Yesterday was the Dear Girl ~Stories~ 4 Lovers Only event at Pacifico Yokohama. It rained practically all day. As expected from Ono “Rain Man” Daisuke. I didn’t get to sleep until 2AM because I was working on organizing the letters and art for the project. Thank you to everyone who participated!! I’ve posted some photos in the gallery above. I only had a black marker so all the colored parts were written with Gundam Marker, haha. (Please don’t mind the fact that I wrote “Yokohama Pacifico” instead of “Pacifico Yokohama.” >_> It was 2AM.)
Anyway, I woke up at 5:30AM and was out the door before 6 in order to line up for goods by 8. There were already lots of people by the time I got there. Waited for four hours for them to start selling goods. During that time it would rain off and on. Sometimes the rain would come very suddenly. Other times it was sunny and bright out. Whenever it’d get sunny, I imagined it was because Kamiya “Sunny Man” Hiroshi gave OnoD a good kick in the butt. ^^; They finally did start selling goods at 12 and I bought pretty much everything except Suwa san’s tshirt and the Neko Masshigura Hibiki Kan. I also bought the Hibiki drama CD and received a clear file of Kamiya and OnoD as a bonus. (My only reason for buying it. ^^;) There were no purchase limits. FYI, some goods from the event, including the pamphlet and tshirts, will be on sale online. The pamphlet has a lot of great photos, including ones of Kamiya and OnoD holding swords. They looked like yakuza. XD Going for the dirty agent look, maybe?
After buying goods, I had lunch with friends and got back to the venue a little after 4PM when doors were supposed to open. There was a very long line to get in. …And it was rainy and windy. We finally got in though and my friend and I went to our seats in the 24th row (aisle). We had a great view of the stage. I got ready with my towel and all. I had changed into the Ono Daisuke produce tshirt during lunch. For tshirts this time they had girls’ and men’s sizes. I bought the girls’ M size and the length of the shirt was perfect, but the part where the sleeve connects under your armpit was a bit tight. I was able to exchange the Kamiya shirt for an L size but OnoD’s shirt was already sold out by the time we got back, and of course I was wearing the one I had bought so I wouldn’t be able to exchange it anyway.

This month’s issue of SYLPH does not include a chapter of DGS Hibiki but they announced the goods that will be on sale at the DGS event in April, as well as upcoming DGS Hibiki furoku that will be included with the magazine.

First up, the furoku!
As mentioned on last week’s DGS, upcoming issues of SYLPH will include straps as bonuses. July’s issue (to be released 5/21) will include a rubber strap of HiroC, OnoD, and Nyaa san. The August issue (to be released 6/22) will include a figure strap of HiroC, and the September issue (to be released 7/22) will include a figure strap of OnoD. The figure straps are similar to those included in previous issues. Aren’t they adorable? =)
Next, as with every DGS public recording, the 4 Lovers Only event in April will feature new tshirts! Each will retail for 2500 yen. Kamiya’s tshirt design reads “Experience Heart Strength & horse?” in reference to this year’s birthday episode where he started writing “経験 (keiken/experience) and it somehow turned into “馬 (uma/horse).” OnoD’s tshirt is “We <3 DG,” following up on his “I <3 DG” design, and Suwa san’s tshirt is “Do Glasses Sadistics.”
As for DGS Hibiki goods, they’ll be selling the following:
- HiroC/OnoD netsuke straps – 500 yen each
- Goods Set 4 Lovers Only – 3500 yen
Includes a tumbler mug, 2 earl grey tea bags, a ticket and photo album, and a set of HiroC/OnoD teru teru bouzu straps inside a large shopper bag
- Neko Masshigura Hibiki Can Premium – 800 yen
Milk and melonu-flavored caramel candies inside a cat food-like can
- Long Poster (2-poster set) – 500 yen
The event is just over a month away. So exciting!
Lastly, I mentioned it on Hibiki’s Twitter account, but the release of the DGS album, Stories, has been delayed until April 6th due to the large earthquake on March 11th.
