中原麻衣 handshake event @ Shibuya Animate
I shook hands with Nakahara Mai today. That’s all I wanted to say.
Okay not really. =P
While the らぶドル event was the first time I saw Nakahara Mai in person, it was still a good few metres away. Today was up close and personal. She seems taller than I remembered her from the previous event, but her hand felt smaller for a person of her size. This handshake event was conducted as a promotion of her new mini album 「ファンタジア」(Fantasia), and to participate one only have to reserve the CD at Animate and pay full price up front in exchange for a ticket. Embrassingly, while I remembered the event itself, I actually forgot to pickup the CD from Animate which was released way back on the 27th of September, though I managed to turn this into a conversation topic with Mai so it turned out not so bad. Of course I also managed to push my foreigner angle which never fails to get a reaction from them, and I found out that she’s never been to Australia. I should’ve volunteered to be her tour guide on the spot. =p
Now back to listening to her mini-album.
