Woo 5 days break from blogging XD I blog too much dont i?
Anyway its been crazy busy around here as usual, i went away to Kinugawa for a few days and an event on Sunday. This week, my sister is visiting so i am trying to get the house cleaned and in order. [Most likely its not going to happen but i will try my best] <– my Ne-san is used to my mess anyway.

Is everyone going on holiday soon? I got a huge influx of emails recently from those of you coming to Japan for a holiday! I havent really got time to reply to everything right now but i will try my best [though if u are taking the trip soon, do write to me again so i will get to replying yours first XD]
BUT i bring you a good tip on where to go in Tokyo…
tokyowalker01
Tokyo Walker magazine! This is published bi-weekly [i think..i dont buy it regularly, only when i have time off] and features new exciting things happening in Tokyo XD
There are ones for Osaka [kansai walker] , Yokohama [yokohama] etc etc You get the idea XD
If in town, pick one up! This is not just for tourists! This is mostly purchased by us, the locals!

I took some random photos of this magazine so you can get a feel for whats in it

It doesnt just talk about food/places to go, even new models of mobile phones are featured XD
tokyowalker02
Docomo’s new phones. A collaboration effort with Q-pot
Do you know Q-pot? You got to check them out, they make the cutest things. I’ll write more about it next time if anyone is interested.

Next year is the year of the Tiger….so there are some new buns in town!
tokyowalker03

A little section about the famous foods around Japan which can be found locally in Tokyo
tokyowalker04

tokyowalker05

A white colored Taiyaki! this can be found in Natural Lawson stores
tokyowalker06

Present ideas for Christmas [Couple Jewellery XD]
tokyowalker07

Disneyland and DisneySea are all done up for Christmas of course
tokyowalker08

Speaking of Mickey…check out this really really cute scarf.
tokyowalker09
it looks like leopard print but is actually an outline of MickeyMouse’s head.

They also did a small section on Universal Studios [in Osaka]
tokyowalker10

And a list of new items..food…in conbinis [convenience stores]
tokyowalker11

Totally unrelated,check out the gorgeous coin purse from LV heeheee i have the gold heart shaped version from LV’s valentine range [last year] but this is really pretty toooooooooooo!
tokyowalker12

I should probably write about my trip to Kinugawa but i am kinda lazy to process all the piccies XD
You can have a look at one of the new Liz Lisa bags i bought to carry on this trip
kinu04
Liz Lisa is one of my fave clothing brands.

The main reason why i bought this…
kinu05
So it wont slide off or fall off when i push the luggage around.

And i went to one of the BEST fan meetings i ever attended over the weekend. It was RAIN’s fanmeeting [Rain of NinjaAssassin/FullHouse fame. He's really gorgeous when he dances] but he also brought along the group he produced..aka MBLAQ
mblaq
Some highlights/thoughts
- i decided MIR from MBLAQ is extremely adorable. he has very cute little gestures
- MIR and JOON in singlets dancing to BOOM BOOM POW [my brain almost shut down XD]
- RAIN is indeed a fabulous dancer. Far far better than MBLAQ boys <-- but its ok, they are still young
- SeungHo from MBLAQ used to be my least favourite members [nothing wrong with him, i just like the others more] but now he is my 3rd fave.
- Thunder needs to put on some weight. Poor kid looks like the wind might blow him away
- RAIN has really cute expressions. He is quite the "ageyo" expert.

Pictures and video were not allowed at the event as they will be broadcasting it on TV [mnetjapan cable] in January.

If you manage to catch this on Tv, you will probably see me XD Its almost terrible to admit but i went insane at this event screaming and jumping up and down since the stage was just a few metres in front of me.. I made some new friends though..So Eriko-chan, if you see this..HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

XOXO Yumeko

p.s i was thinking of going to Haneda airport to send MBLAQ off today but i was too busy T-T its a good thing i didnt. Apparently it was PACKED to the MAX as Tohoshinki [TVXQ/DBSK] left Japan on the exact same flight. Haneda isnt too far from my house. Its only 15mins by car. XD

Not a very new song but its on rotation on my ipod XD

    and hey, aren’t those the super lucky fellas, the ones who had the chance to travel together with DBSK and MBLAQ on the same class!
    Or they get an entire room emptied for them on the plane? o.O

  7. sharon says:

  11. conny says:

    the choco mobile is sooooooooooooooooooo cute. i want it ^^ and the liz lisa bag is a dream :) so pretty.

  12. ilyana says:

    Your Liz Lisa bag is gorgeous!! What a great buy!

    I LOVE THE WHITE TAIYAKI!! They sold it here 2-3 months ago at a Japanese fair at Isetan and it was so lovely and chewy, yummmm!

  13. I know you don’t like chocolate, but I do like that phone!!

  14. Diane says:

    I want a tiger bun! Love your Liz Lisa bag it is too cute, looks great for traveling.

  15. miRa says:

    wow!!! the featured phone is tooooooooooo cute!
    i wish they can be used in singapore >.<

    and i hate bag sliding of the luggage too!! hahahas. nice design~~ :D
    <3

  16. Sara Mari says:

    Wow, thank you for introducing Tokyo Walker, it looks so interesting and useful! It really has a wide variety of articles. ^^

    And the Liz Lisa bag… I want it~!! It’s so my style of hand bag, and it’s so useful with that strap so it doesn’t slide off the suitcase. That always happens to me >< haha Although I probably won't be traveling like crazy again this yet.

  17. nefta says:

    omg nice bag!!! btw, i just emailed you, hope you have seen it

  18. Tam says:

    NHK did a piece on shibuya 109! the reporter had to spend a day working in LIZ LISA
    I drooled the whole time xD everything is sooo cute!
    I just found a british website that sells japanese magazines… do you reccomend egg? Im kinda curious about this one coz I looove Kaoru Watanabe, though I don’t think she’s in the latest issues for them coz she’s had a baby recently :( but the baby is gorgeous ^ ^
    my fear is that it’s for people way younger than me I’m 22 :/

    • Bittenbefore says:

      yesss i love this brand! and jesus diamante too! looove that brand too.

      Egg is geared towards girls who like kogal fashion. or sort of. Kogal isnt really done anymore but there are some. When kogal was big, everyone bought egg i think. So now they sorta do some form of gyaru but closer to its kogal roots. wow does that make sense?

      i do think it is for younger market but hey it doesnt matter! i read SWEET and Cawaii and they are probably too young for me XD

  19. kickangel says:

    I absolutely adore the Liz Lisa bag, especially the ribbon detail! The colour is gorgeous too.

    My least fave MBLAQ member has always been G.O. just because he looks like an ahjussi. Hurhur. But I’m not a huge fan of them anyway although their song is addictive.

    Oh, DBSK. How I’ve missed them. Part of me hopes that they’ll remain in Japan where they can actually perform as a group and not resort to having solo activities.

    • Bittenbefore says:

      i looove the ribbon detail too! we have the same taste! will post the other lizlisa bag i got in another post.

      GO has a really nice voice i feel! i would say he has unfortunately become the least fave member of mblaq for me as well.

      i feel sad when i see DBSK together now, they look so distant and uncomfortable. T-T hope things improve

  20. Linh says:

    Aww thanks for the welcome back message! I really appreciate it!

    A lot of people are going Japan this year hehe Hopefully that’ll be me in a few years time XD

    Love your Lisa bag! Very practical indeed :)

    xxx

  21. Justine says:

    Flailing and screaming and getting excited is what being a fangirl is all about~~! I’d probably be the same way with a group I liked/loved (that or I’d faint from the proximity. Ha).

    The Tokyo Walker magazine sounds interesting! I will definitely show it to Kelsie the next time we go. Haha. XD; Your new bag is SO CUTE and I love the pink leopard print suitcase. <3

  22. anijnas says:

  23. Celeste says:

  26. wuzzyangel says:

    Does that mag come in English? It looks full of great info!! Oooh… snazzy bag you picked up there! :) Def will know that YOURS! :) See how much everyone wants to meet you?! Sooo popular! Cuz you’re cool like that! ;)

  27. rene says:

    oh my!
    I can’t believe you saw Rain in person!! I will faint if I EVER EVER see him.
    Can I just ask how did you manage to attend this fan meet?
    I just caught Ninja Assassin, his bod is to die for!
    So lean and muscular at the same time.
    According to my bf, his bod is harder to achieve compared to Taylor’s (of Twilight) buff bod.

  28. sarah says:

    how fun! man i really wanna go back to japan some time T__T
    the fan meeting sounded awesome :3

  29. rasppy says:
