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.

The Eccentric Family - Hell

While visiting Arima Onsen , Yasaburo gets thrown into hell in The Eccentric Family. Some of the places shown in hell are located in Tokyo, so I went and had a look. Image from S2E6 - 04m51s This is the view from Shohei Bridge towards the west in Kanda-Sudachō near Akihabara. Image from S2E6 - 14m30s Yasaburo is next shown wandering around in Inokashira Park. Image from S2E6 - 14m33s This railway bridge got Keio Inokashira Line trains running on it. Image from S2E6 - 15m08s There's no ramen stand here like in the show. Image from S2E6 - 15m11s This is at the Keio Inokashira-kōen Station platform. There's more modern looking trains running here in real life. Image from S2E6 - 15m15s Closeup of the train doors. I've marked a path from the Shohei Bridge in Kanda-Sudachō to this station in the map below. Image from S2E6 - 15m21s Yasaburo runs towards the station.

Sakura Miku - Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival

While in Hirosaki checking out all the Flying Witch locations, I also got a few pictures of the Sakura Miku and Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival collaboration. At Hirosaki Station they had a giant Sakura Miku poster at the location I saw the Flying Witch ad back in 2016. Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival poster and Sakura Miku wall scroll inside the tourism information office at the station. Ad with Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun, the Hirosaki Castle mascot. Lots of Sakura Miku themed tourist maps of Hirosaki. If you wanted a Flying Witch map you had to ask. Sakura Miku decoration on the train station door. At Hirosaki Apple Park they had this cardboard cutout of Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun. Long wall scroll inside the Apple Park shop. They had lots of Sakura Miku items for sale here. Including t-shirts. Clear files. Mobile batteries. And pin buttons. They also had lots of apple goods for sale. Including various drinks. And actual apples of course. While waking towards Hirosaki Park I...

Comic1 15

The final thing I checked out this time was Comic1 15. It's an event similar to Comiket , and just like Comiket it took place at Tokyo Big Sight. It's a smaller event, so I got a better place in the queue than at Comiket. Still plenty of people though. The Comic1 catalog was also the ticket, so you just held it up at the entrance to show that you had one. Since it was a smaller event it only used the west halls and none of the east halls. Both west hall 1 and 2 had circles selling doujins and goods. This is inside west hall 2. In west hall 4 they had a separate event called Character1 with corporate booths. In the Character1 area they had this big Nekopara TV anime ad. And some smaller ads for various other anime, figures and other stuff. Cardboard cutouts. Metallizing Art on display. At the Key booth they also had art. One of Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats. They had a stamp rally at the Key booth for people who bought items too. In a corner of Character1 they had itasha o...
