hey 09lojh1, how is it like when the members visit the store? what is the usual routine that the fans do on that day? im curious since I'm planning to go on sunday thanks in advance for your help
well, usual routine is that there is a stage on the ground floor, (in front of the escalators), and there will be security rails set up. Most fans wait outside the rails (sometime 2 hours before they arrive if they really want front view) until the members come out, where they give a small speech, then everyone runs off to line up after they're done, on the side of the stage where staff will direct you to form a line for handshake. You give in your pass for the $20 deposit refund as you pass the workers (also, u prob get the dragon center sticker they force u to put on ur shirt), and u also get ur hands sterilized as u get near the stage. and then its happy time with the members for about 2 seconds each and then u off the stage on the other side. Not sure if they will visit the shop itself, tho usually they do (usually before the handshake), but if tht happens, they'll evacuate customers from the store about 15~30 mins b4 and everyone jus waits outside waiting to take photos of them goin in/ comin out
Thank you for your explanations! I think i'll go there around 10am and just take some pics of the members this time
This afternoon when I was at the HK Shop to buy Yuko's photobook, I heard someone approach the counter and they spoke English. Heheh... I was in a bit of a hurry but I did wonder if it was a S48er.
Finally have the answer to that today, yes it will have the photobook, and it will be $210 for each one (jap version only)
haha thanks as always~ this is kinda unrelated to hongkong... but can you access stage48 in mainland china? not hongkong?

lol, awesome atmosphere yesterday, didn't get rushed at all, got about 20 seconds of handshake on the first round, and about 15 on the second xD members reactions were relli funny when i talked to them, esp. amina when i asked her about lemon's headbutt and wasamins when i asked her to do a collaboration with Jero~
lol, ^macau was expensive though, if u wanted to do the skywalk with the members XD btw, next member visit should be July 27th (wednesday) as it's the finals round of the preliminaries of the talent show in hong kong~
