Ice CreaMusume held three signing events from north to south over the holidays. Clear good weather let fans in all area participate. The fans showed their complete support in the signing, letting the members, exhausted to injury and illness from the rigorous promotion schedule, forget their discomfort and performed their best for the fans.

Since Ice CreaMusume returned from Japan's H!P concert, they've spent almost everyday on gigs. Guuchan, whose school has started, was busy on both ends. Anchii suffered from stomach flu, Youko had dizziness spells due to irregular eating and sleeping schedule, Reirei aggravated an old knee injury. But, for the three concerts from north to south over two days, all members insisted on being present.

At Tainan, their first stop, since they had extra time, Ice CreaMusume went to the train station to promote the signing event. Anchii was carsick from the long ride, so the other members forbade her from going on the street and save her energy for the concert. So Anchii rested in the car. But, to show appreciation to the members and fans, Anchii regained her energy and sung and danced mightily. Leading to the audience chanting Anchii's name. Anchii's endurance raised the event's spirits

Other memorable events occurred over the three events. Such as H!P fans habitually participate in groups to effectively chant and show their strength. Ice CreaMusume has experienced this from the beginning, but in the central and south events, these fans were growing in number, leading the audience to chant various slogans during the performances. Each time, the shouts reached the heavens. Youko and Peipei once forgot their lines because the fans shouted their names before they began talking. As they passed Show Luo's signing event, enroute to their own, since Show was always supportive when Ice CreaMusume went on his show, Peipei and Guuchan excited yelled "stop the car! we have to go to Brother Piggy's (Show) signing event!" The other members had to remind them that their own events are about to start. So the driver could only slow the car to let the members see Show's excellent performance.

Due the hectic work schedule, Reirei and Anchii's old knee injuries were aggravated. To the point that it hurt to walk by the Taipei event. Shenshen, as the leader, not only had to coordinate the stage dialog, also had to consider their condition. Unfortunately, Youko became sick from the southern heat, and it got worse on the second day and was getting dizzy spells. But they kept a smiling face over the entire schedule. Their spirit was applauded by the audience. The normal mob was blocked off by considerate fans who formed human walls to let the Ice CreaMusume pass without being pushed. The considerate acts also became topics of conversation gy the members, who felt their fans were the most considerate and passionate

Since the Ice CreaMusume have to begin school, the company ended the planned signing events yesterday. They will check the members' school schedule to see if additional events can be planned. But the members will participate in any media gigs. And when possible, will continue to blog and interact with fans. Because not only do the fans want to see them in all channels, they also want to feel fan support everyday
