Sarimelody: hime

Today I'll blog about the most exciting and one of the most memorable days in my life! When we were booking our trip to Japan the dates we chose were based on the the GazettE's tour dates and what was the cheapest flight. At first I didn't even realize we were going to be in Tokyo for Halloween

I bought my costume in Finland already cause I wanted to make sure I had an outfit for Halloween in the first place. In Finland Halloween is not celebrated as much as in the U.S or Japan so I was excited to see how it is in other countries~

As I told in the previous post, Sui had re-organised the meeting with Himena on Halloween so when we left to Shibuya I was already wearing my Snow White costume

I was so nervous and when were heading towars the MA*RS store I felt like I was about throw up and faint XD Himena has been my idol for so many years now and she still is one of the fashion icons I take inspiration from. When I saw she was there I can't describe the emotions that run through me, it really was a dream come true

Waaaa ;;;;___;;;;

I was so happy and I was literally shaking all the time. I gave her the present I had got her from Finland (a Moomin towel and My Melody letter set), and she blogged about it and us! It just made me feel so special~ Erika came there right on time and I was so happy I could talk with Himena what I wanted since Erika could say the things to her I couldn't because of my nervousness. After we left I bursted into tears because of all the emotions were coming out and I was so thankful and touched about the whole situation And it was all thanks to Suichan I remeber crying there on the stairs and she was hugging me ;;;__;;; thank you so so much for this opportunity, I will never forget that day, my dreams really came true~

After that we went to take some purikura and on the way there I already met some other Snow White's and went to ask them for a picture that Sui took

Aren't they super cute?

I met some other Snow White's as well when we met up with Pastelbat and her friends!

I laughed so hard when I saw these since my face is so warped by the purikura machine in some pictures and in one it looks like I'm glued on Sui's back XD There were huuuuge queues to the purikura machines on Halloween, the one in Shibuya was so packed that it would've taken hours for us to even get in the place.

After that we went back to the hotel for a moment and Erika left since she had other plans. After some resting and putting on some more makeup me, Sui and Brandon went back to Shibuya to meet Pastelbat and her friends and Katie and all others I didn't even know about at that time

I was just told that we're gonna meet bunch of people XD

Here we are heading to Shibuya 109 and I got to borrow Brandon's cool apple necklace to complete my hime Snow White look!

I was so happy to finally meet Katie and I also met Ru for the first time

They are both so incredibly sweet and fun, I really hope to meet them again sometime~

Our group! Pastelbat's outfit on the left was so creepy, even from up-close she was so scary XD

It was nice to meet her and we talked about Finland too! I didn't know she was half Finnish I was happy to meet the Swedish girls, they were all so tall and beautiful and we joked a lot ~ I managed to talk in swedish a little bit too XD I understood better than I could speak and was able to follow their conversations!

Walking in super crowded Shibuya that night was difficult, especially in the big group that we had. When we managed to get few meters forward by pushing through the crowd, then a handful of people came to ask for a picture XD it happened over and over again - a meter forward and then pictures. I was in so many pictures I lost count! At some point we got split up and lost a part of the group. I was so worried that I swore to myself that if I wouldn't find Sui and Brandon in 20minutes I would leave back to the hotel. Luckily we found each other again and the other members of the group.

The Swedish people had been wise and had reserved a table from a restaurant since everywhere was full. So we had a pretty tight schedule and in the end when people came to ask us for a picture all the time we had to start declining to make it to our plans

Purikura places were full so we didn't get purikura together then anymore and when Pastelbat and her friends left we decided to leave too~

That's all for tonight, I was so tired after that day

Thank you for reading!

Today I'll be blogging about our first days in Tokyo!

As I told in the previous post I went to Japan last October-November together with Sui! We were supposed to meet Himena on the first day as Sui had told her we are coming, but it took us some time to get to the hotel from the airport and then freshen up and get ready after a long flight so we were a bit late from our schedule

We had planned to meet Himena dressed up in hime! So we twinned our coordinates and wore Princess Melody but sadly Himena had already left from work that day~ so we went shopping and to take purikura instead, and Sui messaged with Himena that we would be meeting her on Halloween! Yay~

Many people wanted to come to take pictures with us which was fun at that point XD A lot of people stared too and took paparazzi pictures without our permission but what can you do.. Halloween, which I will be blogging later about was much more chaotic!

I messed up Erika's email address on the purikura machine since it was the first time taking purikura on this trip to Japan so we didn't get digital versions of our hime twin purikura.. ;;_;;

Here are some pictures from Sui that her husband took from us when we were in the purikura booth

Thank you soooo much~ He's so nice too, I'm really happy to have met him too now!

We did meet Tomochan again!

I'm so happy! She was the one informing us Himena had left from work already and also little about her schedules and promised to let Himena know we came to visit her~ I met Tomochan on my previous trip also and she's so sweet and nice

I'm so happy I met her again~

Brandon and Niina shopped at Glad News and we took this photo together with the GN shopstaff as Sui and me were like from different world completely in our Princess Melody dresses XD We also shopped something that day, I bought my new favorite pink bag from Ober Tashe

I also bought a black Delyle Noir set and my new Delyle Noir winter coat that I'm still using this day~ Erika reserved the jackets for both of us when they came out and I wanted to pick mine up right on the first day I came to Tokyo

The next day I had my nail appointment in Shinjuku, but before that all of us went to Harajuku for the first time on this trip! My coordinate was my Yumetenbo shirt and Delyle Noir skirt from the set I had bought the day before

I had a lot of problems with my coordinates in the beginning of the holiday as I hadn't taken much clothes with me from Finland as I planned to buy everything from Tokyo.

Takeshita Street!

Sui was also wearing her new Onespo dress she bought the day before! It suits her Swankiss style so perfectly~ We shopped and took some purikura!

As most of the shops on Harajuku are more Sui's style I wanted to visit the Rady store in OmotesandoI have completely fallen in love with Rady and I bought two dresses on that trip and just recently I ordered more Rady online

Sui was so kind to take these photos of the Rady store which is incredibly gorgeous, and also few pics from me shopping, thank you again soooo much!

Ugh, what happened to my hair.. x____X

After that we went our separate ways as I needed to get to my nail appointment in ShinjukuI was worried if I would find the place and could say in japanese that I have the appointment but the girl at the reception probably guessed from my foreign name that I was the customer and immediately called for my nailist as I walked in XD I had a picture on my phone from the style of nails I wanted and Erika had told me to ask for the pink nail sticker forms they use to sculpture the nails on, so that I would get the maximum length

Thank you so much Erika from reserving the appointment for me, next time I want to reserve it myself and improve my japanese! My nailist didn't speak any english, just few words so all the conversation was in japanese XD And I managed to talk something and tell about Finland! Overall, it was a great experience and I loved my nails
