For the third and final Nanchatte Renai event my luck had run out and I ended up with a pretty crap seat…

I-33…pants!

‘I’ meant I was 9 rows back from the stage and seat 33 was near the far right of the room. This wouldn’t be an issue to most people but as the seats we’re all on same level – and I’m a short ass – I couldn’t really see anything throughout the whole event *sigh* All I remember was that the guy next to me was an Eri fan and seemed to be just as clueless with the chants as I was lol. Because of that we kinda played off each other which was pretty fun ^^

Because I have nothing of interest to say about the show as I couldn’t see much, I’ll move straight on to the handshakes. Once again the girls were standing in the same order but this time they all seamed kinda knackered:

RISA > LIN > SAYU > REINA > KOHA > AIKA > JUN > AI > ERI

RISA – Risa was slightly surprised to see me yet again so kept repeatedly saying sank-yu and grinning until I had moved on to Lin. This reminded me of L.A when she was right up in my face saying sank-yu sank-yu sank-yu because I told her (through a translator) that I was going to the dinner show. So awesome. I wub you Risa ♥

LIN – Lin just said a simple thank you to me whilst shaking my hand. She is always bubbly though, and wears the same 8D look all the time lol.

SAYU – Sayu gripped my hand quite firmly again, but not as much as the first time. Bit of a shame really as I wanted some feisty contact from her again *sigh*

REINA – Reina was the same as the the first event – kinda surprised and loud! A part of me wishes that she took as long to shake peoples hand as she does to sign her autograph. Would be pretty awesome but the people at the back of the line would be waiting a few hours for their turn >_<

KOHA – Sadly I don’t remember what Koharu was like during this third and final event, but I do remember that she is very VERY tall. I know Jun Jun is taller but I think I notice Koharu’s height more because she’s so skinny >_<

AIKA – I’m struggling to remember all the details from this event so to hell do I remember how Aika was with me. I don’t care to remember either. Next…

JUN - Again I don’t remember what Jun was like at this event. I think by this point I had reached my awesomeness limit and my brain had started to give up from all the internal spazzing out it was doing over meeting Risa. That’s my excuse in any case…

AI – I also don’t remember anything about Ai… It might eventually come back to me, but Ai is always so professional with everything that there wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary here. Well…NEARLY always professional, seeing as I had already got a uncharacteristic reaction from her at the second event, but I would’ve remembered if she had done something random again.

ERI – Eri’s handshake on the other hand, I do remember! She greeted me with a really huge grin again and we said thank you to each other as we did the last two times, but when I was walking away something random happened. As I was walking off I let go of her hand and pulled away…slightly, I was part way round the makeshift wall when I squeezed her hand / fingers again and she squeezed back lol. It was probably an involuntary reflex on Eri’s part but dang, if there’s such a thing as hand sex I did it there and then with Eri! It was so orgasmic I could still feel her fingers on mine for a little while afterwards lol. Yes I’m lame…no I don’t care!

♥♥♥

Upon leaving the event we were all in desperate need of food and after looking around Yokohama station we opted for a really cheap Ramen place. This was my first time trying Ramen and if anyone wants to know what it’s tastes of then I’d liken it to Minestrone Soup XD It was enjoyable although because I was on the last of my budget at this point I only went for the regular version. Next time I have one I might spend out and get one with a piece of lamb in or something…

After this zorrander went back to the hotel whereas gordokaba and I decided we’d hit up a Hello! Project party that was taking place in Otsuka. Unfortunately once we got there we found that the party had already finished (it was a day party…what’s that all about?) so did what we do best – went on the hunt for more food and beer. We managed to find one of those pretty cool ticket machine restaurants where you buy a ticket for the items you want – including alcohol – and the staff collect them from you and bring back your food when it’s ready. The only things on the menu that interested us were fried chicken, chips and of course, beer ^^ I bought some chips and a beer with the idea that I’d get more later if wanted but gordo came up with the ingenious plan of buying a load of tickets all at once, yet use them a few at a time. The waitress kept coming to our table to collect our tickets (I went to the machine a few more times) but everytime looked really confused. The last time she came out with a serving of food and beer she checked through all our ticket stubs and looked even more confused. She then asked us in Japanese if we had anymore tickets to which gordo got his extra ones out and showed them to her…bad move! When she saw them she went off on a major rant, all in incredibly fast Japanese with equally as fast and over exaggerated hand gestures @_@ After she finished her tirade and walked off gordo was completely bewildered and had no idea what it was all about but I had managed to work out that once you buy a ticket from the machine it tells the kitchen staff what to cook. He had bought all these items which the chefs had knocked up, yet the waitress had no idea who it was for as he was hiding the slips lolololololol. Was so fucking funny and we spent the rest of the time in fits of giggles about the whole situation. The restaurant stopped serving beer at 10pm (we knew this as gordo tried to buy more and the same crazed waitress shouted “NO MORE BEER!”) so we left.

Straight after leaving the restaurant we hit up a convenience store to buy some MORE beer went to sit in a nearby park to drink like some foreign bums. After looking at some pretty cool ‘interactive’ map of the area (I was pushing the buttons like a little kid) we made our way in the direction that we thought a run of the mill Park was in, but instead we ended up in a Children’s Park ^^; This didn’t overly bother us though, so we sat on some little stone seats near some hand washing facilities, drank our booze and talked about anything and everything. We were even lucky enough to have a member of Morning Musume join us in putting the world to rights. That’s right…

…Kame likes Kirin ‘taste of autumn’ Beer which I have to say, tastes like regular beer. Actually, can anybody tell me what autumn is supposed to taste like? o_O

There were some kids and their mom’s in the park – playing in the sand pit – and when they left they came to use the hand wash in front of us. As they did gordo and I were scrutinised over by the pair of them in the degrading way that only kids can get away with. You can just imagine what was going through their little heads lol. We left the park sometime before midnight and I had to say my goodbye and thanks to gordo on the station platform as this would be the last time we’d see each other. It was really kinda sad and I was a little bit upset on the short train ride and walk back to the hotel in Ikebukuro. In fact, I was so deep in my thoughts about this being the end of such an awesome trip that I failed to realise I was walking across a side street without first checking it was safe to do so. I was soon brought out of my drunken zombie like state by the screeching of brakes to my right, I looked up and some guy on a push bike was a hairs breadth away from me and giving me this shocked / angry glare for obviously getting in his way whilst he was cycling down the road. In true Lolli style I acknowledged him with a slight nod of the head and said “SUP” then carried on walking. It wasn’t until I got in to the lift at the hotel that I realised I’d nearly been in a potentially nasty accident with a cyclist lol. I would not of enjoyed spending my last night getting patched up in hospital, well…unless the nurses were hot <_<

I got back to the room, got changed and passed out in bed. I slept well – probably thanks to the Cola Shock I drank – and I had a Morning Musume related dream. Sadly the next day I had to fly back to boring UK…

End of Event 3 / End of Day 09 / End of Epic Trip to Japan
