Love Live Series 9th Anniversary Love Live Fest

During my latest trip to Japan I also attended the first day of the Love Live Series 9th Anniversary Love Live Fest concert.



In Akihabara Station they had this giant ad for the event.




The ad featured Aqours from Love Live Sunshine.




μ's from Love Live.




And the members of Love Live Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.




While traveling around I also saw ads for the Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars game in various locations.




One with Honoka.




And another with Yoshiko.




I also saw Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars decorated JR Yamanote Line trains.




Kasumi and Kotori.




Kanan and Shizuku.




Karin and one with Honoka, Chika and Ayumu.




Mari and Hanayo.




Setsuna and Hanamaru.




I got some closeups as well.




Starting with Honoka from μ's.




Rin.




Maki.




Eli.




And Nico.




From Aqours I got pictures of Chika.




You.




Riko.




Ruby.




And Yoshiko.




And finally from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Emma.




And Rina.




The concert itself took place on January 18th and 19th at Saitama Super Arena.




I only attended the first day though.




I entered the arena at entrance B here.




No pictures allowed inside during the concert, so this one is from the official Love Live twitter. I was sitting towards the left upper side in the 2F 200 level. My first time at a Japanese live concert and I saw performances by μ's, Aqours, Saint Snow and Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.




After the concert I got pictures of some flower stands on my way out.
















Outside it had become dark and decorative lights were turned on.




Here's a picture of the set of clear files included with the overseas travel package to see the concert. In the picture is also an advertisement booklet I picked up, a guide on how to read the concert ticket and a hotel information flyer.



No location map since it's no longer there.

These location were visited on 2019/12/29, 2020/01/01, 2020/01/17 and 2020/01/18.

Weathering With You - Tabata

Another place shown in Weathering With You is a hill leading up from the south exit of Tabata Station. Image from Trailer 2 - 00m48s Hodaka is walking up the hill. It was difficult to get everything seen in the background in the same picture. Image from Toei Bus Commercial - 00m19s I got another shot from a road running alongside the hill, but then the trees here blocked some of the view. Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m39s Hodaka looking up the hill. Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m40s Reverse view. Image from 15 Second Trailer 1 - 00m05s Both Hodaka and Hina at the hill. Image from US Subtitled Trailer - 02m07s Something zooms up the hill here. Image from Trailer 2 - 01m43s Gets closer to Hodaka and Hina. Image from Trailer 2 - 01m44s And seems to hit Hina. Image from Trailer 2 - 01m44s Somebody had left a yellow umbrella here, but it didn't match the one in the movie. Location map: This location was visited on 2019/12/29 and 2020/01/18.

Your Name - Shinkaisansya Shrine

The kagura-den stage shown in Your Name is supposedly based on one located at Shinkaisansya Shrine in real life. The closest train station is Usuda Station, but it's quite far and there's no rental bicycle places nearby, so it might be better to rent a car to get here. Image from Your Name - 14m31s Full view of the stage. Image from Your Name - 14m37s Side of the building. Image from Your Name - 14m48s In real life the back of the stage is seen from this angle instead of the front. Image from Your Name - 15m00s Since the position of the stage isn't the same it's difficult to match this shot. Image from Your Name - 15m03s The insides of the roof is different here. Image from Your Name - 15m10s Back of the stage. Image from Your Name - 15m16s There's another building right in front of the stage in real life. Image from Your Name - 15m22s Yotsuha and Mitsuha preparing to make kuchikamizake. Image from Your Name - 15m32s Tessie and Sayaka watches. Image from Your Name -...

KyoAni & Do Shop Revisit

Since I was in the area I also checked out the KyoAni & Do Shop again. The building is still the same. But with new banners. This one is for the KyoAni movie year with Sound! Euphonium: Our Promise: A Brand New Day, Free! -Road to the World- Dream and Violet Evergarden the Movie. And another banner for the KyoAni Do Fan Days 2019. Just Tsurune goods on display this time. A different Sound! Euphonium: Our Promise: A Brand New Day poster on display. Info about the opening hours. KyoAni movie year standee and Sound! Euphonium: Our Promise: A Brand New Day poster inside as well. The standee had creator messages on it. Warning: This is an extra large picture to show more details. They still had the same Violet Evergarden items on display. I took some closeup pictures of the Violet Evergarden items this time. Here's one of the shikishi sign board signed by Yui Ishikawa. And they still had the Free! items on display as well. I also got another picture of the main Kyoto Animation off...
