[dim owl]

smart move

[brave valley]

The sea of clear and black umbrellas tho lol

[prime sandal]

my friend forgot 3 umbrellas already

[brave valley]

[uneven yacht]

If there's wind, bye clear umbrella

I once bought it, and I got out of the store. It died the second after

😂😂

[brave valley]

Lol I bought this collapsible sun one from donki and it is truly trash

[uneven yacht]

Yea that's why japanese buy those cheap umbrellas because they keep forgetting it 😂

[prime sandal]

Yep

[brave valley]

This 490 yen clear umbrella is such an upgrade

[prime sandal]

I brought my own collapsible umbrella

still got it obviously

[uneven yacht]

But for this amount of rain, I should have bought a bigger one

When picking one, I was like why would I need a big umbrella

[dim owl]

ive never thought on being intrested in an umbrella conversation

[brave valley]

The cheap collapsible umbrellas are traumatizing

Also I’m glad this is cheap. I definitely can’t bring it home

[plush glade]

@long veldt I've been in the hotel for a couple of hours. I only slept 2 hours this morning. I'm gonna catch up on sleep now. Do you know if mel has changed his mind about the old album? Will it still be there tomorrow?

[honest tapir]

all yours

[plush glade]

All good mel. Just wondering about it's availability in general or if it's something that needs to be bought quickly. I have no clue lol.

I guess I could go there now but I'm feeling like sleeping.

I put the TV on the for the first time since getting here and it's kinda interesting it's just novel to watch lol.

[honest tapir]

[long veldt]

No promises that it’ll be there tmw

[plush glade]

Unless someone else wanted it

[uneven yacht]

Yeah, still not confirmed. I'll tell you tomorrow

[full knoll]

There were only 500 shirts available?? That's nuts

[brave valley]

If you guys are going to be still in Tokyo and want non-reservation omakase, Sushi Dai was great!

https://maps.app.goo.gl/bzSZ5oQWuyrCYccq8

They start taking time slot appointments at 5am. The earliest time slot is 6am. We’ve gotten here at 4am for two different days and we’ve been 4th in line.

It’s also really really cheap for omakase. I feel like it was 6500yen pp

[uneven yacht]

Thanks

[brave valley]

The oyster is amazing. Please get it (it’s a la carte)

They also do the tuna auctions at 5:30am if you wanted to see those after you get your time slot reservation

[plush glade]

My last day today. Let me know if any of you are doing anything tonight. I have no set plans.

[brisk pagoda]

Morning folks

Honestly when I get most of my work done

The weekends are when the working crowd and families are out and about

[brisk pagoda]

That’s why I picked to work on the weekends so I don’t have to deal with a lot of people during the weekends

270 emails in 2 days from my work lmao

[uneven yacht]

[brisk pagoda]

I won’t be answering them for 2 weeks so good luck getting a hold of me haha, only person who can teams me from work is my boss and I knows she knows I ain’t even gonna bother lmao.

[mellow sierra]

Wait that’s so smart. I could avoid coworkers at the same time

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah and I don’t work for 4 days unless I have to , and during those 4 days is the week days so no not a lot of people outside when I got out

[brisk pagoda]

Also for those of you who I met, didn’t meet. But still was able to see NewJeans for one day, or two. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your vacation, and those who left after the concert. I hope you all have an amazing 1st concert with this Japan fan meeting.

There's the details and the address

Its out in Kanda

@brisk pagoda So you're coming? I just need to know so I can email the organizer for a second ticket

Yes, that’s why I asked if it’s cash or card so I’m prepared lol

[long veldt]

She will sign anything that you buy 😄

So if you buy a CD, she'll sign it for you

[brisk pagoda]

Get it signed yes

[uneven yacht]

Anything

[long veldt]

Almost anything 😄

Hard to sign a keychain lol

I've seen Kaco before and she's great

Very intimate show. Maybe a few dozen people, her with some supporting members. Its just pure singing.

@brisk pagoda In honor of New Jeans and Minji

Here's some Kaco for you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHyJXiGfAlk

I would tell you to do any last minute shopping you need to do as well

[rocky kestrel]

[plush glade]

I’ve been super familiar with Japan from watching hundreds of hours of streams so it felt like a place I knew already weirdly enough BUT I wasn’t prepared for how much I loved it here

And I barely did anything

And yeah despite watching a lot I still very easily forget what foods and places are called. Bad with names. Forgot who is who I met names too easily too lol sorry.

I’ve been to so few major areas of this city too.

[honest tapir]

[brisk pagoda]

4 hours in the making of Harry Potter lmao

Also their desserts are good....which I was not supposed to get till I caved in lmao

[feral wraith]

The wands here doesn't have the interaction

[mellow sierra]

Where is that omg

Nvm I scrolled down

[plush glade]

im back at hotel. barely alive

[gritty rivet]

But with a vynil

[plush glade]

yeah takeshita street. the image in the keychain is kinda lower res than youd hope but it's clearly cheap made it's cool to find

@long veldt btw can you tell me a bit about this vinyl

i didnt really know what i was getting

i know the song ofc lol just asking what makes it that price

and also where is that price printed i see no receipt you could have scammed me lol

[long veldt]

@honest tapir im heading to the record shop. Be there in 30

[long veldt]

They remove the sticker when I buy it

But here’s a picture

If you zoom in

You’ll see 9350

[plush glade]

cool thanks i see

just wonder why it costs that much. i see a 2021 copyright on the back so it's pretty recent

and used

[honest tapir]

I'm here is it inside the mall

[long veldt]

It’s a reprint from 2021. Limited to 50,000

[plush glade]

oh limited. cool

[long veldt]

But the history behind it is why it’s so valuable

[plush glade]

nice to have

[long veldt]

Not sure

[plush glade]

honestly id like a seiko matsuda hanni solo song vinyl more than this i like the song more and akso im hanni bias officially now

[long veldt]

lol you should have told me that

There were some vinyls that had that song on it

But if you mean this one?

I have found only one and I kept it

[plush glade]

yeah i know. i only said yes to when you asked me about plastic love

i should have said something

oh well

[long veldt]

The bottom one has a few

[plush glade]

i WILL be coming back to tokyo so it's fine\

[long veldt]

As for why the song and album is so expensive

Plastic love is considered one of the first city pop songs and an extremely iconic song of the entire genre

It is by far the most well known city pop song

And basically help to define that entire genre

It surged in popularity when city pop became really popular again

And got remixed as a club mix which made it go viral

They released the song again as part of a new vinyl reprint

If you wanted the actual original one from 1984

I’ve seen 2 in my hunts

And both are like 30,000

[honest tapir]

ok yeah it's in a mall

[long veldt]

What is funny is

The picture on the vinyl

Is not the original album art

It’s from another song and a 7 inch vinyl

This one

[honest tapir]

Haha i read something about that

[dim owl]

[long veldt]

The original version

The entire album

In like that brown sticker on front

They added it as a freebie with the reprints

But that’s how the original album looked

[long veldt]

I’m two stops away

@honest tapir walking to you now

[honest tapir]

ok im at the store

[long veldt]

Sorry took a wrong turn

Lumine or hankyu?

[honest tapir]

[uneven yacht]

You didn't lose weight but you lost your hair by walking

[brisk pagoda]

This mf lmao

[mellow sierra]

Thank you. Dw I didn’t expect it to be hand sculpted and each a work of art

[uneven yacht]

I mean as long as it's newjeans, isn't it a work of art ?

https://tenor.com/view/arthur-simp-gif-18875109

[mellow sierra]

Tru

You learned well in simp school 🛐

[mellow sierra]

Who was your bias before? Or previously undecided

[uneven yacht]

U trying to get into Fujiwara again

[brisk pagoda]

Oh no

I'm just lost in thought today, so I went to a noisy place to organize my mind.

[uneven yacht]

You missing gf

I was in Shinjuku and it's just awful

[mellow sierra]

Is the popup store still worth trying? I read the pin but maybe it’s cooled off after the fanmeet is over?

[uneven yacht]

I prefer my quiet neighborhood where I can walk around peacefully

[uneven yacht]

Apparently to get a ticket it's the same thing, but they give it in another area

I still think it's a mess

[mellow sierra]

Thanks

I’ll see how much courage I have Tmr morning to go into war

[plush glade]

I was never undecided I just really like all five of them a lot and feel like picking one over the others is wrong, but since everyone does it and since Hanni keeps popping up for me in EVERYTHING I buy randomly (albums, merch, gacha) and I already kinda like the Niniz the most because of speaking English then I might as well admit to myself that she is my bias lol SOrry for the essay

[brisk pagoda]

Lmao maybe...but that's not the cause lmao.

[plush glade]

Anyway I need to pack and see if all my stuff fits in my suitcase because I bought a lot. If not I'm buying a new suitcase. I'll be busy figuring things out for a couple of hours even though I'm hungry I need to concentrate. Speak later. Hopefully I'll have time later to do more fun stuff. Bit stressful right now tbh.

[honest tapir]

if you have a b1 reservation, that works on 2f too

[mellow sierra]

I love the essay don’t be sorry. Channel your inner hanni, 3+ pages next time

You didn’t pick the hanni life. Hanni life picked you

[plush glade]

Also now I'm Hanni bias I can stop collecting OT5 and spending too much. Now I can focus and spend less.

Anyway I need to concentrate. Later

[uneven yacht]

I literally elbowed ppl

[plush glade]

Also MrT thanks for the explanation earlier.

[uneven yacht]

And climbed to get my ticket

[plush glade]

Sorry I',m the type of person to forgot to thank until later. I'll speak later

[mellow sierra]

Better elbowing than getting elbowed

[uneven yacht]

Right ?

A girl was getting her face crushed, nobody wanted to let her leave that's why I started throwing elbows 😂

[mellow sierra]

And this was today?

[uneven yacht]

Two days ago lol, but I asked someone and he told me it was kind of the same

So idk, it could change

[uneven yacht]

[plush glade]

Good idea

[harsh relic]

I need to hire someone to be there for ashbash like a kdrama

[plush glade]

Sigh

Anyone doing anything

I’m so bad at keeping track of who’s left in Japan

[gritty rivet]

Loose your passport so ur stuck for 2 more weeks

I assume people doing stuff right now aren’t reading this

[honest tapir]

[gritty rivet]

[plush glade]

What the bell Korea has Japanese TV too? Didn’t expect that.

[plush glade]

I was worried my stuff wouldn’t fit in my suitcase but I spent a long time sorting it out and it’s all good. Bloody hard work that was.

[gritty rivet]

I worry about that since 2 months

[uneven yacht]

Ok non sense again

[gritty rivet]

I could probably still pack better to fit more but idk how

[plush glade]

Do it like Japanese cashiers where they pack things so nicely.

[honest tapir]

[rocky kestrel]

the moment u open up ur suitcase everything starts flying around

also auld lang syne in the store means its almost closing time right

[plush glade]

Yeah or it’s a New Year.

Happy 2025.

[rocky kestrel]

i thought its a christmas song not a new years song

[plush glade]

It’s a British song I should know.

Well anyway everyone sings it after the fireworks end in London.

After the New Year fireworks.

…
I don’t know what to do

[halcyon venture]

https://tenor.com/view/donki-japan-mascot-cute-penguin-gif-16730888

[plush glade]

I feel like the last things I should do should be more than just exploring and shopping like I’ve been doing today.

Any suggestions?

I don’t know what you can do on Saturday night.

[brisk pagoda]

Saturday night is drinking night for a lot of Japanese people

[plush glade]

I know. I don’t want to drink much because of flying.

[violet solstice]

I was seriously thinking about tossing my passport into the water while I was in Odaiba

[brisk pagoda]

So they'd be in places like yakitori places and such

Go to some yakiniku places Ash

[mellow sierra]

Ginza?

[plush glade]

Isn’t it similar to Korean bbq?

What’s in Ginza?

[long veldt]

Yakiniku is Korean bbq essentially

[plush glade]

Yeah. I should try something different.

[long veldt]

Ramen

Open late

[gritty rivet]

Did u try Unagi yet

[plush glade]

No

[long veldt]

It’s eel

So not sure how you feel about it since it’s seafood

It’s really good and in season atm

[mellow sierra]

All the expensive stuff. Watches matcha name brands

[plush glade]

I mean I’ve barely tried much sushi in my life until VERY recently and I’m unsure about it

[uneven yacht]

Missing your fish n chips don't u

[plush glade]

Eh fish and chips is overrated

[violet solstice]

Go to Hub

[plush glade]

What’s that emote suggesting. What’s Hub?

[long veldt]

It’s a bar

[violet solstice]

Lol no need for that edit MrT

[plush glade]

It’s a bad

[honest tapir]

yes unagi

[violet solstice]

It’s BAD

[uneven yacht]

I mean with the few hours you get left, it's either you exploring the city more/ get good food/ drink in izakaya/ UFO catchers

But that's it

[long veldt]

Don’t actually go there

[plush glade]

I’m actually falling asleep lol

[long veldt]

Go to sleep

[uneven yacht]

Don't know what you expecting

[plush glade]

Need to force myself out

[long veldt]

[uneven yacht]

[gritty rivet]

[uneven yacht]

[plush glade]

Huh

Oh

[violet solstice]

Pregame now, hit club at 12AM, start heading to airport at 5AM

[long veldt]

Just sleep and wake up on time

Good move

[plush glade]

I’ll come back

[uneven yacht]

That's the voice of reason

[long veldt]

If your place has a tub

[plush glade]

10000% coming back

[long veldt]

Soak in the bath

[plush glade]

I had a shower already

[uneven yacht]

Not the same

[long veldt]

Soak in the bath to relax

Shower is for cleaning

Bath is for relaxing

[brave valley]

Soaking in the bath in Japan do hit different

[plush glade]

Ok I will

[long veldt]

And with 100% less other naked men

[brave valley]

I left tokyo finally so I’ll send photos of the mountainside tomorrow

[plush glade]

I was talking to my nan and convinced her she needs to come lol. My mum said she doesn’t want to fly 13 hours but I said it’s worth it if you stay long enough.

[brave valley]

@uneven yacht tbh you should also get gyukatsu

[plush glade]

I hope a next time in Japan isn’t far away.

I got the get a good job charm from Meiji Jingu lol.

[uneven yacht]

Tried motomura

It's the only meal I regret since 17 days being here

Meat had no flavors, no textures so it was really meh

[plush glade]

I’m in bath already and you’re right.

Hope I don’t fall asleep here lol

Everything bad happens in shinjuku. Cannot be convinced that I like this city at all

[mellow sierra]
