sechan19Because the semester at my school begins fantastically early--the week before Labor Day, in fact--I had to leave Tokyo in plenty of time to take care of general life business before the standard grind began again.
Here's some of the things I'm subsequently missing, or have already missed, as a result of this painful--yet inevitable--separation:
* Eunja, Rigusuru, and all of my new and old friends at KCP and around the Kanto plain.
* 雅-miyavi- played two shows in Tokyo on August 16th and 17th, just days after I hopped a plane to California.
* Gackt will once again portray Uesugi Kenshin at the 83rd annual Kenshin festival, on August 23/24th, in Niigata. I took a picture of the poster advertisement in the metro before I left, but there is still no live Gackt for me. [sigh]
* Gackt and Kagrra, are both releasing new albums/singles at the end of the year and most likely touring as well. Dammit.
Oh, yeah... and:
* A monkey. Yeah, apparently, a macaque found its way into the Tokyu Toyoku line's Shibuya station the other day. (I'd like to note that this was a line that I rode quite regularly this past summer and a station that I exited and entered frequently as well... I could have been a contender, yo.) The monkey evaded capture by the authorities--and commuters--and has been since spotted in the nearby Harajuku and Omotesando areas. It has even been blamed for the theft of eggplant and tomatoes from a residential garden.
Here's the Pink Tentacle follow up: 'Operation Capture Monkey' in Harajuku.
