Anime Expo 2009 Report – Day 4 (5th July)
Got up late and hungover, went to watch C-ZONE again and got a photo with them afterwards (‘lol, why not’ is what i thought).
Then went down to the Mangagamer booth where they had some great guests: Miru from Cy-Rim rev., Aina Kase, and Yozuca*, the head Circus guy, and one of the Da Capo artists they had back in 2007.
There was a mini concert with each of the singers singing one song. Sadly we’d missed the full length concert the other day (which incedentally was longer than Morning Musume’s 60 minute concert). Concert was pretty fun, wotagei at the front with the guys from the Momoi forum.
Got some CD’s signed and took some photo’s:

(Miru is the girl in the middle, and Aina Kase on the right)
I have to say Miru shakes hands with an iron grip, lol. The sort of hand shake a high ranking businessman might give you. Definitely not what i was expecting, lol. ^_^
I also managed to get a photo with that Da Capo artist. ^_^
Done a small amount of shopping here, then went to the charity auction to see if they had anything epic. Suffice to say, no, there was nothing. 3 signed morning musume albums which anyone could have got signed by themselves if they went to any of the autograph sessions, and a giant Hangry & Angry poster, and a giant Morning Musume poster. The only other vaguely decent stuff there (such as a framed print from Shuffle) was ruined by having it signed by the American voice cast. It’s like having your Beatles album signed by some random cover band. Seriously guys, the stuff would have been worth more without the American’s autographs.
After the auction was over we went to eat and be merry for it was our final day in LA. Ended up in the most multi-cultural room ever, lol; guys from Sewden, Mexico, England, America, even one of the guys from one of the Hello Project fansub groups… all sitting there watching Morning Musume, re-counting the weekend, and playing poker (i didn’t win). It truly is great that idols can bring people together from across the world like that. As JunJun said in her MC: “There are no borders to music.”
Finished poker, went back to pack, and discovered there was free wifi in the hotel just outside our room… D’OH!!!
