Day 2: Ichikawa Miori (and other girls) Finally, the main event! The reason I came here! Two shot day. I woke up way too early, lined up way too early, and I dont regret it one bit. When I got there there was already a really long line (AKB fans are crazy) when they let us in. Everyone remained orderly and calm despite nobody doing line control. I got in, found the lane assignments and immediately headed to my first two shot, Murashige Anna aka aanya 1: Murashige Anna - aanya was the one who would set the tone for the day. She was my first two shot and the first 48 idol I met and she did not disappoint. I was fifth in line for her and when they opened the curtain I was stunned because she is just so pretty and she was so vibrant and happy. She immediately shook my hand and started communicating with me. She thanked me for coming to see her and she thanked me for seeing her right away. She asked me if I was from America and when I got said yes she got really excited and asked me pose, I, of course, picked mentaiko. After we took the picture she shook my hands, time me to come see her again and shook my hands again. I walked out and checked picture with staff to verify it wasnt blurry and it was pure black, they had covered camera. I told him it wasnt OK and he made me prove I didnt load up another photo. He took me back in and we retook the photo and that time it turned out fine. She shook my hands again and I went on my way. At this point I had 1:15 left until the next slot so I started wandering. I decided to check out miorin area and just ended up staying there. 2: Ichikawa Miori - after waiting 75 minutes, slot two finally began. I was first in line for miorin for her first slot of the day, I was going to be her first two shot. At ghee curtain I was having a bit of a meltdown due to the strong emotions I was feeling but when they opened the curtain and I saw her there that itself was an experience. I walk in and instead of shaking my hands she holds them in front of her and rocks them side to side like a couple would. Then she points at my shirt and is very happy I have it due to it being a limited Osaka only birthday shirt. After that I tell her that I am a big fan of hers from America and her reaction is incredible. She got extremely happy and excited and responds, surprisingly, in english with Really?! I want to spread fresh lemon to the world!! Which completely destroyed my Japanese because it was so unexpected. She asks pose and I put up my hands for a great and she catches on and attaches hee half to mine. I was extremely emotional at this point so i was shaking even more. So she grabbed my wrist with her other hand and held on until it was stable then let go for the picture. After picture she grabs my hands again and then she asked me if Ill come back and see her again. As Im leaving I tell her wait for me in Japanese and she got an enormous bright smile and that was the last thing i saw before leaving. Total miorin time this hs: 45 seconds (these are 15 second meetings at best generally)I wander over to aanya line in a daze as i have her in slot two also. 3: aanya part two -I got in and she was really happy to see me again. She shakes my hands thanks me for coming back. She starts speaking only Russian to me and I dont understand any of it but its really cute. For pose I choose mini mentaiko since she posted on Google that she wanted it. This two shot was great but had much less impact due to miorin before. After aanya I wander. I decided to get my tickets stamped due to the fact that foreigners were being called by staff so i do that. Then o wandered to shop. I was determined to put some money into miorin to at least support her a little so i bought three of the only thing they had of her. After that i got into the line i was most looking forward to going into the event, shimazaki haruka aka paruru. 4: paruru - what a disappointment. She was horrible. I like her salty nature but that was just too much. She did not look at me. She did not speak a word. She did nothing. She might as well have not been there. When her staff asked for a pose after i talked at her a couple seconds she immediately shot up a peace sign. Picture done, no handshake, and give seconds that felt like 45 years. Boring. I went and took and long break after paruru because next slot was easy. I lined up for my next slot halfway through. Next slot motomura Aoi aka aoi-tan. 5: aoi-tan - Aoi made up for paru. She was agentive, fun, cute, and just really nice. Not much happened but her staff was really rude in getting me out. Uneventful but pleasant. A girl i want to support. Next up was paruru again. I wanted to skip her but Carey convinced me to give her another chance because she is better with repetition he said. 6: paruru part 2 - horrible again. This time was more staff. The staff harassed me and argued with me over whether my ticket was valid or not. Finally get through that and then when Im at the curtain she arbitrarily disappears for 15 minutes. I FINALLY get in and she half waves so this one is actually better than the last. She still ignore me but i get winning the janken a couple years ago and when staff asks for pose she does a paper/wave pose so at least she listened to me. She sorta smiled for the picture too. I love paruru but i never want to meet her again. After getting thankfully shoved out by staff again i jumped into a slot six line, Kizaki Yuria aka peace. 7: peace - peace was actually unexpected. She had fractured her wrist during a filming and it was clearly braced. I asked if she was OK and she spoke to me in only english. It was really cute. For pose i of course chose peace. All in all a nice handshake. Next was maeda ami aka aamin. 8: aamin - aamin. Was. Great. I walked in and she was immediately engaging and involved. She pointed to my miorin shirt and said lemon I said yep! Is your kamioshi? I begrudgingly responded with yes is kamioshi because its rude to tell an idol another one is. She responded with I love lemon!! All of was in english. I picked OK pose with her because my mind was already on next slot. After this was a of a break so i went and hung out with my friend Vincent Thornefors who i convinced to be there. Then my best friend showed up. Im so happy to have met her. We talked a while and I told her about how some of them went. Then i went to line up for slot 7. In this slot i had three tickets though i threw one away. I lined up early and was first in line for this one as it was important to me. 9: miorin part two -when i got in miorin got an enormous smile and she said (in english) you came back I missed you!!! She went to hold my hands again and this time I just shook hers. We talked about small stuff and i picked fresh lemon pose. She told me that to make it unique i should put my leg the other way. After that she shook my hands again and said matte ne back to me like i had earlier and i responded with soon and her smile lit up the room at that. This was my short meeting with her, seconds total time so far at 35 seconds making the total time so far 80. I decompressed for a bit, used the restroom and got in my final line for the day. Final: miorin part 3 - oh. My. God. Can just say i this girl?? I walk in and she gets an enormous smile and she says you came back again but i kinda ruined her mood when I told her it was the last time. She looked so sad. She did the hand holding and rocking again and i told her I wanted the e from onew as pose. I knew from performances that she liked that pose a lot and nobody picks it and she was ecstatic i picked it. While staff was checking my phone she grabbed and held my hands again and i took that chance to tell her miorin is my kamioshi. Her response was INSTANT she said really?! Im so happy and (i wont tell this part) After that i was just a complete wreck and as i was leaving i told her i love you miorin and she responded with i love you too. Ill miss you Ill be waiting for you come back soon and i promised i would. This was 50 more seconds making 2:10 of miorin time. Got dinner and headed back to hotel. As soon as i got back I applied for tickets to see her one more time. Then was bed to prepare for today. Sorry for super long post
