Receiving AFA09 artistes and guests!!

Like last year, several of us went to receive May’n, Aniki Kunio Okawara and many others. This year, we have insider news as well!

anison

The guests are highly likely to arrive at about the same time as last year’s as well, and if my memory serves correctly, they will arrive about 2 days before the event; they need their rehearsals, no? Also, from last year’s experience, they arrived in the evening, at about 5pm. Do check out on flight arrivals from Changi Airport to get a rough gauge. XD

Perfume 2nd Tour DVD at Yokohama Arena to release Jan 2010


(⊿ツアー)

Aside from the spelling error, the short snippet shows how the last leg of Perfume’s ⊿ tour at Yokohama Arena went. Yes, it’s very much like the one I went at Sapporo, although the only difference was the size.

Here’s an excerpt from the latest post:

Their next live performance announced will be for the Act Against AIDS 2009 benefit concert at the Nippon Budokan on December 1st. This will be their 2nd time joining the AAA “The Variety” concert.

As for releases, their just finished 2009 Tour will be released on DVD will be out on January 13th, 2010! If it seems a bit too long of a wait, don’t fret for the 10/15 Yokohama Arena venue of the tour will be broadcasted on MUSIC ON! TV after X’mas (12/26 ).

I can’t wait for both the broadcast version and the actual DVD. Mmmm more Perfume goodness. That said, I’m still a sucker and pre-ordered my Perfume Livefolio at the local Kinokuniya a week back. D’oh.

For more information, do visit Perfume City’s post.

Plamodel purchase for the next quarter

Bandai always loves to release nice gunpla in the last quarter of the year. And here’s my list of the drool-worthy gunpla that caught my attention:

Master Grade Blue Frame 2L
twol

The original was good, but of course, any Master Grade treatment for any 1/100 NG kit is always much, much better. Not to mention, I like the Astray series (except for the current one) better than all the anime designs.
