Asakasa Blitz [Livehouse] Wherever We Will Go, Whatever We Will Do.

One day left before we leave this beautifull land.

Well I've always said I wanted to visit a Livehouse here in Japan. After some missed chance, today I had my chance. Initially I thought of going to livehouses to see some indies-bands. But the thing is, I don't got much info on which bands are good. So I don't want to waste my time and money seeing some band I don't like. So I head out on the net to search for the LIVE-performance-dates of the bands I like. I checked Asian Kung-Fu Generations site, and it appears they will perform in a rock festival called ROCK ROCK Sendai, in Sendai. Lucky me! I thought, but this happy feeling soon faded away once I discovered the tickets were all sold out.

So too bad, zannen desu. I continued to search for some live performances. I did all of these yesterday, so I really really had to be lucky to find something within the 3 days I was still here.

So a few days I ago I bought the AKFG albums along with Stereopony's debut album, so I decided to check their site. And guess what, they were gonna give a last final perfomance of their Tour on 22 August today!

After the usuall internet info-babelfish-translator hassle, I finally managed to find my way to this Livehouse/Venue called Asakasa Blitz located in...Asakasa. Some place near Harajuku, where I transfered to the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. (From our main transport line, the Yamanote Line)

And I got my ticket!
And today also, I had my portion of Japanese conversation! Once again the Livehouse-staff didn't knew English, so there goes my badly Japanese again. Using keywords and short sentences I once again succeeded in managing to get (the most) things understood.

I got my ticket at 15.00 We were supposed to line up at 16.00, but everyone was already lining up at 15.30 At first I was lining up in the wrong que "-___- I had a B-rank ticket, but I lined up in the A-rank line. Yeah stupid, but it doesn't matter since I still needed to wait anyways, cause mine ticket was bought late, so I was one of the few last to go in. That's no problem really, cause I still managed to get a good place.
So I got in, and photos were not allowed. So I'm sorry. No photos.
But it was a splendid Live!
It was their last concert in their whole tour, and since this was their first tour (they just started out, just released debut album a while ago) it got a bit emotional at the end. AIMI the vocalist + guitarist started to have watery eyes at the ending speech. At one moment she paused, and some people from the crowd were shouting: Ganbatte! Ganbatte! =P

So yeah, it was a nice day. Bought some Tour Goods as well, The T-shirt and Towel. I also got the poster (but you needed to buy the new single to get the poster, so I was in shopping spree anyways, so I got that one as well) (Below left are some free flyers, then you got the towel and shirt, and the poster + new single. The album I already bought it a few days ago)

Okay one of the last posts of Japan. We might get emotional too tomorrow haha. I still have a lot of blog material, food photos! etc.

Wherever we will go, whatever we will do, we've all posted in our blogs.
(Still a lot of photos not posted, but maybe that will be bonus material after Japan. If anyone still comes here, but I guess not, so I'll post everything tomorrow!)

Bye! Ja mate! Tomorrow last day!

Bonus photos:

This shrine is just around our corner, and tonight they seemed to have a sort of festival.

Wonder how we iron our clothes? Well with this small iron-set! We actually just used it once. (you got to asked to borrow it at the frontdesk of the appartment)
