25/08/12 J-pop Summit Festival Day 1

12:45:00 AM 16 Comments A+ a-

Hey guys!

Thank-you so much for all your birthday wishes, I had a great birthday! ^_^ I'll blog about it a bit later, since I want to get all my San Francisco posts done!

Today I'm going to blog about day 1 at the San Francisco J-pop Summit Festival! For those of you who didn't know, Liz Lisa flew me to the United States to work in the Liz Lisa Pop-up store. They found me through my blog/youtube so I feel really lucky!

Look of the day~
Aino-san did my hair for me!


We then went to the New People store in JapanTown to set up~

Had breakfast in the cafeteria first




Her name is "Aino" but they wrote "I-know" instead? haha.

We then headed up to the Liz Lisa pop-store and did last minute preparations

Aino-san fixing up my hair for me

Taking photos before the store opened, lol.



The other girls getting ready



I was working with Aino and Hiroko, they're both Liz Lisa staff from Japan!


Group photos~



I didn't have any troubles working at the Liz Lisa store, in Australia I work in retail at a clothing store so I was doing pretty much the same thing I do in Australia, except with Liz Lisa clothes haha. All the customers were really lovely! Almost everyone I talked to commented on my Australian accent hahah.

I also got to meet some of my subscribers that came along to say hi to me! Unfortunately I couldn't get photos with all of you guys :( But I'm really grateful to everyone who said hi to me!

One of my subscribers who runs Melody Virus gave me one of the items she sells in her store ^_^





I also met a blogger Bouncy Brown!


I was given a break so I was allowed to walk around


And I met up with Wenjin!


I had ramen!

Wenjin and I actually have known eachother for about 6 years! haha. We met on Youtube again last year, so I'm really glad that I finally got to meet her!

I also met Shirley!! I met her on Youtube last year and she's been a great friend! I didn't get to hang out with them for long because I was working, but I was so happy to be able to finally meet them in person!

Shirley, Wenjin and I!

I was just soooo tired that day so I didn't take any photos during dinner. I only got 2 hours sleep the night before because I was so jetlagged :( And I also didn't get any sleep on the plane either.. The time difference was 16hours I think? so it was quite crazy T_T

Anyway, I'm going to finish off with a photo I took on that night of the City Hall.


I know I said I will try blog more often, but things have just gotten so busy for me. Work and uni have been really busy lately... but I will try my best!

I really hope they do something like this in Europe some time. Do you know if there will be more added to the Autumn/Winter line? I'm in Japan in December and I can only see a few things I want to buy.
You look adorable as usual. I love the girl with the two side plaits, her hair is gorgeous! Serious hair envy going on.

That would have totally made my year! hehehe. Hope you visit Los Angeles in the future. You should do a meetup! xoxo CHIE

oh i love the items...! did you have a lot of sales? if i had known earlier, i probs would have swapped my baltimore trip for this (did i say that already? lol) anyway, if liz lisa does another pop up in the US, i hope to hear about it, and i WILL take a plane flight, if needed; imo it's worth it. glad you got to meet so many people though. and i think your look is really sweet, the lip color is quite flattering. did i mention i just love the dress? hiroko is super cute... o///o and aino did an awesome job with her hair. truth be told, it took me a few seconds before i figured out i-know XD. happy belated kim :)


ps, i wish they were hiring for clothing retail here; i've applied for several places, but alas, no dice D:

There definitely will be more items added to the Winter line! Not sure about the Autumn line though ^^;; I think the new Winter line should be out around November?

The first day had a lot of sales, the second day not as much but it did quite well ^^


Getting a job in retail is really hard where I live too since it's really competitive :( I guess I'm really lucky to be able to get the job ><
