They are all fairly well known to people who go to shows and events in London and a few idols fans I know had some problems with them but that's all I'll say about it anymore.

Aw c'mon, spill the tea
 
When the day began and there was 6 of us waiting, we got moved from in front of the venue, kind of queueing the way the queue ended up being moved to, because we were blocking the fire exit so I guess that's why! I do agree it was stupid. But I think most of the fans around my area were courteous enough to let whoever was first go in the correct order! I guess having to move further, if you were queueing around the corner, everything moving would mess things up order wise. Whereas people towards the front didn't have as far to move so stayed mostly in the right order!
 

I took some pics of J=J arriving to the London venue! I didn't get any proper ones of some girls because I was so starstruck by Sayuki's presence! I thought you guys might like to see.

(Is it ok to post these pics here...? I couldn't put a spoiler cut in. I guess it's okay though since they're only small... Sorry, will delete if not!)

Stopped lurking to post here, after not being active on H!O for like. Years.

Juice=Juice in London was amazing! I managed to get in the front row, and Sayuki gave me so much attention because I basically furicopied the whole concert. Sometimes I had to look away because her eye contact was flustering me 

I'm not sure what people are talking about when they say that the London concert was lacking in enthusiasm for wota chants and cheers, obviously you weren't standing anywhere near my area because it was crazy and we all lost our voices with how loud we were chanting! Maybe we didn't organise any encore songs or special things, but if you're gonna complain about it now, why didn't you organise something yourself? Though I'm confused when people talk about a message book they gave to the girls. I was queueing all day and didn't see anybody offering a book around to sign.    

I'm really glad that fans were respectful of personal space when Juice=Juice arrived to the venue in the afternoon. People mostly stayed well back and greeted and took photos from afar. I stood behind a barrier and took a polaroid of Sayuki as she passed me. Karin stopped and pointed at me saying "Ahh cheki!" I should have taken one of her too... So cute haha. This was different from my experience in 2013 too, when fans were getting so close and reaching out to the members and swarming their bus in excitement...

I don't think all of the organisation criticism is justified, I mean. They checked tickets and handed out premium wristbands hours in advance, which meant there was less hold up when we did get inside. Though there was no established queue, we self organised and respected that whoever came first would be first in the queue, even though it would have been easy for people to queue jump, nobody did at the front anyways, I can't speak for the back of the queue. This was so different to C-ute in Paris 2013, when I was around 20th in queue, but ended up with maybe 100 people in front of me. It seems people were a lot less rude in London. And I mean, from the pictures, it was clear the stage wasn't very raised, so complaining that you couldn't see when you arrived to the queue just before the doors opened is like. What did you expect..? If you want a good spot, you should arrive earlier to guarantee it

Overall, I think my only issues with the concert was that the goods sold out so fast! I prioritised being front row over getting goods, which I'm glad I did anyways since I got such special treatment and could stare at Sayuki without any restricted view. Also some of the aforementioned big, male fans were pretty creepy. I gave a tissue to a male fan when we were waiting by the stage, and the guys behind me started talking loudly about how he was probably going to "blow his load" and gross stuff like that. One (I think panda guy, who was directly behind me) was also making some really weird noises, growls and almost moans whenever Yuka was talking during the MC sessions.

You guys have made me doubt it by being so negative about our chants and the "poor organisation", but I hope that H!P bring more acts back to London! 

Best Idol

Just dropped by to say you're perfect and it should be illegal~~ u.u

I've seen a few people in Facebook communities who disliked Yossy's tomboy image, plus people criticising her weight etc etc etc but I don't think anyone dislikes her with such a passion.

Look at this love triangle moment I found... Holding hands with Charmy but having Miki's arm around her... Oh Yossy
