『Kamihaku in Tokyo Vol.10』 ~ 【Hikaru no Ki ni Naru go out -Door No.1-】
Hikaru is back with another column on the entertainment media platform "SPICE". It is already her third time being featured as a writer for a dedicated series. She first started back in mid 2018 with her column "Hikaruのただのヲタ活/All about Hikaru's Otaku Activities". The series came to a rather abrupt end after only five contributions when Hikaru left Space Craft in October of the same year. She started her second webseries in early 2020 under the name Hikaru//, it was called "Hikaru//の自由綴文/Hikaru//'s Free Writing". This column had a total of 12 episodes until it was discontinued in April 2022, around the time when things started slowly falling apart with her management and fan club. Very glad to see her back with a new series. As someone who rarely goes outside, she will try her best to write reports of some of her most interesting activities. Hopefully, she can continue to make new posts for a long time. I doubt this will give her much exposure but it's better than nothing (and she obviously has a lot of fun with it). Check out Vol.1 of her new series HERE!! She attended a unique festival dedicated to all things paper. It was held in Tokyo for a few days. There will be another exhibition taking place in Sendai during the first week of April.

Hikaru//’s Free Writing Vol.#1 English Translation
『I went to the UTA☆PURI exhibition♪』
〜Hikaru//'s Free Writing Vol.#1 〜
Hello, I am Hikaru//. My everyday job is to sing as an artist under the name of my solo-project『H-el-ical//』. However, for this occasion I will be writing a column.
I hope that all of you will be enjoying my column whether you are a long-time fan or a newcomer. My first edition is gonna be a “report”! I'm really excited since it is my first time writing a report in a column like this, I will do my best so it’s fun for all of us. For this report I visited the exhibition 『Uta no☆ Prince-sama♪「Another World 〜WHITE & BLACK〜」』 which is currently held at Tokyo Dome City Gallery AaMo.
『Uta no☆Prince-sama♪』 is a popular franchise that started out as a game and has since been adapted as manga, TV anime and theatrical anime. You are playing an aspiring composer who enters a prestigious performing arts school made up of students who are either vying to become an idol or a music producer. For your project you must team up with another student as an idol-producer team, and if you are successful, you will be able to join their agency after graduation.
I have played the mobile game and watched the anime. The day before going to the exhibition I also watched the BD of the theatrical release 『Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji LOVE Kingdom』.
As soon as you enter the venue, this main visual can be found on the right side. You immediately get excited!
Despite knowing that the main cast will change between WHITE SIDE (first half) and BLACK SIDE (second half), it is still special to have all idols together on this visual...!
One cannot help but stare at the image, you really want to take your time and enjoy it but remaining too long in the entrance area will irritate the people entering behind you so let’s continue ahead!
In this fantastic crystal passage, there are photos and profiles of each idol. Passing through this space you will gradually be entering Another World that is awaiting you. The anticipation will have you super excited ♪
Finally enter Another World!
I'm thrilled to visit an exhibition that showcases the worldviews and stories of new songs and allows us to experience what it is like to be in the dressing rooms or on the stage side.
Dive into this new world while listening to the words of your idols!
There are displays left and right. I have no idea where to start ... I think I will start with my bias. So let’s go with the right side first. *laughs*
In this world all kinds of items related to the WHITE SIDE idols are on display. You can get a glimpse of the idol's personality and daily life, your knowledge of your favourite idols will surely expand.
Of course I will also check out the left side.
Here you will find an art board filled with lots of text. Looking at all the words will make you think "Oh, this is a popular dialogue", "Oh, these words touch my heart"! You will inevitably start imagining your favourite idols saying these words.
There is an amazing photo spot in the back! I was a little adventurous and tried dressing up as one of the idols but I guess it’s better to just take a picture dressed as a normal fan *laughs*
Right next to the spot is a miniature world ...Ah, I should have brought one of my plushies with me! ... I missed a great opportunity but it’s not too late for you. So everyone, be sure to bring your own plushies when you come here!!
We continue to the backstage area. First, the waiting room. There are lots of items that the idols would usually use in front of their mirrors, you can see notes and such, it almost seems like they were there just a minute ago.
Then we continue to the stage sleeve. There is a great arrangement of t-shirts for each idol ... ahh, this looks amazing!! I was mesmerised by the arrangement and couldn’t stop looking.
Then!! Their stage drinks!! Water! Someone has actually been drinking from them! *faints* Masato, Ai, and Len took a few sips ... ahh...I can’t take it!! Thank you so much for this!!
Turning to the other side and continuing ahead I discover interviews with the BLACK SIDE idols! Awesome! Such an awesome display! Be sure to check every detail without missing a single word!
Well, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the main event of the day: time to enjoy the video for the new song “WHITE GRAVITY” projected on a big screen. While listening to "WHITE GRAVITY" you can watch your idols in full size on the large screen and enjoy them to the fullest.
Finally, let’s head to the merch corner.
They have a system where you write everything you want on a sheet of paper. I am having a hard time deciding what to buy *laughs* Samples are also displayed before the checkout area! Think about what you want to get as long as necessary, just take your time, let’s all buy the things we love!! To show our gratitude for the franchise!
We have walked through the entire exhibtion. BUT! We have not reached the end of this report yet!
Apparenty every restaurant in Tokyo Dome City has collaboration menus inspired by the idols. So of course I HAD to check them out...That day I decided to go to MLB cafe TOKYO.
I ordered Natsuki's recommended "Shinomiya Farm Collaboration Pizza" and Cecil's recommended "Agna Palace Soup". The green cream soup is perfectly seasoned and delicious with a bit of bread. The Cream cheese x maple dessert pizza has a magical taste that combines sourness, saltiness and sweetness. When you order a collaboration menu, you will get one sticker for each item!
Satisfied after enjoying fun and delicious collaboration menus, my visit to the exhibition 『Uta no☆Prince-sama♪「Another World 〜WHITE & BLACK〜」WHITE SIDE』is finally coming to an end. While my main goal was to get material for my report, I tremendously enjoyed this exhibition *laughs*
There is a lot of attention to detail, you really learn to understand why people love Uta ☆ Puri (Uta no Prince Sama ♪) so much! Of course fans will have a blast visiting this exhibition but I think people who are not too familiar with the work can also have a great time. That’s why I thought, “why not whet your appetite with this report?”
And since WHITE SIDE was so good, I am now super curious about BLACK SIDE with a different cast...! I wanna go. I wonder what the next column will be about…?
I don't know yet, but I'd like to talk about it freely just as the title of my column suggests.
Last but not least, here is a random picture... of words that resonated with me.
Hikaru’s first column of her new webseries Hikaru//の自由綴文 | Hikaru//'s Free Writing is up. Be sure to check out the rest of the pictures. I will be providing a translation of the whole article tonight.
