On June 10, I went to Mrs. GREEN APPLE's event, Ceremony '26.

In short, the music was grand.

The Music Was Grand

Most of the artists were people I already liked, so it was easy to stay immersed in the whole event. ORANGE RANGE especially is a group I personally love. I even went to one of their concerts when I was in elementary school, so I never expected I would get to see them there.

The venue got so loud for them that I honestly think they might have had the biggest reaction after Mrs. GREEN APPLE.

And Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu was way too cute. I have always loved idols, but this was my first time seeing an idol group live, so I really thought, "So this is what idols are like."

The performance that moved me most was s**t kingz's "Ai ga Akirehateru Made." The performance and the lyrics were both wonderful, and it felt perfect for Ceremony.

Walking Around Yokohama Alone

Related to that, I also walked around Yokohama by myself for a little while.

I usually travel with my parents. This time, because of work schedules, I got on the Shinkansen first and arrived in Yokohama a little early. I went sightseeing alone. It was a small life lesson.

First, since a friend of mine did not get selected for Ceremony, I bought merch for them before heading to Chinatown.

Some students were calling out, "Student discount, 100 yen off!! Cheap!" and I got pulled in and bought four xiaolongbao. They were really good.

After that I ate a cheese hot dog, and by then I was already painfully full. Then I went to Yamashita Park and enjoyed the view.

On the way back, I wanted xiaolongbao again so badly that I bought another four. I was completely satisfied.

After that I met up with my parents, went to the hotel, and then headed to the event.

Stopping By Apple Kawasaki

A few days later, I went to Apple Kawasaki and tried Vision Pro for, I think, the 11th time. It was still great.

The staff are probably thinking, "If you are going to try it 11 times, just buy it already," but I will buy one once I save more money.

Changing topics, my AirPods Pro have been acting up recently, so I ended up buying Beats Fit Pro. I tried them in the store too, and the fit felt amazing, so I bought them right away. They are excellent. Really good.

I Am Glad I Went

What this event taught me is that music is grand, and that going somewhere you do not usually go is a good thing.

I missed school for this trip, but that is okay. I had worked hard until then. Now that it is over, I need to work twice as hard.

It was truly wonderful.

Mom, thank you so much for letting me go.
