[picture spam] Keikarou × Arashi Anniversary
Happy Arashi CD Debut Anniversary!!!!
Today satsumatsu and I decided the last time we were at 桂花楼 that we would return after the Mannequin Five episode aired, so we thought the anniversary would be a great chance!
It was pretty crowded today because of the anniversary and they were also selling a special omiyage set from today as well.
I brought Nino Duffy and my fan girl Shellie May with us to join in our Keikarou Anniversary Party.
We got there a little after 8 and we were the 5th party in line.
At around 10 there were two men who came out and were preparing samples that they later passes around of the okara-cha (tea) and okara age snacks. Keikarou always has Salted Caramel as their regular flavor and then they have a new okara snack flavor, Corn Potage, that went on sale today. It's the fall/ winter flavor. (Summer flavor was Ume)
Before they came, I really had to use the bathroom so I went inside, nodded at Masaki Mama who was busy prepping with the staff, and did what I had to do. She was so serious. But I think one of the men is related to her. The language they were using was casual compared to how she spoke to her staff and the other man.
They were handing out tickets to buy the okara omiyage sets. It was a refreshing thing to not have a limit to how many we could buy.
After our samples of okara-cha and okara-age snack, the restaurant opened and we got in.
I love the Ojo image! It's so cute!!
So today we decided to go against the usual lunch set and get 相葉ちゃんの大好物.
We ordered:
Harumaki
Karaage
MaboDofu
and 清美の大好物, Age Goma Dango♡
It was a little too much food for us(^_^;)
We had thirds of each dish and were totally stuffed. But whenever I go to Keikarou, I HAVE TO eat Goma Dango with my Jasmine tea.
We finished in about an hour and went to talk to Masaki Mama pay our bill and buy our Omiyage.
She saw me and said, 「おっ！久しぶり‼」*internal kyas for her remembering me each time*
She remembered that I showed her the Mannequin Five outfit pix last time we were there, so we talked about how Aiba-chan ended up being Mannequin #5.
Our conversation was really quick today because there was a lot going on and she was busy.
I gave her a present from my Alaskan friend, A-chan, bought our omiyage and then S-chan and I tried our best to beat the food coma on the ride home.
I got home, took a picture of my omiyage and then passed out.
Luckily, I woke up at 6:53 pm just in time to watch VSA and eat my omiyage!
Time for秘密のケンミンSHOW and 揚げゴマだんご‼
EDIT!!!!
At the end of HnA, they played 34 seconds of エナジーソング～絶好調超!!!!～
It wasn't them rapping... they were singing!!! I am excited for the song!!!!
あげぽよ〜！
