Day3 : tokyo

*back dated entry*

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! today is going to be a very fulfilling day!!! there are 3 main objectives... 1st is go sensoji to pray for good luck, 2nd is chiong lucky bags in harajuku & 3rd will be going for my KinKi kids concert!!!!

so today we woke up pretty early cause from what i heard, there would be tonnes of people flocking to temple/shrines to pray so i want to avoid the crowd so that i still have time to fly down to harajuku to shop... so we reached sensoji close to 10am & to my surprise, the place was not very pack.... i would say it had much more visitors than normal but it wasnt pack till you can hardly walk.... so that was good....

didnt take much photo today cause not going to anywhere new... i actually took picture of skytree from afar but my bloody phone siao then photos were corrupted =( since it was new year day, i went to check my fortune for 2015 & i gotten bad luck =( super sian.... so i went to tie the bad luck paper on the rack, hopefully can keep the unlucky things there.....

so after that, we chiong down to harajuku & again, we were surprised... there wasnt alot of people at takeshita street... in fact i felt there was more people yesterday than today... but that's a good thing since we can walk around freely.... for the first time, i FINALLY experience japan new year sale... & excuse me... it's OMG AWESOME!!! let me share some pictures first...

ok... so after shopping, we gotten some snack along harajuku & it SNOWED!!! i always read online that it's somewhat like confirm that it will snow on 1st jan & it DID!!! YEAH!!! so happy to see snow for the first time!!! it was really light snow but hey... i still find it super amazing!!!! after some snack, we went back to hotel to put down my loot before heading down to tokyo dome!!!

laqua city

KinKi Kids M concert

tokyo dome

i always wanted to contribute my maiden concert visit to KinKi Kids & i DID it!!!! tokyo dome was really HUGE!!!! i was like sitting somewhere at the back & when i looked down, the amount of people was HUGE!!!! then stupid me didnt know where to buy those concert merchandises so i went inside the dome & thought they will sell things inside but apparently the queue was OUTSIDE!!!! i wanted to buy the light stick but the tiny stores inside the dome DIDNT sell!!! they only had photos & jackets... so i went inside the concert without light stick =( it felt TERRIBLE!! cause every single audience had one, whether it was from the concert merchandise or a normal light stick... i had NONE!!! so i cant wave but nonetheless, the concert was AWESOME!!! seeing KinKi Kids performance live was really very different from online.... tsuyo was so damn cute!!! man... i was like practically bouncing & screaming when they appeared on stage... but hey... i wasnt the only one... EVERYBODY stood up & waved their lightsticks..... the 10k yen tickets really worth it.... but hubby was sleeping inside since he not into KinKi.... but who cares.... =p

NOW!!! the moment of truth is here!!! let me reveal what i gotten inside my lucky bags....

Luceo 5800yen lucky bag

 inside Luceo lucky bag, you get a coat, 2 knit top, 1 knit cardigan, 1 bottom & this sweet shape pillow arm warmer... all these things for 5800yen!!! come on man.... to buy a cheapo coat from taobao already cost me SGD$30+ & some more quality was just average.... i would say this Luceo bag was the most worthwhile bag that i gotten....

tutuanna 1000yen lucky bag

 hmm... i would say tutuanna bag was ok... you get 5 pairs of socks & 2 pairs of stockings... but all these were not suitable to wear in SG.... so not really worthwhile

paris kids 315yen lucky bag

 paris kids sell accessories... they had several variety of lucky bags, some just for ear rings, hair accessories & etc.... i think the things they gave were not really useful but it was cheap so ok lo...

aimerfeel 3500yen lucky bag

 aimerfeel sell inner garments & my friend tole me this brand has very comfy bra... for 3500yen you get 3 bra set, 1 extra panty & a pouch.... quite good bargain i would say

7000yen lucky bag

 i couldnt remember this brand... think it was momo something... this brand sell more mori to loli-ish kind of clothes.... really lovely.... but compared to the items you get from Luceo, i think latter was better

2000yen lucky bag

 i think the shop name was audrey or something, it was the last boutique store if you enter from the JR harajuku station side... you get 2 jacket, 1 shawl like stuff, 1 dress & pouch for 2000yen... good bargain but the items didnt look very nice

swimmer 3000yen lucky bag

 swimmer is a popular brands in japan, they sell all sorts of cute stuff... so it was one of my main target for this lucky bag spree... they had 2 types of lucky bags... 1500yen & 3000yen... since latter looked much bigger & heavier... kiasu me of cause gotten the 3000yen bag & it really had ALOT of stuff inside....

items inside swimmer lucky bag

when i opened the lucky bag i was shock by the amount of items which also explained the weight... the bag was really heavy & i had a hard time carrying it back to hotel....  i would say they have 4 main categories of items.... first was accessories + bag, second was stationery, third was kitchen stuff & lastly the room deco.... really ALOT of items for 3000yen... really value for $ but i would say most of the items were not really useful.... 

so above were the bags i gotten from harajuku.... i only intended to get like 1-2 bags for this trip but obviously i couldnt control myself in harajuku =p so girls, please do go to japan during its new year sales.... the things are seriously cheap... you dont have to get clothes, almost everything has lucky bags... be it food, bags & even contact lens.... can really shop till you drop =)
