Burning Communication ~ An Café live in Kobe 2015

When I checked the tour schedule of An Café last year I recognized that they had some lives during our stay in Japan around Christmas time.
So we decided for the 22nd December where they wanted to be in Kobe. At this time we were in Osaka so it was only a stone's throw from there.

Our morning started really bad 'cause of some annoying Chinese tourists at our Café Break. Both morning sets were sold out and Michi's mood was fucked up.

I just did a messy picture >.< I wore nothing special that day but I got the An Café towel from Senja for the live. Thank you so much!
After leaving the hotel we wanted to have a relaxed coffee at our Excelsior to calm down from that bad morning before we wanted to leave for Kobe.
We took the JR Line to Sannomiya and after arriving we tried to find the location. First we took the wrong street but finally we found the VARIT. where the live was held.

It was really hard to find and the sign of the club was so small but in the end we had some time left so we decided to have another coffee and Michi was hungry.
But Michi didn't know what to eat so we ended up in another Excelsior Café at the Ikuta Road.

I tried a tuna sandwich and some ice tea. I didn't feel like going to a concert but while the time passed by I felt more and more excited.
I have never been to an An Café live in Japan before, I just have seen them a few times in Germany so I wondered if it would be a big difference.

Michi and the plastic bag xD

When we went back to the VARIT. a few girls waited outside and we tried to check why they were buying plastic bags but then we understood that we had to do our clothes and hand bags inside.
It was the improvised cloakroom *lol*.

Then we got in line while I observed the Japanese An Café fans. I guess Michi and I were much more older than all of them. I missed the bad Bou cosplayers like in Germany but therefor some girls dressed up in cheap Christmas dresses bought a few minutes ago at the Donki store nearby.
At 06:30 h we entered the club and had to buy some drink marks. Nobody knew why but in the end I was thankful xD

My first mission was to buy some merchandise for my friends GooF and Senja who are big big fans of the band. GooF wanted to have a hoodie and for Senja I had to buy a photo set and a cap. The hoodie was no problem but Senja's desired stuff was sold out. I felt so sorry for her! So I bought a tour shirt and a towel and hoped she would like one of that things.

Because I left over 10,000 Yen I got a cheki for free. I wasn't able to choose which member was on the picture and I'm not into Takuya anymore but it's a nice memory ^^
I put the stuff into a locker and then I was shocked: The club was the smallest I ever went. Even the clubs where An Café played in Germany were much more bigger.
Michi and I were standing at the back and weren't lucky 'cause we had some tall guys in front of us.

The live started with the last single 'Sennen DIVE!!!!!' and I was sooo happy to see An Café again after a long time!
They all looked fantastic and did a really great show! Sometimes I changed places with Michi to have a better view on Kanon while Michi tried to have a focus on Teruki.

Yuuki and Teruki

Miku and Teruki

Teruki and Takuya

Teruki and Kanon

Mostly Teruki postet a lot of pictures during the tour on his Twitter. I love all of the guys, they always make me smile and the live was awesome!
An An Café live is always so much fun, they did some jokes on stage and Yuuki and Kanon also did the obligatory QVC shopping channel show, I was loughing so hard about the two cuties.
And I was surprised that I remembered a lot of furitsuke.

*** I'm not sure about the setlist, maybe I mistook some songs or forgot one or two >.<

For the encore the guys played Jan-Ken-Pon (Rock Paper Scissors) to decide the song. Every member got a song and had to battle against each other.
Takuya won with 'Escapism'. I like that song so I was satisfied with the choice. An Café were on stage for around 2 hours and finally they made the concert shot with all the Cafekko.

After the live we were happy about our drink marks and we got a Smirnoff Ice. It was really iced and it felt so good that we killed that drink within a few seconds.

I was in a really good mood when we went back to the station. We catched a rapid train back to Osaka and had a great memory for our first An Café live in Japan.

An Café will always be in my heart 'cause they helped me to get over a sad time.
I can't await to see them again, maybe next time in Germany? My friends and I are waiting for the next 'Nyappy go around the world' tour !

Bye nyappy! o(≧∀≦)o

Nyappy go around Germany ~ Part 4: Berlin

Good morning in the morning and nyappy o(≧∀≦)o
So here's the final part about the An Cafe live tour 2014 and the end of our small German tour.
Of course it made me sad but also I was excited 'cause the last concert of our tour was held in Berlin, my hometown, so a lot of our friends joined that day so this made it special.

Our flight from Munich back to Berlin went around 7 a.m. in the morning. A taxi took us to the airport and we were happy to leave Munich. On board I enjoyed a wonderful sunrise while Goof was squeezing my and Senja's hands 'cause she's afraid of flying.
But we had a funny moment: A passenger didn't put his seat upright for landing even the crew told so Goof asked him: 'Spräken Sie German?' 
Sorry, not understandable for English speakers *lol*

Goof kissing the ground of Berlin - Tegel xD

Goof was kissing the ground after a safe landing *lol*... Via Alexanderplatz and a short coffee there we went to my place and had a short rest before we started to prepare for our last live.

We decided to wear our tour shirts together. The rest of my outfit was completely off brand. The skirt is from Tally Weijl I coloured from white into turquoise by myself, the belt is second hand and my fringe boots are from a chinese eBay seller, so nothing special xD

My hair was done by Senja again... thank you so much ♥

 After some problems with ladders in Senja's and my tights we went back to Alexanderplatz to meet there Lau and Tine for a fast snack and then we went together to LIDO in Kreuzberg.

In front of the club were waiting a lot of colorful people aaand - never dying out - Bou cosplayer. I missed them on the other lives...NOT! xD
But also we met our friends Hani, Mao and Kukki there and it was time to take some pictures together ^^

We had a lot of fun while waiting for the VIP event and tried out some posing 'cause Senja, Goof and I wanted to make funny pictures with An Cafe that time so we decided for some kind of Superman and Dragon Ball posing. But later about this.

my lovely Lau and me

Then it was time to enter the VIP event. Lau and Tine didn't have VIP tickets so they had to stay outside until the regular open.

We got our presents and then the band members appeared. 
So same procedure as always, we asked questions and An Cafe answered like 'What would you do if it would be the last evening in your life?' Takuya, of course, wanted to spend it at the bar with drinking beer... it reminds me of Shou, ha ha...
Funniest moment was while Teruki told that he and Takuya sometimes running through their hotel room without underwear and I said loud 'WOW!!! *O*' ... Miku was loughing out loud and applouded to me xD

Then it was time for pictures with the band. Senja said (in some kind of Miku English) 'We want to make crazy funny pictures today, okay?' and Yuuki reacted with ape posing... just perfect!
For the last time we chose other member: Goof took Yuuki, Senja our 'absolutely favorite' Miku (I had to lough all the time about this) and I chose cute Teruki.

Kame Hame Ha

The first one with ape pose was too dark >.< but second one was my idea to make the 'Kame Hame Ha' pose of Dragon Ball. Kanon was pleased and very enthusiastic while Takuya was reserved. 


Since that moment I really really love Non-chan much more than any other member!

Superman!

And our last posing was Superman! Kanon just loved it and we left a lasting impression to him... why? I will tell you later ^^

After our pictures we hugged the band (I only gave Teruki a hug), got our CDs and went quickly in the first row. But what the fuck...? There was no barrier between us and the stage o__O

Hani, Mao and Senja took place in front of Kanon and Goof and I wanted to be a last time at Takuya's place. We really just heard his guitar playing, the acoustic was really bad!
Again Miku was hungry but 'let's make special day', we practised a last time with Yuuki a loud 'nyappy' and Takuya's notebook got entangled with his guitar strings *lol*.
Then it was time for Kanon's introduction. But this time he said: 'Ich bin Super-Kanon! Kame Hame Haaaa!!!!'
So I really guess he liked our picture ideas with Superman and Kame Hame Ha posing ^^

The whole live I played security 'cause the idiots behind me wanted to touch the guys all the time and because of no barrier it was just annoying! Also sometimes the members were TOO close to me or, like my nice neighbour-chan said: 'Eeeeh? I had the private parts of Miku in my face!'

Lau's perspective

While the encore Goof recognized that Miku cutted his band shirt in the same way like me...I got a facepalm *lol* ... why Miku? Q___Q

So for the last time the band took a picture with us. Also Hani you can see but Mao who was standing beside Senja wasn't on the focus. So...sorry...we don't have a picture for you today xD (our good, old Germany's Next Top Model insider).

Then the band said goodbye and Takuya threw away his picks in the crowd BUT then I got a magic moment with him: I looked at him, he looked at me and I requested him for his last pick.
He really came close to me and gave it into my hands. I was so shocked that it dumped down through my hand but Goof catched it! YESSSS!

I wanted to give it to Goof anyway so I was really happy for her that she now has a pick of her beloved Takuya ♥ like I promised! So thank you, Taku-chan <3
I just want to have a pick of Kyan Yutaka ... some day! 

Kampai!

After the live Senja and I had a beer and it was sooo refreshing! We said goodbye to the others and took Senja to the station.


Goof stayed one last night at my place before she left, too! I felt empty and lonely the next days and missed everything so bad: my girls, our sayings, the lives, the band...

So... I had a great time and I want to say a big thanks to Senja and Goof. They are just awesome, great, kind, funny, lovely and I was happy to be a part of their tour through Germany with An Cafe.
I love you, girls! ♥ It was the best time ever ... ever ... EVER!
So I hope for a next time... with you and An Cafe... or maybe Golden Bomber? 

Nyappy go around Germany ~ Part 3: Munich

Good morning in the morning and nyappy o(≧∀≦)o
Last weeks I was in Japan so I weren't able to blog but before I will start to write about recent things I will continue with my report about the An Cafe live tour.

Two days before the next live in Munich my grandfather died so I wasn't in a good mood and was looking like shit but my friends and also An Cafe gave me a lot of power during that hard time.
Senja and Goof arrived on Friday in Berlin to celebrate Senja's birthday and so I picked them up 'cause on Saturday noon we wanted to go to Munich together.

In the morning we started to dress up for the live. I chose my Ma*rs set and Senja did my hair again. I was so thankful 'cause she's really a hair styling queen <3

After prepairing ourselves my work mate Kati (big thanks to her) took us to Berlin - Tegel airport by car 'cause she wanted to pick up her husband there so we had a nice private taxi ride.
We arrived just in time!

blurred selfie in the airplane xD

While in Berlin it was sunny and warm in Munich it was just cloudy and cold. Also Goof's suitcase was broken after the flight so we had a bad start in Bavaria.

Because it was very late and we had no idea how to get fast by train to our B&B Hotel in Hallbergmoos we took a taxi. The driver also had no plan so Goof played the living GPS with her smartphone *lol*...

We had a small but clean room...and no time so we just refreshed and then left the hotel to search the bus station. Because we had VIP tickets that day, too we had to be at the Backstage in Munich around 90 minutes before regular open so we really had to hurry up!

...NOT! xD

But we didn't find the right bus station and it was getting later and later. Finally we asked some strangers to help us out and luckily a really kind woman wanted to take us by car to the train station.
We only had a few minutes left to catch the train so she stopped shortly before and we really run across a field! Never did something like that before, ha ha...

So we were happy that in the end everything went well and we arrived in time at the location. We were sooo relieved after the big trouble and tried to calm down.

beautiful girls are beautiful xD

In front of the Backstage we met beside our number fetishist who was asking 'Am I looking good?' (Goof's answer made us loughing so hard, she said: 'With washed hair would be much better!' *loool*) a young girl who went alone to the live.
If I remember right, her name was Katharina and she was really nice so I felt like a big sister and we took care of her a little bit.

The VIP event this time was really interesting 'cause all member of An Cafe asked us some questions like 'Who do you think would be a good father?' or 'Which member is most pevert?' and something like that.
So it was kind of survey and they wanted to tell the answers next day at Nico Nico TV.
Of course we also had the possibility to ask the members, too and I was brave and asked how the feeling is to play at such a small location while playing in Japan at Budokan.
And Teruki answered in such a cute way that I really was in love at this moment *O*

Then it was time to take pictures with the band. My favourite member? Takuya again! And this time I tried to enjoy that moment to be beside him and also gave him the chance to hand out my signed CD without I was running away directly after the picture ^^

And Senja's cam worked so I was able to get a polaroid pic. Yesss! But I guess I forgot to breathe or whatever, I look horrible on the pic >.<
Therefor Senja's and Goof's personal pictures are much cuter ♥

 After taking the picture we went fast in front of the stage. This time Senja also was with us on Takuya's side 'cause left were standing some fat chicks who were bitching around >.<

But nevertheless we had fun! While waiting for the start the people screamed when some staff guys were checking the instruments so we always said:

'Is it the musician or is it the technician? Who knows! The people are pushing, the first row is dragging out, the second row is moving up...awesome!'

The live of course was great! Like the last times Miku was hungry and had SPECIAL DAY, Yuuki asked if we have fun in German and PRACTISED again ONE MORE TIME the 'nyappy' slogan with us and Kanon fell down the stage!

I love it! xD

But Goof was disappointed 'cause we didn't get a pick from Takuya again! So I promised her we will do it in Berlin next day.

 After the encore the band made another picture with the fans so we had to do an 'I'. They wanted to create the word 'AISHITERU' during their tour.

After the live we met Jennyfer and some friends of her so we asked her to take a pic of us and Katharina. Unfortunately it's blurred >.<

Because we were sooo hungry we decided to have some after-live-dinner outside of the Backstage with burger and beer before going back to our hotel.

While eating we recognized Teruki on the first floor of the club and he also saw us and he waved at us. So cute!
Then we said goodbye to Katharina 'cause our flight back to Berlin was going 7 a.m. in the morning.

Next and last stop: Berlin! o(≧∀≦)o
