Me and Miichan and New York: A Love Story (part 5)

Pata has started a new series on his blog detailing how exactly he fell in love with Minami Minegishi, HIS WIFE. I really enjoy his storytelling style, which is a lot better than just listing the facts. You don’t really get story posts on blogs that often, so this was really refreshing! After reading part 1, I was seriously hooked already! In the first part, he talked about his early history with AKB48 and how he first encountered “Gachapin”. I really am in love with the name Gachapin; it completely suits Miichan! She’s just so cute and almost unreal!

Anyway, Pata’s next three parts detail how he rekindled his interest in AKB48, fell in love with Miichan, and how he found out about AKB48 performing at NYAF. The way he described his fandom really made me feel like it was something I wanted to pursue. If Pata could find so much entertainment and love from AKB48, shouldn’t I try it? He’s inspiring me to follow my love of Erepyon! I’m anxiously awaiting the next parts (I’m not sure how many parts there are, exactly–as many as it takes?) and I hope everyone else is! Recommended!

edit: and, of course, right after I post this, Pata posts the fifth and final installment of this story! I really enjoyed the ending, and I was so happy to read about his triumphs at NYAF! A++ work, Pata!
