On Sunday, 8 September 2013, lyrical school — nicknamed “Ririsuku” by fans — held a one-day manager event at Shibuya 109 Ticket Port Pia STATION. Four members — ami, yumi, minan, and ayaka — stood behind the counter selling tickets, signing each pass by hand, shaking hands, and running cheki (instant photo) sessions. Rain did not thin the crowd.
The event was a collaboration ahead of SUNSHINE IDOLIZED FES 2013, the outdoor festival scheduled for 15 September 2013 at Tokyo Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal. Members wore the festival T-shirt that would go on sale at the main event. Fans and idols traded “see you next week!” energy — the report was written when the Harumi date was still one week away. Member rosters, ticket links, and idol-unit histories have moved on; treat details below as September 2013 facts.
What happened at the counter
The Pia STATION setup turned ticket sales into a fan-meet shift. Each ticket received a careful signature. Handshakes and cheki sat on top of the purchase — a bundle typical of idol retail events where the transaction is also the program.
Fans chatted with members about the upcoming festival. The T-shirts on stage doubled as preview merch for SUNSHINE IDOLIZED FES branding. Even in wet weather, turnout was strong enough for the piece to emphasize persistence — heads (the group’s fan label, quoted from ami’s comment) showing up despite bad footing.
Member comments from the floor
ayaka: First time working as a “manager”; many people came and she was happy — thank you.
ami: Many heads came despite poor conditions; enjoyed talking with everyone; looking forward to the 15th — thank you.
yumi: The Pia event made her more excited for the 15th — thank you.
minan: Grateful for the large turnout — thank you.
Short quotes, but they capture the promotional rhythm: a ticket desk event whose real payoff was one week later on the water.

lyrical school profile and album timing
At the time of the report, lyrical school’s official bio traced the group to tengal6, a 2010 audition-formed “pure hip-hop idol” unit that built early buzz online and played clubs and live houses. The active six named in profile copy were ami, ayaka, mei, yumi, hina, and minan — note that only four worked the Pia counter that day.

Shibuya 109 and the live-camera map
109’s ticket port sat inside the same youth-retail gravity that still pulls pedestrians toward Shibuya Station. Idol handshake events there were less about stage scale than about converting mall traffic into festival ticket sales one week out. For the scramble-level crowd rhythm in the same ward today, see the Shibuya Crossing live camera.
Travelers stacking Shibuya culture stops with a longer outing can compare options in best day trip from Tokyo.
Confirm current idol activities, ticketing, and 109 tenant formats before planning a visit.
