This was my first time participating. It was my first awards ceremony and my first time in the standing area. I felt very safe because the staff could speak Japanese. As for the seats, wanting to see things up close backfired on me. It was so packed with people that I couldn't move, and I was so squeezed that I couldn't breathe. I got hot and felt sick, and my vision went black and white, and my hands went numb, so I had to be rescued. Next time, I'll get a seated ticket, even if it's far away.
