Always remember the managers and roadies!

amen to that. The girls wouldn't be where they are today without them unsung heroes. Eisuke totally deserves the love )

Huh, where did you find that?

<-- hopeless at Japanese and twitter....

Oh my friend is yoshimi friend and he saw her tweet and told me :D

Well, me and firelit went for the handshake session at AFAX and heres my account of the session in . Let's hope firelit posts his version too :>.
Here goes~

Before the handshake session, some SH members who got autographs from the other artistes said that artistes would sign on the spot and talk with you while signing.
So they suggested we line up at the back of the queue so that we can interact with SCANDAL longer.
Hence, we went into the queue and kept asking those who came in after us to go in front of us lol.
I also decided to say "Konsato gambatte ne (Best of luck for the concert)" to SCANDAL.

So, a staff from AFAX came beside the queue to check the email with the tickets.
Once he reached us, there were still people coming in behind us and after checking, me and firelit got position 50 and 51 respectively.
Anyway, we just waited and along the way, bemnage came to us and told us that we just gonna shake SCANDAL's hands and get the pre-signed poster from Eisuke.

So we just continue moving forward in the queue until it was my turn.

Then, the same staff who checked the tickets previously asked me to take out the tickets to double-check.
I had already kept the tickets in my bag so I had to dig them out again.
firelit was still holding on to his tickets so he was signalled by the guy to go on first.
Anyway out of the corner of my eyes, I think I saw SCANDAL chuckling at me D:.

So, I managed to dig the tickets out and went to shake SCANDAL's hands.
When I was shaking RINA, MAMI, and TOMO, they said arigatou so I replied arigatou back.
At this time my mind was already starting to blank out hence the crappy reply ^^".

Until I reached HARU, I knew I had to say the "Konsato gambatte ne" sentence.
But once I reached her, my mind totally blanked out and I tried finding the word "Konsato" in my mind.
I could see Eisuke beside her was ready to pass me the poster but stopped when I was trying to find the word.
In the end after a short pause, I managed to say out a gibberish "Concert" and HARU replied "Konsato".
Then I remembered and said "Konsato gambatte ne", with stammers .

The whole SCANDAL said arigatou and I went to take the poster from Eisuke.
I told him "Eisuke kakkoii" (I didn't say kawaii because I think its kinda funny for a guy to say it) but I think it was soft and not sure did he managed to hear what I said.
Then, I went off with the poster and met with the SH group.

Anyway, that's my close and kinda embarrassing encounter with SCANDAL~
Hope that I can see them again soon in Singapore .

In other news, SCANDAL do have soft and smooth hands even when they play instruments :D.

Wow sugoi! XD OMG soft and smooth hands

Is this Eisuke guy that really hot dude doing the sound check?

Alright since DUMMIbears has written his account of what happened during the handshake session, its my turn.

Here goes~ :onionrider:

On the 1st day of AFAX, with the help of asuna, those who had gone down had managed to catch a glimpse of SCANDAL walking to and from the Moe Moe Kyun Maid Cafe. Just seeing them made me a stammering, smiling, waving idiot. Which made me extremely worried as to what I would say to the girls come the big day.

After some discussion with members of the SH branch in SG, we decided to try and get to the back of the line to try and spend as much time with the girls as possible, for previous artists like angela and May'n the people at the back of the line got to spend a lot more time with the artists as compared to those in the front.

Ultimately, all DUMMIbears and I got were middle section, 50 and 51, to be exact. As the line began to creep forward. I pinned on a handwritten "SCANDAL-HEAVEN" banner on the strap of my bag in the hopes the girls would recognize it. Bemnage then approached DUMMIbears and myself, telling us that we would be shaking the girl's hands in the order, RINA, MAMI, TOMOMI and then HARUNA. Receiving our signed poster from EISUKE at the end. As we got closer to the booth my mind started to blank out, much as it did the day before when we saw SCANDAL up close, the tension was growing and I was not sure whether i was able to hide it properly. When it came to my turn,the only words I could muster were "Ganbatte ne" and "Arigatou", .waaa. while graping their hands, I tried to look in to their eyes as well after receiving the poster all I could do was join the other SH members cheering them as they left to prepare for the concert.

After the session, all I could do was smile but help but feel disappointed that i couldn't do more. In a nut shell that was the handshake session.

During the concert, I was seated with bemnage, aron94 and his friend, in the 2nd row. I was jumping and waving madly in the hopes that SCANDAL would notice me .shy., bemnage and I also occasionally shouted "EISUKE" when he was close to us and when he was on stage preparing for the performance. The concert was ELECTRIC with the wonderful performance from SCANDAL as well as the other artists, angela and May'n.

Anyway, that's my close and embarrassing encounter with SCANDAL~
I hope SCANDAL make will another trip down to Singapore soon be it for an AFA concert, an Asia tour, or just to visit out little island again.

In other news, SCANDAL do have soft and smooth hands, smooth and soft hands, I'm sure I'll not soon forget.

Till next time this is firelit signing off... BYENII

Heheh, just kidding. Damn lucky la you people...

sweet! hahahaha

waaaaaaaahhhh..... .toj.

your guys really lucky...
I feel the excitement and tensions to each story that you shared guys...
Thanks for sharing...

Congratz SG Branch....

so envious but anyway since it's a first person view I will imagine I'm the one holding the camera .nosebleed.

Glad you guys had a great time! You're all really lucky. I'm still waiting for SCANDAL to come back to the US, so I'm really jealous of everyone who went haha. And thanks for the reviews; they're fun to read!

And a little off-topic, but it seems like a lot of Asian countries have strict no photo/video rules at live concerts. Anyone know why? Maybe copyright issues and lame stuff like that?

The rules can vary here in the US, but 99.9% of the time we can usually bring in cameras and take photos/videos at live shows. I love taking photos and videos at shows, so I'd be beyond devastated if I saw SCANDAL live and couldn't bring in a camera lol .wtf.

just want to tell YUH...camera isn't allowed almost everytime and everywhere in AFA X...it was only allowed when SCANDAL were being the judge for the karaoke competition...so that's why I can take their video peacefully...gurarararara!!!

Heso...!!!

Aww! かわいそうですね! lol I'm feeling so bad for you guys who aren't allowed to take cameras in to events. .shy.

Seriously?! .wtf. That really, really sucks. I'm so surprised at that. At conventions here, it's ALL about photo taking. It wouldn't be a convention without photo taking, and I'm sure no one would go if cameras weren't allowed haha.

But wow; I can't believe that. And I'm also surprised that the only time cameras were allowed was for the karaoke competition. But,like you said, at least you were able to take videos of SCANDAL then! haha

They're mostly not allowed for most stage events with some notable exceptions- e.g. cosplay or singing etc.

For most of the panels and performances involving famous artistes, there aren't cameras allowed.

Cameras are still allowed in the convention, people can take pictures of cosplayers, figurines etc.

Ah, I see. From the way Koide worded it, it kind of sounded like the only time cameras were allowed was for the karaoke competition. Heh. At conventions here, anyone can take pictures/videos at any time, with the only exceptions probably being during anime screenings and whatnot.

Still, the main thing I'm surprised at is that no cameras were allowed during live performances, and it doesn't seem like they're ever allowed at live events in Asia. I've never been, but I don't think I'd like them at all if no cameras are allowed. haha.
