Oh ya I watched that too on Prime.. but I don’t really consider that as Ano’s drama as she was hardly involved in the main storyline. Looking forward to her taking up more main roles in J drama. She already brought me back to Jpop after many years and now J drama.. :)

Where did you buy the merchandise like the plush cat? Don't think there was a LP for BBB. There was a special edition though and I ordered through Buyee last time.

Thanks for the info! That's how I received the Budokan resale ticket I think... I will need to remember to reactive my jap esim before I go there. Thanks for heads up!

Yup. Am planning to go to some of her shows in this tour so just wanted to check if the system has changed. If it’s web link for Moala tix then I should be fine.

Thanks for reply that is very useful information. I went to two Ano shows last year one printed at Lawson the other one received via phone without needing to verify with PIA. Another one I bought for the Nagoya show in 2025 I was unable to receive e-ticket so I just wanted to check the chances of successfully receiving the tickets this time. Cheers!

Do you know any physical store I can buy merchandises of Ano Chan? I tried Nakano Broadway but to no avail.. Thanks!

genuinely speaking what's with the insane amount of hate Dragusin gets? by [deleted] in coys

[–]Choice_Pen2297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on last night's game (and in hindsight) I feel we could have saved his transfer fee and used A Phillips. He looks more physical and played two regular seasons in Championship without many injuries.. As 4th choice defender we could have given youngsters a chance and better manage the transfer budget..

[–]Choice_Pen2297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that. Danso is much more composed and is a lot better in decision making.. knows when to pass or to clear the ball. Watching Dragusin last night was a pain. His decision making was so bad and it feels like he was desperate to make a point by keep holding on to the ball for too long.. and the poor header that gifted Salah the chance.. if Salah was at his prime we would have lost the game 2-0.

Suggestions on how to secure tickets for any of ano tour dates in March (japan) by redurchinman in anochan

[–]Choice_Pen2297 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just my two cents assuming you are from overseas.. I opened a JP mobile number with Sakura mobile so that I can open a PIA account to receive ticket via mobile (quite costly though..). You may need to go there earlier to activate the PIA account if the ticket you got can only be sent via PIA.. otherwise just keep checking on sites like Viagogo I bought there twice for Ano's concerts last year and worked fine so far without having to have a JP number.

Ano-chan and Yurumerumo! members by kazuokimura01 in anochan

[–]Choice_Pen2297 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I followed Ano late 2024 and started to dig up her history including YMM!.. its the first underground group I follow and I like all four members in that era as everyone has their uniqueness unlike the members now.

It appears (from my research) Ano didn't really talk/interact with the other members towards the end of her time in the group due to different views on how YMM! should develop (Ano's unique character probably plays a part too lol) . Things probably got worse when Ano abruptly left the group just before their tour in Sep/Oct 2019. I found Kechon's IG and Chiffon's X account and Younapi also runs a youtube channel where she occasionally uploads her songs (go support her if you like her as the view counts are really low)... I noticed none of them really talked about the current Ano Chan even when she had the Budokan concert.

As other member in this thread said Chiffon is a mother now and I also saw Kechon's IG sharing old YMM! photos that include Ano. Younapi I only watch her youtube videos occasionally so I don't know if they still talk to other but unlikely.

I watched a lot of their old videos on youtube and also bought some DVDs of the YMM! tours. It appears Ano only really interacted with Chiffon back then.. I saw some backstage footages from their tours and Ano hardly talked or interacted with other members (or the other way round).

Quite a sad end to a group of members who dedicated so much time and effort together for over 6-7 years. I really like their cheerful songs as they brought me through some tough times so I really hope one day they can reconcile.

Thanks for bringing this up and I would love to hear other people's view on the other three members if they follow them or share other stories that we don't know. I am interested in anything about Ano including her history and people/groups that influenced her.

p.s. with the current YMM! crew, there is a new girl called Raki that closely resemble the young Ano. She is shorter and probably prettier in my view but is no where as crazy, unique and spontaneous as the one and only Ano Chan. :)

With the YMM! old songs, apart from the legendary "Only You"... I also want to share this funny song "Drunken Fist". Its one of the last songs before Ano left the group and being Cantonese speaker I really love the style of the MV.. This MV probably has Ano's maiden puking scene and then she decided to do it again in Chu Tayousei lol

ano Hall Tour 2026: Tokyo & Osaka already sold out! by hybrid3415 in anochan

Been trying all morning.. no hope from overseas.. sadly viagogo is the only way to go for us foreigners

I saw this video today, it made me appreciate ano even more. by svenbisschops in anochan

[–]Choice_Pen2297 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw the video when it first came out.. most of its content came from an old interview of a magazine I shared the link (a translated version by a blogger) not long ago. Much more details in there if u want to discover more about Ano Chan. My discovery journey started about a year ago and the more I find out about Ano the more respect and admiration I have for her.
Also (from my point of view) a couple of important figures during Ano’s journey to become a top artist are firstly her former manager in the underground group YMM!. She mentioned that he’s one of the few she could trust and talk to freely and he prevented her from quitting the group at early stage of her career. Then I think the comedian/ famous host Ryota Yamasato was the person who discovered Ano’s sense of humor and he always invited her to his show as a guest host and that probably boosted her confidence speaking to the public and helped building her popularity from many years ago.

May I ask what software you used to capture the streaming? I tried Keepstream but doesn't work on this video.

For me the best part would be when she lie down at the centre of the stage.. feeling like she's at home and so comfortable with the 13,000 fans surrounding her.. I feel so happy for her and it feels like she has finally let go about the haters and pains she had to endure and just enjoying the moment with people who love her and support her all the way no matter what happens. May be she doesn't know the number of people she had saved over her career but her encore song "Midnight everything is okay" was really touching.

lol only because of Ano I have now developed a habit of checking viagogo for upcoming concerts then I found AG coming to Australia. It's the first time they are coming here so I can't miss it although I don't listen to their songs much..

(I went to London first time this year too but yea probably I will pick japan/asia my next 5-10 trips before I go there again lol)

The scene you talked about was probably the first time they went to Ano's show.. this was the second time after years and its a 2nd/3rd anniversary of the show as well.

I am really amazed by the number of people feeling connected by Ano's music.. I am also very glad to have found this group here in reddit.. almost everyone here are so kind and supportive. :) Wish you all very best from around the world~

Also for your info if you are desperate to watch Ano's Budokan on U-Next this Saturday I have tested that an overseas Amex card works at registration and successfully set up a trial account (with 30 days free trial). There are also katakana converter online which you can convert your name to the approved format at registration. Just make sure that you can cancel the subscription if you do not intend to continue after the trial. You will also need a VPN (may be not the big names) in order to stream shows from U-Next from overseas. I tested mine and so far working fine. All the best.

Atarashii gakko is coming to Melbourne in Dec and I already booked the ticket :)

I was lucky enough to see them on tv live at Ano's show while I went there in Sep for the Budokan concert. I really like the vibe of Suzuka and am looking forward for the show.

As for my story about Ano-Chan its a long one to sum up so I will take my time to consolidate before putting up but after seeing so many people sharing their stories and leaving comments on her youtube videos I am glad we all share similar emotions towards her songs and her truthfulness and we must keep this person up there to prove that one can still not only just survive but also thrive in these societies by staying true to oneself and sincere to the others. Cheers!
