Girugamesh - Saitama


After Girugamesh in London, they announced a tour in Japan which happened to be the same time as I was in Tokyo. We applied for tickets through the lottery and we won them!! Im dragging my girlfriend and my best friend ^__^ (who are wonderful for letting me drag them along). We will be seeing them on 29/11/2014 in Saitama! I cant wait! And I've preordered their new mini album! After years of following them around Europe when they've been here, I can finally see them in Japan!!!

Day 10 - Ueno Zoo

Today we wanted to head to Ueno Park! There have a big zoo there with exotic animals and pandas! We were so excited to go to the zoo! I love seeing animals and the weather was /lovely/

We spent most of the day there and headed off for a small bit of shopping at night! I think we headed to harajuku!


I wore my kazuki shirt with my new accesories and backpack /o/ (and i had my bare legs out omg thats how hot it was :|)


The entrace to the zoo! So without fuirther ado, pictures from the zoo!!!!



My baby loves pandas <3


Mind you, so do I :3









After the zoo we went for a walk around ueno and found a few small temples! They were so cute and hidden. We've found out that Ueno park is full of temples! So next time we're going to make time to go to them!







Everything in Ueno was panda themed!!!



After the park we went to Shibuya again for 109 mens! In our screw gear haha It was quite funny. We went into Civerize and got laughed at by the staff who saw us looking at a Byou poster. They pointed to the signed one and we showed him our screw gear XD Ha what language barrier :D

Next ; Amano Tsuki gig

Day 5 - Tokyo Game Show

When I found out I was in Japan for Tokyo Game Show, I was over the moon! \(*T▽T*)/ next to E3 its been a dream to go there


I bought a ticket for myself and my gf, since she doesnt like games, I thought it was fair for me to pay for her since I was dragging her! I was mostly interested in any news from my favourite game, Metal Gear Solid - nothing was updated until the day before TGS where Kojima tweeted that he was going to do 2 talks when he was there - the business day and the public days. Luckily he mentioned the booth and the times! ヾ(。◕ฺ∀◕ฺ)ノ seeing hideo kojima in Japan seemed totally surreal

So, lets have some pictures shall we?


Outfit shot! Cocolulu bag with metal gear leggings and thermal top! I was all fandom-ed out!


There were /many/ people there! 


My ticket! I had to give it up when I got to the door though (┳◇┳)


The PS4 booth. I want a PS4 so bad but Im poor saving up for Japan #2  (。┰ω┰。)





And the main man himself!

( ˘ ³˘)♥ HIDEO KOJIMA ( ˘ ³˘)♥

He did a half an hour presentation of the new metal gear, including a new trailer and 15 minutes gameplay! It was awesome to see it first hand, even though it was in japanese and he made some jokes...in japanese. XD My feet were killing me but it was /so/ worth it. After the presentation, we were hungry but it was so busy and so crowded that I was getting a bit anxious, so we decided to head out to harajuku - on a saturday - to see what it was like! And it was crowded!


We finally got a crepe! They are so delicious 。♥‿♥。)


More gets from book off, animate, tgs and a vending machine hee hee >w<


We found a 24 hour bento place! 500 yen for a chicken katsu curry bento and 100 from a rice ball :D More gets from animate hahah

Next day ; Day 7 - ScReW gig (we didnt do /anything/ on day 6 apart from laundry and hanging around ikebukuro!)





Day 4 - Tokyo Disney

I'd never been to disney when i visited Tokyo. Id been near Disneyland Paris with my hotel for SMTown but that was it!! So, to say I was excited was an understatement, omg. I was jumping up and down on the train ride there. Its only a 40 minute train ride to the location of Disney, and when you see it, oh my, it took my breath away. I felt like a giant kid, but I didnt care. The rides were amazing, and we managed to see the parade!

So without further ado; Pictures! =^● ⋏ ●^=



Quick outfit shot for the day!


The entrance to Tokyo Disneyland (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑







Waiting for the halloween parade! (~˘▾˘)~



Gets for the day! (ノ≧∀≦)ノ
(i overestimated the size of...myself and got a really big shirt. next time im gonna get a smaller one!)

It was such a good day! The staff at the food places were friendly and the food was so cheap! I mean about 500 yen for a drink, fries and a pizza! :D and the merch was cheap too! 1200 yen for a shirt! :D

Next Day ;  Tokyo Game Show

Day 3 - Tokyo - Akihabara/Kamakura/Yokohama

Today was the day I was going to go to the home land of AKB48! Ive been looking forward to this for a long time as AKB48 have been a big part of my life recently ~ the girls are just too cute to ignore (≧∇≦)/


My outfit for the day! 



(FYI thats a REALLY big sex shop!)



A few images of me and AKB related things
*(*´∀`*)☆ i didnt go into the cafe ~ next time!


We went from the busy electric town to the temple ridden Kamakura! The gf wanted to see the buddha! So we did!

 

 

It was a beautiful place! It was so surreal to be there and to surrounded by such nature, such...culture! The weather was beautiful and the scenery was breathtaking ~


And we found a cute hidden shrine/temple!


(((*°▽°*)八(*°▽°*)))♪ bonus picture
cute couple! ~~~


We decided since we had some time! We travelled to Yokohama to go to the Pokemon Centre ~ a dream place!



After searching for an hour, we found it! It was lovely and everything I thought it would be <3 I bought so much cute stuff!

 

We also found a cute resturant chain called 270, where, you guessed it, everything was 270 yen! It was all automated, and touch screen. You ordered and the waiter/waitress brought it to you and that was it! Though we kept getting some peas to our table but they were a minimum order haha trying to figure out why we kept getting the peas every time we sat down ~


Gets for the day! ( ・ω・)ノ

Next up; Tokyo Disney
