Hanami Con Ludwigshafen

Hey guys (^-^)v

Finally I'm back !

Sorry it took so long again but my second exam period started..

it was really hard but now it's over and I won't have any exams until October \(*-*)/

 There still are some thing I want to share with you guys such as some entries 

about my time in Japan and, of course, about Japanday in Düsseldorf this year. 

But let's start with another Convention ^.^

 As my boyfriend and I moved to another part of Germany last year,
we looked around a bit to find out if there are some nice conventions near our new location.
And we found: Hanami Convention in Ludwigshafen !
We live very close to that city now, so we decided to visit it ^.^
As we were very late with buying tickets, we, unfortunately, didn't get any Saturday
or weekend tickets anymore, just a few for Sunday were left.

 Still we bought them and made our way to the convention on Sunday.
In beforehand, I have to state that I didn't take many photos
because my allergy struck hard again that day and I wasn't able to 
take many photos as I hardly saw anything and my nose was running all day q.q
But we still had a nice time ^.^
I decided to wear a Pastel Goth inspired outfit again ♥

a bit decoration to cover my messy bedroom..

It was the first time I wore my very first milklim item:
this purple faux leather jeacket ♥

I love to use my Kuromi bag for outfits like this ^.^
Also, the weather was really nice that day, the sun shone and no clouds anywhere.
(sadly this weather goes hand in hand with a high pollen count..) 

When we arrived, it was already quite crowded but, nevertheless,
we took our time to see what the many sellers had to offer.
They did not only sell their goods inside the building but outside were many boothes, too. 
A very good thing for those who didn't get tickets anymore x3
 

While standing at one of the boothes, a girl handed a flyer to me
to promote a performance of her show group.
The description sounded interesting and therefore we decided to go ^.^
Unless most show groups performances, this one was a play in a self-invented universe:

The show group's name is XnY and their play's name is 'Universe'.
I filmed a small part of one dance scene for you:

After the performance, we went outside again and found 
something I've always wanted to try: Taiyaki ♥

Taiyaki are Japanese waffles in form of a fish and traditionally filled with anko (sweet red bean paste). When I was in Japan, I saw a small taiyaki-stall in the street but I was so ful that time and thought I will find another one... but, unfortunately, I didn't q.q
But now at the con I could finally try it *-*

The queue in front of the stall was quite long and it took a while until we could order
because the stall was run by just two people with two taiyaki makers.
I was so much looking forward to it that I photographed nearly everything the cook did:

They offered four different flavours:
Anko
Chocolate pudding
Vanilla pudding
Cheese

We chose one of each flavour ^.^
And every single one was so delicious ♡＾▽＾♡

After eating and relaxing a little bit, we went to the shopping area inside the building.
As everyone else was in the big hall to watch the German Cosplay Contest at that moment,
we could see everything at the boothes and could peacefully look at and buy stuff x3

my boyfriend likes SNes a lot ^.^

so many cute plushies *-* ♥

 As soon as the Cosplay Contest ended, it got very crowded everywhere again.
As it has also got late, we dicided to head home again.
 And shortly before, we bought some snack:

these Chocolate Dorayaki were so delicious *Q*

 On our way home, I even met one of my supervisiors from work.
Although I was wearing a wig, she still recognized me and
ask if we went to Hanami Con. She said, she herself was not interested
in 'this anime stuff' but she liked the way I dress  (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ 

Well, this was our day at the Hanami Con ^-^
We had lots of fun and want to go there again next year !

Last but not least, I want to show you what be bought:

what I bought ^.^

Azusa from k-on ^-^

a cute Salamence plush ^-^

there were some boothes with art pieces from yet unknown manga artist...

...one of them designed this cute cup (and many more) ^.^

And my boyfriend bought this Don Quichotte de Flamingo figure from One Piece ^.^
 

We are already looking forward to next year's Hanami Con ^.^
Thank you for reading ♥
bye bye ( ･ω･)ﾉ

Nisa-Con and Pastel Goth again ♥

Hey guys (^.^)v

for a few years now Braunschweig, the town I live in, has it's own convention.

It's a quite small town, but the con itself is often very crowded.

I'm happy people from other parts of germany come to our local convention, too x3

So this year it was really hot again..

I visited the convention for the third time now and it's always really warm x'D

two years ago we had almost 35°C and last year around 25°C (still warm),

but this year it was 32°C again x3

not the best weather for a convention, but better than heavy rain ^-^

Since I really like Pastel Goth at the moment, 

I choose to wear a creepy cute outfit again x3

It's just my second try with this style and I'm still really at beginner-level x'D

My boyfriend decided to accompany me this time *-*

our first convention together ♥

And before we went of, we took some photos in the garden ^.^

 and a pic he took of me x3

My boyfriend then went to his brother-in-law and his niece to 
pick them up and I made my way to the event location x3

When I arrived there already were a lot of people waiting to get in

and I had to queue for half an hour.. in our small town x'D

Of course I went to the Karaoke Room first and met my friend Rinni there x3

I myself didn't sing anything.
There was a new karaoke system and they had
quite few songs I liked or knew the lyrics of..
So I went on to the Video Room to watch some anime ^.^

This anime was quite funny xD
but I forgot it's name q.q
do you know how it is called?

While strolling through the floors I met cute maid Lisa

She sold soo~ delicious cupcakes and donuts *-*
We bought some when my boyfriend finally arrived x3

cat donut *-* ♥

As you can see in the pic, I deeply fell in love
with this bulbasaur plush *-*
and had to buy it, it was soo cute q.q

After walking around the whole time,
we sat down in the hall to enjoy some shows ^.^
First was the singer 'Chocolate Music' from Bremen.
She translates and sings anime soundtracks in german x3
She  did a really great show *-*

The next artist was the singer Shiroku.
She sings anime songs (and also J-Pop I think) to piano music.
She was really really great *-*
To piano music of course she sings lots ballads,
which I personally don't like that much..
but you could see how moved she was by every title
and how much every song ment to her ♥

I heard she likes penguins, this was her mascot for today ^.^

After the shows it was already pretty late
and we were really exhausted from walking and the heat, so we went home x3
It was a great convention and it's always fun going there ^.^

thanks for reading
and see you next time (^.^)v

☆ Harajuku Fashion Walk ☆ Hamburg ☆ ＼(^ω^＼)

Hey guys (^-^)v

I hope you are all fine ^.^

Last weekend was really amazing, because I attended the first

Harajuku Fashion Walk in Hamburg ♥ 

The event was organized by the cute Feli-chan. 
We already had some similar events in Germany, like in Düsseldorf
or Leipzig, but this was the first in the north of the country ^.^
(And the closest from my hometown, but nevertheless we 
had to travel three hours by train..)

I choose to wear a 'pastel goth' outfit for the first time ^-^

sorry, to lazy to cover my messy room this time x3

I got myself a new wig for this outfit and will probably 
do a review in one of the next posts ^-^
Tell me if you're interesseted ♥

My mom and my friend Eiri joined me again and we took 
the train at nine in the morning to be in Hamburg in time.
When we arrived at the station I luckily still had enough time
to "do" my nails (=to clip on my preglued nails x'D)

 At 1 p.m. we all met at the station and then walked our way through the city.
 But before we took the first group photo of the day ♥

by Jacky Holtermann

We walked down a well-known shopping street in Hamburg
and also visited some close by stores (like colours and claire's)
Then we took the train to visit the newly opened 'J-Store' ♥
And took another group photo (^-^)v

picture taken from the J-Store facebook-page

The store is really great ^-^
They had such a cool pair of tights, but sadly they
were to expensive for me at the moment...

And here are some more random pictures of the day x3
The first is a photo of my 'hair' I took in the train.
Wearing a bow by MeltyWish ♥

I like the wig, it feels comfortable while wearing ^-^
Next is a pic of Eiri and me:

And the perspective from outside x'D

by Jacky Holtermann

Yeah, with my cool gameboy-phone-cover x3
And a picture I took at the metro station
while waiting for the train to J-Store to arrive ^.^

Of course I also took some photos with nice and lovely people ♥
with Eiri again:

cool outfit of his isn't it?

with Ruha and Meto-Teddy:

and with Feli ♥
she also tried one of my selfmade onigiri *happy*

Eiri when I told him 'look like you're having fun' x'D

And Feli again how we saw her most of the day x3
(but I somehow really like this picture *-*)
 

The day was a lot of fun ^.^
Thanks to everyone who has been there ♥
And this time there even is a video (made by Feli)

I hope there will be more events like this in Hamburg ♥
It was a really great day ^.^

Thank you for reading (^.^)v
