Report from sanshikisumire about instore event in Sendai ↓ [...] "I arrived at little hearts about 15 minutes before the opening of the event, and people were already around. Originally, the event was supposed to be first come, first served for the talk, but they made it so that it was based on ticket numbers. With a capacity of 100, my 81 only just made it. Not bad, considering I only got the ticket the day before. This time there were chairs! Praise the lord. Sendai’s little hearts is bigger than Like an Edison in Nagoya, so it was lot easier to fit us all in. The guys were sat at tables at the front on a low platform, so I could still see them, even from the back. One of the staff told us the rules, then asked if we had out hearts prepared. Insisting we did, she welcomed the band in. Yoshi was on hand to deliver the questions. At first they did the run of the mill stuff. Can you describe the new songs? How was the writing process? ,etc. Nothing new there. I just feel bad for Hiroki, because he doesn’t have a song this time, he can’t really add anything in this part of the talk. Afterwards they answered questions from the fans. Mine didn’t get picked :( and they only answered about four questions in the end, but I think that was because Hide-Zou kept going off on one ^^; The first question was whether Asagi was going to be lifted up or not. The word in Japanese for lifting someone in your arms is ‘ohimesamadakko’, or ‘princess hug’, so Asagi answered he wouldn’t be as he’s a king, not a princess. Then he said Yoshi could give it a try after the event. What Asagi says, and what the guys decide to do in Akita, or on his birthday, are very different things though ;) Then somebody asked the guys to relate recent, cute episodes of Asagi. They were all insisting that he’s always cute :3 Hide-Zou was talking about Asagi on stage, but Yoshi said that didn’t count. Despite that, Hiroki was talking about Asagi on stage too, and said he did this little cute thing where he put his head to one side. Tsunehito also mentioned Asagi’s on-stage antics, and said it’s cute when Asagi starts laughing uncontrollably. Asagi burst out laughing and started shaking, and Tsunehito was all “that’s exactly what I mean!" I think Ruiza just said Asagi is cute generally. If I recall correctly, one of them mentioned his recent English in his blog posts as being cute too. The next question was about the stage entrance and exit music, and whether it would be released. Asagi only answered that the ending music, a piano version of Rosenstrauss, is on the single, but didn’t mention any other songs. He revealed he’d used the Rosenstrauss piece on his produce day during the ten day lives, and the fans hadn’t noticed. Tsunehito then added they want to release the music, I think, but there was nothing solid. Shame, because there’s some great tracks they’ve used before. Finally, somebody asked Hide-Zou to do one of his dances for those who hadn’t been to the shows. We all clapped for him as he danced, but he said it was weird without music, so the guys started humming and singing a tune with the words ‘weird old man’ ahaha so he danced again. Then they were talking about doing radio exercises before the live and Ruiza demonstrated that for us. There was a lot of laughter, especially from Asagi. I think Ruiza and Hiroki talked the least, and Hide-Zou, by far, talked the most. Yoshi was cutting him off for comical effect, which Asagi sometimes does on the radio broadcasts and stuff. Towards the end, Hide-Zou wanted Hiroki to do some radio exercises with him, but Hiroki wouldn’t do it so he was giving him this hilarious look. Some girl later said he looked like a delinquent when he did it. Apparently it’s his ‘serious’ face. After that, we all had to leave while the shop was rearranged for the signing." [...]
