UlasanAnime.com – The author reflects on their past travel experiences and upcoming trip to Japan in April 2014, detailing a packed itinerary focused on anime-related events.
The author reminisces about a previous trip in April where they visited locations related to PA Works, Coorie, and Tamayura. This trip, lasting about 10 days, was more relaxed, focusing on enjoying local food and leisure, with some anime movie viewings. While enjoyable, they felt it could have been more productive with better organization or a more adventurous spirit.

This year’s trip promises to be significantly more event-driven. Traveling with a group of foreigners, the author plans to attend 2-3 theater greetings and re-watch two specific anime movies on multiple occasions. The itinerary also includes attending a radio recording and at least five concerts, with the possibility of more if they decide to explore the underground idol scene. This packed schedule means less time for activities like visiting the Kancolle cafe and limited opportunities for shopping and dining exploration, though the author is confident these aspects will naturally fall into place.
The confirmed events for the upcoming trip are listed below, with some marked as TBD (To Be Determined):
- The IDOLM@STER Movie: Kagayaki no Mukougawa e – Shinjuku Wald9, February 14 (TBD)
- The IDOLM@STER Movie: Kagayaki no Mukougawa e – Theater Greeting, Saitama Movix, February 15

The author expresses regret over several missed opportunities due to scheduling conflicts. Events like WUG handshake sessions, Yui Ogura handshake sessions, the Milk Lariat S conflicting with KOTOKO’s concert, and Kanon 2014 conflicting with Yanagi Nagi’s live performance are mentioned as events they wished they could attend.
Beyond the scheduled events, the author has other plans, including revisiting specific locations like A-Button and Garten. They acknowledge that their blog updates might become less frequent during the two-week trip but assure readers that non-IM@S related content will still be posted.
