don't want to bore the shit out of you, honestly...my trip is mainly for AKB, Akihabara, maybe a little Takayama countryside, and Kyoto, this will be my fourth time in Japan, i know where i need to go.

The crazy thing is, when I see a girl dressed like that now, I don't even look twice, I just say, 'Oh, she's Japanese"

so if she gets married to a rich guy on the fly..she can throw the garter to the gold-digger of honor.

Next Spring. Late March or early April. We've all used our vacation for this year. Yeah, it's a ways a way. But not so far away when you consider MM tickets sometimes go on sale 3 months in advance like this Spring's S8B tour.


Do you want to go with us? At least for the 4 or 5 days in the Tokyo area? That'd be real cool. Our group would then have a real AKB48 wota to show us what is what.

not sure if i want to see MM in concert, despite my love for Ai-chan, i just want to see AKB, and all the hot Japanese girls of Tokyo...visit my depachika, mennekan pastry shop in Ginza, maybe a little kyoto, and a few more obsessive concerts...but i will give it a thought, thanks...

3 of those in a onsen, bottle of sake and some takoyaki, might be worth 10,000 yen...hahahah

:rofl:

That's why you should go with me.

yeah, perhaps he'd be better off going with wynter in '09...
think he'd be bored shit tagging along with me...
a day full of akihabara and he'd be running out of the maid otaku fest. not sure what he wants to see, temples, onsen, countryside? tokyo has plenty, but i have seen the touristy stuff, i don't mind going back to a few, but on very limited time....

10,000....that's a bit kechi, my man........10,000 wouldn't even buy you a glance in your direction.

100,000 might put you in play, to have a nice day. :beaten:

And B-san would be going with Q, right? :beaten:

honestly, i don't make much of a tour guide, but then again i have been there 3 times now, and know what the hell getting lost in the trainstation meccha of the metropolis is like to make my way around the maze. I have a few places in mind to show people, but hell the have to ride the way of otakuism to get thru this shit.

i highly doubt now he'd be interested in going, if not with me, who knows when...his best chance is in '08, unless he jumps on a tour package with JTB, or with Wynter, atleast then he won't be bore shit with otaku's like myself, but you'll miss out on the hot shibuya girls, and maids in cafe...hahahahah. :nut: :bleh:

I don't think he'd be bored with YOU. Just with what you'd be spending your time doing. If B-san is going for the first time (and he is), he's gonna wanna see a lot more than just pretty Japanese girls, ya know? He WILL want to see all the temples, the countryside, etc, plus all the major city attractions. I mean, I can't really speak for him, but that's what I'D wanna spend my time doing. Check out the culture in its entirity.

I can understand why someone who has visted Japan numerous times (like yourself) would already have a refined idea of what he/she would want to see upon going again.

You sound a bit offended and you shouldn't be. :) Different likes, different perspectives, that's all.

right, B-san is cool, but right...he'd be bored checking out AKb/Akiba, and well, not sure about the J-girls, i actually think he may be entertained somewhat...
as far as temples etc...i've seen them, but i would be open to seeing Asakusa Nakamise for the 4th time, they have cool souvenir shops and the temple, if not overwhelming crowded as it was last time, might be worth some photos. I would be interested in eating at a few nice okonomiyaki, tempura places, possibly, then again, eating the onigiri place in Akihabara while shopping and waiting in line for hours, i can do too.
but i think honestly, he'd have a better time going with you, or another person that can give him a more general view of Japan, don't get me wrong, i am not offended, maybe my sarcastic overtones, portrayed it that way, not to be misunderstood...
and plus i love things all Japanese, so it is not just AKB-Japanese girls, Akihabara, its quite a bit more why i am so into Japanese culture, i loved it since the days of Transformers, 80's.

Well, like I've said over and over again, I don't want to hinder you from what you really want do and apparently it all revolves around AKB48.

And quite honestly, I don't wanna hang with the other AKB48 guy.




But I do wanna go to Japan... And go with someone who I know and knows their way around.

So what do I do?
