November 13 2011 is a special date that marked in the history of JPOP Fandom in the Philippines.
The first ever JPOP Convention was held in SM Cinema 10, Megamall on the said date.
Arrival
We arrived in the venue at around 1:00 PM , I was very excited at that time. I was so amused to saw many JPOP Fans holding their ichiban's uchiwas and their different JPOP Stuff.
They still haven't open the door of the cinema that's why as time goes by the entrance are becoming crowded. We lined up, I started to looked at different JPOP stuff that they were selling. I'm so happy to saw all those stuff and at the same time it made me a little bit sad because my budget was limited so i can't be able to buy all the things that I want. T__T
I'm a bit terrified because my imouto and I we're gonna joined the singing contest. We practice outside while we were waiting for the program to start. Demo, I remembered my agenda, whatever happens win or lost I will be happy to performs because all I want was to experience this one in a life time activity in my life. :3 Gambarimasu~!
2:00 - 3:00 Ticket Selling and Opening of Gates
Finally they had opened the door, we gave our tickets to them and they put a stamped in our hand ( I was very happy!!!!)
We are inside the Cinema 10 now. Kyaaaaaaaa~! I shouted because the first thing that I had seen as I entered the room wass the video that they were playing, and guess what was it'...^__^ they were playing some clips of HEY Say JUMP Summary 2010!!
3:00 - 3:15 Opening Remarks and J-POP Trivia and Gyudon Eating Contest
We sat near the stage to saw the video and the program clearly.. Comfortably, we watched many videos of our different JPOP artist . All the fans were shouting whenever they saw their ichiban's face at the screen!!
They finally started the program, an opening remark was made by Mayumi-chan the host of this year event. As they were going to start the Gyudon eating games they called the contestant for the solo and group singing contest to go on the backstage. I gave our usb with the minus one of our song (Yume no Tsubasa by Fiction Junction, Tsubasa Chroncles Ost)
At the backstage we met our co-singing contestant. They we're all very kind and it's very easy to be friends with them.
