At long last, I saw JKS in person and he called me my name “KAORI-chan” in Japanese!!!! I still feel as if I were walking on air…. *sigh*
So I want to share my super blissful experience, but I went blank and forgot the last moment with my love JKS, more’s the pity… π
I managed to control my feeling not to cry and faint, but just seeing real JKS entering the room from a distance made me start to tremble from top to toe.
There were lucky 300 winners by lottery. (I don’t know the exact number of applicants, but today it is reported that the total number of subscription readers (pre-orders) was up to 50,000 now.
As it would take a long time to finish all the autograph, the event must have been well-organized. So we had to line up in order with an autographed object.
I mean we had to choose one object to be autographed from 4 compornents (the cover, favorite page of the book, behind-the-scene photo book, or behind-the-scene DVD) of “The Romance JPLUS PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION Limited” beforehand. I chose the cover.
Waiting in a line, my heartbeat quickened and my body was trembling with happiness. I was about to faint and trip walking on the stage.
And finally my turn has come! JKS received the cover from the staff, then he signed on it by adding my name “γγγγ‘γγγΈ in Japanese(To Kaori in English).”
I was sooooo surprised and after that he called my name, “Kaori-chan, thanks for coming!” with shaking hands!
Why was I so surprised to see his writing? Because at first we were requested to write our name using alphabets, so I wrote my first name “KAORI.” But after he read the letters “KAORI”, he rewrote it in Japanese!!!! He is amazingly good at writing Japanese alphabets “Hiragana!”
Sorry, the last part of what he said to me was my imagination…. I remember he called my name in Japanese and we shook hands… but I was so happy and nervous that it was quite hard for me to stay calm.
After shaking hands with him, eels had to walk down the stage immediately. But I had a special message I would like to convey no matter what. So I did it though I nearly fainted. I said to him in Japanese, “I came here from Ibaraki. We’re waiting for your coming.” Happily, he responded to Ibaraki.
I didn’t choose a love message. I chose my wish for his coming to Ibaraki to shoot YMP. Besides, I wanted to let him know Ibaraki’s recovery. I hope he’ll come here around August as previously scheduled.
I don’t know how many Ibaraki eels participated in this event. And I don’t know how many of them did the same thing as me. If I were only one, I might make some impression on him. In addition, I wrote a letter including the same message and my pic and angel(tenshi) pic. So if he read it later, he might remind of me!!!!! π My attempt to pass him my small present and letter directly ended in failure, but in case of that I chose an impressive wrapper. See the elephant splashing water! It’s so cute, isn’t it? And JKS loves to play splashing water,too! π
Back to the main story.
When I went out the room after saying my special message, I could hardly stand straight. So I stood with my back against a big column and breathed a sigh of relief again and again. Then a TV crew asked me for an interview and I accepted. I don’t know my comment was used on TV because there were many healthy eels there! Lol! The reason why I accepted was I wanted to let them know JKS’ charm isn’t only his good looks but his personality. They asked me a usual question, “What JKS’ charm fascinates you most?” I answered definitely, “It’s his professionalism.” They looked a little surprised at my unexpected answer. But they were nodding earnestly.
Anyway, I wasn’t so brave in front of my dear JKS… but he was amazingly nice. He looked perfectly as same as I saw him through vids or something. Maybe he was much more beautiful than ever I had seen. So I’m afraid if it was a dream, but it was real. His autograph is proof of my first meeting with him.
Kaori-chan, I am so happy for you that you can see JKS in person !! His Japanese is better than me! I can read hiragana, but I find katakana very difficult to learn (since I always cheat by using English words instead). Thank you always for your translation of Japanese articles. The Japanese community in Rome is very small, I am learning a lot from you to refresh my Japanese.
tenshi,
I’m so happy that you finally managed to see our Prince in person!
He’s as beautiful in person as he is on TV and videos, isn’t he? π
And u were interviewed on TV too!!
Is it in the 2 videos you shared with us?
I haven’t had time to watch the videos yet T.T
so hopefully I can watch them tonight ^^
Tenshi, congra you are so lucky to win the chance to meet up with prince in front of you. Your wish come true.
Do you still feel spark on your mind? Keep the unforgetful feeling!
Tenshi-chan, your story is so beautiful. The way you described your feeling and experiences meeting your prince charming for the first is so sweet and fill with such warm-heart and pure-passion. When you described your heartbeat while waiting in line, my heart is beating right along with you. Thank you so much for your story for that I can experience meeting with my Sukkie through you. Since I live so far a way, it would be very difficult for me to ever see my prince in person. Nevertheless, I still keep on DREAMING…….
By the way you held yourself up pretty good, if I were you, I would probably faint when he calls ME real name.
oh tenshi you’re so lucky. Thank’s for sharing your amazing time with our prince π
Awww Kaori-chan…. im pleased to know your real name π I feel sooo happy reading yr fan account! Now you must tell us which one in which vid you appear in ok? It would make me feel so honored to know how you look like too π
Hello Hello γγγγ‘γγ! ^_^ I hope you are feeling on the ground today… I’m feeling happy for you when I read your account… I really enjoy when reading the FA by you, aphrael77 & the rest of the eels in this blog.. as though we are there with you even if we are far away.. oh yes, Sukkie really likes to splash water like an elephant & I remember he said he likes elephant in Cri-show Thailand & make a cute elephant action (like my little nephew exactly) on stage when singing “my precious”! Just to make your day, sharing here a vid of Sukkie with water gun in his recent Taiwan Cri-Show, you will smile & look forward to your coming FM with him…

Kaori-chan, just to share what I read from an interesting thread at BaiduSukbar (China) this morning.. it is about the topic which you mentioned about Sukkie’s charm “professionism”. I understand that Sukkie has many fans from media & one actually was at the press conference yesterday & this eel fan from media mentioned that many are praising Sukkie for his professionism & this particular fan is actually preparing some articles on this topic but has not disclosed the details..
Kaori, still floating…..I know this feeling is nice π It took me more than a week to make a come back to myself after JKS left KL. I believed our Paparazzi WTA XXXX team even missed him more as we able to see him at the very last minute he left the hotel thru basement carpark + sad feeling seeing him leaving within a near distance. You make me recalled back my memory when I had the 1-1 authograph session with him on stage ….. seems like dreaming with fast heartbeats. My hand even shaking after I came down from the stage (this nervous feeling is worst than going for job interview hahaha).
Kaori, U did it without faint & able to speak …… Ichiban π
Tenshi san, I’m really feel happy for you. You finally get to see our Prince in person and got his autograph ^^ I believe you are still walking in the air right now???
Tenshi-san, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful JKS experience with us!
I feel so happy for you & I couldnβt stop smiling while reading your fan account! π
Wow! I bet you must be still βfloating in the airβ now right! Hehee!
Being able to see JKS in person and so close is simply amazing right?!! The feeling is just indescribable!! π
And yes, please share with us which tv interview you were featured in okie? π

Farina, this interview is very good insight of Sukkie too, thanks for sharing the Eng Sub version!
Congratulations for the one on one experience with our big star Sukkie. You did great and your story is beautiful. You made our other eels proud of you, Angel. Even I’m thousand miles away from Asian, but I still hope one day I will have the chance to meet him in person to feel his great personality. But even through you guys blogs, I can learn a lot about him. Thank you. All eels, fighting!
Thanks, Tenshi, a nice fan account, I wish I am there too.
OMG how lucky you are Tenshi
The feeling must be great just like the bride waiting to see her groom.
Having butterfly all over. I wish Im as lucky as you.
Kaori – Hana, what a beautiful name. Love your elephant envelope with the water spraying trunk infront and tail behind followed by your name. Did you draw it yourself? So cuuute! No wonder Keun Suk loves being there and enjoying his Japanese fans. So many pictures showing him in a very happy and relaxed mood.
Did he give you his mega, mega, mega watt smile after signing his autograph and looking up at you?
Staying Up Late, my name is Kaori Hara, not Hana…
I didn’t draw the elephant by myself, but it was so cute anyway. I hope he likes the wrapper π
>Did he give you his mega, mega, mega watt smile after signing his autograph and looking up at you?
I didn’t remember the exact his brilliant smile, but the vid below proved the fact! Wow!!!! He gave me a soooo perfect smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
super happy for you!!!!!!!
Thanks for your comments!!!! I’m still floating on air… (//β½//)
As I wrote above, I hardly remembered what happened at the last moment… but incredibly my blissful last moment was broadcast on TV!!!!!!!
I couldn’t believe that I found my back on TV!!!!!!! I definitely shook hands with him and JKS gave me a angelic smile though I went blank!!!!!! Poor me! I did talk something with him but I didn’t remember what we communicate exactly… I tried to remember, but it makes me go to another daydream world… Lol!
See the back in white from 02:15 to 02:18. It’s ME!!!!!!

Kaori-chan, I saw you!!! ^_^ It is so touching to see an eel friend here appearing on TV clip with Sukkie, you’re a lucky angel indeed, able to get his autograph & also the FM ticket (out of so many balloting for the tickets)… so happy for you!!!
congratulations! good thing you didnt faint..lol
thanks for sharing your experience.
like other eels, im also hoping that i will meet him in person someday,..maybe i have to save some bucks to visit korea,..someday,.. ;p
Dear amico (“friend” in Italian), it is nice to see you (“Sexy Back”… remember our prince sang this song in his last year’s FM?). We live so far apart, but this website has drawn us closer… Did you read my first comment? I am learning a lot of Japanese from you!! Thank you tenshi-sensai…
Kaori-chan, is there a frontal view of yrself caught on tv?? π
Luckily, no. Probably I was melting away after the session, so it was impossible to use it! Lol!
Kaori-chan i saw u π wearing white blouse w pink skirt right! Ah! wearing skirt being feminine in front of our prince….. good strategy π
Yes, I’m a tactician. He he!! π
