皆さんこんにちは〜また日本に行っちゃったですね。突然に仕事の為に出張していました！でも、暇になると色んなイベントに参加できました！また楽しい経験だったから、ちょっと報告したいと思います！
Hi all! I went to Japan again 😫 I was suddenly sent for a work trip, but luckily when I finished up, I was able to attend a bunch of events! This time, because it was a particularly great experience, I decided to write a report!
仕事が終わると、すぐに渋谷で"観光"していました〜この子達はすごいですね？
Right after work, I went for a bit of "sightseeing"~ Aren't these girls great?
最初のイベントはみりたん！今年は初めて行くのに、チケットを３枚（東京両方部と高松）取れました！東京のコーデはビリビリポロ〜〜
The first event was Miritan! Even though this year was my first attending Miritan, I luckily got into 3 of the venues (Tokyo Part 1 and 2 and Takamatsu). My co-de for Tokyo was the Biribiri Polo~~
東京の現場の辺り虎ノ門駅に行ったことないけどあまりすることがないんです😫イベントの間にスターバックスとローソンで時を過ごしました。
So for the Tokyo sessions, the area that the event was held was Toranomon station. I've never been there but it's pretty dead lol. Between events I killed time at Starbucks and Lawson.
イベントの流れは、みんなでボンバマンをプレイコーナー、トークコーナー、とライブでした。ボンバマンをよくやってたのに、プレイコーナーに呼ばれませんでした。残念ですね（笑）そして、みりんちゃんはピアノを引くのが上手ですよ！「あした地球がこなごなになっても」と「ORANGE RIUM」のアレンジに感動して、「熱帯夜」を聞くと少し泣いてしまいました😢ラストのみりかる★ファンタジーが懐かしくて可愛かったですね。最後に、イベント終わり後にみりんちゃんが皆にポストカードをくれました！短い時けど、みりんちゃんに会えてびっくりして、嬉しすぎました！
The event basically had a gaming segment where she randomly selected fans to play Bomberman with her, a talk segment where she answered previously submitted fan questions, and a live performance! Though I've been playing Bomberman my entire life, I unfortunately wasn't called up lol. I was also really surprised with how well Mirin played piano! The arrangement of Ashita Chikyuu ga Konagona ni Nattemo and ORANGE RIUM were beautiful, and I got a little choked up hearing her cover of Speed's Nettaiya. And her last performance of Mirikaru Fantasy was so cute and nostalgic! Finally, at the end she surprised everyone by having a short postcard distribution meeting (on the way out everyone lined up and was personally given a birthday postcard from Mirin). Even though we each got a few seconds to interact with her I was really happy we did get to meet!
スタンド花（？）はきれいですね？
The flower stand was pretty amazing.
そして物販でスペシャルセット買いました！みりんちゃんの画像がいっぱいありますが、悪くないと思います😍
And of course I got the special set with the shopping bag lol There seems to be too many images of Mirin here, but that's not a bad thing right?😍
そしてこれはスペシャルセットに付いてる大事なチェキです！この格好がお気に入り、可愛くて、ピアノも入れています〜
And finally the ever important cheki! Included when you get the special set! I really like Mirin's look here, she is super cute and the toy piano is in the picture too〜
（２部はmiritchで放送された以外、大体同じです。それでも毎回感動しました！）
(Tokyo Part 2 was basically the same except it was broadcast on miritch and had different fan questions, feel free to check it out if you're a subscriber. And even then, I was impressed both times~)

次の日、なんとか小松（石川）にいました！なんででしょうか？？実は、北陸アイドルフェスティバルに行きました！あそこで、先月のTIFで初めて見たアイドル空野青空（あおにゃん）が出演して、会いに行きたかったんです！新幹線でも東京から遠いなのに、行きました！
The next day, I somehow ended up in Komatsu! Why would I even... well actually, it's because I wanted to see the Hokuriku Idol Festival! At this festival I came to see Sorano Aozora aka Aonyan! At TIF last month, I had seen her performance for the first time and was so impressed I became an instant fan. So of course I had to go meet her 😂 Despite being pretty far even by bullet train, I went!
イベントは小松駅で開催されました。降りると、すぐに音楽と声が聞かれました、なんかすごいテンション感じました（笑）
The festival had many smaller scale idol groups and was held directly at the Komatsu train station (fun fact, the HIF planning committee personally handbuilt the main stage for the girls to perform on!) As soon as I got off the train, I immediately heard music and voices and started to get excited!
ホームの下のステージ！本当に地下アイドル感じでした！（あおにゃんのツイッターからこの写真を借りてすいません！）
The stage was directly under the train platform! It had the real underground idol feeling! (Borrowed this photo from Aonyan's Twitter!)
色んなアイドルグループが出ました！アイドル達が現場で自由に遊んでいたから、すごい楽しい空気でした！
A variety of idol groups appeared at the festival! Some of the girls were actually just wandering around and playing with the fans, so there was a really fun mood all throughout the festival!
そしてこれは会いに行った子です！あおにゃんは可愛いですね？曲と衣装はガンダムに似ています~演奏が元気だったから、みんながすごく盛り上がっていました！今の好きな曲はぐん⤴ぐん⤴∩(ﾟ∇ﾟ∩) わっしょい(∩ﾟ∇ﾟ)∩ It’s Alright!!!（読み方がちょっと難しですね笑）そして、撮影会であおにゃんは優しく喋ってくれました！アメリカから来たと言ったから、なんか驚いたそうでした！また会いたいんです〜
And now, here's the girl I came to see! Don't you think Aonyan is cute? Both her music and costume seem to be Gundam themed (she is a big Gundam fan lol) Her performance was so energetic and got the crowd really hyped up🤘 My favorite song at the moment is "Gun⤴Gun⤴∩(ﾟ∇ﾟ∩) Wasshoi(∩ﾟ∇ﾟ)∩ It’s Alright!!!" (the title is a little hard to read lol) And then, at the photo session she was so nice and chatted with me a lot! She seemed really happy and surprised that I came from America to see her. I hope I can meet her again soon!
