ニコニコ動画賞 @ジャパンドッグアイドル / NikoNiko Prize @Japan Dog Idol
2009年 11月 25日
The results of the Japan Dog Idol contest is out. The winner was a French Bulldog. But the stage was on aired live on the net, and from the live votes, Islay won the Nico Nico video prize! Recieved a trophy, cert, and a cute doll! So happy!Thanks to all of you who voted for Islay!!!!
Off to Shiodome area where the ceremony was held! We reached there early, so looked for a place we can sit down and have coffee. But because it was a business district, there were very limited places with seats outside, and it was lunchtime thus most seats were full. So finally found a cafe with chairs outside, but no table, and we had coffee and hot dog there.
Off to the hall! Can't let dogs walk indoors, so had to use the cart for Islay!
The backstage waiting room. Each dog had a booth. Snacks for the owners too!
Brought Islay's portable crate too, so Islay could relax inside. Lots of waiting time, so Islay slept in there.
Brought my Jap "Lassie" comics along, to read while waiting.
Little Yorkie, Aguri had her booth next to hours. Bulldog Burumi, was on the booth the other side. Aguri, Islay, and Burumi, all 3 are rescued dogs!
The photos of the 8 finalists were on the poster too.
The presentation of the Japan Dog Idol finalists and winner, was part of the Animal Planet & Discovery Channel Event. At the event, there were other things going on too, like cat cafe (the cats were so adorable!), big dinosaur, etc.
I took the Dog Knowledge Test this year, but next year there'll be a Cat Knowledge Test held too!
News for the cat owners! The Japan Cat Idol Contest has started! You can register your cats' photos from the mobile phone! Maybe I'll enter Towser and Amber too!
The Japan Dog Idol 2009 booth! With the photos of the many dogs that participated!
Then the time for the Japan Dog Idol 2009 presentation on stage! First, all the finalists got certificates! Yay!
The winner was a French Bulldog. But Islay recieved the Niko Niko Douga Prize! Yay!! The prize was presented by the Niko Niko Douga character (chicken), like this! Click! I was hoping Islay would react to the chicken, but she didn't at all. Come to think of it, she has seen many of these stuffed characters walking around at other events, so I guess to her, it was nothing to be surprised about. The prize was a trophy with doggy on it, and the chicken stuffed toy! So happy! The certificate will arrive later, with Islay's name printed on it! Looking forward to that too!
ジャパンドッグアイドル2009 の発表の時の写真、ほんのちょっとですが!こちらで見られます!クリック!うーん、写真を見て… もっと、痩せなかあかんな、って思ったり。ってか、私だけ、ウェストポーチなんて付けてるし。お腹大きく見えるじゃん、実際も大きいけど、さらにね。皆貴重品とかどうしてたのだろう?心配でウェストに持ち歩いてしまいました。相変わらずみょうにカジュアルな格好だし。いちおう、サンダルとジーンズはNGってことなので、普段のジーンズとクロックスは避けたけど、全体的イメージは、あまり変らない?ってか、ちゃんとした服ってほとんど持って無いし…。
Click here to see a bit of the photo, during the presentation of the Japan Dog Idol 2009! No jeans and sandals were allowed, so I'm wearing slightly better than my usual, but still look so casual compared to others?
で、スッキリする前に会場に戻って、これから本番って時に、アイラが、ウンチしたいんです… ってうったえてきたのでした。あー!やっぱり!プープーしたいの?って聞くと、出口にグイグイ私を引っ張って行って、そうなの!って訴えてる。で、でも、もう時間が無いって言うことで… ごめん!ここじゃーできない?でもアイラは、こんな場所でできるわけ無いよー!って感じで。とりあえず、我慢してもらうしかなくって本番に。でも、係りの方には事情を話してあったので、実はステージの後ろでは、万が一!!のために待機もしていただいてました。アイラさん、ステージ上でも訴えたりしてソワソワ。本番の生中継のステージ上で、ウンピー!だけは避けたい!ので、アイラの動きを限度まで達して無いか?と一所懸命観察していたので、本番の進行は上の空~だったのでした。アイラさん、訴えてはいたけど、そもそも神経質なので、こんな人前ではよっぽど限界じゃない限り、やれるわけない!!って感じだったので、どうにか放送事故にならずに、済んだのでした。そして、本番が終った後は、控え室に戻ったり、カートで移動したりの時間もおしいので、アイラを抱っこしてダーッシュ!で外に連れ出したのでしたー!疲れたー!しかも、あーーー!エスカレーターが動いてない!!!!と私、長い階段を頑張って重たいアイラをかついで頑張りましたよ!汗だくになりながら!そして、戻ってから… 係りの方に、あのエスカレーターは、人が近づくと自動に動くようになってるんですよ、と聞かされました。あ。。。。。 私、無駄に、階段をアイラをかついで走ってしまったのね… まあ、いい運動になりました。パーカーまで湿ってしまうほど、汗かいちゃったよ!!とまあ、実は裏では色々焦ってたのですが!とても思い出いっぱいで楽しい一日となりましたー!ありがとうございましたーー!!
Really, thanks so much to all who voted for Islay!
I was taking photo of Islay and her prizes, when Towser barged in to rub against the trophy. Islay saying, don't touch it, THAT'S MINE!!! Towser please don't damage the trophy, please!
