[girlwiththewhiterabbit]

I’ll be at AFASG next weekend 24-26th Nov at booth 6 with my usual boothmates parfait and moogle!! ヽ( ★ω★)ノ Looks like Creator’s Hub will be a separate island this year with 2 entrances and one exit?? HAHA duno how that will work out, but we are somewhere between an entrance and the exit~ (idk if we can share the map yet, probably not haha) To answer some questions--nope, i won’t be opening con reservations, and secondly, i usually bring 100% of my merch on the first day, so i don’t have a separate stock for each of the 3 days 8′D Feel free to send any other questions my way, i’ll try my best to answer them in these next hectic days~!

Really looking forward to the event this year, can’t wait to see everyone again!! MUCH LOVE, see y’all there~!! ＼(*^￢^*)／

AFA SG 2016 Report - SEIYUU MEET & GREAT HEAVEN

Is this report finally happening? Oh yesss! School has been taking a toll on me and it’s been sucking out my creative juice so much. Well, it’s been 3 months since AFASG but I would never forget the day I met Okamoto Nobuhiko & Matsuoka Yoshitugu/Kanae Ito!!

I’m going to share my experience during seiyuu fanmeet event. You can visit: http://juriakimizu.tumblr.com/post/153780305395/seiyuu-event-afasg16-day-2 for more detailed information on the main stage seiyuu events!~

AND SO, THE SEIYUU HEAVEN HAPPINESS BEGIN!!!

date of event: 26th november 2016

Okamoto Nobuhiko Meet & Greet

OMFGGGG IT REALLY HAPPENED! I WENT OVER TO THE VENUE AS PER REQUESTED. GOSH THE QUEUE WAS FREAKING LONG BY THE TIME I GOT THERE. Tbh, I was taking my own sweet time and didn’t expect the queue, hence that queue number of 133/150 hahah.... 

When he finally appeared, literally the whole lot of us were screaming and cheering for him. He began by answering some of the questions that the audience asked and then it was the start of the autograph session. Sadly, we aren’t allowed to get our name written on the board TT_TT

I was honestly shaking, thinking about meeting and talking to him. Even as I write this post, I could still remember the interaction we had ;AA; When it was my turn, Nobu showed off his wonderful angel smile and signed the board. Amidst of that, I just went for it and talk to him in my “wonderful” Japanese. 

Me: I’ve always been a fan of you. Now and forever I will support you so keep fighting on! (ずっとあなたのファンでした。これからも応援しますので、頑張ってください！)

Okamoto: Uwah, I’m happy! Thank you. (うわ、嬉しい！ありがとう！)

Okamoto: Btw, which character I’ve voiced, do you like?

Me: /immediately/ ROLLING THUNDER, Nishinoya! 

Okamoto: AH AH! From Haikyuu! 

Me: And also, Obi from Shirayuki-hime! 

Okamoto: I see I see, thank you for the constant support! /hands over the autograph board/

I was over the moon by the time I exited the stage and kept thinking about his beautiful smile. Honestly he was like this cute furball of happiness and he worked hard to interact with each of us during the fan signing. 

Lastly we took a group shot together and I can only see a glimpse of myself in the photo :’) All in all, it was truly a memorable experience.

Thank you, Okamoto Nobuhiko!

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu & Kanae Ito Meet & Greet

Due to the Nobu private event fanmeet, I had to miss Sword Art Online main stage event that featured Matsuoke Yoshitsugu and Kanae Ito. I sped walk my way through the crowd and reached at the venue for the SAO seiyuu meet and greet session. 

Well, that was my 2nd TIME to see Matsuoka-san but I was still nervous as ever. After a long line, finally it was my turn! /prepare for some incoming epic fail/

Me: Happy Birthday, Kanae-san!

Kanae: Uwa, I’m really happy for the wish! Thank you! /pass me the autograph board/

Me: /move infront of Matsuoka and look at him/ 

Matsuoka: /pass me some SAO flyers/

Me: Thank you. /take the flyers and walk away/ 

YES GUYS I TOTALLY WENT BLANK AND SPEECHLESS WHEN I SAW MATSUOKA!!!! /punch self/ I WANTED TO SAY SO MANY THINGS LIKE I MET YOU 2 YEARS AGO DURING AFASG14 AND LIKE HOW I LOVE YOUR VOICE ACTING AS SOUMA AND AND AND ... gosh such a fail.. I totally walked away feeling so pathetic haha...

Anyways, it was a great great experience and I was honestly lucky to get to meet few of my favourite voice actor. Below are the autograph board signed by them~! Treasuring these board forever!! 

So thank you AFASG for bringing them over to little tiny Singapore! I’m just hoping that Kaji Yuki or Natsuki Hanae or Ishikawa Kaito or or or many more will come over for a meet and greet session! YESS THROWING MONEY IN THE AIR HAHAHA :’)

Well, till again AFA. See you in 2017!
