One of my favorite maid cafes in Akihabara, Schatzkiste -Chapter 2-, is currently holding a collaboration exhibition with Haruna Ikezawa. She is a famous voice actress who played a role in Mariasama-ga Miteru as Yoshino Shimazu, Keroro Gunso as Momoka Nishizawa, and so on. Indeed, she is the first voice actress whom I became a fan of.
It is a promotional event of her new music album, fantamujika. You get to see panels of the lyrics and comments of lyric writers/composers (sorry, they are all in Japanese!). Also, you get to know her visions through her own selection of private books that she generously made them available in one of the bookshelves in Schatzkiste, entitled as "Ikeawa's Bookshelf". There are special teas and sweets that are only available during this event.
It was rather awkward experience for me being there..... I became Haruna-san's fan almost decade ago before I go to US for a college. I became Schatzkiste's fan after I came back to Japan. Absolutely no link between these two within myself, but they came together to hold a collaborative exhibition. I felt like I was standing on the crossroad of two streets that I used to live on but never imagined they would cross somewhere far down the road.
Also, it was rather sentimental moment. I was talking about my memories of Haruna-san back when I was one of her fans with one of the maids. I almost cried. Do you want to know what the story was? Well..... I guess I will just keep it in my heart as one of my precious memories of the youth :-p
The exhibition goes on till 7/29 Sun., so if you are around, don't miss it. Even if you don't know who Haruna Ikezawa is, it is worth visiting just to have wonderful teas that she selected ;-)
