I saw Takanashi Kiara at a merch store in Tokyo yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, “I have 50,000 viewers right now.” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “peko? peko? peko?” and thrusting her phone showing her viewercount in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Calliope Mori posters in her hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma'am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the posters and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each poster and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by laughing really weirdly.
