Photos from Tokyo, May 2012

I know I've blogged about my trip to Tokyo early this month when I was there and posted some pictures, but I've now uploaded all of them into a public album on photobucket if anyone would like to see them, haha. If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask :)

On another note, I love Japanese TV. It's hilarious, and they air a lot of things that just wouldn't fly anywhere else. A friend sent me a link last night to an episode of Arashi no Shukudai-kun (download it here http://dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com/46838.html), which is of course a variety show hosted by Japanese boy-band, Arashi, which I was never a huge fan of, for no reason in particular, but I don't mind seeing them on TV. Anyways, the reason she sent me the link was because she remembered their special guest that episode was Daigo Naito of BREAKERZ. In short, he's a rock star, who happens to share my last name, and whose grandpa was once the prime minister of Japan. Also, he's smokin' hot. So, if I just go ahead and marry him, we don't have to deal with the name changie thing. LOL. Anyways, the show is just some funny Japanese nonsense hosted by Arashi and Daigo, and it`s making me want to watch some more recent shows that Arashi has, so I'll check out www.dramacrazy.net because I think I saw some links to one lately.

Speaking of Arashi, I just started watching Masaki Aiba's new drama, Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri. Aiba plays a young detective with the police who unfortunately is afraid of blood and talking to women. He also takes home a stray calico who turns into Matsuko Deluxe and helps him solve his crimes. If you don't know who Matsuko Deluxe is, check out gakifiles.blogspot.ca, and watch some of Downtown's batsu games, more specifically the most recent Airport one. It's hilarious, especially if you're doS like me LOL.

I Guess That's All, Folks

Well, today's our last night in Tokyo, so sad. I have to say, we've had some good times. From rain at Tokyo Disney Sea, to the unbearable crowds in Shibuya, it was all exciting.

By the way, I found my watch. For some reason it was INSIDE the duvet cover, what the heck.

Last night we all met up with a friend of ours who lives in Yokohama! It was a blast, and we started the night off with karaoke at a place nearby. For 3 hours LOL, could have even done more.

After that, our friend Hisako had to charge her phone, so we made an unplanned trip to the local Bic Camera, where she bought a charger with a battery pack, that could immediately charge her phone, then she could take it home and recharge it in case she needed it again! So cool!

Now, Bic Camera is a huge electronics department store. It's like...London Drugs on crack maybe. But they also sell booze, apparently. Cindy and I went upstairs, and were convinced to sample a wine, haha. Then another wine. Then another wine. And by the end we probably had a glass each, holy. Of course we had to buy a bottle. I can't believe we got suckered into buying a bottle of sparkling wine in Bic Camera of all places.

After Bic, we made our way to Beersaurus, a bar I had been eyeing since I was like 16. Now 21, I'm actually allowed to go in lol! It's actually a pretty fancy pants place.

We just had a few drinks and some fancy pants food, and after Hisako had to leave for the night. It was nice seeing her again, after I met her about 2 or 3 years ago.

Today, we decided to go to Harajuku one last time, even though it was hot and sunny, and really really crowded. I filled my boots at the idol shops. I'm going to really miss Tokyo, and I hope I can come again in 2 years.
