I made it back from Tokyo alive, hurrah! Johnny's 2020 World Round Two was pretty great; I was on an aisle, so even though I wasn't up in their faces like last time, I did breathe the same air as Jinguji, Miyachika, Matsukura Kaito, and Fuma for about two seconds each. XD; I'm working on a report now, so I'm hoping to get it up by this weekend! Also, the stage photos were pretty awesome (photos of Juniors!!) and I think yomimashou is looking into getting a scanner soon, so maybe I can share them!

In other news, the Sexy Second info is out! The covers look amazing! They're almost fair, it's crazy. And no juniors in sight! As much as I love their usual backers, I'm happy to see them separated, because Sexy Zone needs to establish themselves as debuted Johnny's and not juniors. I'm sort of annoyed by the towel colours, though. Why is everyone but Fuma and Shori up in the air? I liked Kento as green, Marius as pink, and Sou as orange or blue, but even if Kento needs to be orange, I don't care, so long as Marius isn't orange. =___=;;

So happy about the covers~ I just want to buy a million copies... why are albums so expensive XD I guess they have to keep playing with us with the colors for a while, though... :/

Yeah, I suppose that's true, but orange, really?? It doesn't suit him at all :P Also, I find it weird that they keep messing with Kento's colour, of all things...

[yomimashou.livejournal.com]

Yeah, orange really doesn't suit him :< And yeah... I don't really know how things went with other groups before they had set colors to compare XD

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's true. It feels like Arashi has had theirs forever. XD

Yay for making it back from Tokyo alive. Though you can just stay in Tokyo. All the cool people live here. Mostly joking about that. Good to know that the performance was awesome! How far is it for you to get to Tokyo?

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

I wish I could just stay in Tokyo! But unfortunately, my rent is a lot cheaper here and my apartment is a lot bigger than it would be in Tokyo. It's about two hours from my local train station to Ikebukuro; I take a local line and then the Shounan Shinjuku Line~ The performance was really good though, and I'm sad I'm not seeing it a third time... XD

Rent prices really are insane. But its like Los Angeles prices, which is where I moved from.

And as much as i travel for work, I need to be in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Sadly. Since as often as I have to take the Shnkansen from Shinagawa, the almost hour to there is a pain already, and thats being 20 min by train from Shinjuku.

My next apartment will be bigger. Because I miss being able to have home parties. And i miss having a cat. Priorities, they are special. I could probably go cheaper, but I like the neighborhood, and the local bars where I am making friends and things, which makes choices hard....

Ah, yeah. I'm from Delaware, so property values are not exactly at an all time high. XD; I did used to live in Shinjuku during college, though!

Yeah, I'd really like to live in Tokyo, but with my current lifestyle, it's just not possible. I really like my job and my students, so I don't really want to leave the area in terms of work, and with Tokyo prices, there's no way I could afford to live the way I do now. So... I understand the conundrum. But good luck!
