soo yeah.. that's all for my first day in Shinjuku!
» Shinjuku is one of the hot spots in Tokyo. That's an awesome place for shopping, arcades and seeing people dressed lolita, decora and all the other trends you can find in Kera or Fruits magazine. I spent almost the whole day alone and i did some fun shopping. Before Ffej went to work we stopped by Don Quiotte a store that's open almost 24h.. that has at least 5 floors and where you can find anything from electronics to maid & lolita dresses (make-up, suitcases, clothes, sex toys, poop & panda shapped pillows, piercings, food, pet stuff..etc! it's the paradize for shopping freaks :P) What's funny in Japan is that you can find sex toys in the regular kids toys aisle and everything is placed pretty randomly XD After drooling all over Don Quiotte we went to an arcade where i PLAYED DDR (yes and it wasn't dusty or hidden and i saw people playing :P) and Ffej played some drumming game. The arcades are filled with UFO catchers and Purikura machines ^___^ Then Ffej had to work so he left me in the middle of Shinjuku and told me in which street Closet child (used lolita & oshare clothes store) was..so there i went. Actually i had to search for 15mins and ask a lady in the street to help me to find the door.. coz even if it was written in big bold letters (in english) on the building with the floor number i couldn't find the right entrance and elevator. o__O; and i'm not talking about a shopping center here.. i just walked 5 feet and there was like 10 different doors leading to elevators. LOL So i went to Closet child.. There was two floors.. one where they sell cds, posters and stuff like that (mostly j-rock & visual kei bands) and an other floor with the clothes. The guy working on the first floor was really hot. He kinda reminded me of An cafe members because he looked kinda like Teruki and had piercings like Miku. I found an An cafe photo magazine that came with a cd and postcard so i bought it. There was free flyers and mini-posters of v-kei bands too so i got some. If anyone wants jrock/vkei cds, photo books, posters and stuff like that i can probably get them from there just ask. :) On the second floor i was welcomed with the cutest and longest "Irasshaimaseeeeeeeee" from two girls. I was in awe.. lolita accessories and clothes everywhere.. all the brands and clothes i've dreamt of.. angelic pretty, h.naoto, metamorphose, btssb, putumayo.. i was sooo shy i only tried a sweet lolita skirt and a sex pot revenge skirt. i bought the second one. :) Then i left and walked around, visiting huge shopping centers.. and then i spot "Jesus diamente" in a window so i go there and what do i find? Moi-même-moitié and other lolita stores all on the same floor!!! I tried taking a video of Moi-même-moitié but the lolita working there told me i couldn't ;___; damn stupid Mana! (It's a store owned by Mana-sama a stupid lolita from a vkei band *Malice Mizer* who thinks he's higher than everyone else. sorry i don't like him) i felt sooooo bad for filming that i pretty much ran away without looking at the clothes or anything. I got scared and it made me sad. I went inside an other cute loli-ish store..maybe it was jesus diamente i'm not sure. It was very sweet.. but i felt uncomfortable so i left the building quickly.. I'll try going back with Ffej. I bought a few things in the shopping center situated in the east exit of shinjuku station and then hung outside where there was a guy with rainbow hair performing. There was lots of teens watching.. most of them dressed lolita, decora, oshare, ganguro etc.. That's pretty much it.. i had funny encounters with ganguro boys too.. they tried flirting and they were drunk bwahah. XD That was pretty much it for my day in Shinjuku.. the pics tell you more.
Here's some videos:
+ Arcade in Shinjuku (there's one every 10 feets!): http://youtube.com/watch?v=k4-XM49MYwc
+ Singer & Lolitas near the east Shinjuku subway exit: http://youtube.com/watch?v=IPzG6-4tU48
+ Schoolgirls sleeping on the yamanote subway line that goes to shinjuku, harajuku and shibuya (they were standing before and their skirt was rolled up sooo effin' short! o__O; sukebe!) http://youtube.com/watch?v=DIJ0_RKxSYI
More later! I gotta go visit Tokyo alone (and get lost in the subway probably haha) coz Ffej will be mad at me if i spend one more day chillin' at home surfing the net XD It's just that i don't know where to go and what to do when i'm alone... i have a hundred shops to find but the maps are no help and the language barrier kinda sucks. I always fear doing wrong things (like i did in the moi-meme-moitie store) getting lost or not paying the right amount for the subway.. :/ oh well.. courage. Meh.. and it so friggin' humid my body is having very annoying reactions.. +___+ and it's not like i can just go to the drugstore and buy remedy by myself. arg. :/ Darn i shouldn't be complaining! Gomen ne.
PS: AHHH A DOZEN SCHOOLGIRLS JUST WALKED BY IN THE STREET AND I DIDN'T HAVE MY CAM NEAR ;____; nyaaa
