Johnny's Harajuku

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 09:36:07 GMT

The line for Johnny's was stupid ridiculous and it hadn't even opened yet!!!! LOL This was on a Tuesday morning before 9am.

I got some good pics but I could only find one nice one of Kame :( And the Johnny's bag is white now! No more yellow! I think I saw somewhere it has only changed REALLY recently! YAY

I found some of the concert pics (バズリ NIGHT hahahaha) at the other shops in Harajuku. Found some good ones of the boys dressed up for T.A.B.O.O. Sho's birthday way back when! <3

Yokohama & 嵐 attempt 2

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 09:20:31 GMT

Went and visited Yokohama today... all I could hear in my head was Matsujun in Japonism in Arena concert going "Yokohama?" haha Was a lovely day!

Yokohama:

Attempt 2 of trying to get a ticket went as bad as attempt 1. No ticket and still Tokyo Dome remains annoyingly soundproofed. Definitely heard Happiness and Come Back this time but I could also hear the band intros. I could distinctly hear Nino's "いらっしゃいませ x2", Oh-chan's "Hi x3" and Sho's "How you feeling Tokyo?". Matsujun and Aiba not so much. :( I think I'll check out more avenues and try again next year.

My failed sign for a ticket:

No 嵐 today - Football

Went and saw the Urawa Reds v Yokohama today. Was hoping to get back in time to try for concert tickets again but was invited for a home cooked meal instead and couldn't say no. :( But I did get to watch 嵐にしやがれ which was cool.

Concert night 1 - Total bust

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 09:00:30 GMT

Well... I wandered around, bought merchandise and try to identify and ticket scalpers. No luck there. :(

Saw a whole bunch of people with signs in Japanese asking for tickets... I might do that on Sunday night.

Sat outside Tokyo Dome when the concert started and could hear the crowd REALLY well. Arashi... not so much. I swear there is about a foot of concrete at Tokyo Dome and it's really well sound-proofed.

I could make out Happiness and bits and pieces of other songs (I think I heard Come Back but can't be too sure). After about 45 minutes though I was too cold to stay so I went back to the hotel and watched Japanism concert and drank Kirin with my merchandise instead (wallowing!)

Buy ALL THE THINGS

I have an addiction to buying Arashi goods in Japan. I swear I bring an empty suitcase just so I can buy Arashi DVD's (and Assassination Classroom of course).

Fullmetal Alchemist

I was a tad disappointed! I had built it up that it was going to be awesome but it was a bit choppy and ...meh.

Yamada was delightful though. He should always be smiling! :D

It was nice to have nearly the entire cinema to myself (all but one lady who I'm sure was only there to make sure I wasn't filming the movie). The benefits of wanting to see an English subbed Japanese movie in Japan at 10am on a Monday! lol

Off to see 嵐

Nearly time to fly to Japan.

Hoping I can wrangle some tickets!

JFF 忍びの国 part 2

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 08:25:32 GMT

Arggg!!! Totally missed the beginning because my friends and I were too busy stuffing our faces with Ramen.

It's still an awesome movie! :) I made sure I looked out for the guy camouflaged by the tree this time and it turns out he's really easy to see.

My friend likes Chinen more then Riida! The horror! :O

The girl in front of us was recording the end credits with つなぐ‼ hahahahahaha

JFF 忍びの国

Opening night of Riida's movie at JFF tonight. It was awesome and definitely worth watching in the cinema.

So many Arashi fans there! Lots of them were taking photos with the movie posters. :)

Which I would have done except I had already taken so many when I was in Japan! :D

Going to see it again on Saturday night! YAY!!!!
