The first ticket I got was #16 and I originally only planned on taking on photo since each ticket was ridiculously expensive for this instore for some reason. Then I found someone selling their ticket for 2000 yen and she mentioned it is a single digit number ticket. I didn't care about what number it was but just wanted the cheap second photo since I saved about 5000~ yen to get a second photo. I met up with the girl to buy the ticket off her before the instore and she took out the ticket to confirm with me before I pay and I saw it was #1 and I was like "EH!? #1 ban!?" And she said "Yeah, because I cannot go so I have to sell it". Man.. I was so lucky!!!
I had extra time and was hungry so I went to eat first before going to the instore. I was taking too long eating my lunch because I was also trying to write Mel a letter before I head to VRZEL's instore. By the time I arrived to Jishuban Club, 7 fans were inside already and I settled with seat #8, which was second row middle seat. That was probably my luck as well because #1's seat was the first seat to the right while Cion ended up sitting on the seat to the most far left. So if I had sat on seat #1, I would have a hard time looking at Cion.

"恋の○マ騒ぎ"トーク＆"なんでもOK"撮影会

Today's clothing theme was girly outfits. I was super excited for this instore because I've never seen them in girly outfits in real life and also I think Cion has a face where he would look great as either gender. They did not fail to make me giggle when they walked in. They were so cute!!!!
They sat down in this order from left to right: Cion, Ryoya, Shikina, Kira, Kuu.
Cion seemed to be the MC of the instore today. They first introduced their names to us. They all made up girly nick names for today's purpose! I forgot what they called themselves but I think for Cion, it was Ci-chan and posed with a peace sign next to his head *WHY SO CUTE LAAAA!? <3* (I'm only 50% positive that it's Ci-chan but my memory could not be relied on). Next they talked about their outfits, where they got it/unique thing about it, and etc so Cion mentioned about his skirt. After that, I think they were just answering questions from the questionnaires submitted by fans.
Some of the Q&A that I kind of remembered (Yes, I only remembered Cion's replied and reactions):
Q. What type of girls do you like?
A. Cion: I prefer not too tom-boyish type of girls
Q. How would you ask someone to go on a date (ask the member next to you)
A. Cion: *the first thing he asked us was which role do we want him to be as, a girl or a guy. I forgot which one in the end he was though. Cion asked Ryoya to go out with him. I forgot what he did..*
Ryoya: *he doesn't talk so he was doing obvious poses and Cion on his left "spoke" for Ryoya, basically just saying what he thought Ryoya was doing. I remember Ryoya was pretending to drive and had one of his arm around Shikina's shoulders. And the rest, I forgot lol*
After Q&A, there was extra time and Cion asked, "What shall we do now?" And then he replied himself saying, "let's do a vote on whoever's look is the cutest!" Cion started with Kuu first. (I think Cion used the nicknames but I forgot what they were)
Cion was like, "Kuu!"
*3 people raised their hands*
"YAY! 300something votes!"
"Next, Kira!"
*about 5 raised their hands*
"YAY! 938923823 votes!"
"Shikina!"
*about 1~2 raised their hands*
"Ryoya!"
*again, about 1~2 raised their hands*
"me, Ci-chan!"
*Ok, so the funny part was this. Of course I'd vote on Cion right? But I was being too shy and I was waiting for someone else to raise their hands before I raise mine. It turned out that either all Cion fans were shy OR honestly no one thought his was best other than I thought so... well... there was no reaction for like 1~2 seconds and before I decided to just raise my hand up anyways, Cion was laughing and said "haiii, Zero desu!" LOL SORRY CION..... I WAS TOO LATE TO RAISE MY HAND... *
"And the winner is (I think) Kira!"
I was half day dreaming since I didn't understand majority of what the members were talking about but when I heard the word "Osaka" and something about instore I looked up. Cion was talking a bit about the Osaka instore (the one that I went to on 11/16) and I think while he was talking, he was looking at me with a *you remembered what happened right, LOL?* face, lol. I mean who could forget what happened at a "strip" instore right!?
After the talk, we have to line up outside to for the satsueikai. I was in debate if I should take it first or not since I do have ticket #1 however I wasn't ready yet!!! I needed to change my cheki camera film to a Gudetama themed one since the one I had in my camera was expired. The staff called out "customer with #1?" Everyone looked around waiting for someone to speak up... I felt I should speak up before it gets awkward when I show up with my #1 later.. so I was like "Hai!" The staff guided me to line up as first in line. I quickly changed my film and the staff called for #1 to go in for the satsueikai. I walked in and asked the camera man(Jishuban male staff) if I can take selfie two shot with Cion and a regular cheki two shot with Cion again. The staff asked the manager if selfie style is ok or not and manager said it's ok.
The normal photo with my cheki camera was being taken first and the selfie came next. I used snow app and I chose a whiskers filter and handed the phone to Cion for him to take it. He did a peace sign near his face and so I did so too. After that, the camera man handed me back my cheki and cheki camera. Cion commented on my cheki film, "Gudetama!" and then he pointed to his bright yellow sweatshirt and I said yes! After that, we both stood up and I looked like I wanted to say something but I didn't... so I end up just staring at Cion in silence while smiling.. and Cion suddenly struck a double peace sign on head pose and said while smiling "Shi-chan!". MY HEART EXPLODED WITH HEARTS OMG. And then I still wanted to attempt to say something but then nothing came out of my mouth again... so there was another 2~3 seconds of silence. Cion struck the same pose and said the same thing again!!!! MY HEART EXPLODED AGAIN. I just ended up laughing and said "kawaii!" and I just laughed and said thank you and said bye. I actually forgot to look at other members.
I was so obsessed over Cion today. I think I really like the fact that he acted according to his character of the day. He was so cutesy, happy, and bubbly! Talked in a high pitch voice sometimes, kept striking in cute poses, smiled a lot. Why is he always so perfect!?????

My two shots with him. I thought I did a selfie check today to make sure I looked fine but then why do I look so bad next to him still lol! He was way too gorgeous! I have a soft spot for his yellow sweatshirt because he wore that on the first instore I went to.

I wasn't able to snatch a good spot for this live due to I went off to VRZEL's instore first before I came. However I knew I wasn't going to be late for BRATBAX's part because I confirmed the time with Mel. If I arrived by 18:00, I would still be able to make it for their part. I feel every single time I get more and more uncomfortable at BRATBAX's live because of the saizen Mel fangirl always gives me the oddest glances. She's so pretty but I don't feel a good aura from her towards me for I don't know what reason. So it seems like the regular fans did a bday project for Mel and XiAN and the regular Mel and XiAN saizen girls seemed to be in charge. I think BRATBAX's part started at around 20:00 and I was only able to grab one of the last rows almost center position. I never wanted to be close for BRATBAX so it was fine for me... I just didn't want to be too far back though. There was a tall girl standing right in front of me.... she kind of blocked my view on XiAN a little.. hmmm.
Today was the last day BRATBAX wore their current stage outfits. Since it was a bday live, I hoped for the bday boys to wear something special like last year but I guess not. It didn't really feel like a bday live but it was still fun! I was looking forward to meet them in person again! I don't know since when but I really like XiAN as well. I remember in November 2016 when I went to their lives, I only stared at Mel and didn't care for XiAN at all. Like last time I stared at XiAN mostly throughout the live. I purposely didn’t jump/headbang/lookdown for Xian and he pointed at me. That was my intention because I am a brat. (I honest'y didn't know what I wrote there since I wrote this part to a friend after the live)
I was surprised when they played Puppet Play since I thought they haven't played this song for a long time and Mel had forgotten how to play it (even though he wrote the song... Yes.. he is very forgetful...) I really like this song!!!!! The song I was most hyper at was "ice". It's one of my favorite songs to hear live because it's one of my favorite songs and XiAN's voice sounds very nice live with this song. They ended the live with eeny meeny!!! I ALSO LOVE THAT SONG AS WELL!!! XiAN throw his blue noose at the audience and a girl on second row slightly to the right center caught it.... I would fight her for it if I was standing anywhere near her!!! Ugh. (Yes, I am super jealous)
During MC moment, saizen Mel and XiAN fangirls handed Mel and XiAN each a cake and a booklet. XiAN looked soooo excited and happy about it! He seemed most happy about the booklet because I think he likes reading letters. Mel wasn't as expressive as XiAN but I'm sure Mel was very happy as well! They put the cake+booklet in the backstage after they are done obsessing with it.
After the live ended, I rushed to the merch table to get my reserved chekis and bought a BRATBAX towel finally! (I also picked up my Halloween chekis reserved from October) With SS and my own goods, the total was 20,000. That was enough to draw the bday special atari lottery 4 times. Winners will win a personal item of the members. I got nothing with all my tries... I was so sad! (But I still got my 4 photo tickets) I don't know how the saizen girls did it but they each got what they wanted somehow. I don't go looking at how others get their merch but I feel the Mel gya was given a tip on winning the atari items... since she seems to be good terms with the merch lady. But anyways, not sure how she did it but she won a brown Mel hat for herself and XiAN's cap for her friend. I saw another saizen XiAN fangirl win XiAN's jacket. Seriously though... I haven't seen a non saizen girl with any atari items that night. I kept thinking the system was not fair. But whatever, I didn't want that to ruin my mood but was honestly desperate for a personal item of either Mel or XiAN.
I was very excited to look at my signed chekis!!! I was laughing so hard at the Japanese Kawaii Pose part 2. I was so happy XiAN remembered our part 1 back in 2015 and so happy he did a part two so I decided I want to do this pose for one of my photo with him!
After everyone was done buying their merch, we waited inside the venue to take photos with the band. I took two photos with Mel first. When I first walked in, I gave Mel his present. (I bought Mel a Mel Minion Funko Pop figure and I wrote him a letter) MEL CASUALLY OPENED BAG to peak in it.... Why.... I am always scared to see people's reaction when I give them anything. As the typical non expressive him, he looked normal in a positive mood. I guess he doesn't hate it then? I was so scared to look in his eyes and his face. I WAS SO NERVOUS. I was also holding a second bag but that was sweets for the whole band. (I didn't get XiAN a present or wrote a letter because I didn't have time..) Mel saw me holding a second bag and he asked, "That's for XiAN? He's inside!" and he turned his head to face the door to the dressing room(?) in back of him (Maybe Mel planned to call XiAN out to get his present?) I was like, "Ah!... No. This is omiyage for everyone... I didn't get XiAN a present because I had no time....sorry!" And I think we chuckled. Then it was time for the photo. I asked Ebi for one photo to be normal shot and one photo to be selfie style. We took the normal cheki photo first, then we did the selfie. I asked Mel to choose a filter on the Snow app and he chose a bunny ear glasses one. I liked that choice too!! It was a but weird because he bent down for the selfie....as if to make his face slimmer and so.. I bent down too to try to even up in the photo.... I was the one holding the camera so it was difficult on my end on what he wants for the angle of the photo lol! After that, I just said thanks and went back inside the venue to wait for satsueikai with XiAN.
After another 5~10 minute of waiting, it was finally time to take a photo with XiAN! I was wayyyy less nervous (not really... but I was more comfortable I guess) to see XiAN. When I walked in, he looked happy to see me and held out two hands to initiate a double high five. Then I told Ebi one cheki and one selfie again. After that, I returned to XiAN and at first I was standing to his left.. then I last minute decided to stand on the right so I said WAIT! And I tried to tell XiAN to switch spots with me and he thought I wanted to stand in back of him instead so he stood in front of me and I said "ahhhh no..." So I just moved him to my left and I stood on the right. I cannot remember what triggered this but he repeated the way I said "一枚" and I said in a confused tone, "一枚...?..." and he playfully repeated me again while exaggerating the "枚"... I forgot how long we repeated that word but omg stop it XiAN.... He totally made fun of the way I said "一枚" (T_T) *sob* I'm forever scared and scared on saying that term now. I'M SORRY I SPEAK AMERICAN-ACCENT JAPANESE.. Anyways time for the photo.. I asked for a hug pose. LOL. Ok, it was awkward because I didn't react to my request as fast as he did. I do not know why my arms were above normal arm level but he hugged me while my arm was slightly up and I had no other option but to hug his neck. I think the photo turned out looking super awkward since I JUST REALIZED XiAN doesn't look in the camera often! But hey one good thing.. He hugs me for real unlike back in 2015 with his awkward hand. After the cheki shot, we did the selfie. I asked him to do the Japanese Kawaii pose 2 that he stated on the cheki so we did it with selfie style. I had trouble holding my phone and XiAN offered to hold the phone instead. I originally smiled widely but then I didn't like how I looked so last second I decided to do a kissy pout face expression.... I held my breath because XiAN's face and my face was too close... XiAN took forever to take the photo and I was nearly out of breath!!!! Right after he finally took the photo, I had to bent down a bit and took a big breath. While laughing, XiAN said, "You were holding your breath!?!?!?!" LOL I said yes and then I said maybe next year Japanese kawaii pose 3? It took him a few seconds to understand my broken Japanese but then he got it and said, "ah!!!! Yeah!" Then we said bye and before I stepped out, I wanted to hug him so I just asked him for a hug and we hugged! It was a tight hug! Thank you XiAN. He is literally the only band man I was not afraid to hug out of nowhere. (I mean I didn't see it as a problem since the first time I took a photo with them in 2015, XiAN initiated a hug before I left and he decided on the hug pose in April when I saw them.)
Today was the last day BRATBAX wore their current stage outfits. Since it was a bday live, I hoped for the bday boys to wear something special like last year but I guess not.

Not my photo
Not my photo. Mel posted a photo of all the gift he received! I see my present and letter!
After the photo, I later realized that XiAN couldn't do the Japanese Pose part 2 because... my head was in his hand's way. LOL. I'M SORRY. But it makes the photo funny. He had a semi "what....the..." face. I will do a proper one with him one day! I really like this selfie with XiAN though still!
