My ticket for Edward VIII came!!! Can't wait for this Sunday to go watch it. 


I might end up crying cause it's the last Takarazuka production for Kiriyan and Aono Yuki

So many people are feeling that the shut down of MU equals the end of the internet world as we speak. People it's not the end of the world nor is it the end of the fandom world.

Remember back in 2001 when this "little" P2P program called Napster got shut down? We all thought it was the end. But look how many other P2Ps, torrents, file sharing sites popped up.

Personally I think the US government is more or less fighting a never ending war. Because when they shut down one site, ten more will appear.

Don't get me wrong, I relied on MU for my Johnnys' stuff when I lived in Canada. Yes I admit I knew what I was doing was illegal. But back than I was credit card less, and do you have any idea how expensive it is to ship a DVD from Japan to Canada? (Plus those outrageous customs' taxes???!!!!)

But at the same time, I still bought about 90% of the stuff I downloaded because I wanted to support the artists I liked. (Either bought with friends or begged parents to let me use their CC) Being cheap, I opted not to use express delivery, but I was impatient to wait 3 weeks for my DVD so I downloaded it first to watch.

Of course I understand the frustrations of those with paid accounts with MU. You may never get that money back.

But attacking federal websites is not going to help anything. It'll just make things worse.

At the same time:

Dear USA governement,

Maybe you can consider dealing with poverty, health care, gun problems etc etc (in your OWN country) before you decide you want to be a World Police (which you already think you do) and tackle something like piracy.

Today marks the 17th Anniversary of the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake that killed more than 6,000 people with approx 4,000 people from the city of Kobe.


Although after the 3.11 Tohoku Earthquake it may not seem as big, back than it was one of Japan's worst Earthquake since the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake.

Today's school lunch consisted of food that was eaten during that time. (I heard all schools in this Hanshin/Awaji area are fed this today)

It included:

非常用炊き込みご飯: Rice for emergency use = instant rice = just add hot water
ミンチカツ: Beef cutlet
バナナ: Banana
乾パン: Dried bread
たくあん: Takuan (Pickled white radish)
牛乳: Milk

Gonna drown my sorrows for not getting Romeo & Juliet tickets and go watch Edward VIII T_T

What sucks even more is that I hit for my friends but didn't hit for myself >.<

Actually instead of Edward VIII I should go watch Endless SHOCK again. I mean I have to wait until April until my next show O_o

On Monday, I went to watch Endless SHOCK at Hakata-za with my friend. This was the first time that Endless SHOCK was being performed outside of the Tokyo Imperial Theatre. About 500 million yen (approx 6 million US) was spent on renovation of the theatre including drilling about 11 holes onto the roof of the theatre to accommodate Koichi’s flying scenes.



Did you know getting ready for a prince takes a lot of time and effort? That’s right ~ I spent about an hour getting ready to go watch this show. (It’s a good thing the theatre was only a 2 min walk from the hotel)

  
 
 



When I arrived I saw this giant poster of Koichi and I had to take pictures of it; lots and lots of it. After that I went in to the lobby to take pictures of the flowers Koichi received from other people including one from Takamizawa-san (which arrived Sunday afternoon).

It was about 15 min before the start of the show before I actually went past the ticket collection area. There was little to no line for the goods so I was able to get my goods very quickly. I bought the shopping bag, the 2012 pamphlet, the shop photos and the clear file. (Due to part of the show of 2011 SHOCK being cancelled because of safety concerns after the 3.11 Tohoku Earthquake, they were also selling the 2011 pamphlets)

Then I made my way into the theatre to find my seats. I was on the side of Row L. The theatre isn’t very big. When I first looked at seating charts I was kind of afraid it would be too much on the left. But actually I was centre side, so actually it was very good view. The show started on time.

I’m sure most of you have already seen the show or heard about it so I really won’t bother telling the story. There were a few changes. (Please highlight for spoilers)

1. Kanda Sayaka (aka: Rika) has a duet on top of the theatre roof with Koichi.
2. Instead of a father/daughter slap fest, Uekusa has a solo. (But Koichi did get to slap Uekusa right after XD)
3. The Romeo & Juliet scene was cut out
4. “Why Don’t You Dance With Me?” is cut and replaced with a new song called “Higher”. This performance did not include Uchi. He kind of just watched from the side. Uchi mentioned how he felt lonely that he wasn’t part of this number.


Thoughts )

 The rumoured store Koichi is said to have visited back in Novemeber during rehersals. XD
  Me & the prince
 Just a picture of the sign for the restaurant where I saw 4U & MA

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I just flailed at [info]kipani_mariko but I need to do this again!!! 

OMG!!!!!!!

I just saw MA & 4U at the restaurant we were in.

 
 
Seriously ~ What are the odds? Of all the restaurants near Hakata-za. 

Was leaving after dinner, when I walked by a table of 6 guys where 3 of them looked so familiar. (I had to double look) That's when I realized, the one furthest was Tatsumi. Than I looked beside him, it was Yone and right beside him I think was Fuku.

Tatsumi looked back at me, because I kinda stopped right in front of their table ~ And I think he probably saw my Endless SHOCK bag sticking out. He did kind of smile back.  

But seriously, I just saw them perform on stage not less than 3 hours ago, and here I was leaving a restaurant and they were there.

Tatsumi who I usually see as the "cute" one was in fact very otokomae with his hair pushed back with a hat and no makeup. Yone stood out of course but WOW!!!!!!
