It's just a matter of cultural differences. We can't do much about it since there are certain restrictions among the entertainment industry that one is bound to obey it at all costs; even if it's outside the country of origin. Since every Japanese have their idol's signature on a piece of white board, we should appreciate that we didn't get a piece of A5 blank paper. So it's pretty fair in my humble opinion.
I suppose things work differently on the Chinese industry. Thinking back 2 years ago I attended a singer's concert and got her autograph on the cover of the album I bought. After signing, I took up my camera and asking her to let me have a close shot at her face, but unfortunately I was stopped by her manager as well. Likewise, I was kind of unhappy back then, but come to think of it, it's just a matter of custom one must obey for safety. Imagine if I was to take that picture, many fans will just jump on stage and start taking photographs of her. What will happen if 100 fans just bump onto her? (Well there weren't that many that time...just below 100 fans attended I guess...)
I understand how you feel, and I have had the same rage and anger. But hey, at least you got one of the 100 autographs given out yesterday and you're considered lucky. See how Amduser, Kyon22 plus me were crying at this forum when the concert started and see how eager we were wanting to be there. Haha, I even messaged my friend in Singapore saying: "May'n! May'n! May'n! May'n! May'n! (cheers from Penang)". But he wasn't at the concert that time with the reason "I'm not a big fan of hers". Oh well, Singaporeans are quite proud and arrogant at times.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to offense you. Just think of us who missed out all the fun and thrill for the past 2 days and you who got to see her IN PERSON, a handshake and a yet-to-be-satisfied autograph; hopefully it may help ease the pain. Peace and cheers
but they shouldn't just gv a pre-sign signature on a whiteboard, they should at least gv us a whiteboard and let us hv her signature, like this will at least gv more satisfication to everyone

If you're trying to say japanese ppl are only allowed to sign on whiteboards....then i direct you to Ichirou Mizuki who signed everybody's anything. WTF amirite? This "Japanese standard of autographs" is bullshit and is just an illusion by emo and depressed fans.
Anyway 4:33am....just arrived back in KL from SG. Flying at 140kmh on the highway. Feel damn tired but it was worth it.
Highlights for today for me:
- Singapore grand toy hunting tour brought by friend from 8am - 3pm
- Free Diamond Pass given to me by a good samaritan....omg....God bless him.
- May'N concert was awesome. Full of energy and emotion. Much better than I expected. Definately better than Hirano.

(I think i saw her pantsu when she did her kicks) Kind of disappointed that there was no encore.

- Setsuna becoming emo and breaking down into tears when May'N sung Diamond Crevasse. I think Quazecotl was crying too.

- Epic fail signature session. Manager gave out white cardboards...something like what you find under birthday cakes signed by May'N. Some comrades (i think mostly Malaysians) attempted to be AN HERO and tried to get May'N to sign something else (CDs, artbooks, etc) but her yakuza manager forbid it.
Generally i don't feel too bad cuz my Diamond VIP pass was not paid by me.....but i feel really bad for the ppl who paid SGD 118 and got a white cardboard.

omg....!!! gt sing diamond crevass?! damn it i never go, that will be the big regret of my life
