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.

Flying Witch - Manga Covers

Although I don't normally do manga locations, I did check out some of the locations shown on the Flying Witch covers this time. Flying Witch Cover 1 This is at a shrine named Gankisan Shrine. I've marked this location in the map below. Flying Witch Cover 2 This is at Hirosaki Park on the other side of the moat from the bench shown in the anime. Flying Witch Cover 5 This is at the entrance of the house where Nao lives . Flying Witch Cover 6 And finally, this is down by the river near the nursery school close to the bridge shown in the anime OP. Location map: These locations were visited on 2019/04/24 and 2019/04/25.

Girls und Panzer - Tank Club Shop

The Tank Club Shop in episode 2 of Girls und Panzer is based on a real place in Tokyo, so I went to have a look. The closest train station is Ichigaya Station. Image from Episode 2 - 09m12s The building still looks the same. Image from Episode 2 - 09m10s Unfortunately the shop itself, which was called Norimono Club in real life, closed down in 2017. It was run by the publisher Ikaros Publications which still is located here. Image from Episode 2 - 09m18s There's no buildings on the other side of the street in real life.
