After almost a month, I finally uploaded a new cover! This time I decided to sing Real by Rev.from DVL. It's been one of the songs that I just love lately and I really wanted to cover this. It's not the best to be honest but I tried.

My experience at the Johnny's Shop
So continuing with my idol shop posts, today's post will be about going to the Johnny's shop. It was when I was 12, the time when I was just starting off as a Hey! Say! JUMP fan. I learned that there was a Johnny's Shop and since I was going to Japan, why not if I go there? I was imagining that there would be posters, uchiwas, goods, just basically things that they would sell at a concert. It was not what I imagined at all. The store was small(the one I went to was Osaka), despite being a school day, it was very crowded, and they mainly sold pictures. I really wanted to buy the type of goods that you could get at a concert so I was a little disappointed. So I looked for pictures and it was hard for me to choose the ones that I really wanted. I'm very picky with pictures so that's the reason why. So I chose out a few and when I was lining up and it was my turn to pay, I didn't know what register I was called upon so I was panicking. Luckily, my aunt was there so she told me where to go. That was kind of embarrassing. To end this post, I was very disappointed with the store. I was able to get my pictures pretty fast unlike the H!P store but it just doesn't have a variety of things. Although it may have changed because I haven't been there for almost 6 years but I guess it might just be better to go to an unofficial one or a used idol shop.

The time when I almost never wanted to go back to the Hello Project Store
So when I went to Japan over a year ago, I was lucky to be able to stay at Tokyo for a day and since we weren't in a rush or anything to go to Osaka, we decided to go to Akihabara. I was thinking of Akihabara to be this otaku land but it's pretty normal. At the same time, we didn't look at a lot of the stores there.
Anyways, I was able to go to the Hello Project Store there. It was like this huge dream of mine to go to the H!P store for a few years. And I finally got to go. But since I was with my very impatient brother, I didn't have the most nicest time there. As soon as I got there, I kind of figured that something bad might happen. Just from the beginning, I was having a hard time finding the form where you write the numbers of the pictures. Also I didn't realize that there was a form in English which I regret not taking that instead. Because I was with people, I felt the need to pick the pictures I want in 5 minutes. So I tried to pick them out as fast as I can. Then when I chose my pictures and lined up to pay, I was told by the cashier that there was a error and to check to see if the picture wasn't sold out or anything. So I did and yes indeed it was sold out. A lot of things were sold out when I went there. But I was sure that I checked to see if things were sold out but I guess I didn't check enough. So I had to line up again, and it was pretty awful. The guys in front of me had probably over $100 worth of pictures and everything so it took forever for the cashiers to type the numbers and give them a receipt. It took probably over an half an hour just for that, and after I paid, I had to wait for an hour to just get 4 photos. I was pretty dang frustrated about it. Also I only bought 4 photos but the total price was 3,000 yen. I guess it was because I bought some pictures that weren't out till the next day or something but I never picked it up and I honestly didn't care because I just wanted to leave. A interesting thing I realized there was that I was the only girl shopping at the H!P store. It was awkward. So I don't want anyone to think the store is crappy. This is just my personal experience and I never really had good experiences at Idol shops(I wonder why I still want to go to them). The store itself was pretty big and it had so many things so if anyone is going there, buy things to your hearts content and don't be cheap like me. Also make sure to triple check if a good is sold out. You will know if there's a thing on the picture. I will continue with my idol shop experience by talking about the Johnny's store and how crowded it was.

The Amount of Ants that are in my room
This actually happened a few days ago and I already mentioned it on my last post but, ants invaded my room. I don't see a lot of them anymore although a bunch of them were on the floor a few days ago. Anyways since I don't want this post to be almost the same thing as the last one, I will write about what I've been watching on YouTube lately. Lately, I've been watching room tour videos. It gives me ideas on what other people's rooms look like and I feel like compared to theirs, my room isn't nice enough. But as long as it's comfy, it doesn't matter right? Onto my point, I get influenced pretty easily on videos like this so it makes me want to do my own room tour video.
Also I've been watching haul videos/johnny's fangirl vids. Watching the Johnny's fangirl videos, it makes me feel weird and that I'm not a big enough fan. Also it's different from what I usually watch which has a lot of editing and they spend a lot of time making it. The fangirl vids, they don't have any editing and I'm sure they upload it as soon as they were done filming. I'm not saying that everyone should edit their videos to make it perfect, it's just been a while since I've seen a video that is just fresh and haven't been touched. Another thing I want to point out is that it's different for me to see Japanese fans making videos on their favorite Johnny's groups. They seem so typical to me and they're so lucky to be able to go to the Johnny's shop. I've only been there once a really long time ago
and honestly don't want to go there again unless they move into a bigger store(well the one in Osaka, don't know about the other places). But I recommend the Hello Project store because they have not just pictures but goods, posters etc. To wrap this up even though I don't think I said what I really wanted to say but I can't really explain it, Japanese fans are lucky and they're more girly and royal to their idols more than myself. Also I should write about my experience about going to the Hello Project store next and how it almost made me never want to go there ever again(although I want to because I didn't buy ENOUGH things). I know, I'm just weird like that.

Post Valentines Day
Yesterday as everyone knows, was Valentines Day. I didn't do anything special to be honest. I just had Five Guys for lunch and I felt like I got a cold. Today, I feel sort of better but it probably wasn't a good idea to clean my room cause it involved a lot of dust and I think I might be allergic to dust. Anyways, after I finishing one of my shelves, ants started to show up. There's been a few ants here and there for a while but for some reason, more ants to started appear. So my mom set up this thing to kill it and it's a pretty interesting view right now. So yeah, this has been my boring weekend.

A Lazy Weekend
Lately, I've been running out of ideas of what to post on this blog so today I will talk about my boring weekend. So, my weekends are usually pretty chill. I really don't want to do anything even if I have homework. And today, I was able to catch on Kamen Rider Drive. I get behind pretty easily because if I wait for the episodes then I just don't feel like watching it anymore. Also, I watched BONJOUR Sweet Love Patisserie. It's only 5 minutes long but I feel like it's long enough and it's actually pretty interesting. So I guess that's it for this post. I'll try to post more even though they might be boring. And to completely wrap this up, I'm currently working on a cover. I'm trying my best to upload at least 2 covers a month. And no it's not a Valentine's Day cover. I just don't have the time to learn anything new by Valentine's Day.

Colorful Days
So yesterday, I uploaded a new cover! My goal this year is to upload at least 2 videos a month and I barely made it. So this time I decided to sing Colorful Days by LinQ. Those who don't know who LinQ is, they are a idol group from Kyushu. I think they're pretty talented for such a large group. On to my recording story, this song was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The pitch for this song was kind of low so I had problems with pitch. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy!
