So a week after my last post I went to Tokyo for 3 days and got to check out the Tokyo Game Show. I've always wanted to go to one of those things ever since I found out about E3, and it was pretty much what I expected. I got to see some people walking around cosplaying, got to try out some of the new games including the new Killer Instinct that'll only be for Xbox One unfortunately, and bought an overpriced Kingdom Hearts keychain. I also got to watch my neighbor get whooped by Daigo (famous street fighter player among competitive gaming nerds). Cool experience, but since I don't play games as much as I used to, I'm cool with missing it next year.
The next day, on Sunday, we went to see sumo! We bought a small box section to sit in which was really small, maybe the size of a standard dinner table, for a little over $100 a person to sit in. I got there around 1 and watched the rest of the matches until 6. Both the yokozunas won though, so there was no cushion (zabuton) throwing into the ring, which would have happened, had the yokozunas lost. That night we also went to an AKB48 cafe in Akihabara and got served by a real AKB member (I think).
That same night we went to a place called Robot Restaurant. It wasn't so much a restaurant as it was an entertainment show with near naked girls dancing around with robots. It wasn't my idea to go but it was an awesome show! Very erotic! I want that tank!
Atsushi Hirano met us there for the show, and then we went back to his place to sleep which was ironically in Fujisawa. We went back to where I used to live and it was really nostalgic. The next day we went to see the Daibutsu and visit a few temples before I headed back. It was a good trip and hopefully I'll have more of those before I go back to the states.
I just have to say that there is a lot of drama in Kesennuma with the ALTs here. Lots of people don't like this or that ALT, it's hard trying to juggle who to hang out with and who I shouldn't invite to this or that. I'm getting a little tired of it all.
