A group of friends and I arrived at the restaurant around 7:45. I had originally bought a Jui dinner ticket for my friend Kai so we had to get there earlier for her dinner at 8. After the rest of us got a separate table away from Kai..I went over to say hi to some of the jhouserock workers I knew and to let them know I was here and then I saw the translator Mako, who was last years translator for the Duel Jewel dinner. XD She was so cute, she was all ahh I remember you!!! So we exchanged contact info and such. But as I turned around I almost ran into Jui XDD Poor thing, he didn’t look so well to begin with but he warmed up to everyone during the dinner, especially to Kai. (He offered his broccoli to her near the end aha XD we had a good laugh at that.)
ANYWAY, lol onto my actual dinner. Rame sat near the end, next to my friend Yoshi. He had his scarf on and pins on as usual, and was really really talkative. He got..some sort of salad from what I remember. Since Yoshi knew more Japanese than me she asked a couple questions in Japanese aswell but I don’t think I can recall some of them. Some of the questions were, if he had any pets. He has 2 dogs if I remember correctly but they have to live at his step dads (or something like that) house and they can’t be together because they fight. But currently he’s living alone and doesn’t have any pets. He also had a bird >.> so we had a nice conversation about BIRDS for a while lol. He likes a more toned down ganguro style.. not like the ones that go all out I guess. (Yoshi asked that one XD) Rame used to take kendo when he was in middle school. (Since I take martial arts I’ve always asked that question if they have or not)
Okay then…AH yes her name was Sarah XD She was cosplaying Daisuke Asakura and Rame was talking about blonde hair and I think he asked if her hair was real and she was all no it’s a wig! XD He was all I KNOW WIG! Lol, and Yoshi has a blench blonde hair color…I was the only natural blonde there, and he looked at me and was all your hair is a very pretty blonde, people in Japan would pay a lot of money for your hair.! XD Rame’s in his late twenties…then he went on onto how people never thought he was that old, and he certainly didn’t believe me when I told him my age >.> none do anyway haa. Oh yeah…I asked if Rame liked feeding Jui candy XD his expression was priceless..He was all YES I like to very much and he likes to tease Jui a lot.
I think one of the funniest things that happened at the dinner though….was our waiter. He had Jui’s table earlier and apparently thought that Jui was retarded or something because he had the translator and wasn’t speaking English? XD But that was cleared up quickly and he was freaking out when he saw Jui signing things and was all OMFG YOUR FAMOUS. But they wouldn’t let him get an autograph. So at Rame’s he was all Man RAME I know your brother JUI man! It was really funny though, Rame was laughing his butt off. At first the translator wouldn’t let him get an autograph (guessing also because he didn’t have any merch by them) but I mean this guy really wanted one XD and Rame wanted to give him one …so I had a picture of Rame in my folder so I took it out and handed it to Rame to give to him and Rame was all You really want him to have this? And I said yes. (After the dinner Tony ( our waiter), ended up hitting on me and wouldn’t stop talking about how he was going to look them up when he got home, which is a good thing. I was happy for him.) But yeah…I also had the picture I bought from Jhouserock with all of Vidoll’s signatures on it and I handed it to Rame to show Tony what they looked like and Rame had Tony guess who he was in the band! XDD He didn’t pick Rame until last…and when he did he was all AWH MAN NOO, cause he thought Rame was a girl..XDDD But throughout all of this Rame wasn’t offended or anything, he was laughing and joking with everyone so it was all good.
Before the dinner ended I told Rame about Yoshi, Kai, and my Jrock cover band OSHIRI. Oh man….I had him laughing so hard and he was like…maybe you should change your name but I just shook my head. (From then every time he saw one of us that weekend he’d be all OSHIRI and Jui would laugh so much when he said it too, I don’t think Jui knew why Rame was saying oshiri to us until Sunday when I had our band sign lol. (he even said it to Yoshi at the Q&A We got it on video. I’ll have the link posted at the end.) He wrote on a piece of paper FIGHT OH SI RI (he spelled the end wrong but he had to go (manager right there starring at him >> XD) but we got the meaning. It was so nice. That whole dinner was very exciting and he was into it a lot.
