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.

Your Name - Train Crossing

I also checked out a bunch of Your Name locations in Nagano, starting with the train crossing that was supposedly shown in the movie, which is located close to Otabe Station in real life. Image from Your Name - 10m56s This is the angle that seems to match the most compared to what was shown in the movie, but the screenshot is flipped and there's some elements missing. Image from Your Name - 10m56s This is the screenshot as shown in the movie. You can see the similar looking metal utility box in the picture here. Image from Your Name - 31m08s I also took a picture from the opposite side so the metal utility box position matches when the screenshot is flipped. Image from Your Name - 31m08s There's a sign with a 7 on it here, but it's not in the same location as in the movie. Image from Your Name - 31m08s I also took a picture from the road, then the metal utility box position matches, but the road and railway track is switched.

K-On - Kitano Tenmangū Revisit

Another place I revisited was the Kitano Tenmangū shrine . The easiest way to get there is to take a bus to Kitano Tenmangū-mae. Image from S2E4 - 06m54s The torii gate at the entrance. Image from S2E4 - 06m55s The same cow statue I saw last time I visited. Image from S2E4 - 06m57s And the tower gate. Image from S2E4 - 07m05s The purification font is in the middle here. Image from S2E4 - 07m06s The sign here is smaller in real life. Image from S2E4 - 07m20s The other cow statue that's shown in the anime... Image from S2E4 - 07m26s That Ritsu and Yui rubs. Image from S2E4 - 07m32s Nodoka is skeptical about what they're doing. Image from S2E4 - 07m36s Sawako spots Ritsu and Yui... Image from S2E4 - 07m37s And yells at them. Image from S2E4 - 07m40s Yui then spots... Image from S2E4 - 07m42s Another sign. Not sure if this is the exact same location as shown in the anime, but it was the closest matching one I could see. Image from S2E4 - 08m29s The main shrine building. Image from ...

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...
