VAMPIRES
We met on the Internet through our love for our idol Akina Nakamori, and I am happy to declare that we have added two esteemed members to our FUN gang. We have the evergreens, Danny Bunny, Kenji Fushigi Shounen and Ranbi, and during this trip, we met up with three HK Akina fans, Jerry, Anthony and Tina. We didn't get to spend too much time with Tina, which was a pity, but she seemed a really lovely person. Amazingly, we hit it off immediately with Jerry and Anthony and quickly settled into conversations about Akina and I'm happy to say, deeper into who we are, as human beings.
The "problem" that we used to have is that because of our common love, we rarely talk about ourselves and who we are, in real life. Our conversations usually revolve around Akina and since she has been rather lazy of late, the conversations can quickly taper off into "recycled material". With the introduction of Jerry and Anthony, some of us are able to delve into our personal lives, and it is great to know them as friends, rather than just fellow fans of Akina. Even though we are die-hard fans, we are highly critical of Akina and her mistakes, so we usually have so much fun in whatever we do.
As usual, we proceeded for our annual Karaoke session, and we had lots of fun singing, imitating, and laughing at the lame video clips accompanying the songs. Anthony turned out to be the hidden "diamond" of the group and he serenaded us with many beautifully sung melodies, including the very difficult 「瞳を閉じて」. So, he wins the 最優秀歌唱賞 while the 物真似大賞 goes to Danny Bunny for his impersonation of 水前寺清子's 「浪花節だよ人生は 」, complete with hand chops at the end. H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!! I will upload his video performance as proof as soon as I get his approval.
Although they are my newest group of friends that I made, I dare say that our friendship has grown at an exponential rate because of the generosity, honesty and acceptance within the group. We are proof that people do not need to be physically together all the time to develop strong friendships. All it takes is dedication and a kind loving heart.
Danny is caught out below in the first photo when he told us all to do an Akina pose (photo attached below), but most of us ignored. He protested, so we took another, but this time, our visitors from HK ignored us. Ha! Ha!
