Gantz Day Out.
Its a little bit geeky but i had a great day on saturday. I went with my friend to a Location in a film that came out recently called Gantz. It was awesome and we actually saw it in Japanese and no subs. My listening Japanese is okay and i knew enough words to get the jist of things and even a few sentences. It was an action film anyway and i knew enough of the Manga it's based upon to be okay.
We went to a cafe where one of the main characters (Nino from Arashi!) has a date with someone. It was actually a really nice cafe. Good food and pretty cheap and i will definately go again. I really liked it and the staff were really nice. I leave everything to the credit to my friend as i was mid PMS rage ( thank GOD i didn't see anyone on the friday - not a happy bunny) There were no directions as such except for and i quote 'In the direction of the park'. I asked a woman passing if she knew and luck would have it she actually spoke english and walked us to the restaurant. ^_^ so sweet.
Anyway we had lunch there first after walking past the table and me not knowing really what to do. There wasn't really anyone there so i thought it would be fine. But later on a group sat there for a while. damn it.
I asked in my broken Japanese about the table. or as i remember. ' under..table...we like Gantz. Is a photo okay?' and that set the ball rolling. They seemed really happy about it. We has to wait for quite a while (about 4 hours or something from when we came though the door! Little less mabye) It was quite funny as I think the staff kept telling people around us about us - i guess a few people were curious. 'what are they doing here?' and the like. One mad even came up and said, ' You are here for the Gantz table - enjoy your stay' (sparknotes version) ^_^ Anyway we drank a lot of tea.
One of the staff popped her head up from the stairs (we were upstairs) and gave a CD that Nino had signed. I never wanted to let go! It was kinda scratched though.
We eventually went down to the table and the brought us top up for the tea and some hot water for it while we sat there (I love the staff - we never asked for it) . Even when they were shut they kept saying 'no its okay' when i asked what time do they shut.
They had a little Gantz fanbook which we both wrote in ^_^ And the Orange scooter just outside! : D (You can see it in the movie) It was fun - we took a few photos and I was so happy to have sat where Nino had sat ^_^ hehehehehe. I sure loads of people have thought the same thing but - though accociation i have touched Nino's arse. (I'm just that kinda girl *winkwink*)
Ureshiiiiiii
We were also given some shiny red ribbon they cut for us with 'GANTZ 1.29' on. It sits beautiflly on my fridge!)
I was really happy at the Cafe and really loved it there. I'm trying to pen a letter to the staff but i will have to ask sometone about it due to me not speaking Japanese!! (But i loved trying and we even got asked - wait for it - Basic questions: D I was happy to try and awswer some of them. My friend did they rest! Language wise was we thanked the staff a lot!!!!!!)

Speech Contest
Today was the speech contest which has been hanging over everyones heads for a few months now. That sounds negative but its not i have been really looking forward to it. I didn't really do much for the day, just help the kids get to their seats for the morning lower grade kids and looked pretty. But It was nice to see all my kids there and to see them do what they have worked so very hard for. Everyone had worked really hard.
I'd really proud of all my kids and i'm happy to say that quite a few of them won awards. ^o^/ 5 i think. : D I'm so happy for them!!! And what i liked is that they (well more in the afternoon) really were happy to see me and had them running up to me ^_^ It made me feel like a proper teacher as i have helped them with the speeches. A happy feeling in my heart ^_^ Especially the older kids. One of my friends even came to get me from the main hall when i was the the theatre because two of the little girls i teach kept shouting in the foyer for me ^_^ HOLLY-SENSEI!! HOLLY-SENSEI!! hehe.
And one girl's parents were really appreachiteive. (sp) and gave me a thank you gift. I was so happy! I'm also very lucky as she won one of the awards and i'm really proud of her as the is always happy and smiling!! The mum i've met a few times before but never the dad but both her parents were really lovely and were speaking english to me : )

My Chemical Romance at Yokohama Arena!!
Last night I went to see My Chem!
I was so excited but its so weird to go and see a gig in Japan. They themselves were really good and they played quite a mix of songs from the albums but felt it was kind of short. To show what I mean heres an quite from Ray's Blog on the MCR website!
'For those of you who have never been to a show in Japan, the crowd reacts in a way completely unique to Japan. Between songs, they are whisper quiet, respectfully waiting for the next song to start. Once the music kicks, they begin to dance, chant, mosh and sing along at ear piercing levels. When the song ends, polite applause, and then silence. It makes for a special experience, that somehow feels more personal than the size of the show would indicate.:

I don't know if it would be more personal but i just spent the entire time wondering why people went so quite all of a sudden. Durning songs fine but them the quite-ness. I found it a bit weird.
Anyway i really loved seeing them again (3rd time : D ) They played house of wolves and a great version of Ghost of you <3
