So Day 6 was just a lazy day. We stayed in Ikebukuro and did some washing - our hotel had a washinng service so, we just had a wander of ikebukuro, did some washing and relaxed because we were excited for the next day!
Day 7 - Ebisu - Liquidroom!
We found out that we were going to be in Japan for Screws tour final whilst sat in a japanese restaurant and we went a little mad. I think I started shaking. Not only was it Screw, but it was a tour final AND it was in the Liquidroom gig hall! I've always wanted to go to a live there! So when we got tickets (using a shopping service ofc) we were so happy! All we had to do was wait! And on the day, we were so excited - it was our first concert in Japan. And we found out that if we bought a cd at the merchandise stall, we would get a ticket for a handshake event. Which ofc, we wanted so bad haha
This was my outfit! Kazuki is a big mickey/minnie fan hahaha so this top was perfect! I also worked on my hair and make up a little bit haha
We also headed for the purikura booth!
There are loads of purikura boots in ikebukuro, so we went to find them! We used them nearly everyday after that haha.
There arent any more pictures for this day because I didnt take my camera - I didnt know the rules for Japanese gigs - So we heeaded to ebisu and got lost haha. We took a wrong turning and had to ask some police officers, who by the way, in Japan, are SO helpful even if you dont speak japanese. So they pointed us in the right direction.
We got there 2 hours before the gig, cause thats when the merch went on sale! We were 2nd in line hahaha not bad for a gaijin XD We headed for the cds first and when we got them i didnt see a ticket, so i was like "ERM HANDSHAKE TICKET?" which was hilarious because it took her ages to understand me. But we got them! And then we bought the other merch stuff, braclet, Tshirt, cheki etc :3 I got a kazuki shirt! Its so big and comfortable - Im wearing it the next day, so look at that entry for the shirt! :3
We went to McDonalds after that for something to eat and then we went back and spoke to some lovely german girls who helped us understand the system. We had a bit of trouble when they called the numbers out, but we figured it out hahah :| We had B1 and B2, which means the first 2 tickets after the A numbers (fanclub etc) had gone in. We got such a good spot. In the middle :D
We were so nervous, and it was SO weird. I mean, I've been to loads of gigs in europe but the ones in japan, are, dare I say it, so much better. So much more laid back and more organized! At the end of the gig they played their new PV and a surprise annoucement! For their anniversary live and something happening in December, but we still dont know what yet!

The set list was awesome! The gig was amazing! And I loved every minute of it. When we all had to hold hands, a Japanese girl quickly grabbed my hands and we did the furi thing right and we did everything. It was so energetic and fun BUT NO ONE PUSHED WHATSOEVER. Like in europe, stupid people always want to get near the front THIS NEVER HAPPENED.
So the gig was /perfect/.
After the live we were so confused where to go for the handshake event but luckily the two lovely german girls helped us again! We waited ageeeees but it was worth it. My girlfriend went first since she loves them a liiiittle bit more than me haha and she wanted to meet Byou first hahah XD
Jin - I got to him and did not know what to say. I was so, in awe. We shook hands and it was awkward. So I said aaa gomen nasai, laughing nervously and he just laughed.
Manabu - I got to him and he shook my hand and instantly said "hello, thank you, I love you" He looked at my shirt and pointed "minnie" (scroll back up, I did not have a minnie mouse top on xD). I was about to leave Manabu and meet Byou, but he was in a handshake lock with my girlfriend and was energetic with her and would. not. let. her. go. Im just stood there holding manabu's hand looking all awkard cause I wanted to move on to Byou haha :|
Byou- So after he finally let go of my girlfriend haha XD I got to byou who was SO ...happy! I gained the courage to actually say something, so I told him I came from england and he was AHHHHH :DDDDDDD skhflksfhs
Rui - Bloody hell, he grabbed both of my hands and started shaking them. I told him the same thing and he said "OOOOH COOL!" sdifhsdkf
Kazuki - ...this was the bit I was most nervous for haha. I got to him and he spoke english "Hello! Thank you!" and I told him I came from England and he gave me thumbs up and fusdhfksdhf yea, he pointed to my mickey shirt, like MICKEY and tugged on his own (he was wearing his rock mickey shirt).
So yea, that was one of the best things ever. Seriously. They were perfect live. They were sweet in person. I hope I get a chance to see them again in Japan later on this year. :D We are in Japan for the first half of December, so fingers crossed!
Next ; My first event live!
