UlasanAnime.com – The Tokyo Travelog 2009 series continues with a focus on the highly anticipated Nana Mizuki Live Diamond 2009 concert.
Before diving into the concert details, the author shares a brief culinary interlude, mentioning Kyuushu Jangara Ramen. Despite enjoying it immensely, the author still holds a slight preference for NYC’s Ippudo ramen, acknowledging the different value propositions of each experience. This serves as a lighthearted “otaku eats” segment for the day.
The main event was Nana Mizuki’s Live Diamond 2009 concert, her largest venue and show to date. The author expresses significant gratitude to “danie” for providing the tickets and acting as a central contact point for meeting other international fans from Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond. This international camaraderie is highlighted as a positive aspect of attending such events.
The author also references “danie’s” detailed shopping log, which documented a 10-hour wait for merchandise. This information provided valuable insights for the author, even prompting some lighthearted jokes at danie’s expense.
A brief mention is made of “Issa-sa” from Tondemo nothing, indicating a connection within the anime and idol fan community.
The author acquired five “super” orange glowsticks from the group of international fans, finding them incredibly useful. This acquisition also served as a moment of reflection on the potential for excessive spending on “wotagei” (idol fan) gear, a path the author seems hesitant to fully explore beyond current purchases.
The chant “CHU-LU CHU-LU CHU-LU PA-YA-PA” is included, likely a reference to a song or chant associated with Nana Mizuki’s concerts, adding a touch of fan culture to the narrative.
Experiencing the concert live for the first time revealed a significant difference compared to watching video recordings. The author describes a feeling of satisfaction mixed with a subtle yearning for more after the show. While acknowledging the concert was “great,” there was a lingering sense that the enjoyment could have been deeper, like squeezing every last drop of juice from a fruit.
Overall, the author had a fantastic time and spent a considerable amount of money. However, there’s a recognition that more could have been done to maximize the fun and engagement during the event.
A specific note is made for “Moyism,” advising them to bring plenty of money to Otakon, suggesting it’s an event where significant spending is expected.
