LiSA in Singapore 2015 Part 2: Airport Welcome

comments

A huge crowd of ardent supporters awaited LiSA at the airport

Previously, each of us shared about how we all first heard of LiSA. We asked some fans in the LiSA Singapore Fan Club about their own experiences and we found out that most of them got to know her through the anime Angel Beats too, similar to us. In this edition, we take a look at how her fans welcomed her the day before her concert after arriving at Changi Airport.

That was how we both got to know LiSA and came to love her songs. I think that each of us who attended the concert would have our own special stories in which we came to know her. We would love to go straight to talking about the concert but before that, let's look back at the events on the day before the concert.

Organisers Japan Music Festival must have known that the LiSAkkos in Singapore were an ardent bunch and wanting to make LiSA's first solo concert memorable for both the fans and her, they released her flight arrival information on Friday, which no doubt sent the fans into a frenzy. We did not head down to Changi Airport but we followed the happenings on Facebook and Twitter.

One of our friends managed to take a selfie with LiSA when she wandered into the arrival hall, where fans from the LiSA Singapore Fan Club were eagerly awaiting. Boy, were we green with envy!

She was delighted that she received such a warm welcome upon her arrival in Singapore and took a few group pictures together with the fans. Fans also passed her gifts and made a long banner for her with the words, “Okaerinasai, LiSA! (Welcome home, LiSA!)” It was indeed heartwarming to see Singapore greeting her with such passion and excitement and made her feel truly at home.

DAY OF THE CONCERT

Moving on to the concert, we reached Sentosa around four in the afternoon on Saturday. Some of the concert merchandise were already sold out, including LiSA’s Launcher album, which came with a free special signed postcard that Eugene had wanted to buy. She sure is popular, isn’t she? We saw many excited LiSA fans waiting outside the Resorts World Theatre, chatting animatedly.

Several members of her fan club were handing out printouts of the lyrics to her song “Itsuka no Tegami”, which they planned to rally all the concert-goers into singing before her encore segment.


After entering the theatre around 6pm, we waited and waited and there was still no sight of LiSA at 6.30pm. Finally...
