J-Melo Fan Meeting

Today was another day-off well-spent with my fellow seiyuu fan friends, whom I consider as an important family.

I have to be really honest here. At first, I have totally no idea about J-Melo and who Inoue Joe is. /crying because we have no NHK World channel okay.../ I was told by a friend that he is a very good singer and I'm like, "Oh okay! I want to see for myself what kind of a good singer he is." And no kidding, he's really good and also funny too! And being part of this J-Melo fan meeting was one of the best experiences I had this year.

We arrived at the venue earlier than expected and we saw a lot of Filipino J-pop fans everywhere. The venue was kind of small but enough to accommodate us. Seeing a lot of Filipino fans here, you could say that Philippines actually has a big J-Pop fan base and it would be really nice and totally appreciated if some J-Pop artists or bands could come over here in our country and have their live shows. /ehem/ Perfume please /ehem/

And we got to see Inoue Joe in person. He's really nice and funny. He likes to joke around and make the crowd laugh. And his English is so good too. He is just too... amazing.

During the fan meeting, a lot of Filipino fans shared their favorite J-pop artists and bands, and how they have been inspired by these wonderful people. And actually, one of them got to see Perfume live in Singapore and I'm really jealous... Just wow, okay! And some of them sang some Japanese songs and they sang really good!

One of the funny parts about the fan meeting was that most of the staffs are speaking in both Japanese and English and Inoue Joe actually cracked a joke about it.

Japanese staffs: *talked about blocking and camera related stuff in Japanese*

Inoue Joe: Oh sorry guys! We were just talking about dinner here.

Some people who can understand Japanese: No, Inoue-san! Don't lie to us please. /laughs

And so the fan meeting ended with the crowd laughing a lot and enjoying the night with Inoue Joe and the Japanese staff. We had our picture with Inoue Joe taken by one of the staffs.

With Inoue Joe. He's really funny and amazing!

After the fan meeting, we took the last train going to SM North Edsa to have our late dinner there. And then we went home after that.

Oops! Sorry with my face... It's just that it's been a while.

I actually got home really late so my parents were really worried about me. After taking the jeepney on my way home, I found my parents waiting for me at the corner of the street. They fetched me, and I got a short scolding for coming home really late.. Well, it was partially my fault because I didn't inform them beforehand about the event. /sorry

After getting home, I told my big brother about my plan of probably getting JLPT this year since I just brought home a lot of brochures related to it and maybe it's about time I take JLPT this year but.... I'm not sure... I mean, I am not proficient enough in Japanese and I still have a long way to go.

Today was really awesome!! I am a little tired and I still have a job interview to ace tomorrow. So please wish me luck! (　ノＴｗＴノ）
