AFA-X press preview

Hey Y'all

How was AFA-X for everyone?!?!?!

I had a blast!!!!! i hope the senpais at Moe Moe Kyun don't hate me for not being there most of the time. Trust me, i wish i were there having fun with everyone!

I was the main stage emcee throughout AFA-X including the " I love Anisong" concerts so i couldn't be at MMK all the time. BUT i did try to be there as much as my schedule allowed me to!

But with all the craziness going on, i didn't take alot of pictures. Instead i had others helping me with pictures, so you guys gotta wait a little for pictures aight.

I'M SOOOOO SORRY bout that!

Oh, and you guys know how lazy i am with blogging.. so i created a Facebook page for quicker updates and its easier to talk and interact with everyone there.

please JOIN!

-->Its just to the RIGHT.

But let's try doing the AFA-X press preview that was on the 12th november with guest appearance by the "I LOVE ANISONG" artists and AFA-X guest~

I was emceeing the event along with Danny Choo and my co-host Daisuke cyan.

*pictures credits to Danny's blog, Ani-culture, Alafista*

The Press Preview was held in the early afternoon on the 12th november where only folks of the press and media were invited to.
So i'm here to share with you guys what went down during that time!!

.

Got there bright and early 9am for the stage rehearsal and morning greetings to the artists. The stage rehearsal was quite the sight, we had 38 artists on stage excluding the the emcees and translator! the stage crew had quite the headache sorting out the arrangement and to top it off we had a last minute change in arrangement 5minutes before the real deal~

But here we go!

Shawn Chin a.k.a BOSS MAN! introducing what we can expect this year at AFA-X!

.

Danny Choo on stage! I tested him on his Singlish and as expected he passed with Flying colors!

.

.

All the artists on stage! From Danny's viewing point

.

Here's who i interviewed in the press preview

Cosplayers: KANAME, AIRA, ALODIA

Kaname is hella good looking as usual! Kaname was supposed to cosplay"Okita Souji from Hakuouki", we talked before and he said he'll do it. but... he's forgiven since he had a good excuse "Singapore doesn't allow Katanas" but he said he'll do it if he can find the katana here. hohoho. i wanna see Okita!!!

Aira is gorgeous! tall, skinny and her nose is perfect! She's a really nice girl as well, really independent and mature. i drooled at her black rock shooter cosplay >_<~~~

Alodia~ was good to see her again! i'm still blinded by her beauty! she should just go into mainstream modelling and acting! she's tooooo pretty not to. oh and it was great to see Tita (aunty) again! always so friendly and sweet!

.

First time in singapore: ANGELA

Atsuko-san is small! i never imagined her to be shorter than me but her voice trumps everything! Katsu onnisama is the nicest guy! he has the cutest smile and he's always joining in the stage programs sitting down in the front row. (did you guys notice? he was there at the Madrock scramble screening as well)

.

3rd time and hopefully not the last: MAY'N

I love this girl! its my 3rd time seeing her and she's sooo cute! its been a few months since i last saw her at the Malaysia asia tour~ she likes my black hair! *thank god* she couldnt recognize me at first but once i called her she went "aaaah! Yoshimi cyan! you changed your hair color again! you look more ladylike now!"

May'n never fails to awe me in the performances, she changes 180degrees when she's on stage.

.

.

and of course the one everyone's waiting for: SCANDAL

Craps! the girls are tiny! Haruna's shorter than me! imagine that! i never would have imagined that, she looks tall in videos! Tomomi is crazy skinny and the girls look dang good!!

.

.

Danny interviewed

AKB48

man i couldnt focus on who i should look at. i didn't talk to many, i spend most time talking to Miyazawa Sae. she's a real darling. talked to Akimoto Sayaka and Kasai Tomomi a little as well. only said my greetings to everyone's favorite Mayuyu (ok..her ASS is PERFECT! i wanna smack it! lol). everyone was really nice and well they're all school girls so they were on their phones a lot during rehearsals.

one last thing to note, the girls look WAY better in real life. oh yea and Tomomi resembles Dawn yang 98%.

.

.

Milky holmes

the look way better in real life, and their life performance was GOOOOD! the costumes don't do them justice at all >_<

.

.

Jam Project

I'm still suffering from POST JAM-PROJECT!!!! I want more of them!!! Fukuyama-san is still my favorite, he reminds me of santa clause "ROCK" version! but saying that, they're ALL really nice and friendly. they are all so warm and accommodating!

.

.

Aniki

he's back! I don't care what others say but Aniki deserves all the love and respect from ALL otakus! he single handedly created and started Anisong and i love him for that. he might be getting old but he's still got it!

Group pictures with the Emcees as well!

After the press preview, each artist has individual media interview later on and i went back to the hotel to rest before coming back in the evening for the AKB48 concert

I'll blog on AFA-X Day 1 soon!

4more days to AFA-X

Hey Y'all

AFA-X is in 4 days!!

Everyone at the sozo office is mad rushing finishing up the final details and its exciting to be part of the whole craziness. Its been a year since i've started working with Sozo and its been nothing short of amazing.

From the staffs that are incredibly talented and hardworking, to the impeccable executions of events and of course how much they all love Anime and Japanese pop culture.

And once again, the biggest event of them all is happening in the next 4days!!! Although rehearsals starts in 2days ^_^

a

I’m so honoured to be working with such extraordinary individuals. They are soooo underrated and for those who are complaining, you can all “shut the fu*k up and shove that head up your a*s" because none of ya’ll can do the work these people can.

.

.

and on that note:

I hope everyone's looking forward to Moe Moe Kyun this year!

Check out the ANIME VERSION of us girls!!

i'm the one in the middle (the one that looks like Taiga from Toradora). Even my height is reflected in my anime character. i'm the shortest of the lot! and i'm the student council president >_<~

I'll be updating soon!

Love

Series: AFA post dinner

Now to end off my AFA 09 experience is
The Post AFA 09-Dinner


After the whole event ended on Sunday,

http://ameblo.jp/mayn-blog/entry-10394656669.html


Can you spot who's who?!?!






MayN's Dancers

Top: Takayuki, Yumie, Ken
Bottom: Junko






Super cute Yumie~
She was suppose to fly in with MayN and the other dances on thursday morning but she forgot her passport and took the later flight that day~ lol SUPER CUTE!!





Check out Takayuki's
SUPER SIDE MOON WALK~~

way cool~~~~
guy who dances are SMOKING HOT!!
always a plus point if you know how to shake it~hehehe





Danny Choo and his signature food pictures with a figurine~
Lucky star's Kagami is here with us today~!!

The DURIAN TEST!!

Kaname's first try of DURIAN

the smell did put him off a little,
but after tasting it, he apparently really liked it ^_^~

MayN's second time eating durian~
she eats it with a spoon!! definitely a first for me, never knew you could eat durians with spoons.
Lol~ civilized

God of guitar Fukuyama having a go at our tropical fruit as well

Am still in love with his hair~~

Woot~~
Fan service time!!




Kaname on his knees feeding his princess Tomomi
you cannot even start to imagine how red Tomo-cyan was getting when this happened! LOL
Tomo dont worry we videoed it down! for your viewing pleasure anytime!

I was fed by Kaname as well~~~ >_<
major awkwardness!!!!





Of course Miyake is not left out!

Kaname & MMK epicness~~~!!

check out our expressions~! priceless ^_^

Back to UBER Kaname

Man... he looks cuter and prettier than me in this picture!!!

oh well.. that goes to show why he has thousands of screaming fangirls!!

__________________________________________________________

To top off the awkward post-kaname feeding session and

After Takayuki's super side moon walk dance....
We were asked to re-perform our performance in the afternoon.

Mayn and the other guests couldnt make it to see our performance earlier that day and
so kindly ask us to perform for them right then

and since its the last night in singapore, we gladly did it for them

but even with that, it didnt shed off a single percent of
MOST EMBARASSING moment of my life~
It was in front of professional dancers and well known artists like MayN herself and Jam Project's Fukuyama Yoshiki

it was embarassing for sure but an experience i'll never forget~ ^_^
its not everyday you get asked by your idol to perform for them~

___________________________________________________________

THANK YOU SPEECH~

Thanks to SOZO and the awesome AFA team i had the best experience being involved in this one of a kind event!
I was fortunate to meet wonderful people with great personalities and even greater jobs.
Learn about their job and what they do has been a god-sent bonus this job came with.


Spending time with Danny choo has been incredible! he's one of the funniest guy i met who possess many interesting talents! I now adore him dare i say more than his infamous shoe designer daddy Jimmy choo!
LOVELY LOVELY!!


Meeting and getting to know MayN and Aniki has been a dream fufilled!

Aniki's been my idol since i started watching anime!
its hard not to idolize Aniki if your a rabid fan of anime like i am >_<~ MayN ~! omg she's such an inspriration!
after being an audience to her rehearsals and hearing her live
she's completely different when she's on stage.
she's pretty much a goofball off stage but she gets on stage and the lights are on
she becomes this super diva that omitts this aura that makes you stare in awe!

Boss Shawn, PEI PEI and everyone else at SOZO
THANK YOU!!
Sankyuu very much!!~~




But
All good thing must come to an end
well at least for 2009!

Till AFA 2010 ~!!!

I hope you guys enjoyed this mini-series coverage from my own AFA 09 experience~
