This year wasn’t so much about attending AFA 2011 as I reached the place rather late at about 6pm. With little time to spare since the concert is starting at 7pm, I headed straight to Toycoin’s booth to say hello and purchased one of their badges.I wandered around and not surprisingly, a lot of the goods have already been sold out. I saw some pretty nice T-shirts but with a hefty price tag of close to $50, I passed on them. One of the albums I really wanted, “Keep the Beats!” by Girls Dead Monster, was there as well but pricing was oh-so-expensive. Thus, I decided not to buy it but I shall ask my seniors who are heading to Japan for their SEP to help me source the album out. Odex had some nice bundled items and I really wanted to get my hands on the Haruhi bundle since they have a nice and large 3D poster of Nagato Yuki from the movie but atlas, that poster was sold out as well. I settled with a Domo-kun bundle and went straight to the concert thereafter.
This was an extremely difficult decision to make when we were purchasing tickets. At that time when they announced that LiSA was coming, I was overjoyed as she was the singer for Yui in Girls Dead Monster and thus decided to go for the Saturday one although I’ve already heard Aniki live and as for Flow, I do not really listen to them save from a few songs. May’N was also an ok for me since I only listen to a few of her songs thus it was leaning towards the Saturday concert more than the Sunday. However, they decided to drop a bomb on me.
It was soon announced that Kalafina will be performing on a Sunday and I was really dumbfounded. Kalafina has always had one of the higher priorities if I wanted to attend a concert and I was stuck between choosing either the two (Saturday or Sunday) or to go for both days. With exams the week after and with a lot of strain financially, I was lamenting for days before orders for the tickets were opened. They decided to add the final artists to the roster and along came angela for the Sunday. That sealed my decision and I chose Sunday for my concert.
