A year after 2012年5月14日 (JENESYS Programme) - Naniwa Iroha Bushi
May 14th of last year, we went to Osaka Prefecture University and met some university students.
In the afternoon, we went to Sakai CIty Hamono Museum, Sakai City Hall, a shabu-shabu restaurant where Arashi songs were being played, and to our surprise, some ikemen guys were waiting for us at the hotel.
LOL.
12 AM! Fresh from the night out with friends ( see previous post)
Outside Daiwa Roynet Hotel.
Outside Osaka Prefecture University.
Inside! This one reminds me of the cement formation in Ebisu Garden in Tokyo.
The pathway. Wide and green.
Bicycles.
On a function hall.
A mousepad given to us by the university president.
Directions.
After the first activity in the university.
At a rooftop. Osaka sky at day.
It was hot!
School cafeteria. Their products were too expensive.
Students eating and studying at the same time.
The clock! 12:00 must love me, huh.
Aoi Bench. ~
Nice, isn't it?
This was some friends' photo. Just to show how Nishialone I was, look for the person with the red bag!
Walking again to the direction of the building where the interaction with the Osakan students will take place.
Those flags. STAHP.
Group activity.
Group picture :) Two Japanese students were combined with us. Yuki-kun and . . .
Hina-kun! LOL, just kidding. So I posted this picture on my facebook account last year and a friend saw this. She said he looks like Hina (Murakami Shingo) and I was like o____O Omg now that you mention it, he really resembles Hina! And the fact that both of them are from Osaka. ほんまに！！！
I forgot his name so let's just call him Hina-kun. LOL. And the one with him is my fellow groupmate who resembles Kuroki Meisa. Correct me if I'm wrong. She also likes Meisa! I remember when we were still in Manila(Philippines) for the pre-departure activites, I was wearing a HSJ shirt and she approached me, saying "You're a JUMP fan? I am also one and I like Hikaru(Yaotome) the most!"
Talk about fandoms collide. :D
So Murakami Shingo with Kuroki Meisa in Osaka together? NOT BAD! (^_^)// /le punched by Jin
One last group picture with my other groupmates and the Osaka Prefecture University students.
Is it a pond or a pool or just a garden or what? Confusing!
We then left Osaka Prefecture University and travelled all the way to another place.
Lovers, ehh?
A helicopter in the sky.
A temple?
Intersection.
I told you, I love road signs.
Shipper heart alert. 山本.
Arrived finally!
I don't respect restrooms. XD
Welcome to Sakai City Hamono Museum.
Us during a lecture on how to create sweets with different designs.
Sakura, I mean Sakura-like sweets.
I MADE THESE! ^_^ Thanks to that wonderful sweets-maker.
These were all created by the majestic chef!
Group picture!
Because I want to cherish every single moment.
At the basement of the museum. Orange, blue, black. Which will give you the idea of. . .
Yoko, Maru, & Yasu! Enuf, Eito!!
Knitted. Cool!
Ancient objects.
Hankai Line promotion poster.
School bus, I mean our group bus.
Sakai Hamono Museum's trademark. A giant knife.
NMB48 streamer.
Another goodbye.Reminds you of our sad visit to Saito-san of Ofunato, Iwate ( see Day 3 post).
/cries
Sanyu
Japan with another country's flags.
21st floor of the Sakai City Hall.
Sakai City from afar.
Can you see the train moving? :)
Those two buildings are from Osaka city.
Osaka city from afar.
The view from above. /drags Maru *___*
So we were about to leave the city hall but one of our Japanese supervisors told us that something's going to happen in 5 minutes.
So we waited.
And here! It was like our worlds stopped! The creatures from the clock were singing and dancing and us, ignorants (LOL) were too happy to see what was happening to the point that normal Japanese business people were already looking at us because it was like a normal and everyday thing for them but to us, it was very special to the point that all of us were taking a video of it. LOL! Obviously, we are tourists!
Irony. We were about to leave the city hall when we saw this. XD It was cute anyway :3
Sakai City Hall from below.
Time conscious.
Crabs. Crabs. Crabs everywhere.
McDonalds.
Not only road signs but also traffic lights and street lights, NAME THEM! I love them! <3
Flowers you can see before entering the Ario mall.
Welcome to Ario mall.
Softbank models. XD
Pinklatte
Expensive.
Eating at a shabu-shabu restaurant - slash - eat all you can restaurant.
Music box versions of Arashi songs were being played and as I, a then-Arashi fan, was singing to the songs with all might.
We were really full because of that meal to the extent that we forgot it was our last night in Osaka.
But surprises did not just end there. Because, when we went back to our hotel, these ikemen guys were PATIENTLY WAITING for us to go home come back. /cries
The students from Osaka Prefecture University whom we interacted with early that day.
They brought us some gifts! I got a cute wind chime that I, until this day, still hangs by my door.
A gift my friend got. I was pushing her to exchange with me that one because the figure's name is "Momotaro" and I was like, o____O MOMOTARO, like MORIMOTO RYUTARO!! Why are you even following me in Osaka? lol
Before saying good bye, I took the courage to ask those ikemen if I can take a picture with them and they said yes.
THANK YOU AS ALWAYS!! <3
This is my third to the last post about my adventures in Japan.
Please look forward to SOME surprises on the next few posts.
Bye and good night!
