Short but Sweet - Day 1, 14:30

I was there, I saw him, got first row tickets, he was gorgeous and I can die without regrets now *_*
Well, I don't really have time and mood for long review, so few points.

It was first live, and he was EXTREMELY tensed! *poor* but later, after MC Ikuta Toma came *YES!!!!*, they did 3 songs and Pi's confidence got better ^O^
I was surprised, but he managed to make quite long and funny MC all by himself! And yeah, he wanted to make sure everybody knows: "I'm not stingy!!" (refering to yesterday's MS lol).
His dance was like... PROFESSIONAL! He improved so much!!
Tour t-shirt has his photo! :D
He sang:
- new songs from Loveless
- an old solo song he wrote for NEWS and performed during NEWS concerts - Ao
- Michael Jackson's - Thriller @O@!
- Snow Express
- Daite Seniorita, Seishun Amigo, Yokubou Rain (with Toma :D), Colorful, Love Song, Yubiwa, Houkago Blues, Mola (the PV version)
and some others I don't remember now >_<;;;

I hope he will get over the stress and make me see even better performance tomorrow and day after tomorrow on final ^___^

Oricon Style that was out today has cover and 9 pages with Pi!

P.S. I want to see Massu's butai again!!!!!!!!!!! It was the funniest stage show I ever saw! And Massu was just awesome/cute/sweet/super-funny! :D If you have a chance, you SHOULD see this!

Yamapi holding hands with Keiko

When we were riding metro with Mao today, we saw a poster of Josei Seven magazine that had a Pi picture on it and the title of his "hands holding date" with Kitagawa Keiko. We run to convenience store and got it! It looks like Keiko was dating another guy in August, but now was spotted with Pi. So I guess his summer love is over already??

Sorry for bad quality, but I don't have a scanner here and had to use a camera.

By the way, in the Friday magazine that was out today was a few pages article of Koki (KAT-TUN) going to Hawaii with a gravure idol. Seems like a lot is going on around boys lately XD

Unplanned meeting with Loveless :O

I totally didn't expect it!!
I have in my schedule to spend whole tomorrow (18.11) in Shibuya since early morning.
Today I was in Chiba and came back to hostel quite early, after going for dinner with a new-made-friend from hostel, I thought it's bad to waste the evening, so I decided to go to cinema for a movie "nakumonka" (because poster was on almost every station and I love the cast :D).

I asked a guy working in my hostel if there's any cinema near. He took it very seriously and made a research which cinema is playing it now. The nearest one was in Shibuya (and I'm almost on the other side of town, but nevermind...). He printed me a map, so I can find it easier.
When I reached Shibuya it was 5min till movie start (X_X) First I noticed surprised, that instead of NEWS DVD poster on HMV building is now Pi with Loveless :O
I run to the "cinema" only to find out it's wrong building (map was wrong!) >___<>___<;;;;;;; This time I found elevator, took a ride down and as soon as I walked out of it I saw a stand with Loveless CDs!!!!! WHY?! Release date is tomorrow!! Well, lecca single was out as well, so I guess it's normal they have it in store on the day before official release date.

Movie screeing was 10min late, so I still managed to see it from the beginning till the end ^__^ AWESOME! LOL (and there was Code Blue parody inside! XDD) btw. there was Nodame showed earlier ^^
After it ended, I checked all 3 biggest music shops in Shibuya to see Loveless displays.
Tsutaya, just like all displays they're making, was a kind of fan-made, with colorful notes and cut-and-paste pictures of Pi.
HMV was... normal, nothing special. But they had poster outside :)
But Tower Records, was just AMAZING! With candles (of course made of plastic and glass) put around a little screen featuring single CM, and a name Loveless was spreaded around on kind of blocks. Sorry, I sucks at descriptions >_< But even if I had a camera, I wouldn't be able to take a picture, because there was a girl watching so no one would do it XDD
I ordered my singles a month ago and they're already going to my home in Poland, so I just got lecca new single (because I love it ^O^) and went back to hostel.
Tomorrow I'll try to take some pictures and videos of Shibuya (^^)


Now a sad news... you know this Tofu shop from Nobuta, right? The one where Akira was living in. (I wrote about the house roof last time. Roof and Tofu shop are 2 different locations!)

So, I went to try some Tofu at this store today, but when I got there I saw it's GONE!
The land shop was standing on, now became a parking for a shrine that was behind it. I went to Tempura stand few meters away and asked an old lady what has happened. She told me the store was taken down around last year. And old couple that was running it all this time died, daughter took it over, but later decided to close it after all :(
It's such a shame! And I wanted to taste this tofu so badly y_y
But at least the Tempura was heavenly delicious ^O^

Pi in Shibuya

I went to Shibuya yesterday. Poster is still on! ^O^ my god~ he's even more good looking "live" *_* According to my schedule, tomorrow I'll be in Shinjuku, so I will check if Toshiba is still there as well ^___^

Here are some few-seconds clips I took with my camera. Sorry, it's a HD MTS, but I don't have time to convert it now into smaller size x_x;

It's longest one, I just couldn't take my eyes off it *_* and sorry for all the mess in video, I was fighting with umbrella on the wind x_x;;

Today I was checking on Nobuta locations in Sumida. Do you know this moment when Shuuji is giving Akira a ride home? There's a big board on the corner, with Coka-Cola logo.

Well, I didn't intend to do this as first, but it was a lunch time already, so I walked in and ordered ramen. This restaurant in February had a 50th anniversary!! (Congratulations! ^^) And it's run by an old man and a bit younger one (30-yo maybe? didn't ask if it's a father-son thing, but he reminded me so much the Tofu guy Akira was living with! XD). They are making ramen using soba noodles. It was delicious!! But more than that! We started to chat and when I told them I learned japanese from dramas and that Nobuta was my first, the younger one imediatelly mentioned that here nearby is a "house Yamashita was living in", of course he ment Akira (from Nobuta) was living in. I knew it's close, but no website had an address, so I was determinated to find it by myself. But it was even easier than I thought, because he took me there! :D It was a few meters away than I expected at first XD

Anyway, you should check out this place if you have time ^^
(but they don't speak english ._.;;)

When I'll be back to Poland, I'll open our community with Yamapi-locations (drama, school etc.), because it's private now. Then, you'll be able to find all the directions (^^)
