Love Live Series 9th Anniversary Love Live Fest

During my latest trip to Japan I also attended the first day of the Love Live Series 9th Anniversary Love Live Fest concert.



In Akihabara Station they had this giant ad for the event.




The ad featured Aqours from Love Live Sunshine.




μ's from Love Live.




And the members of Love Live Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.




While traveling around I also saw ads for the Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars game in various locations.




One with Honoka.




And another with Yoshiko.




I also saw Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars decorated JR Yamanote Line trains.




Kasumi and Kotori.




Kanan and Shizuku.




Karin and one with Honoka, Chika and Ayumu.




Mari and Hanayo.




Setsuna and Hanamaru.




I got some closeups as well.




Starting with Honoka from μ's.




Rin.




Maki.




Eli.




And Nico.




From Aqours I got pictures of Chika.




You.




Riko.




Ruby.




And Yoshiko.




And finally from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Emma.




And Rina.




The concert itself took place on January 18th and 19th at Saitama Super Arena.




I only attended the first day though.




I entered the arena at entrance B here.




No pictures allowed inside during the concert, so this one is from the official Love Live twitter. I was sitting towards the left upper side in the 2F 200 level. My first time at a Japanese live concert and I saw performances by μ's, Aqours, Saint Snow and Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.




After the concert I got pictures of some flower stands on my way out.
















Outside it had become dark and decorative lights were turned on.




Here's a picture of the set of clear files included with the overseas travel package to see the concert. In the picture is also an advertisement booklet I picked up, a guide on how to read the concert ticket and a hotel information flyer.



No location map since it's no longer there.

Your Name - Tokyo Revisit

During the last couple of trips to Japan I also took some more Your Name pictures.

This is at Tokyo City View in Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. I only got a picture of the outsides last time I visited.




Image from Your Name - 39m14s


I took this picture at the opposite side of the building since there were less people here. I got these pictures at the same time I got Weathering With You ones.

I got a better matching picture at the Yunika Vision screens in Shinjuku.

And a closeup.




Image from Your Name - 76m05s


This is a shot of Yotsuya Station. It's been flipped in the movie.

This is how it looks in real life.

I also got a better matching shot of the station from afar. There's a new skyscraper on the right here now though.




Image from Your Name - 75m24s


While passing through Yotsuya Station I got this picture of the stop display. It's slightly different on the newer JR trains.




Image from Your Name - 75m25s


For some reason the shot in the movie shows it's car 4 in the upper right corner of the display while the train car marked with red is car 5, so I got a picture here in car 5 as well.

One place I hadn't been before is Akebonobashi-dōri shopping street which this shot in the movie is supposedly based on. It doesn't match that much except for one of the signs on the left though. I've marked the location of this place in the map below.




These buildings that can be seen in the background at the end of the street do match, but they're further away from the shopping street in real life. These buildings are also shown in the Weathering With You Toei Bus commercial.
