3:00 Isn't it super early? But once I really woke up at 3 am. It was a day off, I wanted to go surfing so the day before I went to sleep soon after work at 11 pm and at 3 am I woke up. If it's for doing something funny I can totally wake up early (lol). So, I woke up, washed my face and teeth and I took off with 3 friends in car. I think it took only 5 minutes from the awakening to the departure. During the trip we stopped to have breakfast...We also prepared Yakisoba with eggs and Onigiri, the Yakisoba was delicious!!
4:00 We arrived at the beach. There we met other friends, we were 5 people. That day the weather was good and the waves were great, we had so much fun~ The thing I like the most is the first view of the sea at the "arrival day". You know, when you see the sea and the sky from far away and the horizont line, the sun sparkling...when I arrive at the sea my gaze is to the sun because it rise up little by little. When the sun is up and it lights the waves it's so beautiful. Just this makes me think "I'm glad I woke up early today". Amn't I so cool saying this!?
8:00 We went off from the water, after 4 hours in the sea our bodies were all swollen up (T_T). I took a shower, put things in order and then we relaxed sluggishly for around 1 hour.
9:00 We went away. We went to Ginza to have meal, or breakfast should I say? We decided to go to a ramen shop where a friend works, we had a delicious Tonkotsu Ramen. The shop opens at 11 am but there was some traffic...
11:00 We arrived just on time at the opening!! Wasn't my prediction amazing? (lol)
13:00 I went back home. I took a nap. If I had work in the afternoon I wouldn't have taken one, thought. That was my day off so I took it easy.
17:00 I woke up because other friends came to my house, we played soccer game together, we were so excited that I didn't notice that other people were arriving, in the end we were 5 boys (lol).
20:00 We went to eat all together out in a pretty fashionable pan restaurant, but I ordered only a white meal with eggs, karaage, salad and miso soup. Now that I think about it why the hell didn't I take a pan!? (lol). We stood here talking and having fun. Later my friends wanted to go somewhere else but the next day I had to wake up at 7 for the drama's shooting so I went home. Lately I'm so busy and I lack sleep...I'm happy of having work but if I don't sleep enough I can't concentrate, it's not good.
25:00 I came back home and I feel asleep immediately (lol).
Yamapi
10:00 When I don't have to use the alarm clock and I can wake up naturally it's always around this hour. Isn't too late, right? When I was a student I woke up earlier, around 7 am maybe...I worked so hard (lol). I wash my face and go to the near mall to have breakfast. Since that hour isn't too suited for breakfast I usually buy a bento. I'm always very hungry. If I wake up even later I call home deliveries sometimes, the things I choose the most are Udon and Soba. There are also the Curry days. If I go to eat in a cafè? Never! When I go I never choose fashionable places but mostly set meal shops (lol).
13:00 I choose my personal clothes directly from my closet and I go out. I quite never spend a whole day at home. Often I go out and I go to shopping or to CD shops just to waste time.
16:00 I check the schedule of the cinemas. If my times match I go there. My movies' favourite items are a drink and popcorn, salty popcorn for sure! But usually I can't resist to the caramel ones and I take half and half (lol). I really love movies so if I can I always try to go to the cinema walking. Just recently I asked to a movie commentator to recommend me a positive movie. I think that positive movies are good and give you energies. He wrote me a memo so I don't remember the name now but he recommended me 5 movies.
18:00 After the movie I try to contact friends to search somebody to eat together. Of course I prefer to have dinner with somebody rather than being alone, it's funnier. Recently I invited a friend of my high school time, we went to a famous pork meat restaurant. It was all so delicious! When I meet him we always end up talking about old stories. We always start with a "You were such a guy then!!" and in the end "We really didn't change at all since then!" (lol)
24:00 I go back home feeling good. When I go to eat out I usually come back at this hour. I change my clothes in my room and I watch some TV. Right now I'm thinking of changing my TV. I want one with big 62 inches screen to play shooting and racing games! The power should be so strong!! It's a kid's dream~ But even if I'm an adult I can still play the games I like, right? (lol).
25:00 I take a shower and I prepare to sleep. There are days in which I take hot baths but usually I take showers. To wash myself I start from the head. To sleep I use a T-shirt and sweaters. When it's too hot I sleep shirtless.
26:00 I put off all the lights and good night.
Tegoshi
11:00 Since I usually stay up all night to watch soccer games on TV I wake up pretty late. With sleepy eyes I go to wash. I wash my face and drink a coffee. I have an espresso machine but doing it at morning is too annoying so I take milk coffee (lol). I put on my tv and play a soccer match. The morning match can change up my mood. My breakfast is simply a yogurt and a banana.
13:00 I call a friend of my soccer team who lives near to me: "Would you like a tea?" and we meet in a near cafè. I order an ice coffee. Of course we talk about soccer. When there was the World Cup we were pretty in high spirits.
15:00 I go to train soccer. I spend around 2 hours there sweating a lot.
17:00 Wow I had only a yogurt since the morning! Of course I'm hungry and I go to a simple cafè to have a early dinner. I try to keep the calories low so I often take a chicken menu. I'm not that interested in eating, I'm the type who eats anything. If when I'm hungry I want meat I take meat, if I want sushi I go for sushi. I don't care if I have 3 meals with curry (lol). But I know that what I eat is important for my body so I try to keep a balance.
18:00 I meet friends in a cafè. There is the friend of the tea and other young boys, we just talk there. We spend 2 hours talking about soccer or koibana and everything else.
21:00 Soccer training again! This time with my neighborhoods team. Since we're a lot we often part in 2 and we have friendly matches between us. I can't live without soccer, dance and singing, for me they are necessary to take away the stress and be in a good mood.
23:30 I go back home. When the days are this active I go in the bathroom and take a long bath. Then I start watching the soccer matches I recorded.
27:00 I watch live the foreigner teams' soccer matches (lol)
29:00 With all the excitement I often don't notice that it's already dawn...I set up the alarm and go to bed to sleep. So that I can wake up properly!
Shige
8:00 I wake up and take a shower in the hotel...recently I've been 8 days and 6 nights in Spain with a friend. I will talk about the day before the departure for going back to Japan.
9:00 I go out from the hotel. Already used to Spain's air I meet the people's eyes and say "Hola!" freely.
10:00 I go to Picasso museum. I've known the works of the genius painter Picasso since I was a kid so I'm truly interested in seeing them from real.
12:00 I enter a restaurant called "Val" and I order Tapas. The croquettes were delicious.
13:30 I go to a mall in Cataluña Plaza to buy souvenirs. In a food shop I bought the essentials for Paella, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kokoa. I originally wanted to buy something for my friends but I thought that, more than common souvenirs, it would be nice to offer them a meal of Spanish dishes and paella cooked by me. Wasn't it a good idea? I wasn't sure about buying also the paella pan, it was too voluminous (lol).
15:00 I locked my bags and I went to visit a modern museum. I took so many pics of Spain's streets. Seeing me going around with a rare-looking camera hung on my neck many people asked me "Are you a cameraman?". Since of course they didn't talk in Japanese I was happy that I wished I've known the language a little.
17:00 I head for Mirò museum with a taxi. I couldn't explain in Spanish the direction and since the driver didn't talk English very much I had to show him the city map yelling "This, This!" (lol). I'm happy I could see Mirò's works too. I bought a picture book of it in the museum shop. It costed half than how it costs in Japan!
19:00 Pulling my heavy bag I came back to the hotel. With the weight of all the souvenirs I was afraid I had to buy another bag. Somehow packing them ordinately I succeed in putting all in one! I was amazed by my packing skills ♥ but still my baggage weighed more than 30 kilos...
20:00 I went to take a stroll alone with my camera for my last Spanish evening. I went again in the restaurant,
24:00 I finished the preparatives for the return and I went to sleep. This was my story! The souvenir for Duet is my face still stupid for the time difference... (lol).
Massu
10:00 I put on the TV and I check the world news. Recently for breakfast I take sweet bread with maple syrup. The chocolate flavoured one is good too. I drink cold milk or soy milk for beverage. I quite never drink hot stuff. There are also days in which I eat bacon & eggs. I like the menu of the buffet in the hotels.
11:00 I have a early lunch. Eh, it's too early? I usually have breakfast, take some breath and then "Maybe I should have lunch too" because the morning is the time when I'm most hungry of all day. So I have a omelette rice.
12:00 I go on watching random tv shows from the morning. I usually watch it from my sofa in the living room, not in my room. The measure of my tv is pretty normal thought the friends who saw it told me that it looks like an home theater...Yeah yeah I'm kidding! I wouldn't mind to have one tho (lol). I really love TV. I start from the news shows in the morning to the entertainment shows. During the tour I couldn't watch too much tv so I loved to watch the things I recorded during my day off.
16:00 Somehow when this hour comes I often think "Ok, let's go to the gym!". So excited like if I just decided to go to Kyoto or similar (lol).
17:00 When I decide to go to the gym I prepare myself before I can change my mind, because if there is some interesting drama in TV I may end up to not going.
18:00 I put my swim suit in the bag
19:00 After 3 hours from my decision I finally arrive to the gym (lol). I have 30 minutes of stretching, when I'm ready I go in the pool. Usually I swim 1000m. If I don't do this much I feel like I didn't do it at all. I swim with my own pace. There are also days in which I go to walk. When I train I do sit-ups heading to the next concert!
21:30 I go back home. When I go to swim after I'm hungry so I want to eat my beloved gyouza. If nobody stops me I can eat also 50 of them, I love it.
23:00 I'm again in front of the TV. I watch night variety shows or the dramas I recorded. When I've the day off I can stay all day long in front of the tv!
24:00 I'm getting sleepy at this time. I take a shower, wear a t-shirt and shorts and I check once again the tv (lol). I put it off and go to my room to sleep. ZZZ...
Koyama
11:00 Awakening time. I open the window so I can change the air. I put on the washing machine and I check the news for 1 hour. The newspapers are my homeworks. Since I work for "News every." I started to read them. It's not only to know what happened in the world, I also try to think something if I'll be asked a comment about it.
12:00 I hung the washed clothes in the veranda, I go to take a shower...Ah, before it I switch on the rice machine. My breakfast is pork meat, proteins and a simple salade. Recently I've received a lot of Sudachi from a location I've been to. The soup of it with some soy sauce turns in a good dressing for salade!
14:00 I take the car and go out. When I'm driving my concentration rises, I always do it in my free time. There I can think to song lyrics or train inside my head sign language.
16:00 Voice training's lesson. After 1 hour of lesson it's nice to sing one song I like. Recently I've sung "Kimi ga iru dake de" by Komekome CLUB with my teacher playing piano. Singing that famous song was great!
19:00 To the gym. It's so cool to have good muscles. Looking to the players in their uniforms during the World Cup I thought that they were really sexy. I want to look the same and shape up my body. Don't you think that lately my abd looks good? I also gained some more weight. If during the concert there will be the opportunity to take off my clothes I will amaze everybody with my new soft macho body!
22:00 Sign language's lesson. The first hours is joking with my teacher using sign language. The half hour later is study for the next exam. We always have lessons in places where we can also eat, it's always the same restaurant so now I already tasted the whole menu. So lately I've got the habit to ask "There's a new menu?" (lol). It's exactly one year that I study sign language. If I look back to that day maybe I'd think "Koyama, isn't your schedule too full now?" but since I do things I love I don't think it's heavy at all. I want to do them and having fun.
25:00 I go back home and I spend time with Nyanta. It's bath time. I always try to use the bath at nights. Recently I've bought a new parfume, rose flavoured, I really love it
27:00 I look back to my whole day and I fall asleep. Let's make the next day off a good day again!
