ANYC When I think about the last time i☆Ris came over to America, it was also an important moment for me. The announcement was last minute so I was scrambling until the last minute. Even when everything was figured out I was worried something would mess up. I spent a lot of time with the Ganymede Couple this weekend. They're so cool being able to travel internationally and follow the artists they like. I felt like my Japanese was really bad but they were patient with me. I was able to sit in the front row for the avex pictures panel and got a good amount of attention from Yu-chan thanks to it. It feels different than in Japan but maybe I'm just imagining it. Even though it was a simple panel the small details and interactions were fun so I had a great time. Next day was the sign kai and I was really surprised when Yu-chan started talking to me when I entered her field of vision. If there wasn't someone in front of her she'd look at me. It felt really nice lol. Our conversation was a bit typical but that's fine. I'm just happy to be in front of her. Himika, Yuki and Miyu were giggling next to us. I feel like this situation was the same last time as well lol. Anyhow afterwards their Manager came out to speak with me and a few other people. It was a fun casual conversation and she commented on how due to the places we're going to the flight schedule between us is more or less the same lol. Afterwards, Seriko came out and gave the Ganymede couple an Air Sign. It was really cute. During the final day I wanted to make sure I could get a good seat for the live. Even though I had ANYC+ I couldn't drop my anxiety so I lined up at 8AM. I was so early that the managers for i☆Ris came by and noted how early I was lol. Then later.. Even the members came by and saw me. Himika, Yuki and Saki came by first and waved. A few moments later Yu and Miyu came and Yu even said good morning to me. Well... It definitely woke me up lol. The live was really fun. I got a lot of attention from Yu-chan. There are some particularly memorable moments. She asked me a question during the line readings but I didn't really hear her that well. She also laughed a bit when she heard my Gachikoi lmao. She did say she wanted to see my mixing during the release event last week so... she got to see it lol. For the sign kai. I wanted to talk about a few things but her manager mentioned to me the other day that she was quite busy and going home right after the event so I wanted to ask her how she was doing. Of course she said she was fine but I wanted to let her know I was worried and hoped she was getting enough rest. She said she's busy but she's doing alright and that she'd rest on the plane back. After the sign kai she waved one last time before leaving and that's the end of the event. Like every event where I can see her I always feel a bit melancholic after its over but.. it was a lot of fun. It was nice to talk to her in a more free manner. I'm looking forward to seeing her again soon. That is all thanks for reading😊
