Yaaaay, ok so

1. BtR photobook
[MF]
Remember that one pic I posted on my LJ? All the pics are that size so it's no good if you're planning to read the text ~~unless you're good at reading smushed kanji~~ (although there's only like... a puny couple pages of those) but otherwise decent
All the pages are in there including the cover and back blah.

2. My friend's report of the Kokuritsu Arashi con she and Lynn went to.

Continuation from Nokogiri-yama post

I really liked Umi Hotaru. *o* Much easier to get to it and come back too Imho. >.>;;

Again, I went from Ikebukuro so this is if you're staying around the Tokyo area. If you're closer to Chiba you'll probably want to go from Kisarazu.

( How to get there + pics )

Mmmk so the two posts I've been putting off for who knows how long lol. Tbh, there's going to be at least one more post after these two because I still haven't posted my Asakusa pics yet either. =3=;; Meh.

Note #1: Might want to go with a friend... the rides are long and boring if you go alone. >.>
Note #2: If you're staying in the Tokyo area please leave the hotel early. LOL It will be a long trip.
Note #3: While it is possible to do it the way Koki and Kame did and just look at both this place and Umi Hotaru all in one go, there IS a loooot more to see than what they were able to see during ctkt. I kind of went out a little too late myself... orz

Ok! Soooo first off is Nokogiri-yama!

( How to get there + Pics )

Sooo... This is my 1000th post ROFL パチパチ... not. I need a life.

Anyway, like 50% of my posts are probably on these guys so I had to do something. =3= So a scribble!

Sorry, can you tell that I got reeeaaally lazy near the end? I was going to draw DBSK too, because (K)AT-TUN WAAAAAS supposed to just be small figures of 6 guys IN A ROW AT THE BOTTOM SO I'D HAVE MORE ROOM FOR THEM. ==; Rebels! Took over my whole page! LOL Soooo... At least DBSK's in there by name? >.>;; ~~Btw, don't ask me about Jin... Idk wth he's doing either... he was just bullying Taguchi in the beginning and then... this happened. Yeah. Idek~~. Oh oops, I forgot to color Taguchi's hair. LOL *fail*

An actual post including ranting about a certain fandom will come tomorrow (technically later today). >.>

You know you're bored when you watch the same clip 5 times in a row (literally). orz I may go on a search for other Zoom-in Saturday clips later...

Anyway, I guess you can call this more of a list of tips and whatnot for people who are planning to go to Japan in the future. Dear flist, you may have heard parts of this already.

First a little note on the Johnny's Shop @ Harajuku. Two ways of getting there. One is going to Harajuku by the JR, another way is going to Meiji-jingumae by Tokyo Metro and going out of exit 3 (can you tell that I've gone out of this exit quite a few times? lol). If you do the latter you will be exactly at the place where people start lining up in the morning to get into the shop. There's plenty of directions online in getting to the shop the JR way so I won't bother with that. My tip is to go to the JE shop on a WEEKDAY after 12pm. By then the morning crowd will (most likely) be gone, and there will be no line to get into the shop. Just go down the ally with the Play House and you'll see the Johnny's shop. The staff will be in navy blue or white.

Now the other place @ Harajuku... Takeshita Street... (it's right across the Takeshita exit of the JR Harajuku Station)
( pics and the text got long )

( The location of the JFC... so... hidden )

My sis is sleeping. I want to sleep too but at the same time... a;ldskfj

HMV and Tower Records @ Shibuya... it's fun looking at the new release thingies. =3=

( I wish I had the money for more CDs )

You know, doing this takes up more energy than it normally should...

Spot the Johnny's at various locations in Japan lol. I just took pics as I saw them for the most part.

( Lots of pics from here and there... a ton from Shibuya lol )

I have more JE related pics but those are from CD shops + FujiTV station so I'll just post those with the others... Wow, it's already 12am. I'm totally jet-lagged LOL

Also, one request type thing: I have a friend who is wondering if anyone could help her (+ another friend) ballot for Arashi's upcoming concert. She's willing to buy stuff or whatnot for the person who can help her (or knows someone who can help) and her friend of course. So please tell me if you can or happen to know anyone! Thanks ^^

/edit/ found the Ohno pic and added one more

Pics I took at Tokyo Dome...

( ladela I kinda wish I took more pics during BtR )

Sent some other pics to Connie but I don't even have those pics anymore lol.

I decided to make this easier for me in the future and just link everything together. I'll first just add the links here and the c&p it onto my other posts when I'm done lol.

♥ BtR con report 6/14

So yeah, my feet hurt. I don't feel any blisters but parts of my feet are still rather red. >.>;;

So again, I'll start off with when I got into the dome.

( Wow this turned out ridiculously long and Kame-biased... )

I didn't realize how much my mind only filters Kame related things until just now. LOL orz I swear that I didn't even focus on Kame THAT much during the con but it's all that my mind remembers. 不思議... x.x *slaps brain for being so Kame-biased*

It was raining when the con ended. x.x After the con the adrenaline ran out and I started feeling the pain in my foot from standing in high heels for so long. Dx My feet still hurt so I don't want to go out. orz How I'm going to eat, Idk.

I don't regret it though. :D It was so much fuuuuuun~~ and I spent so much money on goooooods~ I'll probably spend even more money when I go visit the Johnny's shop and whatnot. orz

One day I'll save enough money to go to another one of the concerts ~~Connie come with me next time whenver it iiiis D:~~. It was way awesome. ;-; I envy the people who can enjoy going to KAT-TUN's various events. But for now I'm just glad that I was lucky enough to go watch such an awesome concert twice.

Oh yeah, today the line of fans standing out of the station asking for tickets was really long. x.x It extended into the station and all the way out. My friend who sat in the back said that she sat nearby a family who were all screaming. LOL A mom that was screaming JIIIN a younger girl screaming KOKIII and a little boy screaming UEDAAA LOL

/edit/ if I remember more I'll add it... and sorry about my grammar and spelling but I hate typing on my dad's computer so I don't want to go over and check everything. ==;

/edit 2/ General things I forgot. Since I was in the arena this time I looked back at the stands a couple of times and the way they used the lazers and lights to give the arena people a view of visuals behind the stands was really woah too. The lazers and lights made patterns on the dome ceiling at times too...

/edit 3/ oops, forgot WATER DANCE >.>

I'M BACK FROM KAT-TUN'S LAST DAY OF TOKYO DOME. AS;FJKASLFD

I DON'T THINK THAT I CAN DO A PROPER REPORT ATM. AHAHAHA EVERYTHING'S A JUMBLE IN MY HEAD, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AT WHAT SONG. 8D;;;

KAME'S ;SKLJFA;SFJK
UEDA'S SMILE IS SOOOO CUTE
MARU'S SOOOO ".____." FACE
JIN'S SO... I'M NOT QUITE SURE ACTUALLY. BUT HE DROVE FANS CRAZY TODAY LOL
TAGUCHI'S THE ONE I SAW CLOSEST THE MOST DURING SONGS BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MOVING PLATFORM THING AND MY ARENA BLOCK WAS RIGHT NEXT TO IT... HE LOOKED COOL BUT HE'S THE SAME LAME DUDE LOL
KOKI'S KOKIIIII AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE KOKI

K, I'll stop with the caps now. xD But yeah, the arena seat I was in was close enough to see the guys when they were around the right side/main stage/beginning half of the walkway to the center stage... I was too short to see the center all too well though. But after ~3 years of being a fan I finally got to see them live and close enough to see their faces ;o;

Anyway, yeah, my feet hurt. I wore my wedges because I was in the arena and I'm short as heck (and good thing I did... not sure how much I would've seen without them).

I think that it was a great idea to go yesterday and see the full con properly before sitting in the arena today. I wouldn't have known 1/2 the things I saw back there if I only watched from the arena. x.o But for some weird reason I found the MC harder to understand while in the arena... or maybe my brain went on vacation ahahahaha. Well truth be told I only ate 2/3 a cheese dog + some chips today. xP Maybe I was too excited but I wasn't feeling all that hungry today... but it's kinda hitting me now. @-@ It could also be that I was too high and so everything just went in one ear and out the other...

Since I can't piece together what went where... I'm just going to post what I remember about the guys. >.> I'll try to do a proper report tomorrow so you can skip this if you want. It'll probably be repeated in my report tomorrow. xD

( My brain died as I went on with this so the amount I wrote got smaller and smaller... uhh I'll fix that during tomorrow's proper report )

This girl... woman... sitting next to me was so weird/scary though. O-o;; She looked like she was going to a prom or something, seriously. But she had a fan made Kame uchiwa but she was like ":|" for the majority of the con. By the middle of the con she was kinda shaking her penlight but seriously... O-o;;

I got to turn on my penlight for the light thingy at the end. 8D It was really pretty as usual. And this time I got to look up at the stands and see the pretty lights. :D We got a 2nd encore and some people got balloons. :< Not fair, I want a balloon.

Oki, it's 12am and I should probably sleep. ♥ you all! I don't think that I'll be able to walk much tomorrow ~~I feel blisters forming~~ so I'll be sure to write more when my brain functions again. xD

I ♥ KAT-TUN.

I don't remember the setlist... *goes to find it* Ok I'll start off with going into the dome...

( Idk how it ended up this long but w/e xP )
So yeah, the con was AMAAAAAAZING. ♥!!! I'm super glad that I got to go to this con. *o* KAT-TUN 最高! I had huge expectations but this was even better! Like seriously. I had binoculars because I thought that I would need it to look at stuff but I only used it a few times when I was done looking at the whole stage. I could probably do without one a second time just to see the whole stage work its magic again. >.< a;fjkf Sadly Idk if a DVD would be able to capture everything that went on the stage with Break the Records... They'd need like various angles. Dx

Anyway, to my f-list: anyone want any specific goods from the con or anything? (of the smaller stuff) I refuse to go in line again but if it's available within the dome I can buy it there.

Oh, the mob of people flooding out of the dome was really... like... @-@ And the spot in front of gate 22 was always like crowded because of the KAT-TUN con banner thing that's up there. There was aaaalways people standing there taking pics. The goods line also always had people from morning -> night. O-o'' Of course it was much shorter as time went by, but I don't think it was ever empty.

Maybe I should buy paparazzi pics... I decided against it because I already wasted a lot of money but... Idk. Maybe I'll take a better look at the pics today. x.x

So, I'm posting earlier than I thought, but that's ok. I've had a crap days and I NEEDED this. T-T Things happened... *sigh* So, the album that everyone's spazzing about!

I'm just going to play the album from beginning to end and review everything. Even the old songs.

( On to my ramble! )

My complaint: I KNEW IT. IT'S 1/2 LYRICS. =____= Can we like, get a proper incentive to buy both versions next time? I forgive you this time because the songs are awesome, but I knew that the pics would be 1/2 lyrics. a;slfkja;sdf The guys look nice though. Very mature looking.

Overall: Now I'm 100% sure that this is my 2nd favorite KAT-TUN album so far. 8D ~~And tbh, I don't really see any album beating Best of.~~ I'm so impatient for this album's release. x.o I want it in my hand noooooow. Before the album started leaking, I was a bit worried because THSK's The Secret Code kinda depressed me. It was like "guh, what if I hate this album too?". So I was pleasantly surprised to find that the album sounded awesome as the leaks started coming out. *______*

K, now that I flailed about the album all over again, I feel better. Going to sleep now. ♥
Buy this albuuuuuum. At some point even if you don't now.
I hope this post made sense... it's really late. @-@
