everyone can enter the hall. Next to the main event was also a goods stand and some Birthday event people. Sooo.. after entering I had to line up again, show my ticket and then find my lane.

WAKATSUKIIII was number 8. Yes, I won a Waka-sama handshake ticket. I actually applied for Naachan too, but didn't win any. Since this was actually the first time I ordered a handshake ticket, I just stayed with with the one ticket. Should have taken more maybe, but yeah. I really like Wakatsuki though!
So I lined up for her. It was packed, but not thaaaat much. Other lines were more packed *cough* Nanase and co. I was there almost exactly at 10 when the slot started, Wakatsuki was early and everything went quite fast. Guess who was standing next to Wakatsuki? Of course it was Reika!! I could clearly see her and she looks SO BEAUTIFUL. Well, actually for members that are not next to the Idol you are meeting, it's actually not possible to see them because of walls in front of them. I could see Kazumin on the other side, but that's it.. That's one big difference to AKB48 handshake event, though it was also hard to see more Idols there, haha.
So, when it was finally my turn, I noticed that she had a mask. I was prepared for almost everything, but that shocked me a bit. It's the first time meeting an Idol with a mask, which then means she is not feeling that well. Well, kudos for her that she still came, though she should rest if it's to bad.

Me: Good Morning, I love you!
Waka: Oh, thank you.
Me: Are you ok?
Waka: Yeah, I'm sorry for making you feel worried.
Me: It's ok.
Waka: Please come again.
Me: I will

So that one was so short.. I didn't even realize I was meeting her, haha. No I noticed her eyes and since I love her eyes that was nice. They are so beautiful.
Since I worried for her, I wanted her to know that we fans care for her. But she kinda turned it around a bit and apologized for not feeling well. WHICH SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO. But she was still so sweet and I'm happy she at least said more then just yes and thank you. And she told me to come again, which I really want to!!
I'm not disappointed,, I do feel sorry for her. It was still nice to finally see her because I do love her a lot!! And Nogizaka events are also interesting. I noticed that thousands of people were lining up for the goods, hahaha.

I was done at 10:30, so I walked around Makuhari for a few hours. Tokyo Bay is close, so I took a look and there was a Marathon, which was also interesting to see! There was also a little Japanese garden called which only costed 100 Yen, so I went there and it was beautiful.

So all in all I had a quite relaxing day with only one handshake and a bit of walking around.
It's really nice to meet a member you love and I hope I can meet Nanase once on my lifetime, too.
I really hope Waka-sama gets well soon though!!
And I have to get better at talking, hahaha

AKB48 Handshake Event at Makuhari Messe 2017.01.08

Second day of handshake Event has started.

For this day I had to get up even earlier. I had to be there for the 1st slot, so I woke up at 6 and arrived at 8:50 at Makuhari Messe. There were more people than the day before, probably because of the time. Luckily, there were some lines for only women, so I was also quite fast through the Security check. especially now that I know how everything works. My first member was Sasshi and I found her lane fast and arrived almost exactly at 9 o'clock, which was the start of Slot 1. There were actually not thaaat many people and once again I didn't win any sign. :( Sasshi was late almost 20 minutes!!! In the mean time I watched other members. Guess who was next to her? Holy Sakura xD But she looked a bit different to me? Maybe she was tried or not feeling well, I don't know. I think she looked at me once though ;) I could see Maria coming into the hall and she is really small. On the other side next to Sasshi was Hana and she looked so beautiful. I could also see cutie Mio!
When Sasshi finally came, it went really fast.

Sasshi: Ara (Oh)
Me: Happy New Year, ganbatte ne!
Sasshi: You are really good.
Me: Eh.. Thank you
*time*
Sasshi: Thank you
Me: You're cute

So this was the fastest I had until now. 5 seconds maybe? I was really fast with the Happy New Year and she complimented my Japanese xD Her "ara" in the beginning was really funny, but except for that it was simply too little time. And she didn't hold my hands too tightly, so I got pushed away really easily. Should have mentioned Momusu, that would have been funnier xD But she looked really beautiful, I still don't get why they call her ugly. Since she was late, I had a bit less time left, but I was still early for Jurina's lane.
Dasu and Rara looked cute again and I waited for Jurina. She wrote on Twitter, that she wanted us to talk, because she didn't feel too well, so I prepared to talk about Nagoya. xD

Me: You look cute today, too!
Jurina: Oh, you are from Yesterday.
Me: Oh, yeah. I went to Nagoya recently
Jurina: Oh really?
Me: Yes, it was really good.
Jurina: eeeeh
*time*
Me: SKE is the best!

So now that I wanted to talk, she started again xD she recognized me from the day before!! *-* that's great and I think she was happy that I went to Nagoya.

After that I had a lot of time again. So, I waited. I actually didn't go earlier to Jurina's line this time. I arrived at 12 and there was a really long line xD But still, it went quite fast but I didn't win a sign. I gave up hope hahaha. In line I saw a girl behind me who was really excited when she could see Jurina. So cute. When there was only one person left in front of me, Jurina went to the disabled line. Since it was next to hers, I could look at her the whole time. She's so beautiful!!
And she was smiling at me, aaah

Me: Yeay, Thank you for remembering me!!
Jurina: Of course I remember you. What's your Name?
Me: It's Ronja, Ronja!
Jurina: Ronja! That's cute
Me: Thank you

SHE ASKED FOR MY NAME. Wow. I was hoping for this, but didn't expect it though. Best handshake!! I don't know how she could top this, haha.

4th slot hima, so I ate, watched the screen and walked around..

Then it was the last time to see Jurina. I felt kind of sad and didn't want to go..

Me: Hey, this is my last. Thank you so much!!
Jurina: Oh no, I feel lonely *pouts*
Me: But I want to meet you again!
Jurina: Thank you!! *smile*
Time
Me: Oh and congratulations for your Coming of Age
Jurina: It's tomorrow, ne. Bye byeee

I said everything that I wanted to say for once, hahaha. She even looked a bit sad.. I knew it was still early, but I wanted to gratulate her for the Coming of Age day tomorrow, because I already so a lot of people in Kimonos and stuff. But yeah, this was the saddest one.. *cries*

So I only had a last one left and that was Megu. I like her a lot, but I don't know her that well yet, so I was thinking about what to say to her. I went to her lane earlier and saw way too many people. Her lane 31 was Yuiri's lane in the slot before and there were hundreds of people still waiting for her.. wow. Sooo, I had to wait a lot and 20 minutes after the slot should have started, the lane was moved to number 45, I was lucky that I had only one member, because in total I had to wait almost 1 hour xD But it was worth it:

Me: Hello and happy new year. Love yuuu
Megu: Eh, wow!! Thank you.. Where are you.. (from?)
Me: I'm from Germany!
Megu: Germany!!! Please come again :)

WOW, she was super cute. Okay if you didn't know Megu, please check her out. I don't think she had that many foreign fans before yet, because she did seem surprised. Okay everyone seemed surprised (except for Jurina, she was chill) but Megu looked really let's say interested? Like such an honest look of happy surprise. When she was asking where I'm from, it wasn't a normal question. She started to ask and then made a pause and I just answered, haha. It felt a bit like we know each other, which may sound a bit weird, but it was so much fun. And I liked how she told me to come again! She's the cutest!!

After that, it was already later than I thought, so I went outside. There were some birthday teams where you could write messages to members who have their birthdays soon. Since Jurina's is also in 2 months, I wrote a message for her. The birthday team also looked at me really curious but I was so shy and almost dead, so I didn't really talk to them. Some Ooya birthday team girls tried to talk to me in Neglish though, and Kaotan's team also smiled and nodded at me. That was kind of funny xD

I wanted to check out the place out a bit more afterwards, but it was raining a lot, so I just went home.
Next time I will check it out more, I mean, it's at Tokyo Bay, I should be able to see water and stuff *-*

So this day was also a really, really nice experience and I had a lot of fun. Maybe I had a bit too much freetime but I got used to everything over the two days. Now I know how it works, so I'm definitely going there again when they release their next single!! I want to meet Jurina again and there are a few other girls that I want to meet once in a lifetime. For example I aways liked Mayuyu but never thaaaat much but still, seeing her from far away makes me want to meet her. Sakura I don't know.. I do like her a lot, but hmmm..Sayanee is a must (if I get a ticket) and maybe some other SKE members like Ryouha or Churi. Damn, why didn't Sae graduate one year later..

I'm having a 2shot event in June, but who knows, maybe I even meet Idols before that again.
I love Idols :')

AKB48 Handshake Event at Makuhari Messe 2017.01.07

I finally attended an AKB48 Handshake Event last weekend. I ordered the handshake tickets with their single "High Tension", which was released back in November. I was actually really really lucky and won almost everything I applied for! (on the downside I won almost nothing for the new album 2shots). I applied for both Events, saturday and sunday. I mostly wanted to meet Jurina and won all the tickets I applied for her, which was really cool. so I could meet her 6 times!
Let's talk about saturday first:

I had to wake up quite early, because my first Ticket was for Slot 2 and it took me 1 hour 20 minutes to Makuhari Messe. I  arrived at the Messe hall around 10. and everything went really fast. I didn't have any problems with my Trains, neither with finding the Messe place. Even for non-Japanese speaking people it is actually quite easy to find the place. I bought food from the Conbini and went through the Security Check. It was really fast as you simply have to show one of your tickets and they checked my bag and and I had to drink a bit from my water  (which I knew before, so I wasn't surprised). Coming inside the hall, it is really big actually so I checked the lanes places on a map hanging near the antrance. For this part it is good to know your member's Kanjis, because there is a list with their lanes only with Kanjis. But on the actual lined, there are also romaji. I was still early, but Jurinas lane already got formed, so I lined up and waited until 10:30. Then they checked our tickets and ID cards again and I had to press a button and didn't win a sign card :'(

 Jurina was a few minutes late and in the mean time I checked people around me and other members. The first member I actually saw from a far was Dasu. her line was close to Jurinas and she looked so genki and bubbly. I really need to talk to her, too. She's one of only ones, that I didn't win any tickets.
Between Dasu and Jurina' s line was a lane for disabled people and different members came from their booths to this place. I saw some cute interactions and for example, I could see Ryoha, Nao and Minarun.
On the other side of Jurinas booth I could see Rara really clearly. She's super cute even she looked really quite young. Since she had the video special, some people could take a video of her. She looked also really cute doing that.
When Jurina finally appeared I could already see her a bit from far away, but not really until I was closer. And she looked really really beautiful. Still have to her uses to her new blonde hair colour, but I think it fits her (though I like dark more). I was really excited and tried to think about what to say again. And then it was finally my turn and she took my hands.

Me: Hello
J: Thank you
Me: This is my first handshake Event. I love you!
J: Hey, (our hairstyle) looks similar
Me: Yeah, right!
J: Come again, please!
Me: Yes!
*staff started to push me away but she made a heart pose with me*

That was my first ever handshake, hahaha. Thats what I wanted to tell her, but she started talking about our hair. Sasuga Jurina xD That confused me a bit, but I think that was something really cute and unexpected. In the end, when she did the heart, I was even more confused, but I managed to make a heart with her, haha. That was really really sweet from her. And wow, she is really such a lovely Person and tries to make her fans happy!! And she is auch a beauty!

After that, I went to the toilet and then I checked out the place. There are so many members haha. But it's really hard to see members when you are not in their lane or next to them. There are just too many fans xD especially at booths from like Sayanee or Sakura. I sat down die a bit and watched some videos on the big screen.

When it was 11:45 I went to Jurinas line again, as the next slot started at 12:00. Of course it started a bit later but when the line was formed I was again quite early; didn't win a sign though.. when I was waiting I had an even better view of Rara. There was one moment when she didn't have any fans in line, so I smiled at her. I'm not sure if she saw me, but she smiled, too.
When it was almost my turn the OJS48 Stuff guy was also smiling at me really nicely. Maybe he recognized me again, and I was really nervous, so it was cute :)
Then it was my turn again.
Jurina actually grabbed my hands a bit differently this time, which surprised me a bit.

Me: Jurina!! You are cute
Jurina: You are cute.
Me: No, no
*slight pause*
Jurina: Where are you from?
Me: Germany!
Jurina: Wow, Germany. That' really cool.
You are stylish
Me: Thank you!
*staff starts pushing me away*
Jurina: Thank you, bye bye. Cuuute
Me: Bye bye

This one was also really cute, though there was a little pause after I said she looks cute. But even though it's boring, I wanted to tell her that. So she asked the obvious thing, where I was from. Well, I was kind of waiting for that question actually xD so when I said Germany, she went a bit crazy, saying how cool that is. You know, kakkoi!! That was really funny and she also said I'm stylish. Without context though XD

Even though it was fun, I was looking forward to the last meeting. But I had the whole 4th slot free, so I sat down again and watched the screen and ate something. Actually, there are also some food booths, one of them being from the AKB cafe and a goods stand.
And I started writing this xD so when it was closer to the start of 5th slot, I went to Jurina's line again. It's really relaxing to have just one member in one slot, because I don't have to worry about missing something. So this time, some fans talked to me!! Especially one oder guy started talking to me in English and there were two guys who also joined in. The guy who started talking to me was from Nagoya and we talked about Idols, Japan and Germany. It was really interesting and they were so nice. I have a nice image of Idol fans now xF One of them was even in Germany before xD it was a bit awkward at first,  but in the end we were making jokes :D
The old guy even showed me a two shot with Jurina *cries* She was 10 minutes late, but then she finally appeared. By the way, now next to her lane wasn't Rara anymore, it changed to Kuma-chan. She looks also nice and cute!! I could also see Sarina and some NGT member came once.
So it was my turn again:

Me: Heeey, are your hands ok?
J: *grabs my hands really tightly* Yes, thank you! You are really nice!
Me: Your blonde hair really looks a bit similar to mine. Looks Good in you
J: It is similar, right.
Time
J: (in English )I Love you! *kiss mouth*
Me: I love you! See you tomorrow

The first two times I was really nervous but this one was better. So I asked her about her hands, because she hurt them yesterday. But she just hold my hands more tightly.. wow. I wanted to say something about the wrestling thing, but turned back to her hair again, hahaha. It was just so cute, that she said we look similar *-* so we mentioned that again and then the time was over again and she said I love you with a kiss mouth. She really likes kisses ne xD
And so I said "See you tomorrow" because I wanted her to know, that I will come back xD But her English I love you was really cute and I like how that was the only thing she said in English xD

With that my Jurina experience of that day has ended. She is awesome!

So I had to wait again until 7th slot.. Sat back, ate something and prepared for Tano-chan. Another one of my favourites.
When I went to the direction of her line, some other members were just leaving, so some fans greeted them. One of the members was Mayuyu!!! I could really really recognized her very well, even though I was quite far away. The fans were going crazy and Mayuyu did some clapping thing with them. Everyone was clapping when she was clapping. That was really cool and I had so much fun. After Mayuyu, Yukirin left and even though I couldn't see her as well as Mayuyu, I still saw her and that was awesome!! Some other members like Yuiri were also leaving.
Then I could line up for Tano-chan. The line wasn't as long as Jurina's, you can clearly see a difference between the popular and not so popular members. Didn't win a Nengajou from her :/
She was a bit late, so I could see Goto Moe on one side and Seina on the other. Both looked really cute!!
Then Tano finally came and I could tell from my place that she looked really stylish. But the guy in front  me said something weird and kind of rude. I didn't understand everything, but he said something about her clothes being too white. Her shirt was really white, but I didn't get why he was a bit angry about that.. well, Tano looked a bit confused and then it was my turn

Tano: Thank you!
Me: You look really stylish
Tano: Really? Thank you. Your head is so small, ne
Me: Eh? I'm from Germany by the way
Tano: Eeeeeeh, Germany?
*time, but she still holds my hands tightly*
Me: Love you!

Meeting Tano was a really nice experience. It was a more relaxing and I had a bit more time ;) I really think she is stylish, and even more because of the guy before me I had to tell her. But then she said that my head is small, hahaha. That is a compliment, so I didn't know how to react. It's not even thaaat small xD It turned into me telling her I'm from Germany, hahaha. Well, she was also really surprised! And the best thing: she held my hand really really tightly, even when it was time to go for me. :o the Security gut was starting to push me out but she didn't let go, haha. I told her I love her, but then I really had to go. I definitely look forward to seeing her again!! I felt so relaxed and she is such a beauty. *-*

That was my first Hanshake Day. After this I was really tired and went to sleep almost immediately at home. So many things happened and I saw so many Idols! Especially Jurina looked like on picture or even more beautiful! I really liked her interactions. Tano-chan was a bit different but I felt so at ease talking with her! xD
Overall, this was a nice first day!!
