Berryz Return to the USA

[Shoujo Q]

What about Yurina?

[al kusanagi]

Yurina likes bears, and I think she likes Disney stuff and Spongebob.

[Anderei]

I don't know about Spongebob, but I know she does like Disney stuff. I'm not sure what her favorite character is or anything like that, though.

[ShinUkyo]

I am indeed the Yasuda Kei of the BBS, rising from the Lazarus pit for such occasions. I've been meaning to drop by for the past many weeks, but various things have been getting in the way. Steve (AEUG) and I are getting on a flight tomorrow morning to head to New Jersey, and we'll be there until Monday morning. We're staying with our good friend Eli while there, as he lives in New Jersey himself. It goes without saying that we'll all be hanging out during the convention weekend itself, but we need to better figure out what to do on Thursday beforehand (or in the case of a few of you, Wednesday as well.) I have most of your numbers, anyway, and have been talking with some of you while planning for this. But mine, if you need it, is 847-204-9945. If yours has changed, especially, please let me know by sending me a TXT or something as soon as you can. I'm one of the few people on earth without a fancy smartphone, so I won't have access to Facebook or anything while on the trip. The phone is the only reliable way to stay in touch.



EDIT: Oh yes, and there is much to say with regards to my tragedy last summer, recovery since then, and whatnot. But With how hectic stuff is right now, I'll save that for after this trip. As for now, I just wanted to post this in hopes of reaching the few people that I haven't talked to otherwise, as seeing folks again for the first time since 2009 is going to be amazing. <3 Heck, this is my first vacation (or trip out of state) whatsoever since 2009.

[Haru]

Going off topic just to say



Holy shit, hey Shin! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />

Uhm... if you want my cell # Aueg and don't have it, you can PM me for it.

As long as its the same as in 2009, it's still in my phone.



I actually wanted to make another set of CDs of all my idol music covers to give to them as gifts like I did with MM in 2009, but I really don't have any blank CDs or the time to do it D: Guess I'll just settle for the usual autograph session.



Has anyone heard from Madara and know when he'll be heading down to the convention area? And did he bother getting a hotel in the area or is he just driving from NY every day?

[Tsujiji]

Madara will be there~ I heard from him this afternoon. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I am pretty sure he got a hotel.





Alright dudes I am ready to unveil what I have been working on all week for Chinami.





It's based on her shitty little doodles she does of herself. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

For reference these ↓











Here's more shots of it.

Hope she likes it~! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[rob]

She's gonna SOOOOOO HAPPY to get that!!



I hope they video her reaction or comment!

[saicoink]

Oh gosh!! That doll is amazing! I am sure she will love it!!! Tell us how it goes :D

[MiniLovely]

Holy cow Usako, that's amazing!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hawhaw.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hawhaw:' /> You're so talented!



If you are able to, please videotape her reaction!! She's going to love it.

[Shoujo Q]

Hopefully they'll have a film crew there and hopefully they'll get her reaction.



I'm still working on cards for all the girls based on their Berryz Kamen outfits, some came out better then others. But totally not as cool as Usako's awesomness. :< I also have color coded friendship bracelets made for them.

I'll be at the Holiday Inn starting Thurs., so give me a shout there. Front Desk: 732-356-1700. A lot of our New York group will be there, plus some of the crowd they met out at Sakuracon. So hopefully, we can ALL converge.



Look for us:

[Shoujo Q]

Can everyone wear their avatars on their head?

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> YES!

[Miss Moonlight]

That doll is INSANITY! The others are going to be so jealous!

[nagibon]

That doll is seriously amazing, I think it's going to become her new favorite thing :) Yay It's so close now!!

[al kusanagi]

Well shit. They announced the backstage pass winners and it was only 5 people, one not being me.



If anyone who got one is reading this and wants to make more money than your trip probably cost, PM me.

[Shoujo Q]

That sucks Al! :< I guess you'll just have to find another way to kidnap them.

[al kusanagi]

I don't need all of them. Just enough pieces for cloning or to combine together to form one super idol...



Anyway, for identification purposes tomorrow, I will wear a black T-shirt with bigass white spider symbols on the front and back (the black Spider-Man/Venom symbol). That stands out a bit and I doubt anyone else would wear one there. I'll also wear the baseball cap from Takahashi's graduation with the "MGM9" on is just to make things easier. If the weather is crappy I might wear my zip up HP concert tour hoodie, which is bright-ass orange and impossible to miss. Everyone should have my number to call/text me. My plane lands at around 10 AM and from what I've seen it's a half hour or so train ride and 20 or so minutes on a shuttle bus to the convention area, so I should be there by noon.

[Shoujo Q]

Looking at the weather, their may be some scattered Thunderstorms on Thursday but that was in Newark. But the rest of the week looked nice!





I haven't decided what I'm wearing tomorrow. I'm such a girl. Trying to pack outfits into a suitcase is hard when it's so small. But since I have to take the subway home on Sunday after my bus ride, I don't want to be carrying a lot of luggage from line to line.



I always get really nervous before a trip thinking I'm going to forget something.

[Miss Moonlight]

I won't be there tomorrow, and I'll have to do some work Friday morning so I'll probably show up Friday afternoon. I'll text people with descriptive visual details when I know what time I'll be there.

[Madara]

Is anyone compiling a list of everyone from the board who'll be attending? I'd hate to miss out on meeting anyone--which is what happened out in LA at AX 2009. Half of us didn't meet up with the other half.

[Melon]

Requesting someone with a smartphone stand in line behind Usako and videotape Chinami's reaction. :)

I second this! If you can...

[Shoujo Q]

I don't have a smartphone. :< I'll try and take excellent mental notes, but since I have a goldfish memory this probably would be a horrible task for me to accomplish.



I'm horribly behind now on my pictures. I have a feeling I know what I'll be doing Thursday night.



Edit: Anyone know what is on the sleeve and front of the Berry Kamen outfits, seen here. I got horrible eyeballs.

[al kusanagi]

Pretty sure it's BK7 on the sleeves.

Special Interview

[Shoujo Q]

Hur~ Why did they go and upload this video now? Of course they are wearing the Berryz Kamen outfits. I think they did that to mess with me now that I have all my stuff packed away.

[al kusanagi]

Clever, Miya... You know I only find you sexy with short hair, so you put in extensions. I guess I'll just have to have Momo and Chii fight over me then.
