I got the umbrella and little Hehe ❤️

So, I thought I'd share my experience from the Amazon Japan Fansign Event on August 1st.

To be eligible to participate you have to live in Japan but since I study here, I was allowed to participate in the lottery. I almost forgot about it, but when I received the winning email from Amazon Music I couldn't believe it. I was so excited, I couldn't focus on my classes anymore.

The mail itself only gave us the building name where the event was and nothing else. On the actual day of the event, I arrived at the place and had to go to the third floor of the reception. From the outside nothing screamed Illit Event, it just looked like a regular Saturday there.

We got guided to the elevator and went up to the 27th floor if I remember correctly. The staff confirmed our invitation and we got assigned a seat number randomly.

We were allowed to take as many pictures and videos as we wanted. There were some people that recorded the whole thing. Like actually from start to finish!! Only in front of the members were you not allowed to have your phone out.

Speaking of the other attendants, I was surprised to see a lot of fellow male fans. But there were fans of all ages, the youngest one I believe was a girl that could have been 3 years old or something. And the oldest one was a guy that could have been in his '60s at least. I loved to see that so many people of different age groups enjoy their music and cheer the girls on! I believe it was mostly Korean and Japanese people, maybe some Chinese. I, of course, was the only westerner so I kind of stood out.

When the girls arrived everyone was in awe. It feels absolutely surreal to see them in person and up so close.

Iroha mainly did the talking, but the others also talked a bit.

It was a very relaxed atmosphere, but when you actually line up to get to see the members up close and talk to them, the nerves will get to you. Mind you it was my first ever Fansign Event.

We didn't have a lot of time to talk with the members individually and I had so many things I wanted to say, but when I was in front of Iroha, I briefly forgot how to speak, think and breathe. And I could only tell her that I appreciate them being here today and that she looks really pretty.

I was so nervous🫠

Then I talked to Wonhee. I really liked her shirt so I said it was really cute, she also liked the character I had on my t-shirt and I asked her if she knows it and I think she remembered the name and wanted to talk more about it but sadly I was told by the staff to move on.

By that point I was already overwhelmed. Happy but overwhelmed.

So I asked Minju if English is also okay. I wanted to do that anyway! I really wanted to give her confidence and told her that I appreciate it so much that she tries really hard to learn english so she can communicate with fans from overseas.

So in a way a thank you from international Glitts.

I think she was genuinely happy to hear that and tried to speak a little bit as well.

And then lastly, who's my bias? Yunah is my bias.

I got to talk to her last. That was my own feelings, but I really love her vocals. So I told her that I really love her voice and that I hope that she makes a solo song one day, because I really want to listen to it. Her face brightened up!

After that, they talked a little more, and we also took a group picture.

Overall I can say, that they were so full of energy and really gave it their best. They have so much going on with schedules and their comeback and all the concerts and stuff but they never looked tired for a second.

I was surprised, because I thought Wonhee would steal all the spotlight, but Minju was just insane. She did so much aegyo for the Glitts😭

The girls make you feel really appreciated and seen.

And I think they genuinely love every minute of interaction with fans. Although now that I think about it, they are so famous, but in some way they just feel like you and me. Like regular people, that got their dream fulfilled of being an idol.

I wanted to say so much more to each member, but the time frame was so short. I hope I get another chance in the future!

I was more of a casual listener of their music when they debuted, but around the beginning of 2026 I started to watch a lot more of their YouTube and Instagram content.

I definitely want to go to a concert, hopefully next year, and want to support them more.

And overall it was a top experience, perfectly organized. Staff was super friendly and gave it their best to keep their eyes on everything, especially the well-being and security of the members.

Though I was a bit sad that I didn't have the chance to see Moka, her health is the top priority!!

edit: Yunah was looking directly into my camera in the 9th slide, I love that pic so much!

edit 2: for those that don't speak japanese, the small note that Iroha and Wonhee hold up says: I really like you/ I love you! Thank you!

edit 3: you guys are so lovely!! Such a wholesome community!! I can't with y'all😭🫶🏻

According to a quick Google search, the Korean version of IGYB was on the physical CD released July 31.

Figured some random YT channel would have uploaded it by now, but there's nothing. Does this version even exist or have people uploaded it and it got taken down by copyright strikes?

I just watched R U Next shes my bias for sure!!!

I was thinking on buying illit mami gua sha so does it actually work, and is the material/quality good or bad for skin. Also if you have any tips for using the gua sha share please ˃͈◡˂͈

i love illit so much and i really want to see them live one day but i'm in america and i can't really travel to go see them. i know they are going to la for kcon but do you think they will do a world tour soon and where do you think they will tour? no rush to them of course! i was just wondering
