The reason why I blog about Bon Odori before AMG is because I haven't fully gotten all stage pictures from AMG yet .____. So whoever took our pictures please do tag us (the band page, my page, or my profile!) Thanks!!
Anyway, I went to Bon Odori with a group of dear friends last Saturday, too bad it's a wet bon odori this year (I heard the rain was heavier last year), but still had loads of fun! It was by far the most enjoyable one I've went~. Huge thanks to CR for picking me up from my house and sending me all the way home after the event. Anyway to avoid the jam we left earlier and reached the stadium around 4pm.
Walked one round looking at the food stalls, and grabbed seats at the stadium. Grabbing seats at the stadium in an early hour seems like a good trick to survive in Bon odori, but please please please remember to grab the middle seats instead of the corner seats because you will be drenched if it's raining. And yes, I was the one talking the most corner seats, and my entire outfit was sooo wet I could even squeeze out water from it lol.
We were smart enough to take tonnes of pictures (selfies!) before the rain ruined my hair it rains though! I'll start with my #OOTD #Yukata for the day. Bought this piece from a Japanese traditional kimono shop in Hokkaido. I really wanted something contrasting from the ones i had previously. My previous yukata was a nice pale yellow with floral prints, and I do have a red arrow pattern hakama. So this time I picked a dark blue one! The Hydrangea (Ajisai) pattern really bought me. I knew I just had to have it after one glance hahaha. Other floral patterns were water lily and some sakura.
Yay full body OOTD shot ^^
After waiting a while, my lovely band mates reached the venue too! Yay to The CrestFall! I'm kinda happy that almost all of us wore yukata, except for Daniel because he was having high fever ><. Half of me being happy that he joined the gathering, but half of me feeling sorry for his health.
Groupfies before the event starts/before it rains~
CR being Potong.
Now no more potong.
My lovely selfies with Joee!! Really miss you! And looking forward to work with you for the following weeks in September!
And of course, after sometime Sacchin and Erin came as well!
We were stucked under the shades for quite sometime, chit chatting about random stuffs and I love it~ It's just fun to hang out with friends and talk about stuffs, forgetting about work/studies =___=, leaving reality hahhaa. CR, Joee and Carlson went for food first, and then me, Sacchin, Erin and Daniel the second batch. But it rained again while we were getting our food...Managed to grab some juice and curry rice though! Although I really wanted my Takoyaki sobs...
This photo was to attract a certain someone for someone :D. I'm great at explaining.
We joined the second round of dance! Here's the stage area, where everyone dances around it.
The dance was fun! Although I'm pretty bad at it lol, took me around 3-4 rounds at least to get whats happening. Adam was super pro at it though!!! He can remember the steps!!
The ME after the dance.
Carlson and I after the dance. I like his yukata!
Quoting Carlson - The Edo pose (him) hahaha.
Big happy family photo!! Yay to all who wore yukata! Less photos with Taro, Taro's gf and Daniel because they did not join the dance. Taro was being all lovey dovey with his girlfriend, and daniel was sick T___T.
I'll end this post with my selfies!! I really enjoyed the day and the time spent with you guys!! Thanks for hanging out together~ We should do this more often hahaha.
My Happy red water balloon to match my outfit~
