The experience of seeing Matsumoto Jun from a short distance
So I thought I would use a long name for the post, like those used in books and such things..
And here it goes, the story of how I got to see Matsujun :)
For a start I would have to explain how funny things are, since two days before I was in Tokyo with my friend and we had set to meet my Japanese friend, Hiroshi, to have lunch together at Shibuya. So before we got there, we took a little detour to visit the Yebisu Garden Place, and take a few pictures where Tsukasa met Tsukushi for a few times during Hana Yori Dango.
So there I went and there I stood, where Matsujun had sat some years ago. It was really exciting to be there! After the pics we headed to Shibuya to have a delicious ramen ^^
The next day we took the morning train to Kawaguchiko station, since we would visit Fuji Q Highland Park the day after. And so we got there and it was snowing! A little, but still snowing. We had our hopes high that the next day would be better. Or so the girl from the hostel said so.
Thankfully it did got better. We arrived at the place around 10am and started our journey through the high-tension mechanical games.
It's not worth saying how much fun we had, but I'll just say it was freezing cold!
It wa around 3pm or 4pm that we decided to stop and eat at Piazza, a restaurant with glass walls. So I took my place facing outside and when I finished my deli pizza, I just watched around the place and outside. 3 boys sitting at a table outside caught my attention, because they stood up, mobile phones on hand and leaving their drinks at the table. And I'll never forget that time when one of them opened the glass door and said "Matsujun!"
So I stood up automatically, not knowing what to do, if run outside without my jacket or grab it and the camera or whatever.. So I just left everything on the table, put on my jacket and ran outside.
And there was a multitude of people walking, along with a bunch of guys stopping whoever dared to raise a camera to take a picture :( by the time I spotted Matsujun he had already passed, but it was not difficult to identify that hairdo and black jacket (and of course, his way of walking). They climbed the Piazza game and I stood there, watching the huge thing spin around. After the game was over, they recorded something and then walked out through some door. It seemed they were leaving the park already.
After that, we climbed the ferris wheel and I just couldn't bare so much excitement. I had seen him from afar and that was enough already! We had been in the same place!
We decided to go back to the hostel so we headed for the exit/entrance and just when we reached the Eejianaika, that is near the entrance, we saw a couple of guys with a camera, and that made me think that he might still be in the park. So we headed to the entrance of the game and there was more people there. So he was there!!
I took my place standing near from where I thought he could pass, now resigned to the fact I wouldn't get a picture, I decided to stare all I could.
So the round of the game stopped and the people started coming out. A few girls came out yelling excited and then all the people from the show (that it wasn't until I came back from Japan that they wee shooting Himitsu no Arashi chan) and at the very last came Matsujun, who was talking with another guy. I even saw Kanjiya Shihori san, but I didn't recognize her.
Gosh, Matsujun looked jut the same as you would expect him to! And he even stopped a couple of meters away from me! I just stared with a huge grin on my face. I didn't call him or anything, I'm more of a shy person, an I didn't want to caught his attention. Of course he might have been surprised, since I look nothing alike an oriental girl, but I just stared and that was enough for me.
Then they continued walking towards the exit and we were behind the group of people. We even saw their vans as the drive out the place. If only I had seen Nino since he was there too! I dot know if he wasn't there at the time they walked in front of me or if I was too hooked by Matsujun that I didn't see anybody else.
So, that's my story. Quite long but I couldn't make it shorter.
Anyway, here's the collage I did from the Ebisu Garden Place..
