I check out of my hotel in the morning and deposit my luggage at a Locker in Shinjuku, then I head over to Ikebukuro Sunshine City at 9am to line up for my Priority Viewing and Handshake of Juice=Juice Single Release Event at 6pm. There is not much of a queue.
My number is 74 and I was there on the dot at 9am
After this I set out on a little excursion to Mitake Shosenkyo, in Kofu City,
Yamanashi Prefecture. I was hoping to catch some autumn colour,
but I am too early. Anyhow it was a nice refreshing hike. I chat a
while with a very nice Ojisan. He offered to bring me around Kamakura
when I am back in Tokyo but I politely Declined. Sorry Ojisan.
The "hike" starts at the top of the mountain
Most of it looks like this. Many of the rocks have names like "Cat Rock" and "Bear Rock" or "Mushroom Rock"
Photo Opportunity. Most of the people doing this trail are old people or couples.
Sengataki Waterfall
The trail follows the Arakawa River to the Base of the Mountain. Not Related to the Arakawa river in the Anime "Arakawa under the Bridge"
I didn't see any bears though
I did see Gozilla
An Obasan told me this view would be very nice when the leaves turn red. What a pity. The blue sky is Lovely.
I almost stepped on this Bugger.... Almost peed in my pants :____;
Finally we have reached the bottom!
I head back to Ikebukuro Sunshine City
Fountain Area for J=J Mini Live and Handshake. They have a guest
Bartender who does cool Bar Tricks for us. Non-alcoholic Drinks of
course. Juice, in fact. As she does her routine to J=J
music, the wota chants her name. She is very delighted hahaha.
J=J then perform a few songs. It is a
week day so there arent many people, I am standing about 5 people
away from the stage which is pretty near. Kanatomo is so cute and
when she sings, you can tell she really enjoys it. Chan San's dance
is very fierce and perfect. Reminds me Aichan sometimes.
There are 2 JK next to me. They shout
for Kanatomo and Aari. Sometimes mix in a Yuka. They chatter
throughout the whole event. Im not complaining. I love to Eavesdrop
on other people. Especially Female Wota. Keke.
For the Handshake, I tell Yuka she is
cute (She really is in real life) she gives the "iie iie"
thingy which cracks me up. I forget what I said to Sayubee and Chan
San, probably something like, their singing is good. Chan San's
eyes are HUGE. Even bigger than Komorins'
When it is Kanatomo's turn, I tell her
she is my Oshi. in which she replies "ARIGATOU! URESHII!"
and gives me the biggest Kanatomo smile EVER. I beam back at her.
ahhh~~
Aarii is last and I think that she
heard me say that I am a Kanatomo Oshi, so things were a little weird
between us. She has that air-head feel about her anyway. But Aarii is
really cute too. Especially when she does that head tilt thing
The live is over and I have to collect
my bags from Shinjuku station to catch my night bus (11.5 hours) to
Okayama. Despite having gone to this exact same Highway Bus station
before, I still manage to lose my way and have to backtrack (once).
Anyhow, I get there on time and set off
to Okayama~
