DAY TWO [20090721]: KABUKI-ZA THEATRE, AKAMON & IKEBUKURO

It was a seriously a tiring day cos of so much standing and walking. It didn't help that I slept late too. Well anyway cousin and I started off with a morning chillout in Starbucks that was located at the Ueno train station

Matcha Blended Cream Frappuccino for the morning! Singapore sells it as well, but I usually stay away from Starbucks cos I'll pick Coffee Bean anytime over Starbucks here. But in Japan, there's no Coffee Bean lol. The first thing I did was to taste the whipped cream (i kind of stay away from Starbucks too cos i think the whipped cream in Singapore's Starbucks sucks) and omg! it is very smooth and fluffy! it just looks abit more solidified than your usual milk froth on top of your hot coffees! ahhhhhhhhhhhh. so *nods* i visited Starbucks there like how i visit Coffee Bean. hehehehehe.


We headed for Kabuki-za theatre located in Ginza to catch a single Kabuki show. Kabuki's the traditional japanese dance-drama. We specially made a trip there to catch a performance because Kabuki-za theatre, Japan's premier kabuki teathre, will be torn down next year to be replaced by another building! Yeahh. We caught the single show known as Kaijin Besso. It lasted about one and a half hours, from about 1:15pm till around 2:45pm. The prince looked like a real-life version of Bleach's Kuchiki Byakuya! kyaaaaa~ He had the long hair with similar headpiece hohoho. and the aura too.

Inside the theatre... haha and my attempt to do an Adorkable Aoi blog photo pose. MEGA FAIL AHAHA. I don't think Aoi grins stupidly the way I did lol but i found it so funny doing that... and TOO FAT COMPARED TO AOI-SHI~ Sigh. why are they all so skinny. they are skinny but muscular at the same time. is that possible. (ok im digressing and thinking to myself cos i saw Kai's latest magazine photos and was shocked to see a picture of him baring his chest in full glory and omg HE IS SO BUILT lol even Uruha! that skin and bones pretty man! i've seen him with awesome arms before in some photos they just grow muscles or smth omg! OMG HOW! HOW DO THEY DO THAT. this world is unfair.)


After Kabuki-za we stopped by HongoSanchome - home of Tokyo University! (you can totally see the uni shit seeping in me... visiting Todai for the fun of it? lol...) The Red Gate (Akamon) is quite a landmark... so... yeah. haha. Took photos there. Oh! Cousin's favourite JRock band Nightmare had a photoshoot there too... and we started to wonder how the scenario was like. Normal University students meet upcoming Visual Kei stars... LOL.

Headed off to Ikebukuro next! By then it was around late afternoon, transiting to evening. Ikebukuro's where all the big departmental stores are located! We also saw many techie buildings like this one - i call it the SEGA building hahaha i have no idea what building it actually is. LOLOL. Well in Ikebukuro we just walked around and shopped.

Passed by HMV and we entered. Saw free flyers at the front, just outside the store and picked up the free DIM flyer. Also took the free HMV magazine that has the GazettE on cover! Inside i found a few magazines that was on my to-buy list (Songs, Fool's Mate, Shoxx) so i got them. Basically after this trip i was just lacking the magazine Arena 37C.. but the trip to HMV at Ikebukuro was spontaneous - i actually planned to visit HMV only on the next day at Shibuya. It was raining though, so the DIM flyers got abit of water on the edge, but it dried up nicely! they look as good as new!


Cousin and I ended up spending the most money on cosmetics in Kokkumin - this watsons-like chain store in Japan that sells tons of cosmetics too. i spent like around 20,000 odd yen there LOL that's like 300odd dollars?! WHAT WAS I THINKING... well anyway, We shopped Uniqlo too.

The salesperson in Kokkumin was very nice. They're not the sticky kind that follows you all around but when you need help they give you all the help you need. I was very amused and interested in this thermometer-like thing they used though. I was looking for a makeup base and so i asked the lady where is it. She took out this thingy and then pressed the tip against my cheek. Then (just like a thermometer) it beeped, and she showed me the reading, with the number 29%. It's supposed to mean my skin's moisture content... so from the reading she deduced i've got oily T-zone (cos she noticed my acne, i wasn't wearing any makeup that day at all) and dry cheeks - what you call your combination skin type. She then went on to recommend a suitable base. They don't push you to buy things at all either. And whether you buy one item or many, they shower you with samples as if it's free flow. I ended up going back with more samples than actual items lol!

Well basically that's for Day Two. I wanted to combine Day Three in this entry but I'm too tired. I actually almost fell asleep just now when i just lied on my bed for less than a minute. i struggled and only crawled up again 20mins later. Arghhhh so tired! I think my Tokyo stuff will end up having one entry for each day hoho. so guys good luck and have fun reading! hehehe.

おやすみ～

p/s: happy birthday Eric! my 3am buddy :D たんじょうび　おめでとう！
