Universal Studios Japan

BACKBLIP

This is where Doogie gets to come to WORK every day!!!!

After Tokyo yesterday and then Urizins straight after I was pretty beat so got a wee lie in then headed to the park for lunchtime with Anna - we had a concert straight after doogs finished work to see Owl City. Was a wee half day at the park to see doogs perform in his show, then the waterworld to see Anna's boyfriend Adam perform his stunts.

After all that excitement Adam, Anna and I hit some daisuki sushi - which means I LOVE SHUSHI, and I do, but this was the real deal in Japan! SO LUSH

Doogs and I raced home from the park to head out to the gig

This next bit was written by myself at the time and emailed to myself and Id like to keep it as memory to myself of that night, this has been a bit of a travel journal.

"Owl City Kicked ass - superfan Naomi came with us - the crowd where dead with no warm up but that didnt ruin our time - then we trotted off to slices for some grub when Malikay arrived with his friend Pearl a rich japanese fan of his - she lay down a ¥10000 note and paid for our dinner!!! From there we headed to Shanti - a quiet upstairs bar - we got a window seat - started with a few more beers - ended with HUKKA - Erin left early at this stage buy Kenji arrived with Checketts so we got loads of snaps with them there!! It was on fire - Ed Ethan me Checketts Dougie and Kenji all then moved on to Ammona - between the two places we saw a moving cab with a Rooster on the roof and cheketts and doogie went down on one knee to sing lady in red to a little Japanese lady in a red coat.

kenji hooked us up in Ammona with discount entry which include bar tokens - private reserved table and then the drinks continued to be free for the rest of the night - another superfan then gave Kenji ¥2000 for our cab home!!!!

This is when the fun got better - this is sorta 3am ish- Ethan and Ed had gone home and the battery on the camera died - we find a ¥500 cab to get home- Doogie Kenji and I had grabbed burgers from lawsons- Checketts had not - doogs tells the guy Kaigandori house a Tempozan and the guy says Hai - a USJ? We all nod yeah we're USJ! But re iterate - Tempozan onagaishimas - 20 mins later the boys are confused about where we are- Checketts is speaking japanese with a cockney accent screaming at the guy - the guy the says USJ ? We all then shout NO TEMPOZAN l - the guys gone the wrong way round the peninsula to the theme park not where Doogie lives- he starts going down back streets then gets to a dead end and has to reverse and does so fast Checketts is screaming turn the metre off turn it off!! Doogie makes the guy turn it off as it's well over what it should be - then we see a McD's - we explain for him to go through the drive through - he does Yay for Checketts - finally we get home after this- mental night indeed! But so many belly laughs - not to mention the dancing on the podium with Kenji - who could not believe that I liked the same music as him so started calling me Cousin lol"
