My Last Night In Japan = Happy birthday, Tacchon!
Tonight is my last night in Japan and we just arrived at Tokyo from Osaka earlier.
We rode the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo, and though I wanted to see Mt. Fuji closer
I saw its top view when we rode the plane from Sendai to Osaka last Friday, I FELL asleep. dead meat
At last, our strict supervisor allowed us to go out of the hotel.
So at around 9PM, I, by myself, went to Daiba Station and rode the Yurikamome line to Shimbashi.
The ticket fare cost 310Yen.
Upon arriving at Shimbashi station, I transferred to JR Yamanote line to Harajuku and paid 190yen.
Arriving at Harajuku station, I crossed the pedestrian lane and asked a Family Mart employee about the location of Takeshita Dori.
I didn't know that the street where I was standing is already Takeshita Dori!! I then thanked the lady and walked down the street.
This AKB48 shop welcomed me. I walked again but sadly, the shops were already CLOSED. T.T
I walked again in hopes that the paparazzi pictures shops are still open.
Yeah, I went to Harajuku to buy some papapics of my dear bias Morimoto Ryutaro.
SADLY, they were already closed.
It was around 10:30PM when I saw this establishment.
I went inside and saw PARADISE. As in literally paradise.
You could see those official concert goods: countless uchiwa, shirts, pamphlets, shop pictures and such.
I wanted to buy all and I literally brought thousands of yen, but the lady there said that those are only for DISPLAY and that they don't sell the stuffs.
I was about to cry, yeah, cry because I saw Morimoto Ryutaro my bias' uchiwa way back in 2009.
I asked the lady once more if I could buy the uchiwa, only that stuff.
She apologized and said that those were only for DISPLAY.
I would have exchanged my yens for that uchiwa but I think it wouldn't work.
I just asked her if I could take a picture of the uchiwa and she said it's okay.
So that's why you could see the uchiwa above. :D
I was really amazed with the shop. Or should I really call it a shop?
From KinKi Kids, SMAP to Kanjani8, Arashi and other Johnnys groups, their stuffs were agonizing to look at because of the awesomeness XD and the fact that you couldn't buy any of them.
I asked her if there's anything I could buy, she learned that I love Morimoto Ryutaro and I admire HSJ, so she went to the CD display shelf and picked Over LE 2 CD+DVD.
She presented it to me and I was about to ask about the price of the CD, but she told me, "presento desu" and I was like "HONTOU???"
So I got the CD free and thanked the lady. I never thought I could get a HSJ CD for free. *eyes twinkling*
Why are Japanese people so kind?
I planned to buy an uchiwa for my boardmate, schoolmate and fangirl friend hikemel.
The lady searched for an uchiwa and gave me one though it isn't an official uchiwa.
It was worth 200 yen, so I paid for the uchiwa and went out of the shop.
I went to Harajuku station again and bought the Yamanote line ticket to Ebisu worth 130yen.
And guess where I went next.
Though it was raining, I still went to this epic place.
YES. Matsumoto Jun and Inoue Mao. I mean, Doumyouji and Makino's special place.
Ebisu Garden Place.
It was raining and I wanted to at least sit where Doumyouji waited for Makino, but it was wet from the rain.
It was already 12am so I went back to the hotel in Daiba.
Tomorrow, I'll be in the Philippines again.
Though I don't want to go yet, I should.
I'll just search for Japanese scholarships and apply.
Who knows, I might again be accepted.
But it is honestly painful.
I already got attached to the country and it's not an easy thing to say goodbye.
I could still remember the feeling when we went out of Narita Airport and felt the cold breeze of wind rushing through my skin.
It was like, "Oh, this is what Morimoto feels whenever he's out of his house."
Being in Japan is JUST so, simply MAGICAL.
If only I could prolong time. But reality check. Lol, I still even have final exams to ace.
So maybe for now I need to temporarily bid Japan goodbye.
I know this is not the end, but rather a new start for me to view things at a nicer angle.
P.S. I saw Nino but not Morimoto my bias. This is sad.
Happy birthday, dear Tacchon!!
Even though until now I can't still believe you posted neekkkiiid in An-An. T.T
