Yesterday it was finally over - the event on which Anna and I had been waiting for weeks on the stand-Vamps concert at Budokan.
started the day not at first well - was in our bathroom when we were in, made wholesale cleaning Akion - so we had to escape to other floors. Despite this obstacle, we have then but managed to get up about 1 hour after going on leave and were then arrived at about 11am in Kudanshita. The Budokan quickly found we were right and not even quite got there - on a kind of square - even the first blow was waiting with vamp fans. First, we have just made these, but shortly afterwards the question arose, "we have to do here anyway?" - She has to answer to Anna then showed our cards a guide, which we only sent - through the gate - had been waiting before the stroke. So are there and we were soon right in front of Budokan. But there was - except a few other guides absolutely no one. So we have asked us where we have to stand - the first time has called his colleagues - was probably the better English than he. From this we then learn that we have fixed places and we do not have to - the first had so far heard quite well.
Then after we are to the stands for the Goods - have, however, they were still unpacking and we were sent off but go out of the sale would be at 14.30.
Since we are interested in waiting for the people on the forecourt, Anna has asked two of the waiting Japanese women - who had understood for some back and forth and what we wanted and we have learned that here for the goods pending. So we turned to do with the question or go until lunch - we have decided for the former, would eat then still have enough time. The approximately 2 ½ hours of waiting time actually went by very quickly - and it was obvious that the other fans - most of them were already on other concerts have been - look what it this way would give anything to Goods.
Then it was so far and we stood in front of the stands - I had not until quite late, actually only just that moment, considering what I wanted to get me - my choice was then the Totebag - the sign was shown anywhere what it is, there were two bags a gold and a silver - and actually gave me the Golden fallen a little better, but it was only the silver, so I have taken this . Meanwhile, like I had these really good and Anna even read somewhere that it the silver would be only on this day - what also makes them something special. Furthermore, I have me a towel - which was very handy during the concert - and brought a CD including posters.
When we had finished our shopping, we went first went to eat something and then back to the station to search lockers watching. This we found quite quickly - but all were occupied.
So we're back to Bukokan - look around us there to lockers, but there was none. We then used the time to take some photos go on, as we then have two English-speaking fans have noticed - an English woman and a Chinese coming from Australia - as we learned later. After a short acquaintance, Anna has suggested then that the Chinese woman is the one whose blog has she even read the previous day. It had then been found than was actually.
We then all went together to a cafe next to the Budokan and have us there to talk further.
Only time - wanted to and would not go over. I think I've watched every 5 minutes on the clock and the time would come up to me like hours.
some point - I believe it was around about 17h, about one hour before doors, we are out again, and have then found out where we had to hire us. Before then we had to part with the Englishwoman, she had a place in the 1st Floor - the Chinese woman, Anna and I had our place in the 2nd Floor. Then again after 10 hours it was felt then, we were allowed inside. And actually, one should assume so now that we were happy about it - and in some ways does this - there are always out we were. But it raises the crucial question, we have to go? - And so began probably the worst part.
We have - as so often today - our card to one of the guide showed us the first indicated to wait while he repeatedly had said something into his walkie talkie. In between he has also talked with us Japanese full - and despair I am already half, I've asked - he does not notice that we do not understand, he does not want it or re-admit it simply speaks of the Japanese people are not polite (even when you know they do not understand anything) to address further. Eventually, he gave us then suggested that we should follow him - what have we done so well behaved. To our Leitwesen was always higher up - that is further away from the stage. Eventually we arrived in front of a black Abdeckpane who was our guide simply pushed aside and surrendered yet more steps. Finally at the top - no, not in the back row behind the back row but have reached - before we extend determined 5, if not even more with the tarp covered series - once sought the Guide, in which he briefly lifted the curtain at the rear of the backrest, the seats 6 and 7 - and then made clear to us that our seats behind it - ie where we now stood - were. And so had also the mystery - what standing 6 and 7 was released.
We first had some time to realize that this was not a joke - so we just stood around for now. I thought that was the worst - we were the only ones who had the upper there.
But we had already decided quickly, go further down if the color.
The hall was filled then very slowly and before us a long time, some courts have been free. But unfortunately it was not so and about 10 minutes before the start were just exactly two spaces left - and still came in people. We then stared at these places - and prayed that they would remain free - and then actually - the light went out - and "our" seats were still available - we are so our Bags and snapped off you then.
Although - after Stehplätz action - not seemed that the concert was still so much fun. A little drawback I found the two levels deep abyss before me - I was there when jumping, fall for some time been seen - but then what is fortunately not happened. could the atmosphere was great and the whole time that I had not really thought of Hyde's voice is heard full well.
(A detailed tour report saving I here now * Sorry *, who wants to read can do more in the blog of Anna )
At the end - that came much too early for my taste - we were then totally sweated through and my right arm and left leg hurt like hell - but what one is after such an experience could not care less. With a huge crowd so we moved back outside and toward Station. And actually, we are then assumed to be totally crowded subway - but hardly arrived at the station broke up the crowd and we were quite a few of our platform.
Anyway, I am now in retrospect to be totally happy I did it and I hope that Anna and I have again the opportunity.
Today I spent the whole day with Andreas been on the road. And we had pretty much done - point 1, was the visit of the Kyu-Furukawa Gardens and point 2, the visit of Washinomiya shrine.
First, where the "Umineko no naku koro ni know its a concept - there is the original submission of the Ushiromiya guest house. Just as the village of Shirakawa-go "the submission is" Hinamizawa "from" Higurashi no naku koro ni "is. And the shrine should all "Lucky Star" - Fans to be a concept - these are the shrine where the Hiiragi sisters to work as Miko.
The Route to the Kyu-Furukawa I had found out a few days earlier, we then we had to Washinomiya.Schrein come first in the morning to find out more - with us the "almighty" google would certainly help - as thought We in any case. So "Washinomiya" at google maps type - and a card came with zich pins on it. And after the list was the location of the pin A Washinomiya shrine - it was even there in the description that this is the Lucky Star - is shrine. So we tried the route of Komagome - the station where the Kyu-Furukawa is - according to Rich - the station from where, according to google - information comes to the shrine - zufinden out. Because all our web-plans at some point before the complete and Linen on google - card only in characters were given - it was a little guessing game. But finally we had found out where we need to in some way - and went on the trip.
The Way Komagome was simple - and from there to the Kyu-Furukawa we found quite quickly - ok. There was a card directly at the station and he was pretty well signposted.
First we have of course made a lot of pictures of the villa - I'm just me (while writing) again looked out of the anime pictures on it and it really just made. Even the rose garden is similar to the in Anime - unfortunately no roses bloom at present.
then we are still (almost), though all the way in the garden - but unfortunately we have neither the bodies - Schubbe, still a secret shrine found, and the boat jetty and sea have been missing. There were a large Pond - but unfortunately no waves hitting the cliffs. The gulls have the right "Umineko" - lacked atmosphere. There were but a "mega-drake - first I've long held for the animal from a goose, but up close it has become clear (look of her) as a Mallard - rather Giant Mallard, at least twice as large as normal - proved.
Despite the many missing elements, the villa was in itself never been great - and I'm looking forward to some point to come sometimes to Shirakawa-go.
Then we went on was to Rich, the way by train and actually easier than thought, and then arrived in Rich began the fun. First of all - cards and signs appear (at least in English) to be there still not a thing to be invented. Then I thought to remember me but we have to cross over the tracks we first went towards the railroad crossing. Just beyond, there was then a 7-Elven (this is one of the supermarket - chains here) and Andrew said to remember that on the google - map a was given. Schleißlich And we found - was given a shrine on the - - in the parking lot just a card that corresponded somehow not our recollection of the google - map.
But we have not found what we were looking rumsuchen and not for even longer. Well nothing would be a lie, we encountered a small total run-down shrine - whose Torii on both sides had already supports. .
any case, we can now say that we have been times in Japan in the country. There were there were huge garden - once we are chosen in a purely - or so it looked very much like a private property - and we are quickly reversed - and there were fields and the houses were pasted, unlike in the suburbs of Tokyo is not so close to each other.
some point we will then finally drove back home (to Asakusa) - to have been unfortunately without the shrine. The worst thing was that we had seen a lot of shops, with Lucky Star ADVERTISED had - that the shrine could not be determined far.
later - and again in the hotel - but I wanted to know how to drann we were and I googled again to the shrine. Did this time but the location (which I've learned from the Wikipedia article) in google - maps entered and left in place then you could also Washinomiya Shrine (- Shrine) you want - and who now thinks I'm on the same had we had found today tomorrow - is wrong. The two shrines are separated by about 4 km distance (after Assessment on the map).
google since we started them on their way to us the wrong shrine has shown, I think now more that of, for I have found just the right one - and somehow I'm glad he is not where we were and we are not drann run over, even though it was hurt, of course, was not to be there
