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!!!!!!)
