Kyary Pamyu Pamyu live concert in Germany ! ♥ きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ

Hi there (^-^)v
So lets just drop the big news *tries to be calm*
On the 27th of April I went to the concert of the great & kawaii
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu | きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
She makes japanese electro-pop and is one of my 3
favourite artists in the world (besides Perfume and Emilie Autumn) ♥

I can't describe how stunning her live performance was, she does a really
perfect job and is always super kawaii ♥
I arrived at the concert hall at 9 a.m, I was the second person to arrive.
I really wanted to take this chance to get close to her, as I knew the
concert hall is rather small and you'd be able to get very close to the stage.
I knew this as I went there to see a concert of Perfume last year,
read my entry about the Perfume concert here.
I ended up standing in the very middle of the  first row !

The stage and Kyary were only about 2 meters away from me,
I couldn't believe my luck! That day I was the happiest girl in the world ^^
So, let me show you some photos of the concert: 

Kyary also filmed a message to her fans inviting everyone
to her concert in Cologne, Germany and talking abour her world tour:
with English and German subtitles

Kyary's Tweet : "I arrived in Germany! Good morning!"

A picture I took of her: 

At the concert I met lots of lovely people and also lots of
poeple and friends I know from the German "Tokyo fashion scene".
Thank you for the great time guys, this really made the waiting hours
a lot more fun ! ♥ °ﾟ°｡｡ヾ( ~▽~)ﾂ ﾜｰｲ♪

I also met two maids from the German Maid café Lucky chocolate 
Riina Bonbon (right) & Mimi (left)
It was great seeing you cuties ! I'm always happy when I see some of
the Maids at events, they're so delightful ~♥

Another Kyary fan dressed up with the outfit from the music video to
"Pon Pon Pon", she stood next to me during the concert. Also a really sweet girl, she went here to so Kyary from Belgium ^^
It was a pleasure meeting you ! ~♪

Now lets go on with some more cute photos from the concert ♥

This was a really cute outfit Kyary wore at some point during the concert:

I absolutely love the huge glittery bow ! ♥
I guess this dress should look Europe/Germany themed ?
It reminds me a little of a Dirndl dress.

Of course you could also get some merchandise at the concert ^^

So I got this cute T-shirt ♥ Kyary wore it at the end of her concert,
you can see it on some of the photos above.
I really love the pastel colours. On it's back are the tour dates.

This is an image Kyary uploaded to her twitter while she was in Germany.
She's standing in front of the famous Cologne Cathedral :

This was Kyary's stage which was designed by Sebastian Masuda,
the founder of 6% Doki Doki ! ♥ You can really see this I think ^^
It looks super cute, I love this Pop-art look.
He also designed the setting for her music video to "PonPonPon".

~♥~

 

I decided to do my nails in a DecoDen inspired look
the night before the concert because I was so very excited
- I just couldn't sleep early .．・ヾ(~◇~)ノ・ ギャー！
This is how it turned out, I really wanna practise this again some more. Currently I'm not doing my nails very often in such an elaborate way.
Hime Gyaru nails ~♥

Neko's music :

• This is Kyary's new song "Family Party • ファミリーパーティー"
she also performed at the concert in cologne :


• I also absolutely love Kyary's new song Sungoi Aura すんごいオーラ ♥
It's used in this commercial :

• This is a video a fan filmed at the concert in cologne

That's it for today

Visiting a temple with my Kimono club ♥ Neko in a Furisode Kimono

Hi there (^-^)v ~♪

On the 1st of January 2014 I visited the buddhist
Eko-Ji Temple in Düsseldorf with the Kimono club of my 

university in which I am. We had a really great time ♥
I hope all of you had a great start into this year !
My friend Bea who's currently living in Japan let me wear
her Furisode Kimono ! I love how it looks *-*
Our leader Becci helped everyone with the complicated
Obi tie-techniques. Thank's for always being so helpful and caring ! :3
It felt really nice to go out wearing Kimono again in such a big group.
These are some of our Kimono club members :

[ In the background of the photo you can see the temple ]

~♥~
If you want to wear a Kimono too you can get dressed
 and borrow a Kimono-Set for 1 Day here :
Kimono Rental : Hanabiraya
The service is only available in Düsseldorf and the area around it.
~♥~

I was really glad Becci let me wear one of their white stoles

for Kimono *-* I've always been wanting to wear one.
You also wear this on
♥ Seijin no Hi 成人の日 ♥
It's a Japanese holiday called coming of age day on which
you realize and celebrate that you have become an adult.
It is held anually on the second monday of January.
So my time finally comes next monday ! I'm really excited ♪
This day has been something really special to me since I learned
about it when I was 14. I think the outfits are really enchanting
and very appropriate for such an important event in your live.
Heer are some pictures from Seijin no Hi in Japan :

Oh gosh the pink Kimono on the very left is the prettiest ever !
I want to get a similar one soon ♥

The back of my outfit :

With Wiebke ~♥

A snapshot I took of Valeria *-*
I also did her hair ♪ I think she looked really elegant.

Our leader Becci ~ her Obi was just stunning ♥

~♥~

Us walking inside the Japanese garden in front of the temple :

~♥~

At the temple you could put some money in this box and then pray.

Inside :

After our visit at the temple we all cooked together with Becci at her home.
She translated some Japanese recipes for us ♥
I'm always happy to learn some new things to cook from her ! *-*
Her food always is so delicious. We had different kinds of Onigiri,
self-made Miso soup and some side dishes.

I cooked the sweet potatoes :

Neko's music:

A song by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu fitting to Seijin no hi:
can you hear her sing: "Hatachi 二十歳" ?
It means "being 20 years old" ♥ like I am.

English Lyrics :
Hatachi(=20 years old), hatachi, hatachi, hatachi!
I, hatachi, frisodation of hatachi!
Hatachi, hatachi, only hatachi?
You see, I'm hatachi, hurisodation of hatachi!

Hello,
on such an aniversary
I can say "thank you" from my heart
Though I'm always shy,
this is the important day, just onece in my life

The bitter part of chocolate...
Is it adult? Is is child?
I wanna dream forever, so 
get into this rhythm 

Thank you,
to meet you everyone,
I have had many kinds of adventure
This year, and even next year comes,
I won't forget this excitement!

I light the candle light
for you, who always love a love like
the sweet and sour part
in a short cake 

Is it happy to be an adult?
Is it sad to be an adult?
What to do?
What can I do?
Can I do only now?

Thank's for reading !
See you next time (^-^)v ~♥ nyan
