Hey guys, back with a couple more entries. Why the mad rush? Because my internet died on me a couple days back. Plus I want to hurry it up because I came back from the "Hello!Project 2008 Summer Wonderful Hearts, Wonderful Play ~ Date at the Summer Resort Show" Saturday concert, and I'm itching to write about it.....WHICH I WILL NOW!! やった!!! (also a note, I would have written about this and published it on Saturday, but I had a family trip on Sunday-Monday. So sorry for the inconvenience.)
But first, I will start off with the New Naruto Shippunden Movie: Bonds. or ナルト 疾風伝: 絆. I went with Zack and his exchange student that he hosted last october, Junior. We went to Hashimoto to watch the 10:10am show, and wow did we see a lot of kids. We thought they wouldn't be awake but obviously they were!
Back to the movie, I thought it was interesting. Yet since it just came out today and not anywhere else yet, I won't ruin it. So i'll make a short list. It consists of what my friend, Zack, and I thought about the movie.
Moving on! After the movie, the 3 of us hit the arcade a bit, then the malls around the station. Mainly towards the bookstore, looking for manga we could try and read. (Good japanese practice)
It was getting close to 3pm and so we headed out to the station. Thus the phone calls and messages I didn't recieve finally came because I had no service in the mall. It was my girlfriend saying that I DROPPED MY TICKET AT 青葉台 Station! I really panicked and checked that it was true! I no longer had the ticket on me! So knowing this, we got on the train yet Zack and Junior went home because they weren't going to the concert. I reached 青葉台, saw my gf, glad she had my ticket and I found out the Station found it and called her. So i was very LUCKY!
Made my way to 渋谷 and then to 原宿. Right away out of the station, I see stands of photocards already being sold. And as being there my first time, I bought a couple.
Grabbed some of my favorites, too.

After the little stands, I made my way to Yoyogi Gym, seeing the huge amounts of Wotas for the first time in person. It amazed me, made me feel like I was at home in an Anime Convention. Walking into the area, I see the GOODS STAND, yet what I didn't know was that I got into the "CASH CARD" tables and I tried to pay with Cash. When they stopped me (in Japanese) I played the "AMERICAN ENGLISH CARD" and said in short one word sentences that I speak English, I didn't know, and I'm so sorry. It worked, as I was excused this time and was able to pay in Cash. yess, but next time I have to go to the yellow table.
The goods are in the photobucket link. Check them out. 
Time had reached 5:00pm, and the doors opened. I went in with the rest of the wotas and citizens, only to find one more stand to rob you.....
....which it did.
Sorry, first time jitters. I was in the moment. After said bought, i went to my seat which was pretty simple because i was BLOCK B, SEAT 2.....practically the last seat in the back (as I felt it...) ugh...note to self, buy ticket a lot faster next time. Which I hope Aichan will still be leader.
But WOW, being there in person watching the concert has an EXTREMELY DIFFERENT FEELING than watching alone. Oh my god, the words in my limited vocabulary are just not coming to describe the feeling! My spine kept tingling at the sight of them, I could see them on the monitors and in living flesh! Ahh idols, just regular people, singing and dancing. That's what I thought about as I watched them. And of course when they had MC....I could hardly understand it all....
I'm sure some else with review writing can write one better than I just tried. It's all exclamation points and jibber jabber, but I type what feel like.
1. KoiING - Takahashi Ai, Kitahara Sayaka, Mori Saki, Fukuda Kanon, Noto Arisa, Kikkawa Yuu, Maeda Yuuka, Sawada Yuri, Sengoku Minami
Aichan looks very beautiful with a pink gown on.
I first saw the Eggs come out and then Aichan appeared. The audience was in awe, it was about utter silence if not for the music. The song was sung so beautifully and perfect harmony with her voice, I almost ALMOST cried. It was a shame that the song wasn't longer.
2. Chu! Natsu Party - Michishige Sayumi, Sugaya Risako
Just wow! I was surprised when I heard this song and these two came out again. Other than RoboKiss in their winter concert, they really did a CHU-te job here. (yeah i know that was a lame pun
) And the monitors made it even cuter, by doing a split screen of them. IMO, I think they should have added another girl in play just because the song originally had 3 people...hmm maybe...Saki from C-ute just to have 3 people from 3 different groups, like a shuffle group.
The funny part is that they didn't have the "Number 3" shorts to flash.
3. Mano Piano - Mano Erina
Hearing in this person blows listening to this on the computer. I think she can make it big as a pianist in the big leagues but we still love her for singing in H!P. Hmm..what can I say about this without already repeating any adjectives I've used already...o well nevermind. It's great, I may have yawned a bit, but I was a little tired from the jumping and screaming. A most definite to listen on a romantic matter.
4. Ame no Furai Hoshi de wa Ai Senai Darou - All
Oh how this song stunned me so! It had the nice quiet opening, so beautifully sung. And the solo lines that JunJun and LinLin had (which I knew from the setlist but completely forgot) gotten me really excited! I was in shock! Sorry I can't remember much from then on, the whole concert just happened in a big quick blur
It was a great way to end a concert. 
And that was my experience as my 1st H!P Concert! I'm very excited and hopefully I can come back to Japan when there's another concert within the time I'm there and I can get a ticket with a closer seat, hopefully on the ground floor.

- Beginning seemed like Pearl Harbor to me
- We thought there would be more than one enemy
- A fellow Konoha Shinobi REALLY shows off.
- Naruto goes kyuubi that they should definetly put in the anime on how he transformed into it
- Sasuke's facial expressions in time of danger are hilarious
- The boss looks/battles like something you would see from the Dragon Ball series
- And finally, Naruto must always end it with RASENGAN....

Sounds like the concert was really exciting. Maybe someday I'll get to see one too.
