Nijicon Live in Thailand 2016

Anime Festival Asia Thailand 2016 is here!



Its another visit to Thailand, Land of 1000 Smiles. And smiled we did because Niji No Conquistadors were one of the announced guests for Anime Festival Asia Thailand! Nijicon members attending this time were Okumura Nonota, Tsurumi Moe, Nakamura Akari, Yamato Ao and trainee member Yamasaki Nana.





There was some wishful thinking that we could bump into them in the airport upon landing. Found later that they arrived earlier than us. BUMMER! That was on a Thursday, the main event will be the day after~ The schedule for Nijicon were as following

Saturday:
AFA Day 1 - Main Stage
AFA Day 1 - Akiba Stage
Nijicon Mini Live @ Animate Bangkok

Sunday:
AFA Day 2 - Mini Stage

SATURDAY NIJICON EVENTS


OMG Nana LOL

Starts the day by entering the AFA venue and take a look around. OMG! Spied members of Nijicon taking photos at the Canon booth. Nonota took notice of us and just shouted 'SAITAMA' towards me and drew some stares from the crowd. OMG... Quite embarassed with her 'resu'. Headed to the Main Stage thereafter. Singapore wota 'knicc' and some Thai wotas I've met during last year AFATH and TIF were there, thus it wont be an awkward affair. Manage to get infront mainly because its a working day thus not many people can make it. The setlist contains their latest song ''限りなく冒険に近いサマー". Nijicon experience also wont be complete without 'TRIANGLE DREAMER'.

Moe at Akiba Stage

Afterwards, went to the Moshi Moshi Nippon booth and have a high touch session with the members. Again Nonota gets my attention, this time by saying 'Hey, Nemo-chan not here!'. I guess most of them know my favourite member is Nemoto Nagi. Also upon liking Moshi Moshi Nippon facebook page, you can get a 2-shot opportunity with one of the members. Since she got my attention, took with Nonota! Also, they gave away free CDs from their 'Alien Girl in New York' single. Kinda sad because ex-member Minarin is inside. Gahh!

Moe, Nonota and Akari!

Later on, another event in the exhibition hall. This time is a collaboration with pixiv illustrator Shiromori Sawa. This talented young lady will pick random audiences and draw their faces while Nijicon performs. She will have to show her finished work once Nijicon ends their song and it was interesting to see how members of the audience were potrayed in anime form.

Shiromori-san has a drawing session with fans later on. Went together with knicc and got her to draw our faces. Gamely took photos with her after she's done.

I like her uniform. Nijicon wore this before
Shiramori-san drew my face yo

Final event for the day is the mini-live in Animate Bangkok. Rushed to MBK centre to have dinner and secure a place in the venue room.

I was surprised that you can take photos during the event! Again, hang around with the Thai wotas, and the mixes for most of the songs... pun intended, were 'mixed' with anisong and standard wota cheer. Cant blame the crowd as most of them were new to Nijicon and are anisong fans. Well it was fun! The venue and the performance truly brings me back to very first time I attended their CD release event. The video is evident of it (and again... TRIANGLE DREAMER)


Had a high touch session with all the members again. Honestly I dont want to part my money to buy the DD T-shirt but relented because I wanted to take photos with Ao-chan. Cant miss the opportunity presented there uh.

Ao-chan!


SUNDAY NIJICON EVENTS

As for Sunday, Nijicon only performed for one session at the Akiba Stage. And it would be the very last Nijicon performance for the day before they fly back home. Its a weekend and the crowd swelled. Wota absentees from yesterday event joined us and we're going to have an event of a lifetime! It was fun and we even included 'Chikipa' mix into their song "Parodoxical Complex".


In between performances took some photos, you can view some of them at my flickr account. Nonota noticed me after I smiled at her, and she did this pose:

PUNCH!


ONE PUNCH NONOTA! OMG, I think I would oshihen her should Nemo-chan were to suddenly graduate or something. Final song of the day is you guessed it, TRIANGLE DREAMER. Everyone gachikoi with their heart and soul. Those who dont know, just join in the fun~

The final interaction with Nijicon is again the high touch session at Moshi Moshi Nippon booth. Since I took photos with Nonota and Ao, this tims is Akarin. If I have the chance, would want take photos with Moe and Nana too. Nana is the most unfortunate as kinda not many took photos with her.

Loveable Nana aka Chansu!
With Akarin~

From this event, Nijicon again impressed me with their fan interaction and lively music. I really would like them to come back Singapore again. And hopefully they can bring in a full team!

And... too much Triangle Dreamer for the month of August lol/

Here's the gachikoi....
