TIF 2016 Day 2 & Day 3! - Summer Heat Toll LOL

Yet another TIF report. This time its mixing up both day 2 and day 3!

Day 2 - For the Sake of 'Resu'

Day 2 was quite uneventful. Mainly because I managed to see the groups I wanted on Day 1 and the summer heat has been unforgiving. Day 2 starts off with heading to the Buppan area.

Booth listing for the day~

Again bought some Stereo Japan goods. This time is the light up fan. Most of the time accompanied some of the Malaysian wotas around the buppan booth. Nijicon were at the sales booth for the Young Jump magazine. Overjoyed to see Nemo and she gamely handed over the Young Jump Book than the other members.


As I didnt manage to catch Akishibu Project yesterday, made a point to attend their stage. Went to Ship Stage and watched GEM performed first. Rana-chin is the only member that attracts my eye mainly because she is cute and holds some powerful vocals. Hearing "We Are GEM" again does make me feel nostalgic. Next is Akishibu and went to the front. I tried my best to get a Yuechi resu. Akishibu Way and New World brings me back to the time they perform in Japan Expo Thailand. Caught a glimpse of Yuechi and wondered if she noticed. I still cant catch up with the Candid Love mix, quite high leve for me.


After that, went back to the buppan area to redemn my 2-shot with Saionji again. Retried polaroid cheki since the usher asssured it would OK. Alas, it was flushed again. Gave back the cheki to the usher and took a mobile cheki instead. Also went to meet Rev.from DVL and get Yuna's sign. Was sad that Nagisa cant make it due to sickness, settled for Yuna instead.

Yuna sign will do since theres no Nagisa


Later part of the day was accompanying the Malaysia Wotas at Festival Stage. Got sucked into the middle and it was kinda 'lively'. Witnessed Cupitron, Predia and Moso Calibration performance. Ended the day with another Wasuta performance, this time hearing Chiisana Chiisana and their new song as part of the setlist.

DAY 3 - Moshing with SenoSister!

Day 3 was most eventful. Mainly because groups like Phantom Voice and Senosister will be performing one day only!

First up was heading to the Festival Stage to see groups Phantom Voice, Nijicon and Senosister. The highly anticipated one is Senosister as I missed their performance last year. Barely reached the venue to see Phantom Voice performing. There I can witness one of the idols who visited Singapore before: Rie Yunohara aka Riecho! Afterwards is waiting for Nijicon and again gachikoi to Triangle Dreamer without pinchikes in sight. Stayed on and seen some interesting groups like TOKYO 5 and Malcolm Mask McLaren. The latter is very unique because they don face masks throughout their performance and have an interesting shirt which says 'I dont give a fxxk'.


FINALLY ITS SENOSISTER! First song was Idorunandenachudame! Zettai! The only time we can kecha to the Gundam statue. Final song was Last Time and went crazy inside the mosh pit. Truly, one needs to experience Senosister's performance.



Heat was unbearable so slept for a while under the shade on some grassy patch. Proved fatal because I missed the last and only Rev.from DVL for the day.... NUOOOOOOO. Afterwards head over to Ship Stage for the special gravure event.

The top participants of the Young Jump SURVIVAL event will perform on stage with their groups. I came just in time for Akishibu Project's performance. Since their member Yuunarin was 2nd place, that means Nemoto Nagi will be up next. WOW! She wore some healthy top and showing her assets to the whole world LOL. Her whole group dressed like that too and again... TRIANGLE DREAMER. Oh God, no gachikoi this time as I lost my voice. That song and Wasuta's InuNeko kinda becomes the most spammed song for the summer.

Went for a smoke and later to the buppan area to redemn chekis with Nijicon. Quite frustrated with Nijicon's cheki because just for TIF, if you are foreigner and present your passport, you use 2 tickets for it. As opposed to their other events, cheki with sign sets you back to 5 tickets! But cant pass up the chance because of Nemo and also Emiri was there! She is one member thats hard to get cheki with, cant afford to miss it.

After Nijicon, hang around the Festival Stage area again. Coincidentally its Wasuta... INUNEKO AGAIN! Since we dont have anymore groups to meet, went inside the buppan area to collect any surplus uchiwas found there. Saw another local wota friend and she passed me a ticket to do a handshake with Yuu Kikkawa. Oh well, why not? Just say Hi and I got a chinese greeting in return. Ooops.

Went back to Smile Garden and heard 'drop' performing. I am kinda beat up tired so opt to end my TIF escapade entirely by chilling outside VenusFort. The whole event ends with a group photo with all the Southeast Asian wotas outside the Gundam statue.

Overall, its been an eventful day~
