ロンドンへいきましょう!


Today, I had to visit The British Museum. It was a compulsory trip due to a top up module I took this semester for extra credit. Aptly named, "Museums and Society" - I'm sure to most this must be the most boring thing in the world, and I'll be honest this trip today seemed pointless as we were talked at for an hour and a half, then told to look into the meaning of some things which really didn't need meanings attached to them. Hmm. University lecturers sure make you think, although not always on the most necessary of subjects.


I got to see a Crystal Skull from Europe, it looks like a glacier mint...


And this adorable bugger, it's a Japanese ivory carved Skull with a little Lizard on top. Fuck, I wanted to take it home with me it was so cute! 


Me and my Uni friends ventured to JP Books, Japan Centre and China Town before the museum! Where I purchased my first ever Kera magazine!! I have always been interested in the scans and fashion featured in the Magazine but never picture up a physical copy. Safe to say I will most likely be picking one up each months from now onwards. So full of beautiful things!! 


There was also another beautiful thing lurking in the adverts....JUN!! From Golden Bomber advertising MINTneko. I have the Mint Sixh. Necklace but maybe I can get some more accessories from Japan in summer!


A cheaper version of Ramune..and tastes better..this was peach flavoured.


A MOTHER FUCKING PANDA WAFER CHOCOLATE THING. IT WAS DELICIOUS AND ONLY 66P.

ULTIMATE BARGAIN.

[Japan Underground]

Yesterday I attended Japan Underground at The Pipeline, London. This was my second JU, as I went to the one last year in October - and can safely say loved every second.

This time there was a "loose" 80s theme, with a Japanese band "Queer" playing Queen covers, and had a very bizarre dancer...I shall never see Bohemian Rhapsody in the same way again!

The first act had me running for the hills, and so ventured outside to see the snow. 


I apologise to everyone who tried to make me dance xD 

All I can say is that later "女々しくて" came on and I was dancing then!  




Getting home was an epic trip! Missing the last Underground Train to Victoria, then getting a Taxi with a Lady nice enough to share the fare with us, and then sitting in the Oxford Tube for 2-3 hours, as it dredged along in the snow.

[08.01.2012]

Right now I am at my Mum's house!
I haven't stayed here since she moved and got engaged but it's okay.
Seeing all the animals is good - I missed Maud the cat a great deal!

Interesting things happening in the UK Visual Kei fandom at the moment.
D aren't coming back here this tour, I am not overly surprised. I would have been more surprised if they did come back! But I was glad I got to see them last time so I'm not too fussed.

LM.C are coming back, but they really aren't my thing anymore. I saw them back in 2009 and had fun, but I won't be going this year.

I was kinda hoping for bands like -OZ-, Lynch., or Matenrou Opera to come here this year.
Although if this doesn't happen I'll hopefully see all three this summer in Japan!

I SERIOUSLY want to see Girugamesh again though.
I need to pre-order their DVD too!
