Destini in NIPPON ’09 | Day 7-8

Thursday we did nothing until Emily came home. That’s when we were like, “Yay last day of school successfully completed!” and got ice cream and goodies! Then we watched Music Station and laughed. Then headed back to our room and used our computers until we got tired~

Today was fun! We woke up and headed to Shibuya to try and get me a phone (again). They didn’t have it. I was pissed. We’ll leave it at that.

Afterwards though, we met up with Emily’s schoolfriends. They were nice, Korean girls! One was a Sho fan~ <3 And shes like Big Bang, too!

Guess who her fave was? TOP! My man~ <3 So I think she has a thing for rappers, like me. LOL XD

So then we head to Harajuku and meet up with Shoulmate Gwendy and head through Takeshita Doori. Once we get to the end, we go back to the KDDI building, because Emily hasn’t seen it yet. Her schoolfriends decide to go to Starbucks so we they them we’ll meet up afterwards.

Here are some shots of the huge banner in the front. Funny story before I show them: When I came to the KDDI building the first time, a bird had taken a dump on Sho’s chin. T__T It was kinda sad! They cleaned it though & I was happy. So onto the pictures. XD

Then we went inside~ Here are more pictures from that.

Really, it’s the same after a while. ^^;; We looked at the phones, same deal. Emily had never seen Oguri’s au ad when he’s all crazy and changey! She was like, “O_o” at the poster of it. Haha, they said, “He even looks weird normal!”

Then we left and headed to Jonathans in Harajuku. It’s like Dennys – Japanese style.

Haha, when we went grocery shopping that one day, we bought pens with built-in hanko stamps of (most of) Arashi member’s last names. So I had my Ninomiya one with me and stamped it after Emily’s name on the reservation list. The guy was like, “O__O Is this you??” It was a good laugh.

While we were there, Gwendy brought some shop photos she needed to get rid of. O____O I was so happy! Because of her I have a ton more! How sweet, yeah. I’m blessed with the greatest friends. =\

Oh and I ran my basic Korean phrases by Emily’s friends! They understood me so I guess I did okay. LMAO

We finally got in and I had a Tomato, Eggplant, and Parmasean Hamburg. I’m a moron & didn’t really gather that hamburg is salisbery steak and I wasn’t in the mood for it. Good thing I ordered that side of karage! It was DELICIOUS~!

Then we left there and stood on the outside roof area, looking down at the busy street. Here’s a shot of what was directly in front of us.

LOL JAPAN. I love how instead of just saying, “You’re small!,” they call it “Smart Boy.” Amazing.

We were rating boys while we were up there too. It was pretty fun. While we were bullcrapping around, we were trying to get in contact with Emily’s schoolfriends but couldn’t. So we decided to just head to Johnny’s Shop! I got a few more pictures of Sho from Everything, one of some epic Ohmiya from Crazy Moon, and a really cute Jun one from Everything!

We leave there and get ready to try and find her friends again so we can go do purikura and go to the unofficial Johnny shops in Takeshita Doori. Well we finally get in contact with them and find out they are in line at Forever 21. Earlier we walked by Forever 21 and you’d think SMAP was in there playing an impromptu concert! HUGE LINE! Apparently, it’s the first F21 in Japan so people are lining up to get things from there. So Emily tells them to keep shopping and that we’ll meet up later.

So we go down Takeshita Doori to the purikura shop and it was fun! I can’t take any good shots of it though but lets just say that purikura like photoshops your picture for you or something! You can never not look nice! LMAO

After that, we peeked through the Johnny’s shops and I came up on that ticket shop. The night before, me and Emily pretty much mutually decided that we had kinda already got over not seeing Nino’s butai. And I’m glad we did. I misread the prices.

135,00 Yen.

THAT IS INSANE.

So we got out of there quickly! Then we went into the Daiso and bought jewel sheets and such to deco/Age-fy our stuff! I deco’d my DS Lite, Blackberry Curve, and iPod Video.

I like it! I wanna actually lay down each stone individually one day but this will do for now. That was pretty much the jist of the last two days. We’ll be doing laundry/who knows what tomorrow! Will update. I hope these updates have been okay so far? Not that I have a real goal/format. Haha, my goal is to do this for my ENTIRE trip. So far so good!

I also think I’m going to start running at night time! :)

  1. Hajimemashite. I was searching some Arashi article and your blog came across :)
    I’m just wondering, how is the weekly mansion by sakura housing? I’ve been looking into prepaid cell phone as well and I had no luck for last few times I was in japan….. It looks like you may be able to order it online IF you are in japan and able to show the ID? (not sure…)

    Anyways, I just wanted to drop a line since I’m reading your blog! Ooooooooh I hope that I win the kokuritsu tickets….. I guess we won’t know until beg. of August?

    Anyhow, korekaramo Arashi jyouhou tanoshimini shitemasu yo :)

  2. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy reading about your exploits in Japan. It sounds like you having the best of fun and I hope you thoroughly enjoy the rest of your trip.

    • Sorry for the late reply! Thank you so much! I am enjoying Japan a lot! I’m sad that I will be leaving so soon. ;_;
