This post is a reaction post to the Otaku post on Tofugu. I know this post mostly covers anime otaku, but I thought it was a good article to describe Otaku culture in general. A few months back, I was invited out to lunch by a co-worker at the last minute. We mostly talked about happenings in the office and somehow the subject of me going to a concert in Tokyo dome recently came up. I told her “Yes, I am a huge fan of Johnny’s” and I explained how I go to many concerts in the same tour, especially for … Continue reading Why I am a proud “Johnny’s Otaku”
The first time I went to a Johnny’s concert back in 2009, I had no idea about concert manners. I didn’t understand why people held these things with messages or people’s faces on them (later finding out they were called “Uchiwas”) and waved glow sticks in unison (called penlights) or why there were no photos allowed inside the venue. Over the years, I learned the concert manners and now understand why these things, and many others, happen. In this post, I will discuss some major concert rules and why they are there. No Photography or Video allowed During the Concert … Continue reading Johnny’s Talk – Concert Rules

The Concert The concert started promptly at 11:00pm, starting with a video showing the names of all of the groups that were performing in Johnny’s Countdown this year, and … Continue reading Concert Report: Johnny’s Countdown 2014-2015 in Tokyo Dome

One of the hardest things for me to decide on when I go to a Johnny’s concert or event is: What should I wear? Now, I believe that fashion is very personal to everyone and what he or she chooses to wear is a reflection of who they are. Each person has their own style and what they like to wear and there is no right or wrong thing to wear to Johnny’s concerts! I personally like dresses and skirts and a more mature style of clothing, as well as when I go to Johnny’s concerts I don’t want to … Continue reading Johnny’s Talk: What To Wear To A Johnny’s Concert/ Event?

NEWS. This group has been consuming me for the past 2 years or so and I don’t regret it at all. I have grown with them in during this time as they have grown and evolved into new NEWS and I couldn’t be prouder of them as I am now. I feel like we have grown together and we have learned together and my bond with them has strengthened. I wasn’t there through the Uchi and Kusano scandal (I didn’t become a fan of Johnnys until Fall 2008 ) but I was there through the period of 2009-2011 where they … Continue reading Diary Post: NEWS 10 Year Anniversary おめでとう〜！
