   My dinner review with Hayato and Val from Duel Jewel at Megacon!
I was one of the few that made it to the dinner with Hayato and Val on Saturday February, 17th. (One girl didn’t make it, so it was only three of us) It took my dad like an hour and a half to find the Fridays we were suppose to go to. I had to call John a couple times to actually get there too xD (Harry’s brother)

When I finally got there my friend Sabrina went to chat with our friends that were there too. I followed one of the staff members over to the table, and saw two other girls sitting there already. I took my seat next to the translator on the end, and conversed with the two other girls. (Which I found out they were Adi, 33 (I think) And I don’t recall the other girls name.. but she was 21.)

Then we Val and Hayato came and sat in front of us looking at the menu. (Val sat in front of me and Hayato next to the window) They were both smiling, and Hayato asked what we recommended. I blurted out “Salad” (which was what I got) and they repeated Salad after me and started laughing. I leaned over and pointed on Hayatos menu what I got and he ended up ordering almost the same thing I did. But he also got a side order of fries.. Which took the waitress a while to get what he wanted. xD Val got something with shimrp.. I really don’t remember.

While we were waiting we started talking about movies. American movies, Japanese movies, ect.. Then this really annoying waiter came and gave us our food and practically yells out. “Omg! Did you guys come from Megacon?? Where can I buy Dur Ein Gray Cd’s? Because I liked their songs on Death Gaze!!” I’m like o.o. And we told him the two guys in front of us were Hayato and Val from Duel Jewel, and he was just clueless. I got really tired of him and said “Just go to FYE” And he left. (Thankfully) He was really rude T_T.

I sorta nibbled on my salad I really didn’t eat to much but I did anyway just to be polite. We talked about anime.. oh boy xDD We asked their favorite anime and Hayato said Gundam Seed, and Deathnote. Val said some anime in Japanese but couldn’t recall the name in English. Then they asked us what our favorite anime was and the girl in the middle of me and Adi was like “Yaoi!”

Ok..I admit I wasn’t going to even mention that word..at all. xD But they were sort of clueless, and said they’ve never watched Yaoi or Yuri before (Liars xD j/k) And they asked where they could get some….I told them Anime Conventions, and they started to laugh. So they said they would try to get around the convention the next day since they never really got the chance to, since all the conventions they’ve been to was to do lives so they didn’t have much free time at all.

Then while we were asking questions and what not..Hayato kept picking some of the shrimp off Val’s plate and eating it xD When he already had so much food in front of him. It was really amusing. Then their manager didn’t want her food I guess (She got shrimp too xD) and pasted it over to Hayato. Who ate some of it as well.

Later on I brought up the subject about Hard Gay xDD they said they’ve seen what he does, and kept trying to tell us he wasn’t gay. xD We all knew that of course, and plus he’s married. Lol. Then I asked if they had taken any martial arts (and I also told them I was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and they started congratulating me ^_^) Val said he didn’t but he took boxing, and Hayato said he took Kendo I think, in Middle School, and then a more traditional martial art when he entered High School.

One of the staff members from the other table came over and sat a plate down with fudge (I think) and ice cream on top of the table.. Hayato and Val were reluctant to eat it but after a while they tried it..and it was hilarious xDD Hayato suddenly bursts out “Sweet!!” In English, and Val goes “Super Sweet!”

Finally John came over and took our cameras to take pictures of all of us at the table. Then we went over to the wall and took pictures with Hayato and Val separately. That night was so fun and lively I’ll never forget it. ^_^

Edit** Here are some pictures from the dinner and the convention!
