Hello my blog that I haven't used almost in a year
Ooooops ( ´艸｀)
I haven't died but I just haven't felt like blogging...
FB, twitter and insta are my main some venues these days
Lot's have happened since my last entry...
Like my second trip to Japan, it was an experience
I always miss back there...
What is happening now:
work, work, work..
and little bit jrock minion type of things
Also I have been going little bit back to my roots towards Finnish rock and metal
Japanese music is still of course a thing I listen to, but sometimes I need a change in my musical scenery.
And then there is the curious interest of gamers in YouTube, they keep me entertained these days. I highly recommend you to check out Markiplier and Jack Septiceye in YT
It's deep winter now in Finland and I hate it as much as ever, maybe a bit more though (＞＜;)
So there you go, me not dead and life goes on... I can't say I'll blog more often cuz I probably won't but maybe sometimes???
Week after ADAMS live I again travel to Helsinki, with my sister and niece this time...
Since my wingwoman didn't make it I had to ask Emmi's help, who so generously helped us yay so she put the line in order at the venue while I was picking up the band from the airport
And oh lord was I nervous... first I took bus to the airport, which was there the same time the plane landed, then I had to find the right gate... and when I waited for them I freaked out many times over that if I was at the right place or not lololol luckily I have worked with Paula from Kanzen Music before so when I spotted her, I was so relieved, all was well XDDD and since I had called a taxi before we just herded the band to get their gear into the big, big taxi :D
Then drive to Gloria, pay for the cab, get Niksu to open the backdoor for us. I would be helping Paula with the merch table (oh dear, I am so bad at math but no one else was there so I thought I better help her)
Going out to see if all was well, saying hi to few ppl ^^ then back to work... I was going to be taking the VIP's in, so I needed to know how that worked... also the soundcheck was slightly delayed... so we started a bit later than expected..
VIP's in, poster to them and then line for them to the taking of pics part. Taking the pics took time and others were still waiting outside.... Well all in all it went great though timetable was a bit off... And I was fine at the merch table, ppl were nice and not giving me stress like in the previous show
And then it was time for the opening act In Shade and they were good and perfect to open up for heidi.
I went backstage at some point during the opening act to pester heidi. members gomen nasai, but I wanted a pic with them :D and the guys were so nice always smiling :D though English was non existent... I was mostly chotto matte and then go get Emmi to translate stuff that needed to be said during the souncheck or anything else XDDD
Then it was time for the main event and the live was very powerful, the guys gave their all on the stage and played old and new songs, it was great!! This was more my kind of music and I do own few heidi. albums before this... Even the audience was really into it and the atmosphere was laid back (though there could have been more ppl there)
Then after show was time for the signing session for all the fans... I too went to the end of line which the guys found a bit amusing but hey I wanted a memory too :D
after that I was in a bit of a hurry, cuz my train was leaving soon.... but my oneechan had ordered a taxi for us, so after I said quick farewell to Paula and Emmi and hollered mata ne and arigato to the smiling and waving guys, I had to ruuuuun :D
These came home with me from the live... the shirt was really prettyyyy my autographs are inside the cd and the poster was a gift, thank you Paula
So that was it... day in a life of a minion more or less....
These few weeks have been so busy 0.0 at free time and in work... and now I got week before I leave to Japan and things are still hanging open with that too....
So time for a small report... day in a life of jrock minion part.1
I travelled to Helsinki from my far far away home to be minion for Nyanko Scandal Factory
Job tasks for minion: make sure the line for the show is organized, making passes for artists, press and staff, waiting by the backdoor so the band can find it's way to right place...(they were going to the wrong direction :D) and paying for the cab and then getting some food for them... then organizing the merch table with Aurelie, and making sure the light things were okay during bands change....
Then ppl coming inside... and woooooo I was so busy at the merch table and if Iona hadn't been there with me I would have died, nearly did anyway.... So many ppl and no exchange money and with all of those discount pack and whatnot... phew I am lucky I survived...I said I will never do that again (was proved wrong, but more about that in the part. 2)
I was selling almost the whole time the opening act was playing, might as well because man... those guys...they weren't too good...they were kinda bad, and the mc's were bad.... oh dear.....not good...
And then was turn for ADAMS and the show was something else, they really aren't my type of music but it was ok... I didn't mind listening to it, and it was kinda feel good music you know... but since I am the rock chick it didn't give me what I need from music when I truly love it... Difficult to explain, but maybe someone will understand :D
But the guys were nice and it was nice to work with them... Also it was nice to meet Aurelie and super nice to meet Iona again!!!And Emmi and also my wingwoman Reina :D the show might have been all about BL but what made the show run was definitely girl power...or perhaps rock chick power XDDDD
Iona and Reina ( ´艸｀)
I bought two albums and got the pic signed, I needed a memory from the show and besides their photographer is great one, such a beautiful pictures!!!
So in the end when we got the weird food thingy with us we left for the hotel and it was late when we finally had the opportunity to sleep.. Me, Reina and Iona shared lovely room and others were in their own rooms
But I was so wired up that I couldn't sleep too good though the room was really nice, thanks to the venue :D
Morning came and eventually we had to say goodbyes... hugsies and then bye bye maybe we meet again soon....
my autographs are inside the cd and the poster was a gift, thank you Paula 
maybe we meet again soon....
