Back from my trip to Aichi! It was one of the most memorable weeks of my life. I seriously do not have enough words to express my gratitude for my host family, all the members of the association, and to everyone who came out to all the events. It’s amazing the amount of things you can experience in just one week. I really want to write a more in depth entry later, but I’ll try to point out some quick…
Our first full day in Tokyo was completely devoted to them: Friday morning we got up bright and early and headed towards Tokyo Dome to join the line up for concert goods. The ride towards Suidobashi was surprisingly nice. We got there fairly early and joined the line up. Since it was a weekday morning, there weren’t as many people in line as I had thought.

It was starting to get dark around 5:00pm when we emerged from the station. Of course to…
I think the one word to summarize the con good experience is this – WET. Man, it was raining steadily the entire day of the first show! I guess considering it’s Sapporo, it was a good thing that it wasn’t actually snowing, but the rain really dampened the spirits lining up for concert goods, especially so early in the morning! My sister and I had gotten out of the subway station around half an hour before the con goods were…
