So I am going to fill in the last few months not quite in
order! I will start with all the Christmas related things as that makes most
sense to me as we are still only a few weeks after Christmas. Matt and attended
Hyper Japan Christmas Market again this year. You can see previous Hyper Japan fun here. What with all the lovely train
problems we are having here in the UK we decided to drive up and I would
happily do it again as the parking was so reasonable. We got there pretty early
as there were some live performances we wanted to see and we wanted to make a
whole day of it.
We started off by watching the The Hoopers live who describe
themselves as “eight girls dressed as beautiful boys,” and they are an androgynous
J-POP band. They were amazing and I really need to download their album as I
REALLY enjoyed their music!
We then did lots of shopping, much to my dismay most the
Yuri!! On Ice things were sold out, but I got a badge. However I bought plenty
of other things! I really enjoyed looking around. We watched some live
performances and thoroughly looked over all the stalls and shops. I also had the most amazing waffle cone thing that I have and expect will ever have again. Seriously it was just heaven in a waffle cone thing. mmmmmmmmm........
We then ended the day by watching The Tomboys, who were a
sort of Japanese/English punk band influenced by the Sex Pistols. Although the
music wasn’t to my taste they were amazing! They were also the happiest looking
girls I have ever seen ever. They were fantastic to watch live!
One thing I do really love about the Christmas Market is when it gets dark and all the Christmas lights come on, so we stayed long enough to see those. Seriously they are sooo pretty and really get you in that Christmas mood! After that we jumper back in the car and then headed home after a very long tiring day.
I was rather happy with my haul! I managed to get my first dōjinshis (Makoharu and Kurotsuki) I also got a lovely Free! (Makoharu and Reigisa) Christmas decoration. Along with a Victuuri badge, sweets, a choker and a Himouto Nendroid. All in all a good haul if you ask me! I also picked up some Christmas gifts for people that went down VERY well!
Anyhow, I cannot wait for the summer one now! I MIGHT even cosplay for that one but we shall see as I never got to wear my Totoro dress I made.
