  1. I've arrived back in the States after two very fun and eventful weeks in Tokyo. Leaving was so hard, but I've made it my New Years resolution to start planning to move to Japan permanently this year. I haven't cried this much in a long time.

      My girlfriend lives in Tokyo and it was my first time being back in Japan in three years. From the second I got out of the airport, I could instantly feel the difference between Tokyo and Osaka, but I went to spend time with her, so I didn't care. We did a lot of fun, proper couple things together like go to Tokyo Disney Sea and Tokyo Tower and I ate a LOT of delicious food. I missed real Japanese cuisine, like okonomiyaki and such. I only ended up going to two lives because the bands I wanted to see weren't in Tokyo for the two weeks I was there, but I did end up seeing ゆくえしれずつれづれ and KAQRIYOTERROR on Christmas Eve (a very unique experience seeing such groups, especially as a foreigner) and JILUKA on my birthday, which was also Ricko's birthday live. The JILUKA live house was TINY, so it felt quite intimate and Ricko instantly noticed me as a foreigner and pointed right at me in the middle of one song and gave me a huge smile and thumb's up. Sena did the same a bunch of times. They talked a lot and I could only understand about a third of it, but the live itself was still a lot of fun. Afterward I got to see the side of VK that I didn't see when I was in Osaka before since I saw mostly metal bands (NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST, Deviloof, Dir en grey) where there was a huge queue for cheki and girls standing on the side of line holding up their unwanted cheki from members they didn't like. It felt a bit sad, and I thought that if Boogie or Zyean walked by, they'd be saddened by how few bangya wanted their cheki. I still find the concept of cheki itself a bit weird, but it's what sells the most and gets the band the most money. In the end, I ended up buying the live-exclusive blanket and muffler (the blanket is tiny and the muffler is actually misprinted, with the logo on the wrong side) and the XND t-shirt, which netted me a DVD for spending over 4000Y. I haven't watched it yet, but I can only assume it's something I'll only view one, at max.

       

      I could go on and on, but I don't want to bore. It was memorable and I didn't want to leave.

      Oh, yeah, Ricko and Sena do that xD it’s nice how they know their audience so well they immediately notice new faces. 

      They hold them out to trade, and Boogie is actually the most popular by far, seconded by Zyean currently, so the first girls at buppan were

      most likely Senagya and Rickogya. 

      OMG WHICH DVD DID YOU GET?!
