As you are probably all aware, I have made it my aim (since sometime last year) to return to Japan in October 2009 for Risa’s 21st birthday concert. Although I know that there might not be a concert on the actual night of her birthday. The Autumn tour is held around the same time each year, thus there will / should be one on a date near it. And that my friends, is the one I am working my damnedest towards attending ^^
So me being me, I thought I’d bore you all by semi chronicling my struggle to raise the necessary coinage to make this happen *sweatdrop* Overall I want to spend 2 weeks in Japan. With plans of catching both Berryz Kobo and C-ute concerts, along with as many Morning Musume ones as I can. Plus! I would also like to try and find some places where members of these groups have been for various things (like Cat’s Cafe in Yokohama). With all that being said, at this current moment in time I’ve come to the conclusion that I need £2000 alone to cover my flight and hotel…
Then with spending money and the cost of the concert tickets, I’m gonna say I need £3,500 altogether!!! Alright, alright! I admit that could be a tad bit excessive but meh…that’s my aim!
What’s that you say? How the hell am I gonna achieve this? Overtime Overtime Overtime!!! *big ass uber sigh*
Anyway…the only thing you need to be aware of, is that there will be random / stupid posts when I reach £500 increments. Due to the fact that I couldn’t find a Blue Peter Totaliser widget :(
I hope you don’t mind.






TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!
humph…I wish, I am nearly broke and going to rome in april, wish I was loaded so I could just pop over as if it was a trip to ennis for shopping (you would know what that meant if you lived anywhere near me ^^;)
I might have to sell my ass or something to raise those kinda funds, or maybe I’ll just get so deep in debt I can write it off??? :P
@Liamers – Rome?! Cool! Hope it’s better than Milan ^^ Should be though as they have the Colosseum and all. I wish I was loaded too…Overtime is a bitch but I’ve gotta do it :(
@Shirow – You don’t have to come for two weeks. One week will be a lot cheaper. And you know me…I over compensate so I don’t really need £4000. That’s just my aim! But if you really wanted too, you could always do the last option :)
I should do stretches daily so maybe by the time you’re due to go to Japan, I might be able to touch my toes. Then will you pack me in ya luggage? Pretty please? XD I promise not to look through ya underwear. Oh gawd…I did NOT type that! *hides*
I’m insane. Yes, always blame it on the sanity :P
Haha – Hammy *pats head*
You can get in my suitcase if you want, but you’ll have to learn contortion as I don’t think being able to touch your toes is enough. As for the underwear…it’ll all be brand new so you can do whatever you like. Just don’t chew through the gussets like Arwen does XD
(I agree – blaming sanity is the best option)
Well…I think my Japan fund is going to take a huge hit as I haven’t been able to do overtime for 3 weeks (so that’s £300 NOT going in the kitty). Plus soon I won’t be able to do overtime, even if it’s available :(
I will still be able to go for one week though as I have profit share coming up soon. Everyone will know when that is because there’ll be a post ^^
