In Topic: ANGERME (アンジュルム) / S/mileage (スマイレージ)

21 October 2016 - 05:18 AM

I promised Kinjiru on Tuesday that I would post on H!O after meeting him at the LaLa Port Event in Toyosu, it was fun to meet a fellow Dutchman at a H!P event, the first time for me in Japan. But I was to busy going to the events the last 2 days to do it earlier. Now I'm actually back in Europe again as my trip was planned before this single was announced. Yesterday I went from the 1st event in Club Citta in Kawasaki directly to Haneda Airport. And had a night flight with Angerme on my mind the moments I wasn't sleeping (more time then I was).

 

As a S/mileage / Angerme fan from before the start the release of the single was a welcome surprise for my trip to Japan. I ended up buying 29 copies of the latest single and had the same number of handshakes. On top of meeting Kinjiru I also met a lot of Japanese fans the last 2 days.

 

Momona does look a bit shy, but that makes it extra cute when she makes eye contact with you. She's also very cutely clumsy, she's clearly the youngest of the group. But on the other hand she was always the one that stayed on stage the longest after the events ended to way enthusiastically to everyone. Of course this might have to do with her being the new girl and this being her 1st  single. All doubts that I had about her being a bad choice for Angerme (not that many to be honest) were waved away the last couple of days. I can see her becoming one of the favorite members of the group in due time. She just have to find her place in the group, fighting for attention with the always hyper 3rd generation. But Moe has done that perfectly already, so Momona will do fine.

 

Murotan is the best of the members when it comes to reacting to foreign fans. She's asked different questions in perfect English, and also follow up questions. She's not just a very enthusiastic girl, she also seems to be very smart.  Rikako is just fun to watch, she's always her bubbly self, so expressive, and that for such a beautiful young girl.  Aiai has good spirits, she even became angry at me for answering wrong on Murotan's question which food I liked. I should have answered Pasta instead of Ramen. Here it was handy that I could talk with the Japanese fans because I didn't know that the Ramen - Pasta thing is an  ongoing debate in the group.

 

The 2nd generation are much more quiet and layed back then the 3rd generation. Even though Rinapu, who's was always the queen of laid back is getting some energy from Murotan. Both where constantly chatting if there was small hold up at the handshakes. But at the handshakes Rinapu is still queen of cool, not more then thank you's.

 

Kanana is clearly taking her role as subleader more and more seriously, Always directing the talks during the MCs, more so then Ayacho. At the handshake she's more her old self, just saying Yeah when you come round. But in such a cute way it's hard to not to say Yeah back.  Take-chan is clearly getting older, she does act more and more mature compared to a couple of years back when she was louder. As for the handshake she's just and Arigatou girl, don't expect too much.

 

Ayacho remains Ayacho, she was mainly confused by my name. She couldn't figure out if it was Menno, which it is or if it's Meron (Melon) which she found funny according to some other fans talked a bit to her about me. But she remains so beautiful, even becoming more and more so by the years. I remember her from one of the 1st H!P Eggs DVD magazines where she was the dark skinned skinny girl who was spacing out a bit. But even then she already had that special thing that makes what she is today. Then I fell in love with here at Mano-chan's Hajimete no Keiken events and that has not stopped since then. The Japanese fans were surprised and liked that I was her fan for so long.

 

But even if my fandom for here runs so deep, my love for Angerme is strong enough to remain a fan of the group after she will eventually graduates.

 

Oh, Moe, Kamiko, what is there to say about her, 1st of she's so tiny, even when you are already used to the fact that H!P girls are tiny. But far more then that she radiates a calm cool collective image that really fit's here. She does complete Angerme perfectly.

Why did everybody forgot my name. :P

Menno-desu

It doesn't matter, i'm even worse at remembering names. I have to figure out from all the posts who was who. XD Reading the reports does help, and as a bonus it brings back the excitement!

I just want to thank Chobineko for the entertainment at Quick after the show (or should I thank MrMoonDoggie ;) ), and for the Captain picture of course! :)


I was very nice to see the excitement on the faces of everybody who saw them in real life for the 1st time. And also to speak for the 1st time to some other Dutch fans after my 15 minutes at the Australian Cafe pub.

And I was still exited at the concert, it was also my 1st proper Buono! concert, so I also had a bit of that extra 1st time excitement.

Wow, first post on H!O.

But this 10,000 copies challenge needs to get it's own thread on a more prominent place on H!O to get more people to send in their pictures. I can imagine that many people don't look into this thread and we need as much international fans as possible to send in their smiling face!

Show your support and send in that picture! :wub:
