Strength-less?
Hi everyone, I just came back from Japan two days ago!! When I reached home, I took quite awhile to unpack my stuffs and I'm still not done yet. Not because there is a lot of things but its because I'm too lazy to do it. XP
Japan was fun and C-O-L-D. Especially when it rained. It was worse when the wind blew.
Two days have passed but I still feel tired due to the fact that I stayed up late to watch Arashi shows and others when I was in Japan. XD
Did not take much pictures of Japan but took only the things I bought. XP Really regretted it though.
I managed to get Shava Dava, Soup de Okoge, Arashi Au catalog, etc but not the curry mix because I read somewhere that it is only sold in the TBS shop. Also I did not try Pepsi nex because I was running out of money. T_T
Day one.
Arrived in Japan with 6kg of luggage. And while exploring the airport, there was this last Arashi Au catalog at the Au shop rack waiting for me.. XD
After checking in at a center which my family and I will be staying at Ikebukuro, we roamed about on the streets and also went to Sunshine city/60 to view Tokyo.
Went to HMV at night and I bought the Jan mags and Pikanchi single. Also wanted to buy Kat-tun's White X'mas but did not in the end.
Gets for the day.....
Day Two.
Took the train to Shinjuku and there were Sho's and Jun's Au posters at each side of the wall at the Ikebukuro Station! Sadly, there were too many people so I couldn't take any pics . There were more people than in Ikebukuro as expected.
We went to a shopping mall and I grabbed more Au catalogs and bought Sho's and Nino's Otakara file.
Can't remember what happened next.
Returned to Ikebukuro in the late afternoon and spotted Shava Dava so I immediately bought 4 bottles. XD
Gets for the day....
Day Three.
Visited some vocational and language schools in Kamata. Therefore I can't remember anything about that day and did not buy anything.
Day Four.
Explored Ikebukuro again.
Went to Tokyu Hands and saw that they were selling plain Uchiwas so I got some! Also got a metal pencil case (influenced by my sis), but it got dented when I returned to Singapore. T_T And I dropped it again yesterday! But I have already thought of a plan to decorate it and may post the pic of it when I have done so.
Also bought a set of clothes at ¥1,990, it might sound cheap but it is about S$31.85! Due to this, it was the only clothing I bought in Japan. T_T Bought a big flower hair tie for ¥1,575. That's S$25.20 for a HAIR TIE! But it was so pretty I just had to get it. Also bought Canmake 'Colour Strap Palette'. Though I do not really use make up, I got it because Canmake's items are so shiny and it was definitely much cheaper in Japan.
Bought 5 cups of Soup de Okoge at the small supermarket near where I stayed too.
Gets for the day....
Day Five.
Harajuku and Shibuya!!
Went on a Sunday because my father wanted to see the cosplayers. Unfortunately, it was raining so there was not a single one in sight.
We came out of Harajuku Station at the West gate I think and there was all 5 Arashi members Au posters on both sides of the walls!! 5 on each sides!!
As there were no cosplayers on the bridge, we went shopping.
I bought a few unofficial Arashi goods from the 'Johnnys' shops but did not get any clothes because the prices of them there were unbelievable.
Given the limited time my father gave us, my sis and I managed to walk until we saw the Takeshita-dori sign. And there was Sho's humongous Au poster on the building right in front of me! But we had to head back so I did not take any photos of it. Again. T_T
Shibuya, crossed the famous cross junction. XD So many people!! Went to Shibuya 109 but I bought only 3 things because the things were so expensive there. At least it applies to me because of the horrendous currency exchange rate.
And finally, a picture of Jun's Au bill board poster in Shibuya that I took. Yes! I took it, but it was the only one too. XP However one or two days ago, Sumoboy said that it have been changed so what's the use of it now? T_T Here it is anyway.
Bought Shava Dava again.
Gets for the day....
As you can see, I bought 2 (rolled-up) posters. Got the shorter one because it was cheaper than the first shop I went to so I couldn't resist it. The longer one was this big big poster of Arashi's Dream 'A' Live con. So it was a must for me. XP
Day Six.
Visited another language school and later went to Akihabara. Got more of the Au catalog and other mags which were only available there I think.
Bought a few Anime stuffs and at the toys department in one of the buildings, I saw Yatterman's Key cover 'put in money, turn, turn ,turn, ball/egg come out' machine. So I tried it hoping for who else but Yatta-man to come out but I got the evil woman, Doronjo instead. (Played by Fukada Kyoko) Why? Why? Why?!!!
Also, I went to 0101 city to get the handkerchief I fell it loved when I first saw it a few days ago. The brand is 'Private Label', is it branded(?) because it was placed with the other branded handkerchiefs and later, I went back to Ikebukuro's Tokyu hands again and bought stuffs for my dog.
Day Seven.
Went to Tobu shopping mall in the Ikebukuro Station and got the singles and phtobooks as can be seen in the picture. However, there was no Arashi Around Asia photobook. So I'm still missing that and two more other official ones. And I bought Kat-tun's White X'mas because it was my last chance to get it. And later bought some sweets at night.
Day Eight.
Last full day in Japan. Checked out of the center we stayed in and the lady boss gave me some chirstmas gift.
Headed to Narita Comfort Hotel in Narita by train with my freaking heavy 20kg luggage.
There was no escalator downwards at the Narita station so I had to carry it down and boy, was it heavy!
The check in time at the hotel was 3pm so we left our things there and went to visit the temple.
(Pardon me for the ugly photography.)
Went to Aeon Shopping Mall and did some last minute shopping.
Got this really cute coin purse and sweet 'cakes' at 'Mother Garden'.
Bought 2 sets of Canmake fake eyelashes and also Happy Bathday soap at Jusco. And some random eyes stuffs at daiso too.
Final Day.
Headed to Narita Airport and fortunately we did not go over the weight limit.
Bought a Key chain but did not take the pic of it.
Reached home at 7pm and embraced my dog in my arms. XD Later in the night, an 'old' bug died on my bed.><
Sale post will be quite a while later because I have not come out with any format yet.
