First things first, after weeks (well, months) of speculation, it has finally been revealed that there will be 3 autographing sessions with Morning Musume at AX!! Three entire autograph sessions, a rare opportunity indeed! (we’d have almost no chance of going to one in Japan)

Rough mathematics leads us to the conclusion that for between 500-1000 fans to get autographs off of 9 girls in the space of 90 minutes then everyone would get between 4.5 – 9 seconds of talking time with each girl (well, that’s already about 5x the length of a handshaking session then, lol). Of course AX have said that they will end the autograph session after 90 minutes regardless of how many people are still in the line, so those numbers could be completely out of whack and people could just take however long they wanted, and we’d end up with only 50 people getting autographs. But meh, 9 seconds of talking time (x 3) is a reasonable guess.

Anyway yes, packing… little over one week to go, no sense leaving it to the last minute otherwise something always gets forgotten. Here’s what i have so far:

lol. Hat to keep the sun off, badge, Naa-san, star-tambourine, 3 wristbands, 2 t-shirts (bonus points for guessing what the red is behind the t-shirts), one hand-made “British” mushroom (the fact it looks like a 5 year old (or a guy with a fractured wrist *cough*) made it is kinda appropriate as anyone who’s watched Kirarin Revolution will know, lol), Kirarin Revolution live DVD. (note: normal clothes and everything else is yet to be packed)

Planning on getting Naa-san signed, the DVD signed, and probably a Morning Musume album (hmm, anyone would think i was only looking forward to getting stuff signed by Koharu, lol… but hey, LinLin is pretty funny too).

Oh btw, the badge was also hand made… the wonders of high def TV these days (lol)…

Ahh, excellent, excellent. It’s going to be pretty damn fun.
