I just saw DBSK. In real life. NO MORE THAN 8 ROWS AWAY. WE WERE IN THE 9TH ROW. RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING STAGE. Holy shit.

Yoochun is even hotter irl than I'd ever thought. ;___; brb crying. I still can't believe I saw them. ajdgshfgsdhfdsf

We took some "after gig" purikura photos just a few minutes ago. XD We took some with [info]hoshiko_malfoy, too! She's staying in this same hotel and is going to see DBSK tomorrow. :D She's quite fun, I have to admit. (And didn't like salmiakki, which I just had to make her try. BHAHAHA.)
Tomorrow is our last day in Japan~ and on Monday we'll go home. 8( dnw.

Penguins! Sharks! Rays!

Omgg! We went to Osaka's Aquarium today. I got to pet a little shark! ^_____^ And a ray fish. They were so slimy (yet cute) haha. I bought a cellphone charm too, it's like the 872647823th one I've bought here. It has a little shark in an ice cube and has the aquarium's name on it. ^___^

Lol I ran out of money and the ATMs here are closed Sat-Sun and on the evenings. :'((( And on Monday we'll already leave. TT___TT Oh well. I can always borrow some from Ellu in case I need to buy something that costs more than.... 5000 yen. Lol. (Emphasis on the word "need".)

CONCERT TOMORROW. SQUEEEEEE.

BRB GOING TO DESTROY DBSK'S PURE IMAGE TOMORROW BEING A FOREIGN NON-ASIAN FAN. %D

Circulus in probando, part IIXMDXCV (and no that number does not make any sense)

Where the hell do all the fat stylish people here buy their clothes?! Seriously. I cannot find anything that fits me and looks good. Except socks, lol. I need to lose weight and starve myself until I have enough money to come back here next year or the year after that. :'D

So. Today I bought the 4th hair dye during my stay in Japan. XDDD Seriously. I've dyed my hair four times during the week and a half I've stayed here. The hair dyes are so effin cheap! Like 500 yen! Which is less then 4 euros. Ha ha.
And I also bought some extremely awesome and great and amazing makeup products:
1. Fiberwig mascara. A few weeks ago I spotted this on Cupcake Couture (....I know, what?) and forgot it until I saw it in some cosmetics shop in Tokyo last week. I had to get it! It's like paint-on false lashes, and it's reeeeally easy to remove as well. I don't remember how much did it cost but it sure wasn't much.
2. One Day Tattoo eyeliner. Stays on forever (haha, not really) and it's REALLY hard to clean off - but it doesn't go all HFGHSGFSDFTATDFDF on my eyelid and it actually stays on. And it's waterproof! It was about 10 euros, so worth it.
3. One Day Tattoo eyebrow pen. This as well stays on for at least 24 hours, but is a little easier to remove than the eyeliner. Looks effin awesome. This was also about 10 euros~
4. Some random eyeshadow palette, 3 different shades of brown/beige and one black liner shadow thingy. 8D This is also awesome and it was quite cheap too.

I tried all of these an hour ago while Ellu had gone shopping (and just left me at the hotel 'cause I was moping and whining about being fat and ugly, lol - no wonder people run away from me at times, I wouldn't want to listen to me constantly whining either) and it looked... reasonably good. I just never wear any makeup so I quite suck at it but I'm getting there... someday! Luckily the eyeshadow palette has a color guide as in a little explanatory regarding which shade should be used on what part of the eyelid. Yay for making things easier for the lazy people like me! o/

I CAN DO IT.

And about me being fat by the way, I've only eaten two sad excuses for a bread and a banana and one salmiakki candy today - and drank a few sips of orange juice which Ellu got me as a stop-moping-and-start-smiling gift. And it's 9:05PM already. Ummm. Maybe I should eat something. But I don't want to 'cause then I'll get fat. Boo.

Hmmm... I'm not sure what we'll do on Friday yet. Maybe some more shopping, haha.
But on Saturday we'll go to Osaka-Jo Hall to see TOHOSHINKI. ♥ I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

Oh and Ellu bought herself a Jaejoong mug from one aidoru shoppu ("idol shop" for you katakana challenged people) near our hotel, haha. I almost bought some Gackt photos~ there were some of my favourite photos ever, from the Diabolos album photoshoots and stuff, in which he has some braids in his hair and stuff and is being reeeeally pretty. ;^; ♥

ALSO. I bought..................... Arashi posters in Harajuku a few days ago. Wtf self. Arashi. No freakin' way I'd become a fan of theirs for their music BUT THEY'RE CUTE and that's a reason good enough for me to buy their posters. I bought 5 posters; one group poster and four member posters. No Matsujun. XD Can't stand the guy's face. Dude looks like Michael Jackson at times. No offense, MJ, I like you but I don't like when other people look like you.

Also I want a mirror that has Aiba's face on it. 8DD;; HE'S SO CUTE. ;w; Why does he look so old compared to the rest in some of their group photos?
Oh and a few days ago we watched some j-drama on TV called The Quiz Show which has Sho in it. XD And then Gackt and T.M.Revolution were on TV singing their older songs (Another World and HIGH PRESSURE) ♥ lovely.

DAMN THIS IS GETTING LONG. Now I understand what my English teacher meant by me writing too long sentences. They're like paragraph long ones. Whutttttt.

O-o-o-o-o-sa-kaaaa~!

We're in Osaka now, oooh yeah. I can't wait for Saturday, but at the same time I don't want it to come just yet. XD Because on Monday we'll leave back home! ;___; And I don't want that. Noooo.

Our hotel is nice, it't close to everything and oh my god the people here are gorgeous. I don't know which city has better looking people, Tokyo or Osaka. I think it's a tie. BUT STILL. Ohgad.

I found the most awesome sock shop ever yesterday after our arrival to Osaka. A pair of uber cute socks for only 100 yen!! Which is less than one euro. I bought like 15 pairs. And I even bought more in Tokyo. Whooo. I like how cheap this country is - compared to Finland at least. I really don't get why people say that Tokyo an Osaka are like the two most expensive cities in the world. WHAT ARE YOU ON PEOPLE. Come to Helsinki and you'll see what expensive really means.

Oh and did I mention that while we were in Disneyland a few days ago I totally caught some people staring at me in the lines? Like, there were kids who pointed at me and then whispered something to their friends, pointing to their lips lolol 8D. Yay yay piercings are fun. (Which reminds me of that I found a piercing jewelry shop here in Namba. Should I get some new holes in my face or what? >8D .....no.)

I still can't get over the fact that the people here are gorgeous and when I eventually go back to Finland I'm just going to die and whine about how ugly all the people are. (Reminds me of a train trip with certain someone. "WHY ARE THE PEOPLE HERE SO UGLY?" Lol.)

NOW. It's 9 in the morning, I'm going to take a shower. Jeee.

Baaaaah, boring.

I was supposed to buy a school uniform today but I didn't find any that would fit me. D: Boo. Oh well, maybe I'll find some uniform shops in Osaka instead. Or something.

Bought the rest of the souvenir stuff today. Some jrock crap for Jansku and Emilia and some random crap for the rest. 8) And I collected some ~100 flyers I hope I'll be able to sell at Animecon, HAHAHA.

Also, today we went to Shinjuku, just to get to the 45th floor of a veeeery tall building to take the most cliche photos ever. Landscape pictures from a skyscraper, oh yay.

Tomorrow we're heading to Disneyland! Hopefully. We'll see. 8)
Tuesday will be our last night in Tokyo, and Wednesday morning we'll leave to Osaka! o/

AND NEXT SATURDAY I WILL SEE TOHOSHINKI. OOOOH YEAH.

TA DAH~
Ticketssss.

Today we saw Kanako Kawabata's ass at Shibuya 109 (girl should seriously pull up her pants) and at the Nippori train station we met the cutest street musician ever.


Click to see the larger version~

His name is Gin and we bought his CD for 1000yen. 8) Signed!! ♥ He's so cute, haha. He said thank you so so so many times when we bought his CD. :D
If he becomes famous some day, we can be like, "we've met this guy, we have his first single and autographs!" hahaha. He's like the new Japanese Weesung. Or Wang Lee Hom. Or something.

Haloo haloo~

OOOOOO MMMMM GGGGGGGGG.

OOOOOOOOH YEEEAAAAHHHH. Yesterday we got some "evidence photos" of our concert tickets. The shopping service guy had sent our tickets and there was a photo of the envelope in his e-mail. XD So a few minutes ago we were just hanging out at the lobby internettinglolol and this postman comes in and gives a VERY FAMILIAR LOOKING EMVELOPE to the lady at the front desk...... HMM.

WE

GOT

THE

TICKETS

OMG. They're so pretty. ;____; cries. WAAAAAAAAH.


NOW TO SHIBUYA 8) bye.

Akihabaraaaaaaaaa. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai. HAAAAAAAAI. HAI. HAVE A BROCHURE. DESU. HAI.
Ticket 01
[info]madventurous
Oh yay, we went to Akihabara today after our feet killing trip to Ueno Zoo. 8D ......We didn't see pandas!! ;___; Because the giant panda had died last year. 8( But we saw hippos. And elephants. And PENGUINS DFGDSHFDSFDS CUTE. 8D
I WILL NOT LEAVE THIS COUNTRY BEFORE I GET TO SEE PANDAS.

Akihabara was fun. I bought the cutest earphones ever, for my mp3-player. They're pink, and heart-shaped! ♥ And about 8736534 cellphone charms haha. There were TONS of them in that one electronics shop. My favourite was a real-life sized soft bagel charm. Wtf Japan.
We didn't go to maid cafes though. Yet. I WILL go one day, that's for sure!

Some Japanese guy talked to us today when we were walking to our ryokan. :D His English was quite good, hahaha.
"Where are you from??"
"...Finland?"
"Ah! Finrando!"
"Hai!"
He told us he had been to Helsinki uno time. (Yes he said uno instead of one. He said he had been to Spain and spoke fluent Spanish or something like that.)

Pro tip to everyone who's going to shop for food in Japanese 7-11's: nothing is what they're supposed to look like, so pick the one that looks nothing like the food you want to eat. In other words, if you're looking for grapefruit jelly goo, buy a juice bottle. If you think it's bread, it probably isn't.

Also, if you want to stalk Danger Gang members, go to Nippori Train Station. ;P We saw Hiko today, hahahaha.

AND, I repeat, this place is totally a dream come true for all you pedo noonas. You know when it's getting too far when you see an elementary schooler and you instantly think "omg cute" or "omg want". Or both. Yes, I know. Horrible, isn't it? I don't even know what going to Korea would do to me. 8<

SHIBUYA TOMORROW. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~

And! Our concert tickets were shipped today!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!

Lame desu.
Ticket 02
[info]madventurous
[info]anesthesy: I feel like saying something really lame right now.
[info]brailleun: Hmm?
[info]anesthesy: ...I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY ASIANS AT ONCE BEFORE.

Why is this place so cute jhdgfsfds. ♥♥♥
It's like... heaven for pedos, everything that walks past me is so cute that I'm gonna die and I just keep grinning at everything LOL.

We're hopefully going to see pandas today!! ♥ And all other cute and fluffy things. OvO We live actually almost right next to Ueno Zoo, only a few minutes walk away~

And yay everything is so cheap compared to Finland. Popteen costs 450yen. Which is like... 3 euros. I can't believe people are willing to pay 20 euros for them in Finland, HAAHHAHAHAAA.
And food is cheap too. Like seriously cheap. For the price of a chicken burger + fries in Finland you get the whole day's food here. I LIKE THIS. A lot. 'Cos I like food. If you can't tell. *cough*
Speaking of which, I ate something that had what looked like pork in it. o_O I'm not sure if it was just some sort of mushrooms or if it really was pork or whatever. It didn't taste like anything. Oh well, maybe it's time for me to quit this (semi-)vegetarian faggotry after seven years of not eating red meat, ahahaha.

MOM ARE WE THERE YET?!

Hohoho! I'm finally in Japan! I... can't quite believe it yet really. XD

The flight was pure boredom except for the fact that there were over 100 movies to watch. e__e Woot. Gotta love Air France.
Oh and while I reeeaaally don't like airplane food... I gotta say Air France has pretty good food. ~v~ Except for the eggplant pie. But no one likes eggplant anyway.

We had some troubles finding the ryokan we're staying at. The map we had was absolute crap and we walked a mile to the exact opposite direction we should have walked. Ahem. But then when we went to the right direction we found it quite easily. :3

My lunch today: one (1) onigiri, grapefruit juice and some fruit salad. Less than 1000 yen total. 8Db
Now methinks we should get something else to eat. o.o I'm starting to get hungry againnn.

ALSO, on the train from Narita airport to Ueno there was a visual kei-esque Japanese girl just right next to us. When she turned around I saw she had a GAZETTE badge on her bag. XD Awesome, I wonder if she saw my Gazette bag, haha.

It was so very uncomfortable sleeping on the plane (for those about 2 hours I got to sleep) so I'm really happy that the futons in this room are soooo soft and awesome. *-*
Is it weird for me to say that I can't wait to go to sleep tonight? Haha.

It was also kind of useless to get here via Paris since we flew above Finland as we left Paris. ~___~ Really, should have gotten here straight from Helsinki. BUT at least I can now say that I've been to France! Yays.

Every three minutes it's either too cold or too warm here. Wtf Japan. Why so ADD?

Sacre bleu, can I just express my strong dislike towards french children in public places? Especially if they're screaming like someone was chasing them with a knife. What are the parents thinking? (Oh. I almost forgot. They don't. It would require actual parenting.)

In other words, we're in Paris now! And wow is this airport huge. Our second plane will leave in about one hour, and it will be a 9 hour flight. At least. God damn.

Also, I've never liked airplane food.

First post!
Ticket 02
[info]madventurous
Yo, 'sup.

No more than about 9 hours until the plane leaves! Osm.

I'll spam this journal moar later, probably from the airport in Helsinki (& Paris) if I have time. 8D

GUESS HOW EXCITED I AM. 8DDDDDDDDDDD WHEEEE
