Last night was another long night but it was really fantastic.
We got there too early and were asked to come back later because she wasn't there yet, so we camped at Starbucks for about an hour and went back. And then...rehearsal started. XD I feel like I might have been a bit drill-sargeant-ish, but I really wanted it all to go well. We did the first chorus from MY ALL and I changed the lyrics from "sore ga boku no negai desu" to "kore ga ayu e no negai desu" (translated, it went from "This is my wish" to "This is our wish for Ayu").
There was a decent crowd last night, I would say nearly 20 people, and as soon as she came out we started singing and dancing and she looked so touched. She clapped after we finished the first part but then we kept going and she was shocked and covered her mouth with her hands, told us it was beautiful and that she'd never forget it.
I'm so happy I had the opportunity to fly down to Los Angeles to see her...it was even more perfect than I'd imagined, and having a chance to talk with her a little more last night made me so happy. I'm so happy. <3
