@SparkleSalad and @KatjaThera I am glad you two had a good time in the gala.. Not seeing Yuzu after coming all the way must be sad but you can still enjoy his favorite thing right?

 

I hope you both have fun in Japan, and a safe trip back home

Thank you!

 

For myself, I think I didn't actually come to the point of believing I'd see him, so it didn't hit me that hard...

 

Oh and I forgot to mention 5 other swans found new homes today. I'm sorry I gave so few, but Monday, having my wanting tickets sign, it was awkward to approach people to give them swans, and today I mentioned why, so... yeah. But I'll take good care of them and bring them to Milan!

 

The last three I gave today were to some ladies who were very happy to hear people around the world are supporting him and I confirmed to them that he IS very popular all around the world!

Somewhat OT, but thinking of my trip to Sendai tomorrow, I saw a post somewhere that there was an Irene shop at NHK and they had had Yuzu merchandise (calendars, mostly, I think) but were all sold out. I didn't even see the shop, though we walked around a bit. But I was wondering if there might be any chance to find those at the Ice Rink Sendai shop... It feels a bit weird to go there just for that, since I've never skated and I'm not sure I want to risk my limbs there, a world away from home...

 

Thoughts, ideas, advices? ^_^;

I went to Ice Rink Sendai last week and the section for the memorabilia and stuff was closed off--they were doing some construction. That said, I barely glanced around so you might see more of it than I did! You can always drop by the Poster/Photo exhibit while you're there!

The poster/photo exhibition is the main reason I'm going lol. I had heard they were doing some works there, but didn't see much on the site... I guess I'll see then ^^ (Thinking of taking some swans along, too)

You can go to Matsushima too if you feel like it. It's just a train ride away from Sendai, and the views are pretty nice! Wish I could meet you there for the swans, sigh.

Oh, you don't have any swans? Maybe we could meet in Tokyo then, depending on how much longer you'll be here. I have another week lol

Heading to Karuizawa tomorrow lmao and then I'll only be in Tokyo for one more night (basically to sleep) and off to Narita  I squeezed in as much of Japan as I could, hahaha. Wish I could stay longer!!

Ah, I see... Well enjoying Japan is important, so please do that!

Sadly no, it's too far after all... (and I don't like Korea as much as Japan to have two reasons ^_^; ) i am going to Milan, though...

 

And found the two Yuzu calendars (not the Ice Rink Sendai ones, the wall and desk ones)!

@SparkleSalad & @KatjaThera, I think this fan is talking about you guys.

Haha that's us, Ms. Swan and Ms. Koala. I think it's probably one of the three ladies I last approached, who gave us lots of fliers lol They were super nice!

@yuzuangel @Hydroblade Japanese swan invasion complete.

 

(Also I love that I’m good at Japanese by association. Thanks for letting me profit from your hard work, @KatjaThera!)

 Wheeere? Are they worth it? Which one do you recommend? Is it Swan wall calendar of Puple Pants?

Just now, SparkleSalad said:

 Wheeere?

lol you're welcome. Though I'm sure you're much better than I was when I was first praised for my good Japanese lol (and I only knew like words)

 

And I found them at Libro in Asakusa (Asakusa Rox). Exactly where I was hoping to find them lol (I bought several calendars from there last year, with kitties and such, so I knew they must have at least had them. But they still did.)

 

And the invasion will probably conclude tomorrow... as I'm taking the swans with me to Sendai...
