Day 7 (already) - JE shop and... MIZUKI!
Went this morning to Harajuku and arrived there at 11 AM. Took me a bit longer, because somehow ALL ATMs seemed to be on repair today -.-;;;
So, was there at 11 and got a ticket for 12 o.O Now that was nice *.*
Spent about 50 minutes to write all the numbers in the fields of the pics I wanted to get and in the end I counted 299 pics (while standing in line for 20 minutes).
The nice lady at the cashier needed quite some time to type in all the numbers and then counted to 297 pics. I'll trust her with that? Then she went off to collect all the pictures... After almost two hours I left the shop with 44.100 yen less. I'm sooooooooooo lucky that most of that is NOT my money ^^;;;;
I guess the stack is about 6-7 cm high ^^;;;
Oh, and the lady put a stamp on the reverse side of my receipt. Has anyone ever seen something like this?
Some kind of voucher? Can I exchange that for one picture?
Afterwards I check the idol shops in Takeshita-dori for the pics I was still missing on my other list and found almost all of them. Yosh!
He was such a cute son, wasn't he? And now? *stares at the accident that he calls his hair*
And just for the sake of it, here is the mini-bag I got at my first evening here:
So, yeah, left at about half past 5 PM, to be there in time, because I've learned by now that Space Zero is the theatre with the seekritt skill to hide itself -.-
Of course it kept the expectations I held and the five minutes walked turned into 10-15 minutes, because I stared about two minutes at the map and tried to find out where I am exactly _._
The play itself was kind of "Groundhog Day" = poor Mizuki dies over and over again ^^;;;
Abe Tokio [Sano Mizuki] is a wedding planner and has just made a deal that will give him lots of money. The couple leaves, he goes to sleep, ignores a few phone calls, then the bride-to-be and her dad come back and call off the wedding. Tokio goes upstairs to read a manga. Meanwhile someone breaks into his house. The thief wants money and when Tokio tries to fight, he gets shot - and finds himself in the afterlife with a bad-assed angel (dressed like a maido) and a devil, dressed in white. They give him the chance to make up his mistake, so that he can continue living.
He finds himself back at the time where he evaded the phone calls (which is where he always wakes up) and relives the events again and again.
In the various new chances he gets shot again, run over by a car, killed by the chandelier falling on him, run over by the car again and finally shoots down the chandelier himself, to die _._
He comes back mostly as himself and twice as other characters (the person that shoots him and his own seceretary).
In the end he finds out that his friends wanted to surprise him with a cake in the safe and wanted to "force" him to open the safe like that (still don't know why they had a real weapon then). He manages that the wedding is not blown off and it turns out that the dad of the bride-to-be is his own dad too and the family comes together again.
--------
LOL-moment (1): When Tokio wants to call someone called "Kanenari" on some other characters cell phone. He goes through the numbers "kana... kane... Kaname Jun? What is he doing here?"
Don't ask me either ^^;;; Anyone knows the connection?
LOL-moment (2): After curtain call all the actors stand next to each other. Gomoto Naoya right next to Mizuki. Well, Mizuki is not the tallest guy around, while Naoyan is just that ^^;;;;;;;;
-------
Talk show afterwards.
Gomoto Naoya, Sano Mizuki, Kobayashi Megumi and Akieda Naoki.
Seems like Akieda and Mizuki already worked together on "Trifle" (was that last year?). Naoyan and Mizuki had a short talk about Naoyan working with his younger brother ^_~
And then came the moment that made many people in the audience go "ehhhhhhhh?" (me too), because Megumi and Mizuki worked together back in the 90s on "Kindaichi" (together with Tsuyoshi). I think most people were thinking "ahhhhhh, so she was that girl?!" ^^;;;;
If you imagine a mixture between Daiki-chan and Koichi, you basically get Mizuki in the talkshow ^^;;; (Now I'm sure where Daiki-chan got his behaviour from ^^;;; ), but really, at some moments I thought Koichi was sitting there ^^;;;
