LaLaLu's "secret" event took place on 9/27 at Shinjuku Station Square. It was a whole day event (rehearsals started at 10:30 and the final stage ended at around 20:30), and the weather was pretty bad (cloudy/rain). This event was "secret" as they couldn't announce the location of this event until the day of the event. (The police didn't allow them to announce this event, because there had been problems with other events in the past.)

This event was a "campaign" event for the LaLaLu CDs, but it was free and held in the open (as Shinjuku Station Square is just outside of the East exit of Shinjuku Station). There were around 40 to 50 LaLaLu fans, most of them with cameras, and LOTS and LOTS of "normal" people who just happened to pass by.

There were five stages, and the song list is as follows. Each stage had 4 or 5 songs, and there was quite a bit of talk.

Before the event, there was a short rehearsal at around 10:30.

[LaLaLu] The LaLaLu girls wore their red outfits for the 13:00 and 15:00 stages. They wore a new black outfit for the 17:00 stage, and their white outfits for the 19:00 and 19:45 stages. In addition, the girls were wearing jewelry (necklace or ring) that they got from a nearby store (one of the sponsors for the event).

They announced that there will be a LaLaLu Christmas event on 12/8, and a special fan club event sometime this fall.

In addition to the live stages, there was a special trading card and poster given out to those who bought the LaLaLu CDs at the Shinjuku HMV store (inside the train station building). There was one trading card per CD, so those who wanted all the cards had to buy all three CDs. (^_^;
