Today I thought that I finally had the chance to sit at home and relax, especially after a somewhat stressful week at work. However that was not the case as I made a trip down into Sydney, and for good reason. Yuki Kajiura was going to be at Kinokuniya for an autograph session. Now I wouldn’t exactly say that I’m a big fan of hers, but I have enjoyed the music she has composed for a number of series such as Noir, the .hack series, Tsubasa Chronicle, and Kimagure Orange Road. Still, it’s not often that we get to see such a special guest here in Australia, so I took this chance to head down there, and return home with this:
I for one enjoyed Noir greatly, and it just so happens that this Noir boxset is also the first DVD boxset that I completed when I began my venture to the Otaku side of the Force. So having this autographed by Yuki Kajiura makes it that much more special to me. Though I bet some of you are asking why she is here in Sydney. Well it just so happens that this weekend is also Eminence’s A Night in Fantasia 2007, which I will be attending tomorrow as well. It will also be my first time attending an Eminence concert so I’m not sure on what to expect, but rest assured, you will be surprised about a little something which I’ll mention later.
Also to note, I also turned down a photography job with my photography boss to attend this autograph session. I do feel kind of bad turning down the job as he likes working with me. I brought the shiny camera hoping to get a photo with Yuki Kajiura, but upon arrival, I was told that photos weren’t allowed, uguu~~~ Since it was also a trip to Kinokuniya, I didn’t walk away empty handed:
It’s a manga called Nusunde Lilth, and I have absolutely no idea on what it’s about. The second volume was in the New Release section of Japanese manga and I just so happened to get it, and went searching for the first volume which I also found. This was bought on a random whim, and I just found the coverart to be cute. But you know how it goes, being random is the best!
;_; why didn’t you come by here and pick up mine as well!?
Damn, the news on Madman said the date for autographs was yesterday but i was sick so i couldn’t go. Now i see it was actually today >
The autograph session was much faster than I thought…not as much people
but no photos =(
No way, a signed Noir boxset! I’m so jealous!
D=…
As a fan of her music… D=
*cries in the corner*
OMFG! I despise you right now Adun! =P
Nah just frustration because I couldn’t make it to yesterdays signing. Only found out about it on the last minute and i was really looking forward to getting my copy .Hack//Quarantine signed T_T
Oh a sidenote someone from the ppl in charge of the Kino Newsletter needs to be subjected to pain xD The last monthly newsletter I go had nothing about the signing @_@
Haha, the only thing I cared about Nusunde Lilth is that it’s by Tinkerbell and I love Tinkerbell’s art.
khardic_paladin: Your BURNING PASSION should have made you want to attend this session rather than stay at home.
Maiku: Really? I had a glance at the Madman forums and saw they did make an announcement about the autograph session. Such a shame about being sick though.
Bubby: I made up for the photos at the actual concert.
BrikHaus: It’s a very awesome item in my collection now.
Hijiko: Perhaps one day you will get to meet her.
RocK_M: I didn’t know you were such a big fan. Shame that you couldn’t make it. But even if you took out only 2-3 hours of your day you would’ve gotten an autograph easily. Also the autograph session wasn’t really announced until last Thursday on the Eminence site. A bit late I reckon.
Silver: I thought the artwork looked familiar. Well it’ll just sit on my pile of loot until I get to it.
Aaaaaah I am so damned jealous haha ^^;
You sure have now a true treasure.
