La'aKea

I have waited until now with still a glimpse of hope but I now know that there won't be any more confirmation e-mails sent.

To chibilolli and I, Risa means a whole lot. People here who remember us will know this. For me, not attending this event is like failing her as a fan.

I beg, seriously beg, anyone who has a spare ticket to contact me. I am after 2 tickets, please e-mail me even if you just have one, and we'll make arrangements.

This is a call from the heart, please hear me out.

Thank you.

PON! 12-05-21 screencaps

her eyes look so puffy. i'm not sure if it's allergies, lack of sleep, heavy drinking (kidding) or what. i kinda feel bad for her.

Well, as footage from her graduation is shown, and as it was aired on the 21st, this PON! episode must have been recorded either on the 19th or the 20th May. The puffy eyes are more than likely a result from crying a lot (for obvious reasons) and probably not sleeping much (again, for obvious reasons).

Seeing her face in this state, I actually feel proud of Risa: it shows how much love she has for Morning Musume and how sincere she is.

And the fact that she is smiling and laughing despite how sad she must feel inside, shows how much of a professional she is. She really achieved her dream of becoming like her MM senpai that she admired. In my opinion, she has surpassed them.

From the moment that I discovered Morning Musume, I have been a Risa fan. She might actually be the reason I became a MM fan at all. Her big smile, her deep voice and her amazing presence on stage made me like her immediately and regard her as a top idol. To me, she has no equal.

Since she became sub-leader, she has sparkled and shown her true potential, being even more of a leader figure than Ai. During these past 5 years, she has supported the group she loves so much with all her might.

She is a real professional, shows respect and gratitude to her fans, always smiling and cheerful. An idol that one can be proud to be a fan of.

I am ever thankful to her for giving these 10 years to Morning Musume.

HAPPY GRADUATION RISA, I will continue to support you no matter what, you are forever my number 1.

I linked to the official website of Japan expo, where it says one hour... Just cause people don't like me doesn't change the fact that it says at the link I have already provided that irs one hour

Clearly, you are incapable of reading the link that you provided yourself...
If you read correctly, it says: Premium pass holders get in at 8:20 am at the earliest (Platinum pass) which is 40 minutes before people who have bought normal tickets (presale). If you haven't bought a ticket and want to buy one at the cashier there (on site), you will have to wait until 10 am to get in, which is 1 hour after normal ticket holders. But normal tickets are available to buy online until the very day of the convention, so anyone who books "relatively" in advance can enter at 9am.


EDIT: I'll drop the topic now. I just get annoyed when people persist on giving out wrong information, as it can lead to unneeded confusion for others.

^ You still don't understand: Pack MoMusu was sold separately from the expo. It was sold 2 months before the concert, online, on tickets retailers sites.

As chibilolli already explained, it does not matter that Premium pass holders get in 40 or 10 minutes before everyone else. It only matters if there is a "first come, first served" signing session, but even then there are still chances for normal pass holders to attend.

What you are saying about shuffling behind more expensive passes proves you've never been to Japan Expo. Please quit giving fake information and let those who actually know what they're talking about inform others on this forum.
Premium pass holders get in the convention according to what type of pass it is: 40 minutes early for Platinum, 30 minutes early for Gold, 20 minutes early for Silver and 10 minutes early for Zen. I had myself a Zen pass and we didn't get let in at the same time as other Premium pass holders: they made us wait until exactly 10 minutes before the normal convention time.
Also, the entrances for Premium and normal convention pass holders are separate by a good 200 meters. No one who doesn't have a Premium ticket can get in early.
As for skipping the lines for concerts, any type of Premium ticket is the same and they can all skip at the same time, usually 10 minutes before others enter the concert hall.

As for an H!P group attending the convention this year, I personally don't think it will happen: Soundlicious is already bringing FLOW over as musical guests, so I'm not sure they would be able to handle a second group. I suppose we can't rule it out completely though.
