Japan trip 2012 - day 20
Since I'm here, I really understand why people say Japan is one of the safest country in the world.
Our bus arrived in Shinjuku one hour earlier than its expected time which means it was 4:30am. Fortunately, we are not in France where first trains are at 5:30 so we could take one to go back home an apart from quite young fangirls carrying suitcases, wearing high heels and skirts, streets around Shinjuku station were empty so I was surprised to see that trains weren't actually empty at all.
It was very early and after three busy days and a restless night sleeping on the bus, we wanted to go to bed but first, we had to unpack our luggage, to do laundry and when everything was finally over, they had decided that from 7am to 10am was roadworks time just under our window o/
So in the end we barely slept but after another quick "Looking for SUMMARY tickets" tour, we took the Yurikamome to go to Odaiba for the last time. We had to be in Joypolis before 6pm to catch NYC live stage but after 5pm to be able to buy night pass (cheaper than day pass and I think 6hours inside is enough until closure time at 11pm) so since we stopped at the combini before, we bought our tickets at around 5:30pm and waited in front of Joypolis main stage for NYC live stage to start.
We were obviously all Johnny's fans and it was very funny because some girls actually brought uchiwa with them and they screamed before the show when we could see making of scenes on the screen and when Yûma, Chinen (I think he was the most popular) and Yamada appeared even if it wasn't real. By the way, I though that thanks to a new super technology, we would be able to feel like they were really in front of us but it was completely nothing but a screen xD
At 6pm, lights went down. A devastated city appeared on the screen and we heared a woman saying something like "In a world surrounded by darkness, we were desperately looking for the light" and then, NYC was there wearing casual clothes and they started to sing NYC. On stage, there was also a real man wearing a black costume, he was supposed to be the bad guy and all girls cracked up when they saw him doing the "Love love love and peace, you you you and love" choreography xD
During the song, each NYC member had a fight with the bad guy and at the end, a dragon appeared on the screen, they had to defeat it so they put on new silver clothes to sing their new song We can be heroes which is a very good song! It would be great if they release it someday...
There aren't that many attractions in Joypolis but lining up was veeeery long mstly because staff members really took their time before, like they needed to clean the seats (I have never seen that before .__.), to explain what the attraction was about even if it was obvious, to wave at people leaving so in the end, we stayed until closing time and then went out to see the Rainbow bridge by night for the first and the last time. Too bad I don't have a good camera because it was way more beautiful than on this photo...
