Tokyo Tower in Blue

These shots were taken on 11/14 (Wed) around 11 PM. Lucky that I went home early (than usual) and saw the ad on Yamanote screen about light up Tokyo Tower to blue.
At first, I have no clue why Blue and I thought they might light up for X'mas celebration. The day later I just knew that they purposed to mark 1st World Diabetes Day.
Just rode my lovely bicycle, actually I was on my way to post to pick up the stuff but made a bit detour to the tower. It was the right time, they changed color back at 11PM.
Unfortunately, I didnt bring my tripod with me else photos should be a lot better....

McDonald

Do you know the name of McDonald's mascot??
Yah, I know it's easy question....Most of people should know it..
But you may wrong, if you call him "Ronald" in Japan.
In Japan, they call him "Donald".........Possible from McDonald?? I dont know.
Just found out about this "Donald" last night from variety show...

Always: 続・三丁目の夕日

Always new episode is now playing in theater nationwide. I really fell in love with the first one which make me feel more and more dying to see the second.
BUT, the problem is general Japanese movies don't have English subtitle -"-, unlike Thai movies or even Chinese movies which english sub always available. i dont think it's a good idea to pay 1800Yen for movie that i understand less than 10%
Nevermind, just wait to see in Thailand then ....

花火

I sit and read my old posted, found last year posted about hanabi which inspired by p'yoot's postcard.

One day, I will see it by myself not just from postcard (hopefully).

I just realized that I made it! Even I missed a chance to see Sumida River Hanabi. I made more than one hanabi anyway ;)

I once wondered why they held a lot of fireworks festival almost every week across Japan. But after experienced by myself, no wonder why people like hanabi

Mooka Hanabi Taikai in Tochigi
Tokyo Bay Hanabi Taikai
Tamagawa Hanabi Taikai
Tsuchiura Hanabi Taikai

Heard about Nagano Hanabi Taikai in winter, it sounds cool but I'm afraid I might be freeze before the fireworks end.

ここにいるよ - SoulJa

This lyric from: http://www.videouncovered.com/lyrics/6972//soulja/kokoni-iruyo-feat-thelma-aoyama.html

※Baby boy 私はここにいるよ どこもいかずに待ってるよ
You know that I love you だからこそ 心配しなくていいんだよ
どんなに遠くにいても変わらないよこの心
言いたい事わかるでしょ?
あなたのこと待ってるよ※

不器用な俺 遠くにいる君
伝えたい気持ちそのまま言えずに 君は行っちまった
いまじゃ残された君はアルバムの中
電波でしか会えない日々 たけど見えないぜ君の微笑み
君のぬくもり 髪の香り こののどの渇きはそのまま満たされずに
過ぎてく日々の中 なんだか君の面影ひたすら探した
君とよく歩いたあの道は 今俺だけの足音が響いていた
んなことよりお前の方は元気か? ちゃんと飯食ってるか?
ちくしょう、やっぱ言えねえや
また今度送るよ 俺からの Letter

(※くり返し)

鎌倉の砂浜で見た君の姿 波にのまれた君に言いたい言葉
なんだかマジせつねぇ 男なのになんで…言葉出てこねぇや
覚えてますか?君と行ったカラオケの中
俺が入れた曲の言葉 モニターに浮かんだまま
ほんとは君に伝えたかった
君と二人きりで初めて待ち合わせをしたあの日
まるで偶然に会ったかのようにはしゃぎ
微笑む君が忘れられないって
話かなりそれちまったがわかるよな?俺が言いたい言葉
S**t 残り書く場所がねえや
ごめん 次は絶対に送るから

(※くり返し)

俺がもっと金持ちだったら もっとまともな仕事をしてたら
もしもすべて犠牲にできたのなら 俺は絶対に君を…
だがPlease勘違いだけはすんな 君に寂しい思いはさせたくねぇが
忙しい中あんま話せねぇが
baby believe これは all for our future
But 正直 今すぐ君と会いたい 今すぐ抱きしめてやりたい
昔 君が俺の隣で座ってた席には もう誰もいないって…
まぁ そんな事はいいんだ 言いたいことはそんなんじゃねぇんだ
いまさらだが ずっと言いたかった言葉を込め 送るUnsent letter

Baby girl わたしはここにいるよ どこもいかずに待ってるよ
You know that I love you だからこそ 心配しなくていいんだよ
どんなに遠くにいても変わらないよこの心
言いたい事わかるでしょ?
あなたのこと待ってるよ

Baby boy わたしはここにいるよ どこもいかずに待ってるよ
You know I love you だからこそ 心配しなくていいんだよ
どんなに遠くにいても変わらないよこの心 今なら素直に言えるよ
I don't ever wanna let you go

Today the weather was so nice, after yesterday typhoon passed. Very very clear blue sky, totally different from yesterday. It reminds me about Boyd's "Seasons change" though.

Tokyo Tower

Heard from P'May and N'Bow about new light decorated on Tokyo Tower. One side is "TOKYO", another side is "2016". I dragged Ninee, after long exhausted day for her, to take photos together~ how good friend I am!

Do you wonder why 2016? Because Tokyo is one of the candidate for 2016 Olympic.


I took only one side (near my apartment), just wanna share. Another side not yet done...comin' soon :)

花火大会＠土浦 Fireworks@Tsuchiura

Just came back from one of biggest fireworks competition in Japan, the competition held in Tsuchiura in Ibaraki prefecture. Tsuchiura was quite far from Tokyo (around 1 hour 10 minutes by train).

We almost missed the last train back to Tokyo coz we tried to avoid crowded train but somehow most of people think exactly like us. The train station was very crowded. Lucky that KWKM-san negotiated with policeman allowing us to go up to train station otherwise I have no idea what we are gonna do if we miss it..

This event was really cool! Most of firework-masters from all over Japan come for this competition. In this competition it categorizes to 3 types.
1. Decided with 1 shot by how round it is and how many layer inside. From what I heard, the best is 5 layers but very difficult to make
2. Traditional Fireworks: Like a combination of fireworks
3. Star Dust (I'm not sure I spelled it correctly): Combination of fireworks with music. I like this kind of fireworks the most.

This event was differ from any fireworks I have seen. This firework took like almost 2 hours and it included best of the best from each kind of firework. Especially for star dust, it included all the final theme from each firework festival into this one...Awesome!

Tomorrow, I'll go to BBQ in Tochigi ♪♪

Hopefully, everything is okay (^^)v
