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

UK Oishii Newspaper Photoshoot!

Hi guys!

It's been a little while. I thought I would blog about the (kinda) recent photoshoot I did with Oishii! Ichigo members Kelsey and Scarlett! Well, it's mostly photos but I hope you can enjoy looking at it. I really love the Oishii girls and it's always so much fun to meet up with them!! I had such a good time. I had to get a train quite early and I actually bumped into one of my Japanese teachers on the way there, so I ended up speaking Japanese all morning.  ;;; Even though I was so tired!! OTL

I had to start the day with no makeup/hair not done. Well, I'm wearing concealer and mascara. ;; Because there would be a stylist at the shoot!

The shoot was for a newspaper called The Sun in the UK to do with "kawaii" fashion, or harajuku fashion basically. Of course in the articles in the UK they dumb down the concept a lot but hey (´・ω・｀) The article itself was pretty decent! If you want to read it, you can do so here:

I'll warn you that people haven't been so nice in the comments (´・ω・｀)



This was all three of us putting our things out to create outfits! It's really colourful right?

Myself getting my hair and makeup done. Hehe~ The makeup they put on was LOTS and quite dark. It made our Purikura come out quite funny ww



For you Kelsey fans~ Kelsey having her photos taken. Isn't she adorable??



Us three went to take purikura afterwards! I have a video of that that I will upload on my Oishii youtube channel! ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ

I took a photo of myself there too ww



Then we had subway. You know, subway is one of my favourite things to eat. It's sooo tasy! >3< I like to get the turkey breast and ham usually!! With a soft drink if I'm feeling sugary or just water usually. Needless to say after all of the cuteness I was definitely feeling sugary. (Suddenly this has become a blog about food lol)

Me and Scarlett both love food you know. ww We have a lot in common actually (ﾉ´∀｀*)

Well that's it from me! Thanks for reading!!

Japanorama!

Hi everyone!!
It's Cherry.

Recently I'm really busy with my studies. Exams soon! Well, I already had one exam, Kanji and Japanese listening exams. I don't think I did great.... ;; But, positive thinking! My exam season finishes after June 6th. That's my last exam ♥

You know, OishiI! Ichigo appeared at JAPANORAMA on May 4th/5th.  That is, the UK members, Kelsey, Scarlett and myself. It was suuuper fun!! The space center is really cool. We performed 3 times, once on Saturday, twice on Sunday. It was our first time having a hotel and having a whole weekend to perform, so our Sunday performance was really good!! Well unfortunately I lost my voice during my solo ("Overmaster" from IDOLM@STER) on Saturday. (´・ω・`) It was embarrasing!! But people still told me they liked my singing. That made me really happy, so thank you so much to everyone who supported me (and us!!)

We had matching outfits! Oops, my face is so shiny. ww

We were looked after by manager Beckii, and Sparkles* of Area 11 who performed with her.

I bought their single, Shi no Barado. It's a really good single you know so I'd recommend it to you! The harmony is beautiful ♥

Besides, we were also selling merchandise. It was so exciting, it was the first time we'd ever sold merchandise at a convention! Also, we had things other than CDs and it was odd to see my face on things but it was awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who bought something and/or asked us to sign it!! We love you!! (≧∇≦)/

I tried taking a photo in the bathrooms...

But there was an unexpected visitor (。。;)

Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend, Japanorama staff + guests!! I want to go back next time!! （*´▽｀*）

Oishii! Ichigo are working on some new stuff right now. It's exciting! We (the members) all got a chance to help create it, so it's a great showcase of each member's tastes! *_*

Thanks for reading! I'll see you!

僕はお化け屋敷で働いた、人形になった

I was working at the Haunted House and I became a doll~

メイクはこれ～でんぱ組Incの「でんぱれーどJAPAN」のメイクのインスピレーションね

The makeup was like this~ It’s inspired from DenpaGumi’s “Denparade JAPAN”.

人形じゃないとき、こういう格好だった

When I wasn’t a doll, I was looking like this

いいの？僕が好きなぁ
