I, Bee, had the pleasure of sitting with fashionista, Junnyan, for an interview for VKH-Press (now defunct). Yes, this is a repost of the original article into my own blog as I don't want this to be lost on internet forever.. so here it is! Moving forward, I plan to archive the rest of my past work here as well, and I will be including the following disclaimer on those posts:
"Archival Note: This article was originally published on July 28, 2015 for VKH-Press, which is no longer active. I am republishing it here to preserve my past work."

| FUKURO from JAPAN in Anime Expo 2024 |
After re-opening my blog, here's my first post, which turns out to be a live report of the visual rock band, FUKURO FROM JAPAN! Anime Expo 2024 just happened last weekend, and after quickly skimming through this year's list of talents, one of the very few music acts that actually came from Japan. Since I am writing on my own blog and not for a company, I have to warn you all that I will be more casual in my writing style. Anyway, read on to see how this band performed during AX2024!
| SHINYA (DIR EN GREY) @ AX2015 |
It's been four months since Anime Expo 2015 and my interview with rockstar drummer, SHINYA of DIR EN GREY, is finally up on VKH Press! Hurrah! There's also a giveaway going on, so go on and read all about it HERE. But if you want to check out my personal thoughts about this whole experience, read on!
During Anime Expo this year, My Melody celebrated her 40th anniversary by having her first appearance on run runway in the US called "Sanrio's Sweet Happy Melody Fashion Show". Check out my pictures!

This was a collaboration with JapanLa, the brand that opened the fashion show as seen in my post. Kimura U also comes back on stage to model for the line! Once again, I have made an official report on the show in VKH-Press, make sure to watch out for it!

So, Anime Expo has been done for over two months already...but I still got a couple of posts that need to go up and this is one of them. I was able to get a good seat covering the very popular Fashion Show at Anime Expo and will be coming out with an official report about the event for VKH-Press. But in the mean time and while waiting for that post to get published, I'll share with you all the pictures I took during the event. And here, we have JapanLa with their "The Simpsons x Hello Kitty" & "Rilakkuma" Collection that opened the show!
| CLUB LOLLIPOP @ ANIME EXPO 2015 |
It's been over two months and we are only sharing this now... Club Lollipop's performance at Anime Expo 2015!

Wow. It's officially the first of August and this post is almost a month late. Well, it's only been a month and that's not too bad considering I take more time in the usual, haha! This has been my 3rd year attending the biggest anime convention in the US and it was been different from the first two times. I worked as a reporter for VKH-Press and it definitely was a unique experience. I already have bought a pass the year before, but because of work, I was provided with a Press Pass which pretty much gave me VIP access. I wish we brought one more person, it was a waste of a badge money, lol. This post is a mixture of my instagram pix and dslr pics, so pardon the quality. And yes, ANDREA is my real name... just saying. Read on to see how it went for me.
