Celebrities at Otakon!!

As it turns out I am terrible at reporting things in the order that they occurred. I'm only good at talking about things that excited me as I remember them :s



Oh well!! My blog, my way I suppose!


There were several celebrities that attended Otakon this year!

There was CHEMISTRY, Japanese R&B duo:

I had never heard of them before I registered for Otakon.
They performed Friday evening and the concert hall was PACKED. I got there late because I was coming from a panel and I almost couldn't get a seat :s They're very good performers and know how to get a crowd excited!! It's not my type of music but I really enjoyed the concert :D

There's also Nobuo Uematsu  *bows*

He is best known for his musical compositions for Final Fantasy! Apparently he made a special appearance but I missed him....drat=/


Then there is the amazing Makoto Shinkai

He's known for producing, animating, directing and voice acting his own movies!! And from what my friends were saying they're all pretty good. One of my friends that came with us waited TWO HOURS in line to get his autograph and when she finally met him, she cried. It was so cute><!!  I say cute becuase I've never seen her cry before; even to this day! (I wasn't there when she cried in front of him)

Then there was....KYLEE

She's half-japanese, born and raised in Arizona and a J-rock singer in Japan. She's an honor roll student and she's only 17!!
I was particularly excited to see her. I first heard her music through the anime Xam'd and was impressed by how strong her vocals were even she was only about 15 (?)  at the time. Her singles are usually very hopeful, bright and positive and I like her colorful style. I went to her Q&A panel and she's also very  mature for her age^^

Though the first time I came face to face with Kylee at Otakon it was at one of her autograph sessions. There weren't many people so we got to the front pretty quickly. I didn't have anything for her to sign so I bought a T-shirt. (It was a t-shirt that promoted her single It's You/Missing. ) But as soon as I got to the front of the line all I could do was say "Hi" at that moment my favorite song by her It's You starting playing. I shouted stupidly "Omigosh this is my favorite song!" rattling the T-shirt I had just bought in my hands. Kylee smiled at me at which point I started bawling ;A; She asked me what my name was so that she could sign my T-shirt but I was unresponsive at the moment so Ari had to answer for me. It was too surreal. She's so pretty in person!!!

*sigh* Sadly I could get a good picture of her during the autograph session. Actually Ari took this picture. I was one line, only a few steps away from meeting KYLEE :D

This was Saturday I believe. I saw her concert Sunday as well. It was so AWESOME!!!
We were allowed to take photos without flash...as if I would take the time to take photos while I was enjoying KYLEE's concert pfft!!!

Well I tried to take one.

She was absolutely radiant on stage. Though the concert hall didn't fill out like it did for Chemistry's concert by the end there was definitely a substantial increase in her fan base at Otakon :)

At the beginning of the concert there weren't many people at Kylee's merchandise table so I figured I'd just buy her new CD after the concert. BOY WAS I WRONG

The line wrapped around the hall!!

Good thing I had gotten my shirt signed the day before^____^

The front of my pick, black and white It's You/Missing t-shirt (my favorite single!)

Ufufufu♥ She signed my name.....but I covered itXD!!


The also stuck this in your bag

 It's a dual advertisement for both Kylees newest single Never Give Up (which I ordered) and the sports line adidas which Kylee also models for.



She signs "with ♥ Kylee"^^

And if that wasn't enough for a fan I ran into Kylee AGAIN. In the hotel lobby of course^^

I was in the middle of showing my friends the pictures I took of the  lolita fashion designers when her the staff just waltzed in the lobby doors. I don't really remember if the people greeting her were fans or more staff but I ran over and thanked her for coming to Otakon anyways. I remember her giving my a hug but I don't remember how ;A; 

Then someone mentioned a picture and in a rash decision I followed the large group outside. Some how I ended up in a picture with Kylee O.o Now that I think about it it looked like a staff picture so maybe I shouldn't have been in it....But I gave my camera to them and they took it the picture with ME in it after I asked so maybe it was alright...I don't know..they can crop me out of it^^

 

I'm the only one with my Otakon badge on O.o Oh well....

What's done is done I suppose^^ And I do count this as today's miracle! A picture with Kylee :) Whether I was supposed to be in it or not! 


*sigh* There are a few more things I want to report on but this is it for now^^

Cherries ♥ Lolita

I had Organic Rainier Cherries for breakfast :D

So good!!! I ate a whole bag! I don't even like cherries that much, but these are TASTY man!

Right I did  say I would be talking more about Otakon didn't I? 

Well our group stayed in the Hyatt Hotel, which is literally right across the street from the convention center making it the most convenient place to stay. (and the most expensive) Many of the special guests stayed there as well...and I ran into a few of them. The first ones being  BABY fashion designer Masumi Kano and ALICE and the PIRATES fashion designer Mitsuba
.

They're so perfect ;A;

I was just herp-derping around the lobby with Ari (who was knocked out on a couch at the time) ,waiting for my friends to show up so that we could start making our way home Sunday afternoon and I turned around to see two Japanese girls dressed perfectly in lolita. And they were so poised!!  I hadn't taken many pictures at the con so I figured. I MUST TAKE THIS PICTURE!!!

I herp-derped over and asked them if I could take a picture in Japanese. They simply exchanged glances and struck perfect poses. I took my picture and herp-derped away.
Finally a girl from our group of friends approached me to tell me that it was time to go, I guess but she asked, "Aren't those the fashion designers?"

I can't believe I just waltzed up to them without realizing who they were. They were just SO PERFECT I couldn't resist!!
If that isn't a miracle I don't know what is/ How often do you get to run into two notable figures in lolita/harajuku fashion...in America...BY MISTAKE!!






I'm a herp-derp for life you guys.

ねむい。。。。
Ciao♥

Toto

Hi Hi♥ Like my new layout? I worked pretty hard on it! I especially like the clock and calendar widgets on the side!!

I know I said that I would start reporting on Otakon but well....I haven't had time to sit and type without being interrupted even once!! And now it's one in the morning and I have to sleep. So I'll share a piece of my experience with you now :D Today's miracle :

 It's a tornado!!! In DC!!!

Yes, DC...The con was in Baltimore, but we had some time to kill Sunday afternoon before the bus ride home and decided to do a bit of site seeing. Our DC friends (our meaning me, Ari and my two high school friends) took us to the Capital. We were about to take a picture in front of the Washington Monument and it just appeared out of NO WHERE!! 

It tore down a dirt road for about twenty; thirty feet and then just vanished!! I only caught the end of it. It wasn't as big as the one that blew Dorothy, Toto and their house into Land of Oz (thank god) but it looked big enough that you could stand in its epicenter with room. It was pretty big....

Also, we saw ducks!!!

(I'm a city girl okay? I don't see ducks that often....except in Central Park.)

And they were fishing^^ It was pretty funny to see their tails wag in the air as they ducked down under the lake's surface for food.

 (Haha, my friend said I should call this picture Sasuke because his hair looks like a duck buttXD!!!....yeah....)

We fed them spicy peanuts..which was weird they REALLY liked them but kept drinking massive amounts of water after each bite. But they don't like lettuce...I had a burger from McDonalds and they ate the bread but no the lettuce =/

I hope that's not considered animal cruelty 0___0

Meh....I'm sure they're fine^____^

Overall I had a lot of fun even outside of the con. And I'm glad I went! Soooo want to go next year!!


Okay pictures of the ACTUAL con next time I promise!!! I've got some celebrity pictures to show :D
But right now my camera is dead ;A;

Good night♥

Hello Everyone :3 It's DOUBLE RAINBOW!!

Hi, I'm Ki :3

I promised myself that when I reach 500 subscribers on Youtube I would start a personal blog. Well this is it^^

 I'm going to call it MirakuruKi becaus I want to share all the small miracles that I experience this summer and further on. I'm not very consistent when it comes to updating but I'll try to write a new entry as often as I can.

If this is the first time you've heard of me, then I'll explain a little more about what I do =)

You see my twin sister and I have a channel on youtube called BorderlineChocolate. I originally made the channel to favorite videos but about a year and a half ago we started periodically posting dance covers of our favorite J-pop artists. A lot has happened since then and after a lot of hard work we've managed to gain 500 subscribers ^___^

And now I'm going to share with you my first miracle.

It's a double rainbow=)

What's amazing about this is that it's a double rainbow in New York City!! I never thought I'd see one but after it rained one day, the skies cleared up and there it was. You can sort of see it from the picture but it's full rainbow! It was BEAUTIFUL:)

My mother has better pictures of it so when she sends them to me I'll share them with you^^ 

And that was my first miracle. I hope you enjoyed it

Ki <3
