Some of you know that I have spent 2 and a half months in Japan since 24th March to 7th June 2007.
I think many of you doubt for what I've done during those period....
Yes....very fangirlish....
Thanks greenbreezes, for giving me so much opportunity and joy during my time in Japan!
First start with my first journey to HOKKAIDO...It's mad, but I spent over 50 hours in the train altogether from Tokyo to Hokkaido and from Hokkaido way back to Tokyo.
Yes.... just to visit Funano, where it was the location of NINO's drama, "Yasashii Jikan".
The cafe', "森の時計" or "Forrest clock", is originally built up for this drama shooting's purpose. Then the land owner, "Prince Hotel" continues this wonderful cafe' and all the touch of this drama still remains in this cafe', decorations, menus, everything....just like how it was in the drama.
Service for ALL HAIKEI's fan!!! YES!! I went to visit Kagurasaka~~~!! My Japanese friend's sister's BF's hometown is next to Kagurasaka, so they guided me around this town and I've seen most of the location in Haikei!!
It was on the 9th April. I had such a great time there!!
There's a Kiiroi-namida's campaigne in familymarts, here are some of what I've bought almost everyday (since familymart is right next to my language school!)
Onigiri-set and spagethi~~!
And luck always a reward for hard working (the fellow in Aibakaland told me that! LOL)
TA~DA~~~!!!
Kiiroi-namida's PRICE~~!! YES!! Kaoruko has won the price!!!
only 3000 plates existed....and I've got one of them in the very last day after trying the lottery for 5-6 times?
I also got a chance for the ticket to Kiiroi-namida's Butai Aisatsu, where ARASHI also appeared in this roadshow for promoting this movie. So I've got a chance to watch this movie in the cinema and met ARASHI for the first time~~!! (14th April) Yes...thanks again....yuuli...!!!
Then it's about the DOME concert, I've been for all 4 concerts. (2 in Osaka and 2 in Tokyo)
Thousand thanks to greenbreezes, she really helps me a lot with this! She's been together with me for the whole rounds of the concerts! (21-22&29-30 April)
The final day of ARASHI AROUND ASIA plus in DOME...as we were on the way back home, the trailler just stopped RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES!! it stopped in the middle of the intersection, for about 10 seconds, but I was at the good location enough to take this pic!! how I LOVE the driver!!
see? no need to move, it fits perfectly with my camera!!
Just this cute little thing~! An OMIYA post box in OMIYA JR station. I've been seeing it everyday! (As I always need to come to this town, "OMIYA") this reminds me OMIYA SK!
I have one friend who happens to live in Chiba, and she drove me to AIBA"S restaurant!! (25th May)
The food here was very delicious! There were many families accompanied small children in this restaurant,so much like family's chinese restaurant. Waitresses here are all 40 years old up! (of course, Aiba's mom wouldn't hire teenage girls in this restaurant, would her? it's too risk!) I met and talked with Aiba's mom, she's very nice and kind, and I said to her that "All my friends expected you're a kind and sweet mom", then she replied, "No, I'm not actually that kind" and grinned! Hahaha I think she might be just like ordinary mom who sometimes play a harsh role to her kids.
Thanks Aiba's mom for her kindness, and thanks Takako-san for driving me there and for this meal!
hmm...my super fandom must be joining the FC! I've been to the Family Club to for manytimes? LOL
Last but not least.....
This first pic,showing almost ALL of Arashi stuffs that I brought back home from Japan.
And the second one is the pics I've put on the room's door! Yes, YAMADA TARO in MAID!!!
I'd love to share more, but I have too many pics to post....
At least, I'm happy enough with this journey! It's fully for Arashi's sake!
