London 06/07 - 09/07 - BABYMETAL

Me and my partner went to London for a long weekend/engagement anniversary and we had so much fun \o.o/ And as I mentioned in the previous entry, we were in london for Babymetal! /o/

A few images from when we arrived etc ^_^ We spent a few days shopping/sight seeing.. It was so nice to have a few days off and BABYMETAL were amazing. They were so lively and put on a really good show! i also got to meet up with my akb48 friend for the first time and at the end of the gig we were chatting in mcdonalds for ages until she had to get her train ^_^ I bought a tshirt cause they were so cute!!

And here is a few images from the gig! ^____^

Isnt the t-shirt cute? =w=

Hello!

Hello there, I sadly remembered I had this blog and that I have quite a lot of things to post, so Im going to make a series of entries that catches you up on everything! o3o

BABYMETAL DEATH

Hello! I havent managed to update for a while, so I thought I'd write about something that Im looking forward to!

I am going to see BABYMETAL in July!!! They annouced world tour dates and they are in London when me and my partner are there for our engagement anniversary! So I begged my partner and she said she would go with me! Im quite excited! And im meeting up with a girl who i met through to AKB48 fandom! 

I just need to figure out what to wear!

Live Report - Kyary Pamyu Pamyu 。(⌒∇⌒。)

I have just got back from travelling to London to see Kyary Pamyu Pamyu! It was only a one night stay in London and a 4 and a half bus journey each way but it was worth it !!!!

Thats my girlfriend waiting with all our stuff at Manchester bus station! I dont know why I shared these hahaha I dont even think her eyes are open in that one!

We were worried as we were going into London on the day of the tube strikes, so the traffic would be /horrible/. When we got to Watford Gap, the coach driver came upstairs and told us that the driver who was supposed to take over from him was stuck in london because of the bad traffic - and had been stuck there since about 12. (；￣Д￣）

So as we pulled into London I was worried, we only had a little time to check in and with the tube strike it would take us a while to get to the hostel and then to the gig! But as we got into London the streets were quite clear!!!! （°o°；）

It seemed like we missed the heavy traffic thank god! We even arrived into London early! So we headed off to the underground and had a bit of trouble with the amount of people but made it to our hostel in one piece! They even left us little after eight mints on our pillows! It was such a cute greeting Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

I proceeded to get ready and this was my outfit above! I was meant to wear creame tights with it, but I had gotten the wrong size, I had picked up an L for shorter people! So I couldnt even put them up ;__; so i luckily had my glavil necklace and black leggings to make it more pastel goth than pastel cutie!

We finally made it to the queue no thanks to the underground! We arrived 15 minutes before the doors opened and got confused as there happened to be 2 lines, one for standing and one for the seating - however this line made a big circle :| so we didnt know where it ended. Luckily we managed to figure it out and get the two queues separated but it was so confusing! We met 3 girls in the queue who were behind us and got talking to them /o/ /Its always nice to make friends! Before the gig I also got to speak to one of my friends and have a mini catch up - also got talking to a cute gal who spotted my glavil necklace - we then proceeded to speak about the staff at shibuya 109 and how convincing they were at getting you to buy stuff XD

Once I was in the  building I made my way to the merch booth which was right by the door and then made my way to level 2. I sat 4 rows back in the corner and had quite a good view! I ended up sat next to someone who was also on their own and got to dance with them at times :D it was fun! I was so nervous waiting for Kyary to come out, seriously, my heart was beating so fast and my stomach was turning so badly!

＼（＠￣∇￣＠）／ AND HERE IT KYARYYYYYYY

She is SO cute in real life! Her voice is adorable and her dancing skills and her dancers are so....on point! Seriously, they were brilliant and so in-sync. You can tell they practiced hard! She played all my favourites! PON PON PON, Invader Invader, Yume no hajima ring ring, Candy Candy, Fashion Monster, Super Scooter, Mi, Kura Kura! The list goes on hahaha! I was also stood in front of this cute couple who just got up and danced (ok it was a bit of dad dance, but jfc it was brilliant!). I was happy I got to do the Fashion Monster dance!

My girlfriend met me outside of the gig hall and brought me a cup of tea ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ Best girlfriend ever! I also bought a poster and a lanyard from the "bootleg men" and made my way to the tube station

...

...

...

To find out the tubes had stopped running. So we quickly headed to Shepards Bush train station, where we got the over ground to another stop. The trains were still running acordding to the board - but when the timer to the next train went down and it was due in - the train just drove on saying "not in service". I was so annoyed. 

I rang my friend who was lovely and found us a bus to get! Just as we left the tube station our bus pulled in and we got off at our stop. We quickly had a burger king (as we hadn't anything to eat since our coach trip due to tube lines making our journey longer T___T) 

But it didnt ruin the concert and I was so happy I went! 

My haul!

Hopefully I can see her again if she comes back! Or hopefully she will be touring in Japan in November!

Japan Trip 2014! - Lives - ScReW

On 20/04/2014, jrock band SCREW had their 8th Anniversary lives and they annouced a new album in august and a new tour! Last year we were lucky enough to attend their tour final so we were hoping we would be lucky enough to see them again! 

I follow their staff twitter and the tour final date was annouced as 28/12 so we werent that lucky, but as I checked the OHP I saw a list of dates for their nationwide tour and then they have a month where they do lives in JUST Shibuya. (tbh I dont know why....but im not questioning it)

At least, my trip is starting to make shape!

Another Taobao review!

I was going to make a review when all my packages arrived, but I shipped one with SAL and that is going to take ages to get here. So, I got 2 packages the other day and thought I'd share them!

I used taobaoring again and I was very impressed with their service!

09/04/2014 - Ordered the items

11/04/2014 - Items arrived at agents office

12/04/2014 - Items shipped with Airmail

22/04/2014 - Items delivered to my house /o/

Post and Packaging - 5/5

Again I was really impressed with the speed of the shipping. I expected there to be a delay with the post on my side, obviously not being Taobao's fault - and the custom forms were filled out a little lower. In my country, customs will try and get you any way that they can tbh....

Anyway, I got delivered 2 large boxes and the outer was packed really well! No chance of being damaged too much in transit! The insides were packed really well and once again, cant complain with how it was packed and delivered!

Product 4/5

Lets started with the items shall we!

Item 

I didn't realise this was actually a demin jacket when I saw it online, I thought it was more of a shirt, but its an actual Jacket! It fits quite well, though with me being taller than the model (im 5ft 10") its on the short side for me, but I still love it. The patches give it kind of a grunge/kawaii look! And yes, it says "mikey" instead of mickey. I actually didn't notice that at first, my girlfriend pointed it out.

(I dont have a link for this sorry, when i load up the item, it shows a different sweater!)

This is what made the score go down, due to the sizing. The bust was supposed to be 105 cm - which would be baggy on me - but its quite tight. And again, due to my height, its short on me. I might have to file this under  "things i can wear once i loose a small bit of weight"

Item

Now these beauties are a dream purchase! Ive always wanted winged sneakers and I finally found them on Taobao and they are so cute! This was the first time buying shoes from the internet, especially having to sort out the size conversion. I got a 41 (which is a 6.5 in my country) and I was so happy they fit! They are comfortable and look so cute on ( i will get some pictures when i can!) I wore them to work on dress down friday and got some compliments on them! 

Service 5/5

Once again, I am satisfied with the service I recieved from Taobao! Quick shipping, fast processing and they work 6 days a week so they are always there if you need them!
