Japan Fest '10 :)

            "Takoyaki" stall <3

            J-factor
The "Japan Matsuri" 2010 which was near Liverpool Street was absolutely amazing (*^o^*)
I even got to eat Candyfloss♥ Admittedly, I was a "tad" (a.k.a mega) hyper after drinking some of that Lucozade Shot which made me laugh at absolutely everything! The Kendo demonstrations, food stalls, activity stalls, japanese goods stalls were fantastic. There were English people doing cosplay!! -dressing up as maids, anime characters such as Naruto and even Mario!! The taiko (drum) performances and the "J-factor" (which made me crack up so much) were so wonderful to watch. I would really recommend you going next year :D

Yokohama!

I went to Yokohama （横浜） for the first time :) It was really fun. Yokohama is famous for it's chuka-gai (china town). ↑ This is a picture of one of the many entrances to the chuka-gai. We had lunch in a lovely chinese restaurant and I ate lots of Tenshin including Gyoza dumplings and springrolls :D

Tokyo Tower

おっ久ーーぁぁ(*^o^*) I spent 3 weeks of the summer holidays in Japan!! :) It was amazing. I've taken loads of photos so that I can upload them bit by bit.

↑ The famous Tokyo Tower - day and night. They're currently building a new tower called the "sky tree". It will be bigger than the Tokyo Tower.

Cool Japan

These two videos are from the japanese tourism agency.

As you can see, it introduces japans:

・shopping

・hello kitty

・pretty lights and famous tourist attractions.

The word they say at the end of the videos "Yokoso" means "Welcome" in japanese.

Monkey Majik - Change

I was looking up songs on Youtube today and I found this ................. I . AM . IN . LOVE ♥♥

Apparentely, "Monkey Majik" was formed in the year 2000 (so it's their 10th anniversary this year! CONGRATS☆ミ) and they create a unique style of Canadian / Japanese rock ?? WOW :O

The guitars and Shamisen sound SO~ good together ... legends (obviously apart from Arashi and Lady Gaga ;D)
