水樹奈々「愛のくに愛顔のえひめフェスティバル」で!

So luckily I had the chance to go to the Ehime Festival at Yurakucho today, since my 2nd class was cancelled. I didn't get there quite as early as I would've liked, since I still had my 1st class but I did still get there in good time and managed to position myself some 10m from the stage. This made me really happy since it was essentially going to be the closest I have been to Nana so far. (^-^) Not that my view was the very best, since I am so small (well not compared to Japanese girls, but to the guys..).. orz

Anyways! The first action we saw when the clock was nearing 13:00, was Mican and Bari-san appearing from somewhere on the far right and making their way slowly to the stage. I think people were contemplating the possibility that one of the mascots would actually be Nana-san, haha. This happened before they forbid cameras so here's a picture. (^-^)/

Somehow this pic makes it seem like I'm way taller than everyone else.. o_o

Then..... 奈々キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!
Holy hell was I very dokidoki somehow. xD Since Nana-sama really is tiny, it took me a while to find a position where I could actually see her. She was wearing a really lovely and cute yet mature outfit and I really liked her hat. You could also feel her radiating so much from being there to promote he dear Ehime-ken. Oh and at this point I'd like to mention that I don't remember and didn't quite understand everything that was said, so I'll write about the stuff that I did catch. And btw, LOVELY FRUIT was playing in the background for the whole duration of the event. Yay! Quite fitting with all the mikan stuff around in the festival... :3

So, a little while after arriving on stage Nana decided to do a little experiment on how many people present were her fans. She shouted "If you love Ehime say shassu!" and of course pretty much everyone in the audience replied to this Ehime-fied shassu-call. Nana was really happy about the reply and decided to do another test, an Ehime-fied version of her "Kore kara mo, Mizuki Nana ni...." (which I don't remember now) and everyone of course replied with a passionate "KAKATTE KOI". Nana came up with another one of those and then ended with the traditional "Kore kara mo, Mizuki Nana ni....". I really liked this. :3

KAKATTE KOI!

Later on, after some talking with the Ehime governor (?), Nana proceeded to talk about the ROCKBOUND NEIGHBORS album jacket and told that it was actually shot in Ehime. That all of the pictures in it were shot there and we should look them through with great care (like you need to tell us to do that Nana-san.. ^^). Then of course she reminded us of the release date of the album as well. I am really looking forward to seeing these pictures from Nana-san's treasured home prefecture!

v(=∩_∩=)v

Then apparently there had been a raffle going on at the festival, since Nana started calling out the winning numbers. I'm pretty sad I missed this thing completely, I was in too much of a rush to secure a decently close spot to the stage.. orz There were 7 winners, who all got to go on stage and get Nana's autograph on the spot! Ii naaa~! I can only imagine how lucky these people felt. Hopefully, one day I'll get to experience something as grand. (^-^) I'm not sure if it was just me, but I think Nana was all blushing while writing her autographs, aawww. xD

Watashi mo hoshii~ T.T

Then just a bit before she left, Nana addressed the audience and expressed her concerns on how we were all here and asked "What about work and your studies?! Daijoubu ka?" awww. I found it so adorable and somehow touching that she was worried that we might have skipped these things just to be here today. Well, many people probably had. xD At least I could shout "Owatta!" with a clear conscience, haha.

Interestingly enough, once Nana walked off the stage, the woman hosting the event told us all to wait a little longer. Some people left though and I ended up in another spot too, actually more direct to the stage but with even more tall people in front.. orz and suddenly Nana did pop back on stage. I think mainly just to have a picture session for the reporters since nothing much else happened apart from her smiling radiantly while waving to us all before leaving again~ (*-*) Here are some pictures, even though most of you have probably seen them already.

After the event was over, I decided to get some juice from the festival stands, so that I could try a piece of Ehime-ken and its amazing mikans myself! There were three types of this one juice brand, so I got one of each in order to try a few different flavors and to share with my friends. (^-^) Haven't had a chance to drink them yet though, since today was such a hectic day... orz but soon!!

Oishisou~

I also went to buy the new issue of Seiyuu Animedia from Akihabara before heading home and was pretty ecstatic about receiving not only a (double-sided) Nana poster in the magazine, but also a poster version of the cover as a tokuten from Gamers! Finally I have more than one Nana poster here! \o/ Will put them up tomorrow probably.

Then as the final note before I end this entry, I will leave you with a picture of the back cover of the magazine with a kakkoisugiru Nana in her ad for ROCKBOUND NEIGHBORS.

(*-*)!
