Alice Project

I know probably not all off you are interested in Cerisier but as they are part of/are owned by etc. Aliceproject this is the section they belong in.

I went to their first oneman live in Zepp Diver City today and it was a excellent (sold out!!!) show. Started off with 2 songs by their, what google translates as, candidates (although a few candidates were also allowed a performance during the main show). They did their best but were still a bit rough, but they pass on effort alone.

Then it was time for the girls of Cerisier to take over the stage and even though I saw them last tuesday in parms I must say they have grown since I first saw them last May.
Danceroutines fit the songs and were well executed, clearly the girls put a lot of effort in that and also a big part of the singing was, to my ears, real live singing.
But offcourse the most important part was that the girls themselves really enjoyed it and that was reflected by the audience.

Right before the encore it was announced that Cerisier will hold their 2nd oneman live on the 15th of July 2019 in Stellar Ball, Shinagawa, 1 song encore

Concert lasted for about 130/140 minutes

After the concert it was cheki time. First I got a shot with the candidate girls who, during the main , performed a high tempo with very intense dance routine song. I liked the song and liked their performance so to reward them a bit I took a cheki with them.
I must say here that, for as far as I could tell I was the only non-asian foreigner in the audience (there were a few Koreans) so when I went for the cheki the girls were very happily surprised.
Then I went back into the main hall (candidates did their chekis in the lobby) for chekis with Cerisier. First they split the group in 4 little groups of east and 1 for west. I chose the group with my Oshi, Neachin who, even though I told her on tuesday in parms (were she did recognize me from 6 months ago) that I would be visiting this live was genuinely surprised that that was true. She reacted extremelye enthusiastic and she threw herself next to me for the cheki and it showed in the shot.
Other girls were also extremely happy and I have the gut feeling that they gave me a little bit more interaction time then the others, not much though as those first groupshots were in high tempo.

After that I took a shot with the west girls, here to happy faces and I could feel (and after the shot see) their looser Osaka vibe.

Then they started signed two-shots. Offcourse I got one with Neachin, even though her English is still virtually non existent and my Japanese is just as bad we still both knew enough to have a funny liitle chat and the cheki turned out really well.

I stayed untill everything was over and the girls said their goodbyes. After that it was a plate of curry at the foodcourt (just in time as it was 21.25 and last order was at 21.30) and then back to my hotel.

Points of interest/improvement:
- I would love to see the danceroutines allow the girls to switch sides on the stage. Now it was that girls were staying on their starting side so girls on the left side had very little interaction with the audience on the right and vice versa.
- A lot of girls, woman and even old ladies in the audience. They were also willing to spend a lot (really a lot) on chekis (although the seemed to like small more then wide)
- chekis were golden in terms of revenue. The piles of cash were huge.
- personally I was impressed that they managed to sell out. Quite impressive for a group with just one single (although the 2nd one was now for sale as merch).

Lastly I want to express my thanks to the Japanese guy who gave me (as in for free) the ticket of a friend of his who couldn't make it. It was numbered A194 so thanks to that I had a very good 2nd row seat. (my own ticket was B54)

 

Thanx for taking the time to share your experience, sounds like a good time.
Happy to see that they are having some success.

7 Days till MMA Fight Night

7 days until DEEP JEWELS 22 on 12/1.
...and only now was I able to find the DJ21 fight from September.

Nanaka's overall record is currently 2W and 2L.
It's become crystal clear that Nanaka's strengths are her devastating kicks and sledgehammer punches.
Clear to her opponents as well that the only counter strategy is to keep her in close to avoid getting pummeled and go for the submission hold as seen above. I'm confident that her trainers and Nanami are aware of this trend and will make the necessary adjustments for this weekend.

Regardless of outcome, Nanaka is still the most savage idol on the planet and deserves a ton of respect for being the first to take on this challenge. Kind of shame that we haven't seen another idol get onboard. They could really build up a lot of hype with an "Idol vs. Idol" matchup.

No Anna No life ⭐ Forever 2018.11.25

That was what was engraved in the wristbands that were handed out today (together with a weird light up headband and even weirder shaped red balloon) and all the fans lived this night by that creed.

Parms was packed completly full which certainly made for a good atmosphere, lots of red shirts with various references to Anna.

Show started with all the girls from Armour, Steam and Alice10 performing at the same time which lasted for about 30/40 min after which the stage was given completly over to Alice10 who brought the roof down (the audience to by the way) with a stellar performance divided in three parts. During the 2nd part they had as special guest a former member but I don't know who. Blond with long hair.
During part 3 Anna also did one song solo.
Like I said the performance was divided in three parts so we had 2 breaks. During break 1 there was a large cake and presents, break 2 was a letter read by Sakura (tears flowed)
The last song performed all the other girls (including pa-ken and slime) also came on stage and sko everyone knew that it was going to happen now:
Anna would be receiving her diploma (?) and graduate from Kamenjoshi.
It took quite a while as there were a few speaches and there was still some joking around but as the ceremony progressed so did the emotion rise.
After the call all the girls bowed and the light on stage turned off and only a lone spotlight shone on Alice10 and after a while, after the other groups had left the stage, still in that lone spotlight Alice10 (and the audience) broke and let their tears flow. But Anna had to face the last step to graduation alone, crying she donned the red mask one last time, picked up her scissor and slowly lifted it above her head and stood there silent.
Then the scissor closed and she brought it down hugged it and then put it on the stage floor.
Then came the worst part, and I am not ashamed to say that even I cried here, with immense effort and clearly overwhelmed by emotions and tears she ligted the red mask of her face, hugging it even more tightly and then slowly while bowing put it on the floor. Then the lights faded and when the backgroundmusic stopped and the lights went back on Anna was no longer there........ and the audience remained silent, overwhelmed by what had just passed.

So I hope I could bring over a little bit of the emotions that were felt during Anna's graduation. I think it is a graduation worthy of legends.

Luckily everyone still got the chance (after the group together with audience photos) for one last cheki with Anna if they wished and boy did people want that. I left at 23.30 when the other girls were done with chekis and left and the row was still atleast 120 people long (they might be finishing up now)
I took chekis with Momomin as usual (crying pose this time)
And with Saria Seira who was clearly not expecting her name to be called but she recognized me from the day before as Pa-ken had bar duty and she handed me my drink. I told her that I would be trying to keep track of her which made her happy.

After some talking with other fans I left this emotional rollercoaster. If the graduation of a girl that I don't oshi (but do respect immensly) already manages to bring me to tears then I am afraid for the moment that Momomin graduates.

 

Excellent read Oddball82 for us Anna oshi & Kamen Joshi fans in general. Thank you. It is TRULY the end of an era...

 

I'd say that Anna's graduation is up for order ... But currently it looks like someone may have got some copy and paste errors in the listings ... Like the disk titled for Anna graduation saying it's Erina's in its description ...

Anna Graduation Countdown Tribute #30

This entire video is an amazing experience to watch, but specifically Anna's crowd surf that begins around the 57 min. mark. Perhaps one of her finest moments in her nearly 8 year career.
Some of those shots from her hand held camera looking back at that massive stage gives an indication of just how deep she went into the crowd. Doubtful if you'll ever see an artist of any genre get that much depth.

As long as the previous orders for things like Erina's graduation are still honoured ...
