I went and got my おみくじ "omikuji", a fortune written on strips of paper at Shinto shrines in Japan.
I got 大吉 "daikichi", Great blessing~ yay! I hope this year's gonna be good as well

After a grueling 1 1/2hour drive back to Tokyo, we stopped by the
POKEMON CENTER


They were playing the same melody that you hear when you enter the pokemon center in the pokemon games. I found myself humming along to the tune and the kids inside the store were staring at me like i'm some overgrown kid. o(*//∇//*)o

I was a huge fan of Pokemon when it first aired in Singapore bout 10years(??) ago, the Indigo League.
I collected cards, games and pretty much anything i could get my hands on back then.
good times, good times~~

=================================================================

****************** NEWS IN HARAJUKU******************

Ok here comes the CRAZY afternoon i had in HARAJUKU.
After leaving the Pokemon center, we traveled down to Harajuku for a little shopping.

I used to just walk over to Harajuku's Takeshita Dori after school.
Since my school was just over in Shibuya~ its about a 20mins walk over.

Anyway, back to the story!

I was doing my own shopping while the rest of the tour were checking out Harajuku.
I couldnt really find anything i really liked (shocking i know), so i decided to get out of Takeshita Dori and back to the meeting point.


THEN COMES THE STUPIDEST MOFO HAPPENING THAT I WAS VERY UNFORTUNATELY CAUGHT IN-BETWEEN.

I was caught in a mofo STAMPEDE with hundreds of freaking high schoolers and teenage boys and girls in the extremely narrow Takeshita Dori
(ok this might be HEAVEN for some of you guys)


HELL!
I thought i was gonna get crushed and die right there.
I saw this girl like 5feet away from me fall and got stepped on.

I tried to go over but the crowd was just crazy, i couldnt move for the life of me.
Poor girl, nobody could help her even if they wanted to.


SO WHAT CAUSED THIS MASS PANIC????
Rumours started spreading around that Pop idol group
"HEY SAY JUMP"
will be performing a secret Live concert in Takeshita Dori and the rumours just kept spreading.
And before you know it, the mass crowding became a mofo STEMPEDE..


Thank god the police came and handled the situation and i got out alive and well.
At the end of the day, did any POP IDOL GROUP made an appearance?

NO!

All that crap for nothing and 4 poor girls got hospitalized in this mayhem.

(I just wana add on that this is not something that happens in Takeshita Dori. I've been frequently going to Harajuku during my school years in Tokyo and this has NEVER happened before.)

=================================================================



I'm starting to question that Fortune. Doesn't seem like a very good start.
Anyhows, thank you for listening to my rant. its good to let that out.

Ok, after the crazy Harajuku incident
We went for dinner at the infamous

ALACRATZ Horror Hospital Theme Restaurant

=================================================================


After dinner we drove pass Tokyo Tower for a short picture session.
and here, we were in for a very big and romantic surprise.

Under the Tokyo Tower,
Calvin (one of the tour members) got down on his knee
and PROPOSED to his girlfriend (now fiancee) Wendy~!!!

of course she said yes~~

aaaah~ I've never witness a proposal before!
omg it was sooo sweet and romantic!

That definitely made up for the crazy mayhem in the afternoon.
What a way to end the night~~~

Peipei and myself went over to the
BUNKA HOSO 文化放送 booth to meet up with their producer Sato-san.

*Bunka Hoso* is a Popular Radio Station in Japan that features many Seiyuu shows and POP idol like "NEWS, AKB48, HEY SAY JUMP".

We met Sato-san during MAYN's concert in Malaysia where he was there
to record the concert for MAYN's show in Bunka HOso.

Bunka Hoso's booth had many special quests throughout the 2days of exhibition.
When we were at the booth, K-ON MIO's Seiyuu Hikasa Yoko just finished her appearance at the
BUNKA HOSO stage.

Sato-san was very kind to introduce us to the staffs and director of Bunka Hoso.
Sato-san printed out a big ass picture of my Vocaloid Ruka cosplay and talked to the director about MYnT and the work we're doing.

And before i knew it, he decided to put me on stage to talk about MYnT and answer a few questions with the Emcee.
I never thought i'll be going on stage during this trip not to mention a live broadcast. (#>_<#*) It was a 15minute decision and he was like "ok, your going on in 5mins"

WAD! i had 5mins to calm my nerves and think of what to say.
I'm already worried bout my keigo not to mention stage fright @_@

Everything went fine.. i think. i'm not sure LOL.
I'll try to put the video here when i get it from Peipei.

(with the Emcee, Peipei and another Staff)

======================================================================

After TAF. Peipei and myself went over to meet
Kamiisaka-san and Iwakura-san for dinner.
Both whom we met during MAYN's Concert as well.

Kamiisaka-san is a celebrity photographer in Japan and has worked with all the big names in Japan
from my favorite Tsubasa Masuwaka to AKB48. It was Thanks to Kamiisaka-san that i got to meet Chara and Capsule~

Iwakura-san is a writer for Famous magazines in Japan.
He's currently working as the person in charge of Popteen Model "Komuri Jun" and Ageha model "Momo eri"
for a New Gyaru magazine coming out very soon~


Dinner was AWESOME!
I got to try this grapefruit cocktail where we had to squeeze the grapefruit at the table~

(sorry i got no pictures from the dinner.... we totally forgot to take them #_#)


===========================================================


and on that note, we're done with the
TOKYO ANI TOUR~
it was awesome meeting everyone and lets do this again!!

I'll be back with my Tokyo trip after Tokyo Ani tour which
includes Chara Concert, Capsule Concert, Bunka Hoso studio recording and more~~
