I did pre-order it when I read that the Mu-mo shop did signed ones. I thought you would only get one member on the 2L shot though so I am very happy it was a group shot and signed by all of them. The signed 2L shot was only from the mu-mo shop but I think it was pre-order/limited quantity only. When I look on the site now there is nothing mentioned about the signed 2Ls anymore. :(

I finally came home from my trip this week. I have yet to wath the DVD so I need to do that one day. I was able to pick up my CD before I left Japan. Was very happy to see that all members signed the 2L shot and that it was a group picture. Also took a picture of the CD the members signed after the concert.

Sure, go ahead. It will probably be at least two years before my next Japan trip but I hope I can see them again one day.

I saw something similar about it on twitter except the person didn’t know her. Will be interesting to see what she brings to the group. Long story short I had way too much fun last night. I was able to see them all quite well so I was really happy about that. After going to idol events left and right in Japan it was fun to see the audience consisted of so many women. First time I have seen women be in the majority in any concert I have gone to. I also saw some middle aged foreign fans attending. The concert started about 20min late so it was very surprising when the lights turned off for the start of the show. All VTRs were in English and Japanese subtitles. Some were spoken in Japanese and some in English. They started the concert with Better Without You and I got to see all my favorite songs live. The concert was divided into themes. During an early VTR they were talking about their journey as four and hinted that FAKY would continue on. One of the themes was “for our haters†and in the VTRs they discussed the times they felt discouraged, sad and their struggles. After that VTR we got songs like Surrender and Girl Digger. They had a section “for Anna†where all members did a solo dance/song. Mikako danced to Afterglow while Akina did 50/50 with dancing and singing. Lil’Fang went the ballad route. Anna sung “Don’t you worry about a thing†while her mother played the piano. Lil’fang and Anna were the most sad members during the concert. Lil’fang started crying early during the show and struggled with her MCs quite a bit. There was one point in a song when Mikako started laughing at her crying again lol. Anna was pretty put together until the later half of the show. During the thank you messages to Anna even Akina started crying. She slapped Anna’s arm and Anna said “she never cries,†so it was a funny moment. Faky’s continuation had been hinted at in the VTR but I was surprised to see two new members revealed. When Candy was performed for the 2nd time yesterday the vibe was quite different. In the end it was an awesome show and the background screen was so well cordinated. Especially the flower background during Last Petal was goregous. For my first time seeing them live Anna and Lil’Fang were the most eye catching for me. Mikako’s aura stands out a bit among the other 3. It took me a few songs to get used too but she was very cute and in a way remids me of other Japanese idols. Too soon to tell after one song but the new members felt more like her my first impression. Akina was really fun to watch because you can tell she loves the stage. All the guest appearances were fun too, Femm, back on, lol and more were fun. I didn’t see FAKY’s twitter post about it until today. I got my CD signed by all members. Akina was very sweet. I wished Anna good luck for the future. Last night was a very memorable experience.

She is yes and sorry about the p-typo. She introduced herself as Filipino. I am curious to hear more of her vocals in the future since she only sung “it goes like this†and “it goes like that†in Candy as duet lines. Hina joines Anna’s lines. Taki is pretty short and looks both young and small next to the others. Hina is on the taller side. They both bring a cuter look to the group so it will be interesting to see where they go from here. I will only get 5h of sleep tonight so I will write more about the concert tomorrow. The member sign was by all members and not just a random member like I previously assumed. It was fun to meet them and have my album signed.

Taki is Philipino. It was obvious she was nervous and is not that good and Japanese yet, she said she will do her best. Hina plays the piano (if I remember what Anna said correctly). OT6 did Candy. Hina is a good singer. Saw more of Taki’s dancing than vocals in the song.

I am at Liquidroom now. Will eat some sushi after the live and then I am heading straight to bed. I will have to be up early tomorrow but I can write about my experience while I am going to Osaka. I never knew much Japanese at all in the first place but living in Korea made me forget most if it. I will do my best to understand what’s going on tonight. A lot of people showed up in the yellow hoodies so that is really nice. I haven’t gotten my mu-mo version yet but I ended up buying a 2nd CD. It will end up being signed by a random member. I am hoping for Anna!

Despite me living in Korea I haven't been able to see NU'EST W. It is a shame they are not doing a mini live and just a high touch/handshake event. I am hoping it will still happen so I can go to the one in Tokyo. I know they have a busy schedule so I feel bad about that. At least the event schedule on the 19th and 20th seems standard enough to me for events like that.

Havana sounds so good!!! https://youtube.com/watch?v=SuYGkDVYJgk

Finally a youtube channel for E-youngband! With several IG updates I really hope E-youngband becomes more known next year so that E-young can finally live her dream. One day I hope to see original music from them.

I haven't tried it personally, but From Japan accepts orders from the site. I think would be pretty expensive though since the internal shipping within Japan is 800yen, at least for a private person. I bought my CD today and did not realize the internal shipping would be that much. Still worth it in the end but it is a bit sad they don't sell the signed ones at the concerts.

It would be cheaper to buy the single at the concert but I want the signed photo card! I will probably pre-order it tomorrow

I understand why she wants to leave, FAKY should be promoted so much better than they are. Feels surreal that I have a concert ticket to liquidroom. Now the concert will have such mixed feelings.

I missed out on seeing them the 2nd last time I was there so this will be nice to make up for it.

I do but I haven't bought my ticket yet. I will write about it if I can remember to do so.

Of course I don't mind. It was a really good and interesting day

So she announced the concert tonight, yet the application for tickets closed over a week ago.

I wish I could do more but I have a very limited time these days. CCTV survailence wherever I go so that they can hand out penalty points, yesterday was essentialy a cult propaganda class, 23pm curfew and speaker system information. I should maybe even ban myself from O!H since I am now using 5min to write a message and I should not be doing but I am tired of all the rules. For Chuseok we will essentially be kicked out of the dorm so at least then I can go and explore CD stores in Seoul, assuming I will even have time for that. Maybe I won't. My guess is that people think supporting AS either as a unit or their solo activities these days will have 0 impact on Pledis wanting to promote them. I really think they should though, especially before the P48 hype dies down.

My Copycat is one of the best OC songs for me and the music video was creative and so was the dance. I really don't get why it did not do better other than the fandom not supporting it enough.

I wish I could do more but I just don't have the time. :( I am too scared to even watch youtube most days because usually I am unable to see all of the video. I finally managed to escape campus for more than 4 hours though. In Busan most AS CDs are sold out. Went to 3 CD stores and they did not have many at all. I also think the reason My Copycat, all of Raina's solos minus the San E duets, Jungah's and Donny's song and Lizzy's solo debut have done badly because many fans will only support AS if it is a group comeback. At least that is an impression I have gotten over the past years. Would want to write more but I should return to studying.

I would love that, I bought the item for it but it seems I can't use it. Unfortunately fun is not a part of it all seems. At least I can use the bathroom these days without asking for permission from my senior. But I am not really allowed to go anywhere or do much of anything. I really miss music. I had the time to listen to 5 songs yesterday including Raina's. It is the most I have been able to listen tosince I got here.

Since the mail system implemented new rules more packages than ever are getting lost. I have emailed the office several times, they can't do anything. I bought 6 albums... I should have bought them now when I am in Korea instead but I can't really leave campus either. So much money wasted! Don't know if ever dare to buy kpop albums or anything again until the system improves.

I really wanted to go to a Dreamcatcher concert but we are strongly adviced not to leave campus a lot. My only hope is chuseok. Kind of annoying that a Dreamcacher member has the same name as my university now. I waited 3 months for my Escape the Era albums and they are just lost. Because of that I don't dare to buy the photobook my music taste is doing even if I am sure it will be very pretty. I am so sad right now.

I wish I could join the Lurkercrawl but I did not have time to read the rules and just bought the item that I don't think I can use. Tomorrow I will make trips to go to Seoul. We are strongly adviced to not leave campus so it is kind of funny how we all have to leave during chuseok. But I have a feeling neither Raina, Kaeun or E-young will do things then.
