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.

TIF 2016 Day 1 - Lets Gachikoi!

I had an exhilarating time during TIF2016. Not only its held on 3 days, there are a number of groups who will be debutting at this event for the first time!

Day 1

Off from Ariake to TIF!

As with last year, those overseas fans who applied free tickets via TGU will have to redemn their wristbands at the Smile Garden info area. Thankfully, my accomodation is within Odaiba, thus wont rush and jostle with other idol fans on the Yurikamome line from Shimbashi. My initial plan for Day 1 is to settle performances, then Day 2 will be settling the Buppans.

TIF 2016 Mini Survival Guide

Tokyo Idol Festival 2016 is just around the corner, idol fans all over Japan and even the world will converge to this major annual (some even say sacred) event. In just a week, Odaiba will be transformed into a massive idoru showcase with both mainstream and underground idols performing at different stages.

After reading fellow idoru comrade Henry's blogspot, I felt inspired to write up my own survival guide. Here are some of the pointers you can take note when attending TIF!

Take note all these pointers are taken from my own firsthand experience. Unless TIF adopts new rules, I think these will be adequate.

Maid Cafes In Taiwan

Taiwan is an interesting place, mainly due to its abundance of Japanese culture. For example, walking the streets of Ximending is liken to walking on the streets of Nanba Osaka. Due to the country's close proximity to Japan (approximately 2 hours flight from Tokyo), Taiwan has good access to Japanese produce and merchandise. Furthermore loads of prominent Japanese stars have set foot here. Top acts, especially idols, would usually include Taiwan as one of their stops whenever they do a 'World Tour'. The availability of Japanese themed shops brimming full of Japanese themed stuff can be seen around. Most notably Maid Cafes!

Tokyo Girls Style One-Man Live & Idolidge @ Taiwan

It all started when Tokyo Girls Style announced that they will be having a one man live overseas tour. Only problem, the countries they're heading to are Hong Kong & Taiwan. The closest country TGS got invited for this year was Bangkok, which sadly I didnt go. After careful consideration, decided to head to Taiwan!
