japan from the eyes of a fangirl
so erm yeah. I came back from my Japan trip and finally felt like sitting down to type a real entry. ^^;
so like what the title says, this post is going to be about my Japan trip, well, the fandom related parts only I guess.
it was really fun, finding fandom related stuff, flailing and then spamming photos. XD
so here we go!
*warning: Image heavy
DAY 1
The very first thing that was fandom related started in Singapore actually. On the plane. HAHA.
Guess?
Kamisama no Karute! :D
I think this is destiny. The other time when I went Beijing, the plane had GANTZ. This time, Kamisama no Karute. :D Thank you SQ. My flight was a midnight flight. I was super sleepy at first, but after I saw this, I became super hyper and couldn't wait for the plane to take off so I can watch my kamikaru. ^^;
And when I thought I couldn't get any more hyper...
Arashi's Message from Japan cm aired before the movie! :D /flails.
As for the movie, I thought it was just a teeny weeny bit slow-moving, but that's probably because I'm tired and watched it at 2am in the morning, but overall it's good. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I cried. ;_; Oh and I absolutely adored the interactions between Haru (Aoi) and Ichito (Sho). Especially the last part. Ichito's reaction was epic. :)
Some pictures I took:
Then, we reached Osaka in the morning. First place we went to was the Rinku Premium Outlets. I was disappointed, because I wanted to go to the Gotemba Outlets Arashi went for their first Mannequin 5 SP. :( but oh well. Being the crazy fangirl I am, I wanted to see if I can find any of the clothes Arashi chose for the most recent M5. So I went to...
:D
I went in but I couldn't find any of sakuraiba's cardigans. :( It's winter soon so I figured the clothes sold would have changed too. But I really liked the clothes in Tommy. They're really fashinable, but very expensive. I found this cardigan+checkered shirt coordination which I immediately fell in love with. But it's a freaking 14000yen, about 230 SGD. Also, I found a brown Aiba take with striped suspenders. like OMG so cute :3 but the price ain't cute at all. It's another 14000yen. /sigh.
Okay. I seem to be going off track..am I? I said this would be fandom related only right? haha. okay so back to the topic...
The next fandom related thing I found was at Kobe's Chinatown.
KIRIN. :D not Arashi though haha. Shun, Ayase Haruka and Yamapi. :)
Next, was something I didn't expect.
GACHA! :D you know those gachapon, those that sell capsule toys? These don't sell capsule toys, but Johhny's/other artists' keychains. I found this quite amazing. Put in 300yen worth of coins, turn and GACHA! You get a keychain. I didn't get one though. I didn't have any coins with me then. haha.
A close-up of the Arashi one. It contains keychains of pictures from the WakuWaku charity event in June. The interesting part is you don't know which keychain you're gonna get. :D
Next up, is food related. :D
Oronamin C! :D The one Sho advertised for. I had to buy and try it. ^^
So I drank it. To be honest, I don't really like it. HAHA. I think it's just me, because the drink's really gassy, and I hate gassy drinks. XD The taste's fine though. And now this bottle is happily sitting on my table. :D Yup, I kept the bottle and brought it all the way back to Singapore. LOL. just how much of a fangirl am I? I'm too crazy right.
Next, we went to Kobe Habourland. There was a cinema there, which can only mean one thing...
KAIBUTSU-KUN! :D
Then, we went back to the hotel finally after a long and tiring day. And guess what my room number was.
1103, you say? 3rd November? Arashi's debut day! :D LOL. Me and my numbers again. :Dv
when I reached it was already quite late, but I still made it for the later part of TSD. And I managed to take one photo.
Don't you just love Japan's TV? I mean, look, it's like super super HD! *-*
So I watched Arashi ni Shiyagare in super HD too. It was such a wonderful experience. ^^ Oh and all the CMs I've watched too!
AWESOME.
Ah. I forgot to mention that I went to buy Meiji Choc and Pocky from a nearby supermarket as well.
Sho, Nino and Jun. :D Did I find Ohno and Aiba?
