Luna Sea concert in germany (bochum)

last saturday andre and i went to the luna sea concert in bochum. this was the first concert in germany and for me and my boyfriend a real big dream came true :)

andre love this band since many many years. because of J he started playing the bass guitar (J is his biggest idol). before i met andre i only knew this band from the name. i never heard a song of them. 

and now, everytime when i listen to the songs, especially to loveless, it reminds me of the beginning of our relationship. this band is really important for me, and that of a complete diffrent way than other bands. for me Luna Sea are the mirror of my love to andre!


we always thought we will never see this band live. the whole time they didn't work together, then in 2008 they gave their first concert again in japan and the tickets were sold out so fast! but this year our dream came true and we could see them and it was FUCKING GOOD!!!

 

after we entered the concert hall we were little shocked because it was full with chairs! but it was ok. we had good seats and we had a great view. in japan we would never get such good and near seats.

like i expected the show didn't started punctual :) and i was afraid that the show would be as short as the concert from gackt but i was totally wrong. they played 2 hours!!! i heard all my favorite songs. it was indescribable! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and the lightshow!!!!! and J was so so so sooooooooooo cool. i really like his short hairstyle.

and then, after the concert i catched a stick from shinya! i never catched anything before (and i went to many concerts). after this the concert was 100% perfect :)

 thank you shinya :)

my outifit 

like you can see, i cut my hair about 15 cm. i had to much spliss and i recognized that i will never never never have long and beautifull hair :(  but it's ok. i like it how it is now and if i want long hair i can use my extensions.

so und hier mal von vorne und von der seite die kürzeren haare und die aktuelle farbe

nakano broadway and harajuku

my friends miri and sarah a very addicted to trading figures, mangas and merchandise from animes. back in tokyo we went to the nakano broadway. it's not only a good place for anime and manga fans, also for fashion victims. we spent many many hours in the shopping arcarde and the shopping mall. we found great stuff and for anime and manga fans, especially for those wo like figures, this is heaven :)

matsuyama castle

during my time in matsuyama i visited the matsuyama castle. i like castles :) everytime when i'm in japan i visit new places. this castle is not really big but pretty and old. there is a nice exhibition about weapons and samurai clothes inside.

it was a nice and sunny day :)

the boys walked the way to the castle, but we girls were to lazy and we used the ropeway. and it was really funny :)

me, miri and sarah :)

Matsuyama

this year it was my first time to travel to shikoku. i decided for the group (ich bin die rudelführerin ^^) to stay in matsuyama, the biggest city on shikoku. the main reason why i wanted to go to matsuyama was the autumn matsuri which was hold from the 5th till the 7th october 2010. i did not find any informations about this matsuri only the date. i expexted that this matsuri is a normal matsuri like i know from other citys but i was totally wrong o.O 


it was the craziest was i've ever seen in japan! and i never, really never saw that many yankee and yakuza men in one place like during the mikoshi fights.

we drove with the shinkansen and an limited express from kyoto to matsuyama. it was a long trip - about 4,5 hours but we arrived in the early afternoon in matsuyama. this was good :) because we lived near the biggest ( i think it was the only) shopping arcarde in matsuyama. we stayed in the lovely matsuyama guesthouse. it was cheap, good located, big and we had our own souvenir shop in the building. mear our guesthouse was also the ropeway to the matsuyama castle. i'm sure we could not stay in a better guesthouse. it was absolutely perfect!

puris part 6

and again some puris - those are my second puris with my love andre ^o^ i think they are very funny :)

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh i want to have my own purikura machine. i miss it so much :(

last day in kyoto

on our last day in kyoto we had full program. we went to the mibu area, we visited the nijo castle, we spent some time in a game center and we had our last dinner in our favorite okonomiyaki restaurant.


it was my first time to visit the nijo castle and i was very impressed! this castle is not like a regular castle, residence would be a better word for it. the buildings are flat and not as high as a normal castle. the nijo castle have a big and very pretty garden, the rooms inside the buildins are very good conserved. you can see original wallpaintigs from the time of tokugawa there. very very impressive. unfortunaltely it was not allowed to take pics inside the nijo castle :(

puris part 5

i really like it to make puris with my friends. but i love to make puris alone too, unfortunately i often forget to make single  puris..... in japan my feeling for time disappears completely. i often plan things that i want to do but i never made it in time. especially in tokyo the time flows diffrent then in the rest of the world. for me it feels like this city never sleep and it's like a twilight dimension ^^


on two days i had enough time to make singel puris. those are from kyoto (i made them in the AVANTI store) and i love them!

.... sad sad conny the place for my honey is empty :) i love stupid puris ^^

shinsengumi tour through kyoto

since 2004 i'm a big fan of the shinsengumi. i was hooked with this historical story since i watched the anime peace maker kurogane. after this anime i started to learn more about the famous "cops" and i watched also the NHK shinsengumi dorama and  the anime hakuouki shensgumi kitan.

random pics from kyoto

near our hostel was the AVANTI departmentstore. i really loved it to be there. there were great shops like cecil mcbee, liz lisa, tralala, lip service, egoist and many more. it was perfect! clothes, cosmetic, purikura and food in one broad view building ( not like thd sunshine city - i always lost orienteering there ^^).

for me kyoto is the perfect city. not to big, not to crowded and they have everything i like. 

in the AVANTI building i had my best crepes during my holiday. it was an autumn special edition "creme brulee with pumpkin" 

Puris part 4

today i realized how many puris i did this year. this is my puri part 4 post and i have still so much pics i want to show you. that's crazy. how can we girls be so hooked with purikura? it's really hard do explain ne? we love it and we can't get enough of those little cute pics.

this year i was with many friends in japan. some of them traveld with us and some of them were still there or came later. on one day we met our friends janine and alex in ikebukuro, and after some biru in the izakaya we tryed to make purikura with 7 people.

i think you can't really see something in this puris :) - we had much fun to try that everyone is on the pics. this was hard work ^^

here our result of the "face matsch bilder"

 

can you find me?

because of my hardcore shopping i could not bring everything in my suitcase at home and i sent two packages to germany. to spend not to much money is used the cheapest way "funabin". it's cheap but it takes 1 - 2 month to get it.

yesterday finally my first package arrived. i was so excited because i really didn't  know what i put inside. i lost the overview of all my purchases. :) it was like christmas to open the box and yes i bought great stuff! after all my japan reports i will show you my purchases ^^ i'm still waiting for a second box and then i have everything :)

Ninja Museum Iga-Ueno

this year i finally made it to visit the ninja museum in iga-ueno. http://iganinja.jp/en/

it was about 2 hours away from kyoto (by train) but with our railpass we could drive with the JR line.

puris part 3

and again a post with some puris. 

my boyfriend andre dislike purikura  -  for him it's unnecessary nonsense (i really can't understand this thinking!). but he is a good boyfriend and because i love purikura so much he made some with me. this time i let him decorate some pics too and he did it very well :)  i think he had fun in doing the puris with me ^^ 

i really like this puri stickers. unfortunately you can't see that the paper glitters really pretty....


das sind die einzigen puris mit diesem tollen glitzerpapier die ich habe. ich liebe dieses sticker ^^

i really love this pic of us!
