Anime Expo Day 2

I went to the concert! It was unbelievably awesome! I got to AX at about 10, but we stood in line in registration for the second time, because I went with my best friend and her boyfriend, and her boyfriend hadn't registered. Then we walked around the exhibit hall for a while before we got in line to get seating for the MM concert. It was really hot outside >.<, but you could hear the songs they were rehearsing.

Then we sat in the concert hall for 2 hours before the show started. I sat next to a guy from Japan who goes to numerous concerts a year. He's a huge Ai-chan wota, wearing a yellow shirt... and I tried out my Japanese the best I could, but it had been 1 year since I had spoken it so it was pretty broken Japanese >.<. I also hung out with Aaron, who I met in line for the MM tickets, and met Joel. I know that Aaron was a Reina-wota, and it just seemed like Joel was a general fan.

I had a great time there. Here was the setlist:
Mikan
3 2 1 Breaking Out
MC Intros
Shouganai
How Do You Like This Japan
Resonant Blue
Golden Age Medley (the exact medley I think from the all Singles concert)
Love Machine
Resonant Blue Coupling Song (too lazy to look up the title)
Ame ga Furanai .... (apparently this song is about global warming? I had no idea)
Announcements with Yossi (!!!!!) and Tsunku(!) with OPV winners.
3 2 1 Breaking Out Reprise

Some thoughts:
*-I had a great time here, but the audience seemed kind of low energy. I really credit that to the inexperience of some fans, but I know that a lot of people there had no idea who they were, and didn't know their stuff.
*-The girls looked super tired. Their energy wasn't up as high as I've seen in other concerts. I'm guessing they were jet lagged... they only did arrive 3 days before the concert.
*- Junjun's intro was pure win. She said something along the lines of "I came from China, but I'm here with the Japanese group Morning Musume. It is because of this opportunity that I now know that music has no borders." and she did it in English! She's so awesome! I wish I had glow stuff in her image color.
*- Best song: HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS JAPAN? It seemed to have a lot of energy, and it seemed the crowd loved it.

After that, I walked around the exhibit hall some more and then I went to the "Whose Line is it Anime?" That was really funny, but I wish I knew more anime so that way I could enjoy it more. I had to leave this early though and headed over to the Sekai no Melody panel. I had a great time there... they seem like an awesome dub group!

I had a great time that day... ended up going home way too late!
