Because the school couldn't get me a student visa, I have to return to Hong Kong for the New Year's. Kinda sad because there are so many great concerts on that day.. Will be leaving on the 31st and come back on January 3rd. Won't plan to bring my laptop so won't be online during these days.
December 3rd:
- Gundam tree lit up.
- The seiyuu who did the main character of the original Gundam series showed up to light the tree up.
- Went to McDonald's for the first time this trip. Ate the apple pie and it tasted really good~ It wasn't as sweet but still delious. The other stuff also tasted better than the ones in NY XD
December 4th:
- Went to Tokyo Dome and stayed outside throughout the entire concert.
- Unexpectly bought a poster of Nino because he looks hot on there XD
- Up the stairs of the dome, you can see the inside through the involving doors. When the security guards went through the door, everyone was flailing XD But then, the guards kicked us out :/ I saw lots of fans going down from another staircase. Showed how many fans who aren't able to attend the concert.
- Then, went around the dome to see where is a good place to be able to hear the concert. Found an entrance that you can hear it clearly. There were some fans around.
- There were black curtains covering the stage. When latecomers went inside, fans outside shouted at them to open the curtains wider.
- But later on, the guards put black sheets on the revolving door and window glasses.. It's not like we can see the entire stage anyway... :/
- Stood next to a pair of girls who wore everything in one color! One in all yellow and another in all green. Jackets, pants, and their shoe laces were in one color. The members' names were sew on the clothes. Even their cell phones match.. They each also carry a suitcase. Before they leave, they put their uchiwa in the front pocket of their suitcases, leaving the faces visible for everyone to see. They also put a stuffed animal at the front along with the uchiwa, a green frog and a golden fur teddy bear. The girls were so cool~
- During Carnival Night, the fans around me danced a bit to the song.
- During the MC, it was a bit hard to hear them so the people around me chatted with each other. The MC was long, about 20 minutes I overheard.
- During two thirds into the concert, the guards finally changed the fence to a few steps ahead so we can hear better. It was more comfortable because I was able to lean on it and rest my eyes. Kinda wished that they would do it earlier so that I can relax more, but I guessed they didn't expect that we would stay for the whole thing?
- The concert was long because there were three encores. I was getting ready to leave after the second one and was surprised when the third one began.
- It was an interesting experience, watching the fans around me.
December 5th:
- Went Mandarake hopping with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kimitsu_yk to search for the concert goods that she wanted.
- The store at Mandarake in Nakano.. There was a JE store where they sale concert goods and other stuff. Was amazed that they also sell advertisement posters and cardboards that you see outside. Saw a big Arashi AU board stand that you usually see at the AU stores.
- Ate at some fast food place. The toilet there was a bit scary.. Once you go inside, the lid of the toilet automatically opens up.. When you leave, it closes back down. Made me think that the place was haunted.
- It was raining and the concert already started so ended up not going.
December 6th:
- JLPT, which I failed XD
- Lost all my fatigue from the Gundum tree event and the concert (it was cold that day..) so decided not to go to the dome for their last performance there.
- My classmate told me that there were many fans standing outside holding out their uchiwa, even though the members can't see them. Arashi fans are amazing.
December 8th:
- Went to karaoke with three other dormmates.
- That karaoke room had a little stage with a mic stand and small drums..
- Felt kinda weird standing on the stage..
December 12th:
- Went to a butler cafe with xilentdeath.
- Interesting experience. Been wanted to go there for a long time.
- We had to open the door and ring the bell in order to be greeted by the butlers.
- Ordered a plate of sweets, tea, and a type of service.
- They played anime instrumentals and xilentdeath tried to identified them.
- She asked the butler which anime this piece is from for one of the instrumentals.
- When time was almost up, one butler asked us where we came from while clearing the table. He was surprised at our answer. Then, he talked about cosplaying there and stuff. And showed us a magazine where the butlers here appeared in.
- After paying, he gave us each an omiyage according to the type of service we requested, which was a flower pedal and a candle.
- He sent us off until we closed the elevator.
- Aferwards, went to karaoke near where my dorm was.
- Sang songs that I don't usually sing, like the b-sides from Yamapi's latest single.
December 18:
- Earthquake. First experience. Woke me up. But it was over a few seconds later. Waited for a while in case something will happen before going back to sleep. My classmate slept throught the whole thing. Aw, lol.
- BREAKERZ concert ♥
December 19:
- Kis-My-Ft2 concert.
- Can't recognize all the members in an instant so can't do a proper report.
- Each member sang a solo with the rest as backdancers.
- One scene that sticks out was when Miyata sang Koi no ABO in otaku outfit XD Wore a pink T-shirt that has the kanji "miya" on it, and carried a backpack. He did the otaku dance *_* The same dance Ohmiya did in G no Arashi. As a natural habit, I danced along XD
- Then, Miyata had the members play the sumo battle, using a roller ramp as a stage. One member, Yokoo (?) won a few times in a row. When a different memeber came up, he picked him up (he wrapped his leg around him XD) and carried him out of the ramp XD Forgot what else he did to the other member..
- During the MC, they mentioned that some people in the audience danced along with Miyata. Yep, I was one of them XD
- They went around the second floor twice during each song. Made me think of Yamapi's concert at that time.
- During another song, something about the rain, they waved their arm to the music. We followed them. They complimented us that we were good, lol.
- Met an hardcord Kismai fan who came from Thai. She sat next to me. She went to every one of their shows except for the ones on the next day. After this show, she went to the one afterwards! Because of her visa, she had to leave on the 1st. But right before she leaves for the airport, she's going to see Takki's play, since the group will be there too. So cool~
- She made an uchiwa that said she's from Thai and a Kitayama fan. Kitayama went to our area with a ball ready. He saw her uchiwa and threw the ball in our direction. Unfortunately, the ball landed two rows earlier... So close... At least, he noticed her.. I really thought that he meant to throw it at her..
December 24th:
- Went to karaoke with a classmate, who was also a Nino fan~ We celebrated Aiba's birthday XD
- My classmate was so amazing~ She was able to do the whole La Tormenda *_*
- I was still a bit sick wasn't able sing as loud.
- Sang mostly Arashi and Kanjani8 songs. Appearantly, she also likes Kanjani8~
December 25th:
- Karaoke again~! This time, with xilentdeath~
- She bought cake!! Maximum umai~!
- Sang some BREAKERZ songs because I was still at the hype from the concert.
- Then, we got free coupons and coins to play at the arcade (we were at Round1). Free coupons to play the ufo catcher. We can play one that had little stuffed animal keychains The staff was so nice to let people get easy wins! When out turn came, he asked us which one we wanted and set it up. I ended up getting three of them (including the one xilentdeath wanted)!
