The morning of the preliminary started with an early wake up at 7 am and then a bus ride to Everland Theme Park. Before moving to the stage area we had planned to take pictures at the Rose Garden there but questionable weather changed things and everyone basically had free time. Some people went to the Rose garden anyway as it made for a rare treat in photo scenery. There was a staging run through at 2 and the show got started at 3 pm.

Here is a picture of all competitors and Guests lined up on stage. Among the guests was Fay (Thailand 2007, 2009) and Kara from Thailand, Akira and Sigma (Osaka 2007) from Osaka, a group from Tokyo and Goldy (Tokyo 2006) from Tokyo.
