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^

I'm catching up on your japan entries, did you go alone?
I love the new lecca single as well! I started to listen to her a lot (I'm listening to her right now) after a saw the cm for my measure.
It's so sad that the tofu shop got torn down :(
