SCREW gig!


After hearing the news about Rui leaving SCREW at the end of the year (T_T), we decided to go for as many SCREW gigs as we can. 

Now, we already have tickets for 07/12/2014 but since they were a lottery ticket, they arent allowed to print them off until 2 weeks - so we wont know what numbers we will get T_T but we know we have "A" tickets.

We also decided to go for the 30/11/2014 gig and since these were general sale, we were able to get them shipped to us and we got b1 and b2 again! (We got that last year so it was easy for us to get into the gig when they were doing the 'rollcall')

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 8/9 - Event lives

This won't be much of a report as I dont have many pictures - just of my outfits and stuff :D

I got to go to 2 event lives in Japan, 2 days in a row - I wanted to see Ikuma (ex AND vo.) and on Day 8 I got to see him and his session band. We saw like 8 other groups before him. The live lasted HOURS. I dont think I'd go to another event live unless there is a band I REALLY wanna see :| because tbh we got so bored and the crowd there was less forgiving than the screw crowd. Hahah they REALLY hated forigners - but why blame them, the worst gaijin fans are in AND's fandom. So, I just let it happen for 3 songs because it was worth it. Ikuma was very energetic and very cute.

The second event live I wasnt feeling too good so we left after the 2 band, knowing Kajikuma would be on last and we'd have to wait AGES for him. So we went to get something to eat and shopped a bit more in shibuya 109. Plus we also experienced the trainlines in rush hour. Not something we want to experience again haha

So a few pictures of puri and gets!


The kazuki shirt and gets! Cocolulu purse and XOXO jumper from 109 and cheki and cds. Plus a cute little backpack from a stall around shibuya!!!

Day 2 - Tokyo - Shibuya/Harajuku

So, we slept for about 14 hours the night before due to being exhausted but we were both ready for the day and excited to travel around and see Tokyo for the first time! And what better place to start than; Shibuya! (*´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥﹏°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ )人(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)

We were both excited as this was our first proper day in Tokyo! So i had to get ready (*^▽^*)


This was my outfit for the day! A bit more colourful than I'm used to haha but I wanted to look a bit amekaji! (・∀・) 


The trains were really easy to navigate and thats what I was worried about, but we got something called a SUICA card. I recommend this as its really handed! If you get JR Narita express ticket to and from the airport (they stop at the major cities, shibuya, shinjuku, ikebukuro etc) its about 5000 yen for the ticket and 2000 yen on your SUICA - They work like underground oyster cards - you just top up at a machine (in english) and just set off! You can also use the card in stores and vending machines (*¬*) I used it alot for vending machines!


Shibuya 109! I was so happy to finally in this building! Its every womans heaven, and I know Im a little on the large side in Japan (size uk 14/16 and boobs bigger than most japanese peoples heads...) I thought I wouldnt be able to find any clothes that would fit me tbh! I was pleasently surprised! I ended up with quite a few items of clothing from there (GLAD NEWS/XOXO) and accessories from CocoLuLu and GLAVIL - Pictures of those when I get them on those days hahah But this day I bought a cocolulu bag I'd had my eye on for ages online and a GLAVIL necklace! Japanese people are so good at selling things - even to forigners omg. I said to my gf "Aww i might be too big for this clothes" and one GLAVIL girl went "no no no! You are fine,  see baggy!" and pointed to one of the jumpers hahah (´∀`) trying to tempt me to buyyyyy ~ it nearly always worked though! so be careful haha


Tsutaya records had a BIG AKB48 display omg. Their MV collection DVD was out and they were doing promotions - seriously, AKB was heard /everywhere/ (°∀°)b and i LOVED it 


Tokyo Disney Store! Now, I've been to a few disney stores in the UK but jfc they go all out for their designs in japan! They even had a spiral staircase going up to castle rooms and had lots of disney goodies! I think I ended up getting my mum some disney earrings from here! 


And yes, that is billboard of Kojima Haruna (AKB) in her underwear (⊙ヮ⊙)


And a few picutres from Harajuku! We didnt get a crepe that day, the line was reallly long haha BUT we did find the marvel that is DAISO - its like a Japanese version of Poundland and has ...everything. XD Everything random and everything is 105yen. So I got some make up and its brilliant! We also found Closet Child (with a little bit of difficulty cause the VK shop is down a corner somewhere) and went into BODYLINE. We also found a KPOP store! Thats where most presents came from, and I found an AKB48 photo store (not official obvs but I bought a few pictures and they had unofficial merch and stuff =w= i was in heaven)



My gets for the day! :D i love my BOY cap (▰˘◡˘▰)

Next up; Akihabara/Kamakura
