A year after 2012年5月9日 (JENESYS Programme - Leaving Tokyo & Hello, Ichinoseki!)
Happy birthday, Kimitaka!! He's already 32 now.
I know it's also Yamada's birthday. So happy birthday to the Hidarime duo! :)
Same time last year, we were leaving Tokyo via Shinkansen and stopped at Ichinoseki city in Iwate prefecture.
So here are the spam of pictures!
Gorgeous Tamamori with Taipi.
Watching Nakai's show featuring Kis-My-Ft2.
Ohayou, Tokyo!
Room! My roommate's bed is so messy. lol. Mine is the empty one. /winks
The dining area. Excited for the first breakfast!
Who wouldn't be full with these? Paaan Panda!!
I said I am really random, right?
Because we've got so much time to kill, some groupmates and I went outside to take pictures.
At my back: Hotel Nikko Tokyo, and Yurikamome line Daiba station.
Before our lecture about the 3.11 Japan earthquake. The speaker was a professor from Meiji University!
/pokes Inoo and Kento
I took photos of the restrooms of every establishment we went to.
Daiba station!! But we just passed by it. The station is connected to the hotel, like there's an entrance in the hotel where it directly leads to the station! COOL!
There's Fuji TV Station at my back!!
Honestly, my new friend Angeline and I just SNEAKED again by this moment!
I remember Yamapi on a scene in Nobuta wo Produce. (Episode 5, I think). The setting was here.
That platform there on Pi's right side. ;;____;;
Fuji TV Station and Aqua City mall at their back, which are just beside the hotel where we stayed.
The hotel where we stayed (Grand Pacific Le Daiba) at Kame's back and Hotel Nikko Tokyo at Maki's back.
Waaaaaah!
Some Japanese boys~~ <3
Familiar, right? There's also the Statue of Liberty where Yoko (Yokoyama You) took a picture in "for No.8" photobook.
I'll search the picture later.
No picking of flowers, ehh? Lovely flowaaa!
Tokyo Gundam 2012.
Quite expensive, ehh? But it's K-ON! Even though I am not a K-ON! fan.
Keychains are too expensive.
Strawberry-flavored Pocky.
Chocolate ones.
かわいい socks
Rilakkuma! Have I mentioned that I love Rilakkuma?
Hi, Kitty! Japaaaaan!! /lol random
I really find Tomochin beautiful. XP I like her.
OH NO! An alligator in the mall! Run for your lives!
Fluffy!!
Some Japanese girls
Too expensive for a jeans. ;;___;;
Then we went back to the hotel only to find our group supervisor angry at us because we were quite late.
Japan observes punctuality with time. I hope the same goes here in this country. ;(
We then said good bye to the hotel in Daiba, Tokyo. Ready to set the journey.
But actually, while I was boarding the bus, I cried so hard, enough for our Japanese supervisors (not the Filipino supervisors) to notice me. Why was I too dramatic that time? はずかしい！！
The bus stopped somewhere in Minato due to some pedestrians crossing the street. Some young Japanese boys in uniform looked at our bus, stopped and waved at us! Cute, right? Even though the bus started moving again, they were still waving at us like crazy.
Saying goodbye to the Rainbow Bridge, Fuji TV & the hotel where we stayed.
I have a fetish over road signs.
Cute!
Softbank
Finally, we reached Ginza!
Ginza Station.
Because this was exactly taken during Yoko's birthday, and today is also his birthday, let us just call this establishment, "APPLU."
So my groupmates were arguing about the pronunciation of Chanel, whether it should be pronounced as "Shanel" or "Channel".
In the end, everyone just laughed. lol, arguing at such small thing.
Cute mini pine tree. Can I take you home?
Aoyama
Never mind my face. I was just amazed at how my groupmate took the picture with a wedding shop behind me. We didn't do it on purpose.
The name of the restaurant was "La Boheme." The meal was not Japanese-ish as you can see.
Trivia: FIND Kame (Kamenashi Kazuya)!
7-Eleven, why u no Eito goods that time?
docomo.
Our bus stopped again because of the traffic signs. These cute school girls were too shy to show their faces to us. My guy groupmates were waving at them and they just smiled. How cute.
Finally, we arrived.
At Tokyo Station.
Another picture.
Hello. Tokyo Station!
Inside.
Finally boarding the Shinkansen to Iwate. Good bye, Tokyo!
The railroad.
With a groupmate before boarding the Shinkansen.
Outside Tokyo.
Somewhere far.
The Fukushima nuclear plant.
Sendai! We stopped for about 20 minutes?
AT LAST! Ichinoseki
After a shinkansen trip for three hours, we've arrived safe and sound.
And this^. This was the FIRST Sakura I've seen in real life. /cries
It's situated in front of the hotel in Ichinoseki.
The temperature here by the way is way colder than Tokyo.
So my roommate turned on the TV only to see this. /cries
Our room for two days.
Not that we sneaked again. This time, we were allowed to go outside JUST to take pictures with the majestic sakura tree. And of course, our strict Filipino supervisor was watching us from afar. XD
Nice Ichinoseki street.
By the way, each group has two Filipino and two Japanese supervisors. The two Japanese supervisors were too nice and *starts crying* very considerate. Even though my groupmates were already too noisy, they were still smiling at us. Then the two Filipino supervisors (one male & one female): the male one was also kind and loose (I mean by loose: he just let us do what we want), while the female supervisor was the strict one. So, okay! Let's move on to evening, after dinner time.
Because SNEAKING AT NIGHT did not end in Tokyo. Ichinoseki, here we go. XD
Pretending we're calling our family in the Philippines.
The hotel where we stayed in Ichinoseki.
Outside a Lawson convenience store.
Okay, fine. I don't really like moe-type of anime, neither the story of K-ON!
But since I am already here, let me just pose with the 4 characters!!
Japan pedestrian roads are equipped with surprises as well.
So my friend who suggested to sneak out told me to pose in front of a street light. Just went with the flow. When I turned to my back, I saw something. Zoom the picture if you want to know!
Seeing it, I rushed to the nearest pedestrian lane and ran all the way to a closed CD shop.
Sexy Zone, Arashi *note: I was a big Arashi fan that time*, and Perfume.
END of May 9th post!
I'm sorry for posting too many pictures. I took about 400-700 photos DAILY when I was in Japan. Choosing which ones to post is a bit mind-blowing. Will post again tomorrow. Good night!
Happy birthday, Kimi!
