Not that long ago, yet another one of many idol performances would be announced, taking place in Downtown LA near Little Tokyo. At a venue called the High Tide, a tiny little establishment, that is the perfect size for more smaller sized events like this one! This was the Idol Jam Vol. 1 featuring such acts as Bunneye, Strawberry Sunday, Berry, Phoebe, Yurapico and Aonyan! The last two performers being from Japan!
A line had already been forming outside the venue close to 3PM, when early entry doors for the VIP ticket holders, myself included, but the doors did not let everyone in at 3PM, it was more like 3:30PM, where all were gathered inside, took a group photo with the idol performers, then were able to browse around the merchandise booths set up and grab a drink! No food was available at this venue sadly.
Upon the 4PM time slot, is when general admission audiences were let inside, and by 4:30PM the first idol group would play which was Bunneye, a trio act, but this time it was just a duo. Their third member not being present due to other arrangements. But their performance wasn’t half bad, they combined pop with some rap elements, creating a style that made their performance catchy yet fun. Their persona were dogs, so the crowd barked and chanted proudly, even briefly singing “Who let the dogs out!”
BUNNEYE:
Next up would be another idol duo Strawberry Sunday, performing a solid set of songs, the crowd was really being into the whole set. Lots of chants, jumping, penlight, light stick waving, and singing along at times, with the band ending their set with two cover songs of Festive’s “Left to Right” and “BabyMetal’s “Headbanger!”, getting the crowd really moving, making it a worth wild experience.
STRAWBERRY SUNDAY:
Following would be Berry performing her hit single “Dreaming”, along with many other songs, that had such a hyper active energy source, it had the whole room floored! Lots of jumping, shouting, just such energy of momentum it was endless. She is always so fun to meet and see perform live, she never seems to disappoint, but makes her performance so fulfilling and fun!
BERRY:
Catching her performance previously, Phoebe, had such fun filled energy, her performance was just as fun, but brought down a more mellow energy. Lots of crowd interaction, with cheers and lights all around, made her performance elemental yet entertaining.
Yurapico was one of the almost last performers, and her energy made the audience begging for much more. Her singing was awesome, she kept the energy overflowing. Lots of jumping, hand jesters, crowd chanting, it was all there, making her a stand out performer, that everyone enjoyed her presents, and will likely catch her again, because she did throw on some shades and gladly say “I’ll be back”.
YURAPICO:
Ending the evening would be headliner Aonyan. She had various fans within the audience wearing cat ears, fuzzy white ears! So upon her performance it was filled with lots of movement, a circle pit was formed, going circular a few times over, with some fans in the middle running in a mini circle. With Aonyan herself, joining in at the end, made the circle movements that more entertaining. She just had such energy and a fun attitude, it made her performance that more memorable.
AONYAN:
All in all this volume 1 of the Idol Jame was a success! Quite a few turned up, had fun, with no thought to end it at all this night. Lot the fun, being endless, with so much chanting, and glowing energy it was flawless for all.
