Touhou


Anybody out there interested in Touhou? The cosplay at conventions is really cool.


Here is someone cosplaying as Cirno from Touhou.

Cirno is probably my favorite character from the series. She is such an idiot sometimes but she is usually relaxed and doesn't have a worry in the world.

My second favorite if I had to say it would be Reimu. She is a shrine maiden but she is very cute in my opinion. She has one of the best costumes in the series. I mean look at this outfit that Reimu wears it's such an amazing outfit.

I mean look at this outfit! Isn't it so cool?

Visual Novels!

Does anybody read them? I am currently reading Steins;Gate. It is an amazing book and I have only just started reading it.

Here's a picture of the "Genius girl."
If you've read the novel you would understand why they call her that. She ends up talking about a bunch of stuff about time travel and all this physics stuff that is WAY out of my league. I could only understand a little bit as my knowledge in that field isn't as great as I would like it to be.

Spoiler!

Anyway I'm at the part where the main character is getting an exorcist because he seen the genius girl killed and he thinks a ghost is following him or something. Yeah the main character is majorly paranoid about everything it would seem like.

He's also with a new "Girl" Character that I've just met for the first time. Although I can't seem to remember her name, haha. Anyways, here a screen shot of took of her while reading.



The new "Girl" is the one on the right.

The opening song for the VN was pretty cool too. I love the lyrics. Check it out!



I really love the lyrics they are truly amazing. I got a video with subtitles for those who cant understand Japanese.

Anime, anyone?

Now I'm a huge fan of Japan. But could you guess that I also love their cartoons too? There cartoons are called "Anime" I spend a little time each month sitting down and watching a show that I purchased in Japan. I can understand Japanese and speak the language but I can't write or read.

Anyway the shows that I have watched in the past are Neon Genesis, K-on(S1&2), Lucky Star, and Higurashi.

The one that I like the most? I would have to say Higurashi. It has such a unique story unlike any other. I want to hear what you guys think. Leave a comment below and tell me what you have been watching or have watched on a previous date.

Here's a picture of the main characters My Favorite character is Rika. She in the front row on the right.

My Visit To Japan: Shopping In Shibuya and Visiting Mt.Fuji!

I did some great shopping in the Shibuya distrect. I picked up some clothing and some things to take home with me to remind me of my trip.

This picture is a crossing in Shibuya, as you can see there is tons of people getting ready to cross the street. Believe it or not, it looks like this at ALL hours of the day. Can you believe that? It's hard too believe. Just imagine this many people crossing the street at midnight! It is truly crazy.

Here is one more if you couldn't believe it. Here is the famous busy intersection at night time. It is crazy! I don't know why it is so busy at this time. It is great however. The lighting in Shibuya is truly an amazing sight for the eyes.

Well, well, Let's move on shall we? 

I took the train to see Mt.Fuji. It was phenomenal as this was my first time actually going there. As many times as I've been to japan you would have thought I would have at least been to Mt.Fuji at least once!

Here is some pictures that were snapped after arriving at Mt.Fuji.


I also took a visit to "Children's World" after we arrived at Fuji. Here is a picture that was snapped of Children's World. It has Mt.Fuji in the background. Outstanding I must say.

Here is one of the baby sheep from Children's World. It is so cute! I wish more would photos were taken.

There isn't much more to say. I took the train back to Shibuya and walked around the wonderful city for a while. I ended up going back to my hotel and going straight to bed as I was exhausted from all the walking I did.

I'll be sure to post part 3! I went to Tokyo Tower. A must see if you ever get the chance to travel to Japan.

My Visit To Japan: My Hotel and Its Features! Part 1

Japan was one of my favorite places to visit! I have been there on more then one occasion. The first time I landed in Tokyo. It truly is a wonderful city.

I landed in Tokyo and I stayed at the Shinjiku Hotel which is located in the Shibuya district. Now I have been loyal to that hotel as every time I've traveled to Tokyo I would stay at this hotel. It has many wonderful things about it. My most favorite one being the chance to go down to their dining area they call Villazza which is basically a trattoria style restaurant, a cafe and bar, a casual relaxing cafe. Then for the most memorable experience you can go the the bar they call the "Bar Ku Kon."

These are various photos from the dining hall. 

This photo is the Villazza.

This next photo is a photo of the "Bar Ku Kon." As you can see it has a nice relaxing atmosphere to it.

The hotel is truly an amazing place and if I choose to travel back to Japan I would definitely stay at Shinjuku Hotel again. They treat their customers with uttermost loyalty and the food is tasteful and great too!

Stay tuned for Part 2 of my visit to japan. I did some wonderful shopping in Tokyo and after wards visited Mt.Fuji! I'll put part 2 here once I have finished writing it!
