我的日本之旅

18.06.2008 晴

I started on my journey to Japan! Haha, I can just call this trip my 日本之KAT-TUN之旅！=D
I took the midnight , well, not really midnight cause it is 11plus haha but still i shall call it the midnight flight. SQ 638 and it's in terminal 3 and gate A2 haha

I was feeling super scared when i was waiting for boarding. the moment i went in immigration and was like alone walking inside i felt v scared lah i mean it's the first time i am going overseas alone. and for the first time i felt that there's totally nth interesting about the shops inside and i went to wait for boarding very early... ya so waited and waited and finally they started to call for boarding. and because i am economic cls so had to wait very long lah and finally i board the plane!! oh and there's this board at the boarding area with the seating plan haha i think because the plane too big so they have the board, cuz i sit A380 mah... i took a pic of tat haha...

So i boarded the plane and had supper and breakfast on the plane. Here's a Pic of the "NEW" in flight entertainment they said to have on A380 but it looked the same as the one on the plane to hong kong last year nothing special.

Had a hard time sleeping on the plane even though the seat beside me was empty. Cause firstly I 不好意思 lie down and slp and secondly i cannot lie down properly also i have to lie down half way so very 辛苦. Then without me knowing i just suddenly looked out the window and wow it's already morning the sky is bright! then i know i am reaching tokyo soon! and amazingly from the moment i board the plane all my fears start to slowly disappear. And i got to say the service for overnight flight is very good.

19.06.2008

At around 7.30am, I arrived in Tokyo Narita! After 3 months I was back in Japan. Was feeling very happy! The moment I landed I called my mum cause she worried so i called and then cleared custom and all. And i stood there waiting for my bag so long(ok nt as long as when i come back) but my bag did not come out and my bag has the priority tag cuz my dad asked for it. And i heard the ground staff saying business class bags over here and i looked at the belt and found out not a single priority tag so i decided to go look at the business cls side and true enough my bag was there. It's so nice lah they actually take out all the priority bag and place it at the side so it was very easy to find their bag.

Then i went to exchange my Japan Rail Pass and got my ticket for Tokyo. But my Train leaves only at 8.53am so I had quite alot of time to walk around. So i went back to the viewing mall which i remembered was very nice the other time and took a look. It looked different cuz the other time when i came it was in the evening and the sun was setting and now it's in the morning, there wasn't much people there. Here's a pic.

For some reason I really like this viewing mall and when i left the plane i saw that the temperature was 19degree I was abit shocked lah cause i thought it was suppose to be quite hot but when i reached the viewing mall the weather was just nice, really liked it. then i went to my favourite convenience store in japan LAWSON haha i really like LAWSON i also don't know why. then bought a bottle of drink and went to wait for my train.

Then boarded the train and my stop was at Ikebukuro which was the last stop but at Shinjuku i suddenly saw this person taking my luggage and walking past my seat I was shocked and immediately go and chase that person lah by the time i caught up with her was just nice at the place where you put luggage when boarding the train and the person was changing my luggage with hers and then she explained that she got the wrong luggage because our luggage's color was similar. Wow, lucky me she found out that it was the wrong luggage or else i am dead!

Well, then finally at 10.27am i arrived at ikebukuro! then i dragged my luggage for about 10 min or so to the hotel Sakura Hotel. But because i was too early and it was not check in time yet so i left my luggage at Sakura Hotel and transferred my laptop to the luggage and off i went to explore Tokyo. Because my friend will only arrive at around 4pm so this morning was spent alone.

First stop in Tokyo, the park in 1 Pound Gospel. (Told you this is a KAT-TUN Tour). This park is actually in 王子， and the name of the park is 飛鳥公園。 haha it was very near to ikebukuro and it took only about 15 minutes or so to reach but i still had to change train. It took me quite a while to find the park when at the station cause when i looked at the map online it was just beside but i couldn't really find it so had to walk a while to find it. finally i found it! But it was very weird cause it was a play ground and it was filled with kids and there i was this tourist there felt very out of place. I actually wanted to go play the slide but all kids so i dare not lah in the end only walk here and there and took some pics.

then i saw that 'train' that ryosuke hid in and actually wanted to go inside and pull the bell like what kousaku did but firstly there was this mother inside who has this "don't disturb me look" ok maybe i was just scared so i did not go in but i looked inside from out side and found out the bell was not there and there was this sign saying "please do not ring the bell" haha so i figured out that they could pull the bell was because they were fliming. haha here's a pic of the train.

Then I left park and left for my next stop which was 原宿. It took me quite a while to get there about 1/2 hour or so. The main purpose for me going there is because I wanted to go see if Jshop had a quene and I wanted to get a number card cause like this if the timing matched my friend and i could go there at night without having to quene and thus saving time the next day. But when i reached the place. The guy just said "irashaimase" which means welcome. I got shocked lah. Cuz i always heard about needing to quene to get into Jshop and there i was not needing to quene so i went in and was quite shocked that the place is small and also it was very cooling and clean. :D then since i actually didnt intend to start collecting photos so i did not buy any photos and since i would be coming back again with my friend 琪琪 so i figured that i shall just get the two thing that i wanted badly which was the ticket holder and the photo album cuz i have my dream boys ticket and dream boys photo set which has no place to hold and i am very scared the ticket would fade away if i don't keep it properly so I bought them. And it's very funny cuz i see people's bill was like 10 000 over yen and here i was buying this 2 things that add up to only 1000 plus haha. So when i left i took a picture of the Jshop sign nearby I dare not take a pic of the shop's front cuz there was staff standing there and it obviously says no taking of picture so i did not take.

Then i went to 竹下通. To look if they sell tickets to the KAT-TUN concert in hiroshima that weekend. Because we were saying if they had we would see 多一场 cuz 毕竟 we already went all the way to japan so we don't mind paying more to see it another time even though it's the same concert. But sadly the shop that sold tickets did not have. Then i walked past tat same neoprint shop that says "We do not welcome boys only in the shop" hahahahaha! very funny lah as though the shop selling some weird things. So I took a picture of it the other time i went they only had the japanese sign but now they have it in english as well haha but i didnt take the english one cuz it was like in the centre and if i took it , it would be very obvious and once again they said no taking of photos so i only took the japanese one from the side.

Then I didn't shop cause I will be back there again the next day with 琪琪 so i just walked till the ticket shop and seeing that they do not have it i made my way back to the station and set off to 渋谷(Shibuya)。 I was already sweating like mad cuz the temperature is starting to rise but it was stil around 26-27 degrees which was still cool compared to here. And i have tis habit of walking very fast, even though i am not in a rush so i was sweating. so i reached 渋谷 which was only 1 stop away from 原宿. Then i changed to another train and off i went to 代官山.

Actually i also didnt know why i wanted to go there maybe it was because of the drama First Kiss so wanted to go there and walked around but in the end everything there seem so expensive so i didnt really walked much and took the train back to Shibuya.

Yup, here i am back at Shibuya which was like the station i go to almost everyday the other time i came to japan cuz my hotel was there. I agree I miss the place but it felt different fromt before and then the moment i stepped out of the station I saw Kame's crunky ad at the ad space where kat-tun had their Plus - X ad the other time when i was here. Then i was greeted with lots of Speed Racer posters. Well, i expected that cuz i saw the pics on some fan's blog. Then saw the big big L photo under the HMV sign which was Kimura Takuya the other time i came. Then i went to Tsutaya to look for firstly , "Don't U Ever Stop" and Mihimaru's Mihimarised(did i get it rite?) which Avril wanted but sadly i did not get my Don't U　Ever Stop there was no stock but got Mihimarise at the second time when i looked for it. Then as usual Tsutaya has this nice kat-tun sign they have for their albums every time there was something new. I secretly took a picture of it. Although it may seem nothing to you guys.

Then I sat at Starbucks(the window seat on second floor) and just stare at the amazing traffic light while i finish my frappuchino. Something which i doubt i will do in Singapore but enjoy doing. Just siting there alone and drinking my Frappuchino and looked at different people at the junctions. Then after i finish my drink, i looked at the time and found out that i was moving faster than i planned so i decided to skip Ebisu (again) and go to tokyo station to get my food so that i could have an extra 1 hour to go bathe in the hotel before meeting 琪琪 cuz i was sweating and very smelly. haha so I took the train to Tokyo station to get the mochi mochi doughnut that was introduced in Cartoon KAT-TUN bought a few and started moving back to Ikebukuro. I took like 1 round of the 山の手線 in just that afternoon.

So I was back in Ikebukuro and walked to my hotel agn and check-in. Then some thing super 丢脸 happen which was when i checked in the person gave me the key and i clumsily brought my bag upstairs and tried to enter my room 209. But i could not open the door, i turn here turn there still cannot open so i went down to the counter again and told the guy "Excuse me, I cannot open the door." haha so paiseh lah then he took the main key and went up and then luckily his first try sort of fail so i was not so paiseh and then he opened the door and i learned that you must turn back and forth quickly to open the door. Yup, so I bathed and 香香了 and since still abit early so i watched tv. and then i saw they were showing "Last Friend" i was sort of shocked lah cuz i thought that showed ended a week ago. So i watched it and it was like the second last episode and found out that night that it was the last episode tat night.

Then it was about time so off i went to meet 琪琪. We planned to meet at mcdonald's so I went there and bought a hamburger and coke because i did not have lunch that day.and OH MY GOD! it's super cheap lah it costed only 150 yen!!! which is like only about S$2! Cheap rite?! so waited and ate my burger and then finally met 琪琪。haha it was very 尴尬 at the beginning we don't know what to say and we keep laughing haha very funny lah then we went back to the hotel and then we settled down and we set off to 浅草(Asakusa) to see the famous temple with the big lantern so we arrived and i found out that it was the 50th anniversary! wow! but i did not take a picture of the lantern cuz i took it the other time so i took a pic of the 50th anniversary sign. 

Then we walked down that street but it looked different from before they no longer have the fake sakura at the top and we found out the stores were closing!! and by the time we made it in to the temple, it was already closeD!!! however the thing which you can 抽签 was stil there so we decided to give it a try. I got 半吉 so was abit sad lah and it said that i will find the things i lost. and that day i did not bring my phone out and was panicking on the train cuz i don't know where it was! but luckily i found it in the hotel room in the end so it was quite acurate. But still 半吉 was quite affected by it lah。 琪琪  got 大吉 haha so good!

Then we slowly walked to the station and make our way to 大門 which was the place to see Tokyo Tower. We wanted to go to 芝公園 which was the place where Kame and Koki set off from during the CTKT no plan travel special. Ya so we made our way there and there was two place that looked like the place and i kept insisting it was the place that was higher but in  the end when i came back and re watch the video i found out it was the place that was lower so 琪琪 was correct haha. the view was nice as it was evening so you can see like some light. aiya i don't know how to explain just look at the photo.

Ya so after that we made our way to 浜松町station to meet Harry to get our ticketS!!!! =D then we were thristy so we bought drinks on the way and drank on our way to the station. And i found out there was not many dustbin and no one seem to drink on the road except us haha. so we went to meet Harry and after waiting a while in front of the yama P ad (haha didnt know till 琪琪 pointed it out)

Harry came and he was very nice and passed us our tickets and all and it was like in the enveloped and all those "ads" they had which came with the tickets  was also given to us! :D Harry was very nice. Really Thank You! will doing my thank you speech at the end of this cuz there's sooooo many people to thank! then had to leave cuz he had something on so 琪琪 and I went to eat at the revolving Sushi Store at the station and ate 道地的sushi! we were both 嗆 by the large amount of Wasabi they add in the sushi haha and there was not many woman in the store lah i think cause it's their culture that such stores are normally for man to quickly settle their meals but we didnt know then so we went in and eat lah. So after eating only a few plates i was already full and so was her so we finish off and went back to hotel.

Then when we reached the hotel we took out the tickets and see again, cuz when we collected the tickets i already quickly see where is the seat and i think i saw ARENA!  so when we went back and see it and i saw the words アリーナ then i was very happy lah cuz i remember that ARENA means quite good seat =D  So we were happy!

Although i already saw news during airport tat the concert goods were going to start selling in hiroshima a day before the concert but checked again in the hotel and so actually regretted why didnt we go to hiroshima a day before. Then i also saw in the airport or was it at the hotel i cant really rmb tat they were going to release 100 over new shop photos on 21/6 in Jshop. then was like "AH!" cuz we planned to go to Jshop on 20/6 and the concert was on 21/6 so anyway I had no time to go to Jshop to get the photos so was like quite sian-ed.

Then that night saw abit of "Last Friend" last episode but didnt get the ending cuz i went to bathe. And then after a long day we went to slumberland! haha cuz had to wake up early the next day.

Yup, that's the end of my first day in Japan! wow very long ah!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20.06.2008 晴

Well, today started quite early. Woke up early well, we wake up early everyday in Japan! haha! Yup, so off we went to 原宿。 Because we were early and Jshop is not open yet, so we went to 明治神宫。

Yup it was quite a long walk till we actually reach the place. Then when we went in I bought a amulet for Avril and one for myself and then we went in to see. And like what I heard from fans there have this place in which they write their wishes on the wooden thing and hang it. Heard that many fans see lots of those wishing for KAT-TUN and other idols but I only saw one wishing for HSJ's Summary to be a sucess. So 琪琪 and me both also wrote the wish on the wooden thing and hang it there. お願い！

Yup then we did the same thing as in Asakusa place the 100 yen and draw lots. Then I decided to draw the Japanese one although my Japanese is not very good and there was a english one but i mean we are at Japan right? So drew the Japanese one. Then we went in and pay our respect the clapping and bowing thing in case you are wondering what is paying respect. Yup and so after that we left and move to our next stop Jshop!

That is the little sign they have outside 原宿。 So we happily went to Jshop and once again I was thinking if there's gonna be a quene and lucky us there isn't so IN we went to the shop :D  Well, for some reasons I decided to start my collection of photos since the photo album I got could have up to 80 photos and I only have like 12 or so from DBS and would have about 24 or so from the coming concert which means there's still lots of place for photos so I started my photo collection. I intend to get 10 photos on that day so that it will be a nice number but well, in the end I only got 6. haha quite a wonderful thing isn't it?

Then at 原宿 station there's this big poster of the new show that Toma is acting in.

And when we got to the platform we saw this poster about Kinki Kids' DVD! The other time at Harajuku I saw NEWS's poster for 太陽の涙 and this time Kinki Kids, you really get to see lots of Johnny's stuff in Harajuku! So here's the pic:

So we left 原宿 and headed off to Shibuya to get to JFC! Well, since I did my research before that so it wasn't such a difficult job finding the place. So as we got closer to the place i started walking faster haha so excited to get to JFC! So finally we arrive at JFC

The place is very nice and when we reached there it was quite empty, well, i think it's because it's a school day and we are early. :D So when we went in the Video was not playing KAT-TUN so we decided to start taking pictures! Whoo! I mean that's what you do there right? and saw the messages left by almost all the Johnny's artist. and finally all that's left to do is wait for KAT-TUN to appear on the video. Well, sadly it was playing Takki and Tsubasa. And slowly the video start to spoil it keep jumping! i start to feel scared cuz if it continue to jump till kat-tun time i will not be able to see it properly! and i came all the way from Singapore to see it! So finally the staff found out about it and was trying to fix it and then she started forwarding the video and we saw NEWS going over forwarded and after KAT-TUN appeared! and can hear people like sounding happy but it was also so forwarded and in the end after very long it started working. and now i shall talk about what i remember from the videos haha...

Takki and Tsubasa: The stupid ad about the new single had like 4 versions and it was playing one after the other! and it all started the same way so by the 3rd or 4th time the ad started we were all laughing already cuz it keeps repeating haha

Kinki Kids: I remember koichi taking the mic down so that it could be in the screen and from the way he talked that was what happen everytime they had their interview haha funny.

Tegomasu: In between kinki kids, tegomasu suddenly came in and then kinki just like talked a while and then it was passed on to tegomasu haha very interesting way. then later i rmb the ending one of them could not open the door because it was pull and he pushed or the other way round haha

Toma and Ohno: Well, there are both in a drama so they appeared together.haha the opening was very funny cuz ohno say "Arashi desu" but it's not cuz toma is not from arashi and then they took quite a while to intro themselves haha

Gokusen Trio: Haha don't really remember much all i know is that we were trying to figure out where they took the video haha

Well, and V6 and Machi and Smap went through well, nothing much but well there were quite a few we didn't even see them when the person was fast forwarding lah can imagine how fast the thing was fast forwarding haha.

Finally it was NEWS after that will be kat-tun!. Haha. It was quite interesting and since i sort of like news more than the other bands so i decided to record it and i was standing at the side so the sound was not very good and videoing was not allowed so i was secretly filming. Haha i thought yama p didnt realy talk but 琪琪 said he started haha so you can see i don't realy take note haha...

LASTLY KAT-TUN!!!! Whoo! when i was recording NEWS i found out the sound wasn't really good so when it was KAT-TUN's turn 我豁出去了. I stood in the middle when it was directly under the speaker and held my camera up and shoot. Obviously i shot the smaller tv that was further from the counter lah haha. But still very paiseh, there were some fans looking at me like i am some freak lah! Cause cannot film mah i think in their mind they must be scolding "You stupid fan don't know how to follow rules ah?!" haha。 Well, so the video started and i am very happy cause i understood most of it haha. the main speakers were Nakamaru, Koki and Kame. Then Taguchi was once again being 吐嘈 by the rest of the members. Haha and i love Ueda's ending! KAWAII!!! Then the way they decide on things is really very funny for KAT-TUN. Haha everything also scissors paper stone. Don't care is playing games , sitting position or pairing up of rooms haha!

So after KAT-TUN i was thinking if the next one would be Kanjani 8 so i told 琪琪 let's wait if it is Kanjani 8 I wanna see but sadly Kanjani 8 did not have a video (I think) they only played Wahaha PV

Oh, during the waiting for KAT-TUN video which took about at least more than an hour we were so bored that I started looking at the notices on the notice board asking for people to help out at shows and all and to my surprise i though i saw that we could purchase You & J back numbers so was telling 琪琪 and so we went to the counter and check out. And with my broken Japanese i asked the nice lady if we could and WE COULD! even though we are not members so the two of us happily bought all that was available which is only 3 issues. Haha this is a big discovery cause when looking at other fans repo about going to JFC and all no one said about being able to purchase You & J! haha So we were very happy!

So after that we decided to go walk around Shibuya and ate Yoshinoya at the station it was very different from Singapore they have a raw egg together with the beef bowl and since i don't know how to eat it i added it in my beef bowl and mixed. Haha and there's like not a single female in the shop lah it's all male weird ah... Mayb it's the same theory as the sushi thingy at the station the night before. Here's a pic of BATMAN ad in Shibuya i took when going back to the station from JFC.

It looked very nice there but did not turn out that nice on photo. Yup there are always times like this. So we went to HMV and I got my headphone haha cause i could not stand using my dad's one which i use on the plane and cause the price was quite reasonable and it looked cute so i got it :D Then we went to 109 and once again 109 is too crowded so we went to 109-2 and i got my skirt like shorts! Very happy! been wanting to get that since i saw it on CTKT but Singapore don't have lah. やっぱり日本の服がいい

Oh Oh Oh! We saw something very amazing which is people in Power Ranger Suits Sweeping the floor! HAHA! actually i did not want to take a pic of it but since 琪琪 took so i also did. HAHA here's the pic! Red ranger was very poor thing cause his dustpan did not have a stick so he always had to squat down to sweep.

So we were both too excited to get to Harajuku so we left Shibuya and went to Harajuku! Then i saw this cute hello kitty in front of the convenience store so i took a pic of it haha it wasn't there the other time i was there.

Oh then when 琪琪 was taking picture of the 竹下通 sign which i took the other time already i saw the tv advertising and found some thing very nice so i took a pic of it. Well, only kat-tun fans understand.

So we went to Harajuku and look at all the 生写真 shops but did not get any. Then there have those capsules thingy with idol stuffs inside so we decided to turn. The first time i turn i got this paper in the ball saying I got like the higher prize for Akanishi so i happily went to exchange and got 2 laminated photo from magazine and a card saying i am a member of the fanclub for akanishi which is some thing fans pay to make in the shops lah hahaha So was quite happy i got the better prize then we went to another shop and this time i got Kame's Keychain so it was quite a lucky day for me. And then we went to the shop which sold tickets hoping there would be hiroshima tickets but sadly there isn't any :( then i finally found Cartoon KAT-TUN II You Concert's T-shirt but it was 5000 yen which is very ex so i gave up and did not get it.

Then we went to the shop which males only cannot enter to take neoprint! haha it was fun fun fun! it's so cheap it cost an average of 400 yen which is like only about S$5.20 which is like 1/2 price lah and they even have 300yens one too! So we spent quite a while there and took two times :D anyway it was very fun lah. if i ever have the time i will scan them in but well, since we are in japan we act cute act cute lah! hahaha

Then after that we finish walking and tried to find beams in Harajuku but we could not find it! Well, we were like soooooo close to it but we missed it! Ya we walk down 表参道 which sells all the branded goods and when we walk past burberry we started saying that kame must always be shopping here with all the branded goods haha 名牌龟 haha

Ya so we could not find beams in Harajuku and it was going to be 8pm soon which is when beams close we rush back to Ikebukuro but by the time we found it, it was already close. So we missed it. Then settled for dinner and cause i was tired already and had to pack so i wanted to faster eat faster go haha so anyhow eat. So our day ended and we went back to the hotel. :D

So I had quite a hard time packing the stuffs into the luggage haha bought too many things then we listened to Kame's radio show although the reception was not very good but we heard it live! YAY! like hearing kame's radio live you know?! ok you don't .

That night we couldn't really sleep cause we were too excited about the concert so we talked quite alot before sleeping about how we both like KAT-TUN, like how we know them and stuffs haha... Ya but still after a while we went to sleep cause we had to wake up super early the next day to catch our Shinkansen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

21.06.2008 雨

Today is the day! It's the day of the concert!!! Woke up very early to catch our Shinkansen <Hikari 403> which leaves Shinagawa at 7.40am and just for your information that station is about half an hour away from ikebukuro so you can imagine how early we woke up! haha Yup we took the train which leaves Shinagawa at 7.40am and then we reached Shin Osaka and change train to the <Hikari Railstar 459> which leaves Shin Osaka at 10.59am. The distance from Tokyo to Hiroshima took us about 5 hours. Yes, it's only an hour or so difference from me coming back to Singapore haha. I think the Hikari Railstar was better than the Hikari car although because we got our tickets late we had to sit in smoking cabins :( but we were just too excited to bother haha. So we reached Hiroshima in about 12.28pm. So once we left the train we had to start looking for how to go cause I did not really research on it so in the end we asked the Tourism counter haha then we left to take the city train which we did not know how to pay and haha we accidentally cut people quene and got on to the train first. It's very cute there you actually pay when you alight and not drop. haha so we took the train and we were like so excited throughout the ride and then actually I was not that 紧张 but because 琪琪 was so I also got influence and got very 紧张。so we reached the stop which is called and because I do not know where the green arena is so we decided to follow people and I saw this fan taking the countdown plastic bag so I know confirm is go see KAT-TUN one so we followed and as we got near the place we started seeing fans holding papers asking for people to give up or sell their tickets to them. Finally we got to the place! WHOO!! there's like lots of people already queuing to enter for the afternoon session. So we got excited and went to see the goods! WAH all super nice lah then we started looking for what they call people who sell 黄牛票 but cause both of us is the first time we are going to see a concert so we don't know how they look like lah so been looking around for quite a while but I dare not approach them even though some of them look like lah but still scared scared so finally Is saw this girl like go ask this lady then they seem like they are talking about buying tickets so I 鼓起勇气 go ask the lady and with my private limited Japanese, I ask if there's any way to get tickets and then she started saying in Japanese a whole loads of stuffs and then i went "sorry i am not japanese so i did not really get what you said" so she said "oh" and then explain it in simple terms to me which is she's selling tickets at 25 000yen each for STAND tickets at block A. So i asked 琪琪 and in the end cause it was too expensive we gave up cause 25 000yen is really alot and it's only STAND not ARENA! so we discussed and decided that ok we shall not see the afternoon one cause we sadly do not have enough money so we decided to go and get our concert goodS! and it was already starting to rain like mad. So we quene up and i wrote down for 琪琪 all the stuffs she wanted lah so funny like shopping list like that then when it was my turn i bought let's see:

• All the Clear Files cause the posters were too nice but tooo big so i got the files instead although poster is stil nicer!
• All the Photo Set
• Light stick
• 2 Water Bottles
• 2 Shopping bag
• 场刊
• Storage Box ( VERY PRETTY!)
• 2 Coin Mirror

Ya i think that's about all then when i met 琪琪 after buying then she asked me "you didnt get the limited ed badge?!" then i was like oh shit i forgot all about it! Damn! how can i forget such an important thing lah! so we went back to quene again! because of me and then i got another coin mirror and the badge.

Here's a pic of how crowded it was haha

HEHE so since we could not get tickets so we decided to get back to the hotel and check in first. So we poor thingly had to share 1 umbrella and had to shield our goods so in the end haha the 结果 is we both got wet and the goods got dry hahaha so had a hard time finding the hotel and but finally got it and check in and started looking at our stuffs! wHOO! damn nice then we slack abit in the hotel and then we left for the concert!

<CONCERT REPO> Another DAY

So after the concert we left the place and when we were on our way out and still high-ing we saw this street artist performing. And he was dancing to Kanjani 8's song so I told 琪琪 we stop and see a while. Then he finished that song and then he did self intro, he used to be from johnny's! I was shock when i heard that. He used to be a kansai junior but now he is no longer in johnny's but he is still working towards his dream acting as small small roles in dramas, appearing in magazines and doing street performance. Because of that i felt like supporting him cause he did not give up. I don't know why but i think that is 很有勇气是我没有的. So he said since it was KAT-TUN's concert so he shall perform a kat-tun song but when he perform half way there's this security guy that came out and said his music is too noisy and he can't perform there so he had to stop and shifted opposite so since we had time so we followed over to see. Then he danced to never again and real face haha then after that two songs that was the end of his performance. Then they gave out this little paper with his info. He's called "Zoom". hehe and there's his fan site there on the paper too so they gave us both 1 each and after that we went back to the hotel

When we check in we saw that they have 广岛烧 in the hotel and i saw the hotel guide the restaurant closes at 10pm so we still had time so we took our time back but when we return it already closed! then i found out they close at 9pm on weekends which was NOT on the hotel guide. but luckily the hotel had this offer about discount for 广岛烧 which was not in the hotel so it took us quite a while to finally know where the place is and went there cause of my poor japanese and that guy's poor english. the restaurant is quite far it took us about 15min or so. ya so we finally went there and eat and haha after starting to eat i found out that they were actually closing and we were the only customer left so quite paiseh loh. but the 广岛烧 is super nice! I LOVE IT! but very big so we couldn't finish. hehe. then because it was late already so we didn't get our shinkansen tickets because firstly it's far and secondly the ticket thingy close already. so we went back to hotel and rest :D

22.06.2008 雨

We woke up and check out of the hotel and prepare to go back to tokyo for my last day :( But as we were walking out of the hotel and preparing to go to the station to take the train back to the Shinkansen station, i asked if we should go take a last look at the place and of course 琪琪 also wanted to go so off we went to green arena again. But because it was still early the place was much more empty today ( Note: The first concert for the day starts at 1pm and it's only 7+am when we went there)

Here's the sign to tell people where to quene for going into the arena and of course i took a picture of it cause i was in the arena section!!

Then we went to take a look at the place selling goods. Because goods only started selling at 8am so it had not started. So i manage to take a pic of the empty goods selling area

You can compare it with the pic yesterday and know the difference. Haha. Yup so we took some pictures and i took the picture of that goods sample area which i really wanted to take yesterday but because there were staffs around so could not take properly but even though now there's no staff i still did not take properly cause i still scared scared.

Yup so after taking one last look at the place we left. Walked towards the station and saw the "baseball" stadium i tink cause i am not sure they had quite alot of people standing there waiting for something then there's this guy who came out from a taxi and they all went and ask him for signature but i don't know who he is lah haha then saw the NHK bus? not sure if it is a bus but ya saw it and saw their mascot hehe so took a pic of it cuz there's link to shounen club which kat-tun was in last time

Hehe so we went to the station which is just like a bus stop and wait for the train. Here's the station it's called Kamiya cho nishi

So we waited for the train and it came :D

Then by the time we reached the station we already missed the Shinkansen that we intended to take so we took the next one and then we walked around the station and bought quite a lot of food hehe then finally we were on our way back to tokyo with our wonderful memories of hiroshima :D

Of course we had to change train in Shin Osaka again like how we came and finally we arrived back in tokyo. When we were on the Shinkansen i was listening to Queen Of Pirates omg all the songs had soooo much memory and when i listened to the song ai no command that song is soooo suitable for my feeling then.  Haiz...

Ok so on the way back i saw the JAL office and thought of the show attention please so i took a pic of it.

And here's a pic of the nice view we get when taking Shinkansen. I think it's very interesting to see these places.

Yup so we reached tokyo and check in back to the same hotel and we got the same room haha did not take a picture of the room before cause it was too messy by the time i took a pic of it so here's a pic of the room now.

Haha very cute room right? hehe

So actually the plan for today was to go to Yokohama but firstly because it was raining and more because i really really wan to go take a look at the 100+ new photos in Jshop from the shooting of concert goods because when seeing the shots during concert they were like soooooo shuai all of them so i manage to convince 琪琪 to go 原宿 instead hehe so we borrowed umbrella from the hotel cause 2 of us sharing 1 umbrella is really very difficult so even though i had my own umbrella i still borrowed cause i wanted the transparent umbrella :D

So today for dinner we were suppose to meet her Aunt for dinner so she called her aunt and was going to meet her in 原宿. So we went to Jshop and i bought 32 photos hehe. Then we went to look for 生写真 but after a few shops we gave up so didn't get but when we went back to hotel there was lah! why didn't we see it ? :( ya so then we went to the beams which we missed that day but sadly they do not have what we want but now when i come to think of it maybe we went to the wrong store hehe sorry! So for everyday i was in tokyo i went to 原宿 haha

Yup so we decided to go to Shibuya's one to see cause it was the nearest but we met up with 琪琪 aunt and her husband first. They are very nice people! so they accompanied us to beams in Shibuya but sadly they only had the golden one the white one was out of stock but luckily her aunt followed us cause when i asked if there's any white ones they told me that no more and white one had to reserve but i did not understand the second part all i know was no more so thanks to her aunt she manage to understand that can reserve  and help us ask when will it come if we reserve. But it will only come the next day in the afternoon which means i could not get it so 琪琪 was going to get mine and send it to me when she return to macau :D So we wanted to pay for the golden one and all but in the end her aunt actually bought it for us as a gift i felt so bad lah cause it's like i just knew her not long and she got me such an expensive gift because that thing was not very cheap and she actually got both white and golden for me so i felt very bad but stil THANK YOU!

So after that was settled we went to eat dinner and it was super super super nice! I love it although now i already forgot what it was called but it's damn nice it's this set and you get try alot of different kind of food! So after dinner we sat there and talked for quite a while and some very funny things happen like when her aunt told us that now adays japan's university very easy to get in both 琪琪 and me look at each other and said that's y nakamaru could get in. haha but when her aunt heard it and told us tat good universities are still not easy to get in then we started laughing haha. then her aunt works in something like a translating company where they translate instruction manual and she told us about her life in japan. I think it's very interesting and since both of us wanted to go to japan to study, she gave us some advice cuz she did the same. Ya and her husband is a writer. But because we talking in Chinese most of the time he did not really get to talk lah but he's very nice guy also! Ya so it was about time cause we needed to go back and pack up, so we said goodbye and her aunt gave us both a can of seaweed as like 土产 ya. actually it was meant for 琪琪 only i think but in the end she gave me one lah. They are such a nice couple lah! then they offered to send me off tomorrow until the station i took the narita express actually they didnt need to but they insisted so we arrange the time to meet tomorrow. But because her aunt had some work to do so only her husband will be here to send me. then later after sending me 琪琪 and her aunt's husband will go meet her and collect the beams thingy. Because my flight is earlier mah cause of tat stupid conb test! ya. And her aunt offered to make onigiri for us for breakfast the next day :D I told you they were nice people :D so ya we said goodbye and that marked the end of my last day in tokyo. The next day is not really counted ya.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23.06.2008 晴

Ya so woke up very early and met 琪琪 uncle in the train station and he pass us both our onigiri :D then he send me to the station to take my Narita Express but because we were early so we waited quite a while and because we only had onigiri so he offered to get us a drink, see, he's soooo nice. Ya so he went off to get us drinks then finally it was time and i had to board the Narita Express. Said good bye to them and board the train. Wonder when will be the next time i see them again...

Ya so on the train i started eating the onigiri which is very nice! it's different from those you find in Singapore! Although it's small but it was very filling. :D THANK YOU! ya so on my way back felt so 沉重. Many times my tears want to drop liao i kept making myself think of other things that will not make me cry. So finally I reached Narita Airport

Then after checking in i went straight to Tsutaya cause i did not get my myojo and popolo the day before so i decided to get it in the airport! and to my surprise i actually also saw KAT-TUN corner there so i took a pic of it! :D so glad to see it before i left.

So i went back to my favourite viewing mall but it wasn't as nice that day i think i because of the floor was wet and the weather was not good you can see the grey clouds in my pic. Even the 天 feels the same as me when i leave japan

Then went to my favourite LAWSON to get Crunky! and took a pic of the Speed Racer Mini Poster outside which Jin dubbed :D

Then when saw this A380 corner in the check in hall there so i took a pic of it quite interesting lah

Ya then when i went in i got stopped lah cuz they say no liquids mah but i brought pudding in and that was counted liquid so i was like stopped and they told me i could throw it away or check it in so of cuz i go check it in lah since i still had time so scary lah then finally after checking it in and clearing custom and all i was in that place where you can walk around and shop but i did not have much time so did not get to slowly walk :( so sad. Ya then it was time to board the plane already :( so tat marks the end of my Japan trip.

my feelings about this trip

This trip to Japan is really very different from any other tours i have been. I really enjoyed myself and learnt lots of things. Going overseas alone is fun. I look forward to my next trip. I want to remember every single moment of this trip but my memories are fading and i am very afraid that i will start to forget about many things on this trip. Is there a way to keep them in my mind? haha i doubt.

这些时光都我永远也不想忘记的。 如果可以我希望可以将他们永远的留在我心里。这些时光是无可取代的。

私日本が大好き！

忘れないあの声
忘れないあの笑顔
