I just attended MNL48’s fan meetup held in the Movie Stars Cafe in Seaside Boulevard, MOA. I know, I know, it seems strange for a group that has yet to hold auditions to have a fan meeting. But this is different. In fact, I’ve never heard of anything quite like it.
For starters, everyone present in the venue are fans of AKB48. Whether they may be old-timers or fairly new ones like me. Everyone was wondering what event was all about and what in the world would we do for the three hours we will be there. I’m sure the promise of goodies and the possibility – however remote – that there would be a video message of some kind from AKB48 are enough for any fan to stand in line in the heat of noon….which is exactly what we did.
