So I just got back from Japan a few days ago and I heard you guys like merch so I thought I would share what I got from the land of the rising sun and share my Torahime-Ichiza Experiece.
PSA: I just want to let you know anything that doesn't have Suzuka, Rinon, Hana, Megu, or Kano in it I am willing to trade(not selling sorry) in exchange for any other merch I would be interested in. PM me and we can work out details.
PSA2: Also, I didn't know this beforehand, but there is actually two TRIO stores in Akihabara that sell idol merch, but only one sells SG merchandise; which is the one closest to the JR station.

Back of the shirt Fun fact: Hana designed the tail for the back of the shirt!
My Torahime Experience: I saw the evening dinner show on April 16th, so a few parts might be a little hazy. Now I got there maybe about 15 minutes early and to my surprise I was the first one there. So I patiently sat there with a few empty chairs next to me until people started arriving as well as formerly meeting /u/2zko. Now I thought since this is my first time seeing a Sakura Gakuin graduate perform(aside from BM of course) I thought I should get Hana a small gift. Which my friend who was traveling with me at the time went to go get a bouquet of flowers and delivered just in time before our tickets were being checked and being escorted inside. As I walked towards my seat I could see their was a bar towards the center of the room while the stage extended was at the front extended towards the side of the room. /u/2zko sat next to me, and introduced me to other local Fukei some of the staff/performers/waiters/waitresses. Which still boggles my mind, the fact that you perform 10 shows a week AND serve customers is just...wow. And on to the show, and pretty much everything you've heard about this show, is absolutely 100% true. It might just be Amuse artists, but wow, they performers seriously put 110% of all they got into it. Watching this for the first time I can see why the local Fukei would go to mulitple shows in one week! It was about the second song their was crowd interaction, kept my eyes on Hana, she was going around interacting with people and finally came to my table and high tened me!(I died on the spot and came back to life). The rest of the show was dazzling and just a whole lot of fun in general, I was happily clapping pretty much every time any other person was clapping along. There was a part where we were allowed to take pictures , and as you can guess, I took a bunch of Hana. After the show pretty much everyone that didn't leave right after the show migrated to the bar to have some drinks. We were happily chatting along, and I was biting my time, waiting for the right moment to give my flowers to Hana, she walked passed the bar to a counter with a drawer that had some silverware in it, and I looked at /u/2zko and he just nodded in agreement that this was the time. So I walked up and called her name, said "Hello Hana! I am a fan from California! Thank you for the performance and your work in Sakura Gakuin!". Now, she said something in Japanese, something I can't really remember, but she had the brightest smile of joy and happiness on her face, which made my heart melt. The look on her face, is sort of a staple, that you know you will remember it for a long time. I bowed in thanks and walked away from probably one of the most memorable parts of my life. Afterwards I chatted a bit, picked up the shirt seen above, thanked the local Fukei and the cast members and walked out with a big smile on my face. Torahime-Ichiza is definitely a 10/10 would see again.
TL;DR Torahime-Ichiza lives up to the hype, met Hana and died.
EDIT: Apprently the link to the Hana album didn't work so I'll just link the pictures one by one.
