Japan trip 2012 - day 7
I think I have never slept as well as I did yesterday night. It's all thanks to Ebi and Junior 8D
So we got ready and left home a bit later than usual and headed to our huge dining room. We tried to go to a new Lawson on the way to the Dome and the cashier was a very nice old lady who asked us if we were here to study and if we were going to the Dome for the baseball game. It was so unexpected that it made me very happy, especially coming from an older person because sometimes, I feel like I'm someone coming from a very weird place according to the way some stare at us in the streets...
It was almost 2pm, we sat in front of the City Hall main entrance and watched people entering the venue for Ebi 2nd show é__è
We first went to Shinjuku to see if we could find "cheap" tickets for another SUMMARY and after going between Shibuya and in Shinjuku, we bought tickets for 2 more Ebi shows next week. The first ones were way cheaper than the original price so of course, we know seats will be pretty terrible but at least, we'll be inside the venue and second ones are balcony first row seats, a bit more expensive than the original price but still completely reasonable in my opinion compared to the other tickets so in the end, it's as if we had bought them at their real price and it was cheaper than if we had used J-int 8D
Once we were done with this ticket issue, we headed to our next destination: NHK/Yoyogi/Aoyama area. Unfortunately, it wasn't that late but NHK London olympics related events were already over so we went to Yoyogi for the a-nation related activities. And it was actually way more fun than expected!
First, there was a booth with hairdressers who were styling your hair in less than 10 minutes and for free. Everytime it's free, sister and I are ok so we let them try to do something with our poor hair that are totally suffering from Japan's heat and humidity xD
Sister was the first one who got her hair styled and while I was waiting behind, a Japanese staff member came to talk to me. She had a very exaggerated way of talking and she made me feel like all I was saying was the most amazing thing ever whereas it obviously wasn't but we'll, she was very adorable in a way x)
So after a while, I also got my hair styled (Sister's hairstyle was better é__è Anyway. 8D ) and when we left, she gave a foot care kit to each of us. If my feet could speak, I think they would have thanked her because we walk A LOT and I'm not nice at all with them lately xD
We continue walking through Yoyogi area and when we got in front of the venue, I wanted to take a picture. Some staff members saw me and started to strike a pose. We came closer and they wanted us to play a game so we played, we lost but I didn't care since they were all so smiley and nice ♥
As we went a little further, a man asked us if we wanted to sing in front of everyone (No way ahaha) and another one came to us saying "Hey!" and high-fived me. When we told him we are French, he got all excited saying that his mother is French and since he was actually selling stuff, he tried to make us buy food (Actually, we're not that hungry... - No problem, I have drinks!) so he then tried to make us buy drinks (*taking a peek in the plastic bag I was holding* -See! You're bottle is empty!) and he was very nice but...no. xD
We then got some bracelets for free and our first goal was actually to reach Aoyama Theatre before 8pm for Playzone's ending so since it was getting late, we went back to Shibuya where we saw this random truck in front of this random poster to go to Aoyama Theatre for the first time. We didn't know that we were actually wrong because there was no Playzone show today. We arrived in front of the venue, two women who looked like fans were there and we wanted a picture of us two so we asked them if they could take it and for some reason, one of the woman answered "Oui, oui~" ("Okay~" in French) so I was like "Eh? You can speak French?" and that's how we started to talk to Kumiko, a Nakada Hiroki's fan who loves Johnny's since her childhood, and her friend who went to France last year ♥
It can be strange to say since they were way more older than us but they were completely adorable and hilarious! They were calling us the "パリっ子ちゃん" (the young girls from Paris), we talked about many different thing from Johnny's matter to which is the best between French and Japanese bread and Kumiko said she'd go to Playzone's last show on Saturday and asked us if we were ok to meet again even if we didn't have tickets which, of course, is completely ok!! =D
Now we know we'll see A.B.C-Z and Junior more and we have met only adorable people today.
Perfect way to end our first week in Tokyo ♥
