I'm a PASSENGER ☆



Hey everyone!

I just finished eating (*´ω`*) I made my favourite Japanese curry again today~ It's so tasty! If you haven't tried Japanese curry before I recommend it! 

                                         

 おいしい(ノ´∀`*)

Anyway I spent a lot of today watching ShakuUma TV. ShakuUma TV is the variety show of the idol group PASSPO☆. I've been a huge fan of PASSPO☆ for such a long time- before they had their major debut and were still in the indies stage (;・∀・) They're the best!! The best idol group ever!!

If you're unfamiliar with PASSPO☆, they are a "girl's rock unit" with a flight attendant theme under the Universal Music label (*´ω`*) Their major debut single "Shoujo Hikou" was released on May 16th 2011 and hit #1 on the weekly Oricon chart!



A lot of the music they make is has a real rock-vibe to it, it's really unlike most other idol music! If you're interested in music that's a bit different or you enjoy rock themes I'd recommend them (*´ω`*)








Aren't they cute? My "oshimen" (favourite member) is Mori Shiori aka Morishi, the yellow member and PASSPO☆'s "delusional girl". She's full of energy and sometimes not-so-girly with a loud singing voice and lots of talent! I love her! (*´艸`*) Though lately I have fallen in love with purple member Annya, too... どうしようw

PASSPO☆ also use different terminology for things to fit with their "flight attendant" theme.
Leader - "Captain"
Sub Leader - "Chief Purser"
Members - "Crew"
Concert - "Flight"
Tickets - "Passport"
Fans - "Passengers"

Like that ヽ(=´▽`=)ノ It's a great concept!


I hope you'll all become PASSENGERS, too! (♥ω♥)

ALcon ☆

Hey guys!

So on Sunday I attended ALCon in Leicester for Oishii! Ichigo work (ノ´∀`*)



ALcon is run by the Anime League forums and goes on for several days each year.

I had to get my train from Sheffield at around 8:15AM, so I got up pretty early. It's funny, I'm not a very punctual person at all- I'm always late for class and things- but yet for conventions and important (to me) events, I always seem to be super early! I booked my taxi well in advance and arrived at the station at 7AM..... though the station didn't even open til 7:30, so I had to wait around in the cold (´・ω・`)



Selfie opportunity, then (;・∀・)

Anyway, I arrived and met with fellow Oishii! member Scarlett, MK Dance leader Rachel and the lovely Beckii (and Sparkles*) ! The whole crew was here (*´ω`*) It was so lovely to see evryone again!

Of course, this was our first performance since Kelsey has left the group, so it felt pretty strange. We even got quite emotional during "Ai nano?" !! (TдT)

Our performance was...... well let's just say there was an organisational error on their part that made us look kind of unprofessional, and we weren't too happy about it, but... our actual performing went ok I think! ヽ(=´▽`=)ノ Scarlett had her own solo set afterwards which you can watch on her channel! It was great.


Me and Scarlett~



Me and Beckii~ She was so cute (*´艸`*)

For the rest of the day I just hung out with Beckii/Sparkles* on their merchandise stand and spent some time hanging out with Scarlett/Rachel too. It was so nice to be able to catch up with everyone again. Talking over the internet is nice but it's a lot more in person right? ヽ(´ー`)ノ

I got some swag from the event:



2 Area 11 shirts ( ヽ(´ー`)ノ) and some anime notebooks. They were being sold off really cheaply and they're really cute so I thought I'd get some since University will start in a couple of weeks!



Here's the same ones but the back of them~ The inside pages are printed too but I don't have a photo w

Overall it was a really lovely day! I was sad to go!

Hope to see everyone again soon! ヽ(=´▽`=)ノ
