Yes you heard me right. The Stockholm Japan Expo that was supposed to expose Buono to their European fans for the first time has been cancelled with many fans who wanting to see Airi, Momo, and Miya in person angry and confused.
The shocked fans recieved this letter from the Expo staff
Dear Customer,
Unfortunately we have to inform you that Stockholm Japan Expo 2009 is cancelled.
There are several reasons for this, the financial change in world economy, severe competition from other festivals/concerts as well as poor ticket sale.
This means you will get your ticket purchase back by www.ticnet.se. More info about this will be announced on our website (www.japanexpo.se) next week.
We deeply apologize for the inconvenience it may have caused and hope that Stockholm Japan Expo will be feasible in the near future.
With sincere apologies,
SJX-Crew
Now, I, like many other fans, was very disappointed. But when I heard the reason, I understood completely. The world's economy isn't very good right now and that affects a lot of things, including music festivals and ticket sales. Also there are a lot of music festivals happening at the same time and in the same area as Japan Expo, so that hurts it too. But maybe one day, Sweden will see their first taste of Buono and H!P can advance into Europe.
As you know Momusu will be performing at Anime Expo in LA. I know that hundreds of faithful wota will descend on the con to see MM live. I, sadly, will not be one of them. I have too many things to do here in Oklahoma and even if my schedule was free, I don't have enough money to afford a trip to California. But that doesn't stop me from imagining the experience.
Here's how I think things will unfold:
-There will be so many cars full of wota that every highway into LA will be clogged
-At least one wota will be arrested for indecent exposure after ripping his shirt off in the middle of the concert
-There will be at least 3 groups doing a dance routine
-Junjun will end up in a bar downtown downing her fifth shot of whiskey
-Aichan and Gaki will blamed for several pranks in and around their hotel
-Mittsi and Linlin will take a joyride around town in a rented sports car
-During the con, Sayu and Kamei will be offered modeling contracts
-Everyone will have a good time and go home happy
So that's how I see it. By the way, if any of my readers go to the con, could you bring something back for your buddy Slasha? That would be great.
