SCANDAL Hello World Concert!

Its been quite sometime since I've last attended a SCANDAL concert. The last one was their concert held in SCAPE around 2-3 years back. I got my first exposure to SCANDAL when introduced to their MV way back in 2009. Its quite a new experience for me to see an all female group doing rock songs. And they're musically talented too! The members themselves composed most of the songs, most notably their bassist Tomomi. They penned their own lyrics too and have the looks and charms to boot. Kinda rubbed onto me and got my first taste of their live performance during AFA 2009. 

Thailand Comic Con 2015 Day 2 - Day 3

Its been a hectic week... Loads of events jam packed on the last week April all the way till Labour Day. Most notably, I flew back to Thailand again! This time to attend both Anime Festival Asia and Thailand Comic Con, both happening over the same week (30 April till 3rd May.)

Its here! Thailand Comic Con

For Thailand Comic Con, I managed to receive the press pass access. Thus I have a decent amount of freedom (and snap exclusive photos!). Additionally collaborated with Roaming Dog & nubu515 for content.

[IDOL Feature] lyrical school

Wazzup everyone? Today, I'm starting something new. Its called IDOL Feature! I am an idol fan and why not share my love? Basically these posts are about idols, usually the ones I follow. Also, hopefully after introducing these idol groups, you might find them interesting and in turn support them. So without further adieu, our first group for IDOL Feature: lyrical school!

Lantis Festival Singapore 2015

On 28th March, I have the chance to attend Lantis Festival 2015. Its an anisong (anime songs) themed concert. Initially did not want to go. However, since I was handed complimentary tickets, I figured why not. Besides my last anisong event was AFA2010? It was THAT long! This event was held at Star Vista Theatre.
