Day 1: Harajuku/Shibuya

On our first day we were going to wander around a few places, but ended up mostly just in the Harajuku and Shibuya area. We started out late, and headed straight to the Johnny’s Shop (I didn’t go on my last trip) for Popcorn shop photos. I also got a couple of Eito pics, but not as many as I would like to. Still ended up spending more than I thought >_<

We walked to Harajuku from Omotesando station, where we saw… Sho-kun! Lots and lots of him XD. Really it was Kelly who saw the posters and had to tell me three times before I focused and saw what she was pointing at ^^;

More Sho-kun and other pics under the cut 🙂

Long Overdue Trip Post #6-8: Kobe, Johnny’s Family Club

The day after the concert Salwa and I left Fukuoka very early in the morning, stopping at Shin-Kobe just around lunch time. In Kobe we met with an old friend of mine, who recently moved there from Osaka. He and his wife took us to lunch and around town, which was really nice of them, and I’m really glad I got to see them, because usually I only go to Tokyo and never get to see my friends who live elsewhere. Anyway, besides picking up lots of Hitachi and AU pamphlets, we didn’t see or do anything Arashi-related, but I did find this place that sold unofficial phone straps:

Day 12: Johnny’s Family Club, Mandarake

Second to last day here. Tomorrow I’m meeting friends, so today’s really the last of my Arashi related posts from here.

Shi-chan and I went to JFC and only just missed Arashi’s video message, so we stuck around for a little more than half an hour to wait for it to play again. It was fun watching the other vids too, especially by Tackey & Tsubasa and Kanjani8. Speaking of K8, two of our friends went to Ichikawa to get their concert goods, and they’re so much nicer than the Arashi con goods. Now I really want a K8 tote bag…
