Hi guys! The other day, I got an invitation from BBLOG to attend the launching event for Aikatsu! Indonesia. It might seems shocking to others, but I actually like idols-themed games or animes. :9 There's something about this genre that just seems particularly cute and fills me with positive energy. I had fun times attending this event and looks forward to Aikatsu! Indonesia!! <3

#OOTD - looks like I'm going for a fashion show, rather than a presscon. :"9

"So, what is Aikatsu!?"

Aikatsu!, short for アイドルカツドウ Aidoru Katsudo (Idol Activity), is an anime that tells us a biography of girls with fighting spirit to dream big, to be a top idol. Not only it's going to be an anime that will soon be premiered in Indonesia, there's going to be digital card games equipped with advanced technology for you to play with friends together! It was first launched in Japan on October 2012, now Aikatsu! is making its huge debut in Indonesia this month!!  Sounds cool, right?

I'm sure that we all know the brand Bandai right? Yes, this company, which is responsible for all of our childhood arcade memories, will be in charge of creating these high-tech Aikatsu! digital card machines! So rest assured, the game will be glorious. (and yes, I tried it and I'm pretty much glued to the machines.)

This event is held wonderfully through the  collaboration between B Blog Indonesia and Bandai~!The press conference was opened by JKT48's cheerful performance, which is performed by Cindy Yuvia, Hanna and Viny from Team KIII. The songs they brought are from the Indonesian version of the Aikatsu! anisong. Not only that, Cindy Yuvia has been chosen as the face for Ichigo Hoshimiya and dressed up as her. Adorable! With her cute attire like the one Ichigo wears in the game and anime, she performed another Aikatsu! anisong, Calendar Girl.

Following that, there are few speeches from chiefs from both collaborating company, MNC group and Bandai company. There are 6 members of JKT48 who is chosen to be apart of this collab. They are Melody, Nabilah, Haruka, Hanna, Cindy Yuvia and Viny from Team J and Team KIII. Haruka was the most enthusiastic Aikatsu! player from the bunch! She just gleefully answered the questions given by the MC and I find it so cute, especially with her Japan/Indo accent <3 Adorbs Harukaaa~

The press conference ended shortly after the speeches and Q&A session. I managed to look around the merchandise showcases. There are apparel, costumes, and many other merchandises that are just so cute! I want them all~ There is also 3DS displayed, since Aikatsu! will release its game for 3DS console called "Aikatsu! 365 Idol Days!" 

"Sounds interesting! Where and how can I play Aikatsu!?"
You can find these machines in malls nearby soon in October 2014. Basically you can play it using an ID Card (that enables you to record your improvements) or just play for one-time only. You'll play as one of the girls pursuing a successful idol life and lead them to success by playing a rythmic game! The higher you score, the more fans you'll get~! You can also improve your performance by wearing an attire complementary to the stage you're performing in.

Inside the goodie bag handed to me during the event, there are wide variety of items. There are JKT48 notebook, Aikatsu! CD, phamplets and complimentary Aikatsu! cards for us to play! Sweet <3 I received these complete set of Cool and Cute uniform cards. Not only that, I got all 3 collaboration cards between JKT48 and Aikatsu!, featuring Cindy Yuvia, Viny and Hanna.

Ichigo Hoshimiya is basically my cosbait, so I pretty much costest-ed as her right after the event LOL. :9 How do I look? Should I cosplay her for real, what do you think? :o

"Platina Parlour is a new concept of butler cafe that based on Otome Game experience. The Cafe will be maintained by 10 butlers. The guest will be treated as Young lady or Young Master of the House. The experience inside the cafe will mimic Otome game's story route with the probability of getting good ending or bad ending.

Beside the service from the butler, we're also providing various of cute merchandise of the butler (2D & 3D version) with high quality artworks, such as phonestraps, badges, prints, photo collections, drama CD, etc. Platina Parlour will have its own comic series, titled "The Journal of Platina Parlour", that will be serialized in re:ON comics starting this July. The comic itself will tell about the butler's daily life and their activity inside the cafe."

Platina Parlour collaborated with Anicult Surabaya to hold its 5th event there. I've always wanted to visit Platina Parlour for the longest time. Like no exaggeration, but I've been peeling my eyes for them since 2012 on their first event in WTC! But since I have such teribble luck, it seems like the world is so against me going here. That aside, I finally managed to visit Platina Parlour for starter. :") I'm one happy person. As a first timer, I was soooooo excited. I could feel adrenaline pumping and I just went all yolo-swaggity-sweg upon entering that cafe. I reserved for Ken's afternoon shift and Rei's last evening shift. I went in with my friends and it was great!

Ken

 Fairly good physique and balanced personality

2 shot with Ken

Ken is the 'normal' type. He is basically the perfect balance of the whole chaotic personas in Platina Parlour. Ken has mad respect for Riku and has Sei as his adorable kouhai. I find that totally cute, btw. Talking to him was great, even though I would love more character from him </3 I like my butlers sassy c":

We got to play "choose the card" game. So, the game is about picking Ken's pictures among the shuffled stack, but if we choose the wrong one (e.g. Kou's or Riku's), we have to mimic the butler from the picture we wrongly picked as punishment. Both my friend and I picked the wrong one, so we have to do the punishment. She must mimic Riku and I have to mimic Kai. I was very embarassed, I SWEAR. *proceed to cringe loudly*

Rei

Kuudere type and can be hurtful with his words :"c

2 shot with Rei

After that, there's Rei. Rei is the kuudere of the bunch. His words are daaaaamn spicy ;_; I-I was a little hurt because of his kuu-ness. I know, what was I expecting from a kuudere? ;;_;; His words are like, I don't know, a friggin blade just stabbing me right in the guts. :"c I was hurt desuyo /cringes But other than his occasional mean attitude, he was actually hilarious to hang with. All thanks to Mizu and Kagami, who are like the pros in Platina Parlour. God knows how many times they've been to Platina Parlour before, countless, I bet. :")))

Since it was the last shift, we got to see some 'special' scenes C; it waasss adorable and urgh-- I can't even <3 It's about Shuu getting hella drunk because of the 'secret potion' Sei brewed as an experiment. Shuu trying to get all 'seme' towards Riku and stuff c:< And all the run-away bride swiggity-swag. Urgh these people *laughs like a maniac* In the end, Rei and Sei did a moe-moe-kyun movement for us, which is adorableeeeeee _(:"""D 1 L)_ /dies Ci Kate also did it too because Rei is such a butthead for not doing it properly. GDI, Rei. :"U

Loots I received from Platina Parlour are an A3 poster of the whole Platina Parlour cast, 2 Re:On Comic books Vol. 7, 2 butler badges and 2 keychains. <3 I really enjoyed them and I managed to read the whole Re:On comic book on my way back to Jakarta.

Ken and Yui badges + Riku and Rei keychains

Kai, Sei, Shuu and Yui

Sei, Riku and Shuu

Both the butler and managerial team did a wonderful job putting up together this event! I applaude you guys for making the Anicult event a little brighter, because frankly the event would be meeeeeh without you tweeps <3 Looking forward to their next event! I really want to hang around with Riku, Kai and Yui later \o\ Notify me if they're making another event, okay?

Thank you for reading! xx
