Angerme

Kamikokuryou Moe
Studio rehearsals for some reason get us really fired up.

Ise Layla
In the morning there's time for us to go around to say hi in the dressing rooms, so lots of "Good morning!"s fly about!

Just after arriving at the venue the hallways are crowded since over half the members have already left their dressing rooms to greet each other.
Since it's generally crowded even if that doesn't happen, we start by finding a somewhere we won't get in the way while watching the performances! If you have a standard position then that becomes a routine each time!! I think this is a common happening that someone can definitely empathize with! lol
