Oct 5: Kagrra Fan interview @ Takadanobaba
This was a strange day and everything that could have gone wrong almost did! We were ready to go but are featured talent was late!! We went on a goose chase to find Ms. Rua and finally after the Sun started going down, we got our rushed interview. So even the best laid out plans don't always work. However, the main interview was not bad and we will get more at the next Kagrra live show in November.
　
Shooting report from Oct 14: Kagrra Interview
Exactly one month after XYZ-A and BowWow, we interview Kagrra at Genkokuji Temple in Takadanobaba. I must say the the Priest and his wife were very nice people and let us use their beautiful temple. It was a one camera shooting with the XL1s. The settings changed with each direction of the sun but everything came out nice. The sound using a boom and an Audio-Technica AT815b microphone seemed to give us great sound after a few adjustments. Of course, having a proper field mixer would have helped but our budget is small!!! Anyway, the band was very cool and they gave some interesting answers. We will be filming them live on Nov.18.

Oct 20: Harajuku: Fan search
This was cancelled due to bad weather.
Oct.23 Yellow House
Interview with Ms. Akie Suzuki from Yellow House, fashion store in Harajuku.
This went well but I didn't like the camera angle after looking at it. The lighting was a problem and I really need to get some filters. Other than that, Fukumi and Tomoko did a great job and the interview was quite informative. We also found a couple that looked cool and got an interview of them also. They really liked Dir en grey and they thought that the band could make it outside of Japan.
