I LOVE JAPAN!!!
Today went well! First of all...I took a new way to Asakusa and got there a lot faster. I made it more difficult that it really was. When I got to Kaoru's, we had to wait because Aki is always late. Then we went to Iko's house. Man...Iko's house is phat! 4 stories, elevator and a 6 car garage! Well it's not the kind of 6 car garage ya'll are probably thinkin' of...but it's the kind that is 3 stories high and is fully automatic. Just input the car you want to get onto the control panel and it's brings your car to you! As a gift, Iko got me a male yukata! It's pretty koo....gray and blue, my favorite colors! So then we headed out to the place where the fireworks are best to look at. I was the only guy with 5 other girls. Hide's g/f was in town so he didn't come. We met up with Yoshi's sister and her husband. They had their place already scoped out...there was like 50 people. We had one of the best seats in da house!
Asakusa Sumidagawa Hanabi Tai Kai was a enormous festival. I can't tell you how many people (especially all the cute girls dressed up in yukatas!) there were! The hanabi (fireworks) where pretty impressive and it lasted for an hour! I saw some hanabi that I've never seen before. After grubbin' on some good food and drink, we watched the hanabi and afterwards headed back to Iko's to change. We decided to go to karaoke (pronounced "kah rah oh kay", not "ka ri oh key") but most of the places were packed because of the festival. We ended up going to this one place...pretty nice. Kaoru, Yoshi and Iko were jammin' on da mic! I was pretty hazukashii (shy) because they were so good! Most of their songs I knew, so it was nice to hear them sing it. Since most of the songs I sang were english, they really didn't know any of them. So...for the last song, I did a Japanese one. Glay's "Beloved" with the help of Kaoru and Yoshi tellin' me the kanji that I didn't know. When we paid, we got these free LED pens! Pretty dope yo!
Since I had to catch the last train (thanks to Yoshi and Iko's keitai which can find out all the times and how to get back to home), I was fortunate enough to get a ride to the station from Yoshi's sister and her husband. The train was mad packed. Was squished almost the whole way home. I then I had to catch a takushi (taxi) which I thought would be around $20, but ended up being only $11!
Tomorrow I'm supposed to kick it with Iko and Yoshi and go see Hideki and Hirotaka perform in Roppongi. I also might kick it with Brian Sato. Sometime tomorrow I need to put some final touches to my speech that I'm gonna give on Monday. Wish me luck! Well...it's a kinda late and I'm pretty exhausted! Callin' it a night...
