[Japan Photos]: Shinjuku + Shibuya  
Phew~ ... only a few more photos to go and we're done! Yay (^^'') ...
And only one more week and I'll be in Japan again. (o__o'')

This time it's Shinjuku and Shibuya - two very different places :D Hope you enjoy the photos~

In Shinjuku (新宿) we went to the ... I think it was the government building (Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building)?! ... can't exactly remember (^^') .... there you can go to the highest floor for free (!!!). Awesome view of Tokyo up there!



But as you can see it was pretty cloudy that day (T__T) ....



Already inside of the building. Random shot (^^')>



And already up at the highest floor! See? Great view!! If only it wasn't cloudy! (~_~)



As I do not live in a HUGE city, I have never NEVER seen such high skyscrapers! It was really impressive!!! (^-^)v



So many buildings, offices, cars and stuff. Amazing (o___o') ....





We were SO HIGH we could look DOWN to other skyscrapers!!!!!! *spazzes* Yeah, I'm like a little kid, I know! XD











Yeah ... yeah ... you CAN see Mt. Fuji ..... if it's clear and NOT cloudy ;___; ..... *headdesk*




... Anyway on to the (probably) more interesting part!! -> Shibuya (渋谷)!!!





KYAH!!!~ I always ALWAYS (!!!) wanted to touch Hachikou!!! ;_____;
(Please ignore that weird guy XD)
Hachikou is probably one of the most popular "things" of Shibuya??!!! XDDD I first saw him in the anime "Super GALS" 5 years ago (^^'') ...





And of course he also appears in a lot of jdramas ^___^ To name just one: Gal Circle!
Ahm, yes a lot of Gals XDDD ... well Shibuya is a part of Tokyo especially for youngsters / teenagers and also all the ganguros, gals and stuff :)
"I" am probably already way too old for Shibuya, but it was nevertheless fun to be there :D



Hachi is a famous "meeting point" in Shibuya, but same goes for this thingie *points up* ... whatever it is called (o__O'') ... anyone knows?



Well, one of the first things you see when you come out of the station XDDDD Always screens, huge posters and stuff with "our stars"! (*__*)





No, I'm not going to say: "Nagase is everywhere", because it's not true (this time XD) ...





As you can see lots of people ^-^





Even more people and I see Okada!!~ (*___*)



Matsuda Shota (*_*)



Last time it was a Kimuraya (as expected XD) and this time it's a shop where you can buy Kames!! Yay~ (NOT! XDDD)





Back then NOVA schools were still EVERYWHERE! (^^'') ...



YAAAY!!! Purikura time!!! (*__________*) ... and it's sooooooo much fun! XDDD



But it looks better with Japanese people on it, I guess (T__T) ... XDDD



That was near the station .... actually we weren't allowed to take a photo of it, but uh ... they told us AFTER we already took that one! XDDDD ... *ahem*



Shibuya at night! (*____*)





The famous Starbucks in Shibuya, right in front of the station (more or less XD)! Unfortunately we didn't go there! ;_____; .... Up there you must have a great view!! (*__*)







the famous Shibuya 109 ^^ .... although I didn't go there (^^')



YAY!!!~ Karaoke time!!~ Stupid me always tried to sing Japanese songs where you only had the texti IN JAPANESE!!!! I tried to sing songs like Orange Range's Ikenai Taiyou and other jdrama openings that were "in" back then :D



Uhm .. well ... that ... is .... [livejournal.com profile] hesaki and me both basically hate Tackey and Tsubasa ... but we just HAD to sing that song!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD And it was sooooo~ much fun!! ;P



There are so many karaoke bars! It's hard to choose!! ^^





At least Shibuya "lives" at night! I once went to Akihabara, because I wanted to take some nice night shots, but Akiba is dead at night (^^') .........



There's this old train wagon right beside Hachikou! I just thought it's nice! .... But the quality of this shot is not so good, sorry (^^')



Random photo.



This photo was taken at the station building. You can see how many people there are! But there are tons more during the weekends of course!! (^-^')



And that's at the station directly (^^)





Okay, that's it!!

Okay :)
1€ is about 1.4819 US$ right now, so 20€ ~ 30$

I see! ^-^
Well I guess when you're dad was still in Germany there was no Euro back then XDDD
Until 2001 (I think XD) we had "DM = Deutsche Mark" as currency :D
