Day 4!! Shibuya and Pulse Factory concert!!

Soo! Today it’s about the fourth day! First we stood up really early on this day to get breakfast from our guest mother. It was sooo delicious! It was an orange, chicken nuggets and toast with butter! After that we got ready for concert day and Shibuya! First we went to Asakusa to get new shoes for Nadja. There was a really cheap shoe store! After I paid the old salesman asked us where we are from. After we told him we are from Germany he suddenly spoke a little German and told us his sister or cousin or something is actually living in Frankfurt! We were sooooo surprised!!!!

 We tired after that to find the ATM to get money from my mastercard and Nadjas maestro card. Actually there is still a big problem in Japan to get money from mastercards and maestro cards who were issued outside of Asia – ESPECIALLY maestro cards are the problem. You just can get money from ATMs from AEON bank. Luckily there is an ATM from AEON bank at Asakusa Tobu Station – so please try there to get money from your mastercard / maestro card, everyone!
Than we finally went to our way to Shibuya. Here I first showed Nadja the famous statue from Hachiko. She was sooo amazed and almost cried because the story behind Hachiko is really touching – please check it out, everyone! After that we went to the information corner to get our JR Pass for our journeys to the Johnnys concerts / travels to Kyoto, Osaka and many more!!!  

(T___T)/~♥ Hachiko!!





After we finally got our JR Pass we went to Shibuya 109 to buy new bags. Actually we both took bags from Germany with us but Nadjas was too big and mine MUCH too big so we decided to get smaller ones. Luckily there is still Sales time in Shibuya 109 until the end of July so we found kinda cheap and cute bags for us. We bought both the same bag – but me in beige and Nadja in pink! Also we bought some more hair stuff for our Yukata and some fans! 

Finished with shopping we took our way to the Ruido K2. It’s actually a really small concert club in Shibuya, not so far away from the station! Here was a big indie j-rock event with the band Pulse Factory that I actually love a lot! There were I think around 10 or 11 bands. Just around 40 – 50 people were at the concert and me and Nadja were the only foreigners. So it was no wonder that we got too much attention. For example the singer of one band pointed at us and said “THANK YOU! SORRY!” to make sure that he saw that we are there. After every band a guy (dressed as female police officer.. don’t ask me why XD) interviewed one person of every band. 

The singer of this band suddenly said “Cute foreigners!!!!” and pointed at us again. All other (just female) visitors of the concerts went a few steps back to make the view free to us. We were so embarrassed!!! Haha. Than he tried to speak in English. “I’m Japanese!” and he introduced himself to us. I just said “OK OK OK!” to make sure that he please stop finally to give us so much attention!!! XD The band who made us dance and jump the most was of course Pulse Factory. They are SOOO amazing! It was amazing to see them live even if they just played 4 songs. After that there was also a really cool band who actually sung just in English. The singer and the guitarist of this band also pointed often to us and while the MC the singer asked us “Are it just the two of you?!” to make sure we are the only foreigners here… XD 

We decided to leave after that band. I think we missed 3 bands (also Fo’xTails which I wanted to see but it was already SO late and we were super hungry…). We went upstairs because we wanted to buy stuff from Pulse Factory but they already closed the sales!!! (T_T) BUT!!! Actually the singer of the band was still there. He talked to us and thanked us for coming for them. I tried to tell him that I want a CD and a Bracelet (for Nadja) – and he just got the stuff for us so we were able to buy it!! (*__*) I was so so happy! Also I bought a CD of the English singing band (The name of this band is ‘PERFECT GIFT’. The singer of the band was also there and just sold the CDs. He is really fluent in English so we had a little talk. He told us that he really wants to come with his band to Germany but it’s difficult. I told him that it’s not difficult – he just should come and make a concert XD

We left than the little club and head into an Izakaya to end this day with a nice dinner and some cocktails! I really, really enjoyed that day soooo much – even if it was so strange for me (and also for Nadja) to get so much attention just because you are foreigner… :’D And also I know now that Japanese fangirls can even be MORE EMBARRASSING than German ones…. Lections of this evening, haha. XD But it was an seriously amazing day (like all days until now..) that I will always remember!!
