DTB

If Nami was in hollywood and Yoohei was a manager....

YO YO so yeah.. here we go, YO!

After six months away from Sake, i had forgotten the Sake Kick.

----------------

1) Sake isnt meant to be taken in shots

2) Stand up between drinks in order to gauge your current status.
3) Dont signal cheers everytime you cant talk to someone in order to connect with them.
4) When you know you are going to be drinking eat a lot before hand!!

Great lessons learnt after todays June DTB party. Nami and I woke up early and spent most of the day just laz-ing around then went to Ueno to meet Nami`s crew. DTB.... DTB is a club that Nami joined when she entered Toyo university several years ago. They have spent numerous amounts of time together and have since formed a family like connection to one another. I first met them all back in 05 and have always felt safe with them and with each meeting our bond naturally grows stronger. Heres the introduction:

This is Yoohei on the right, Nami and Sessan. Sessan stays in

Yokohama, so we were very lucky to have his company. Yoohei has previously taken me to a nightclub, Kareoke and the odd other crazy places.

This is Kazuki (his birthday opening my present) =)

DTB gets together once a month to celebrate all those whos birthday coinsides with that month. Lucky for Kaz hes the only one born in June. So he was the centre of attention. He was extremely happy and suprised at everyones thoughtfulness..

Kaz is also the one who tried to teach me to bowl last year. Unfortunately if you have seen me bowl, some people you just cant help no matter how good the teacher is. . .

<----- Rio (girl) and Takumi. Takumi is Rio`s boyfriend and is not part of DTB. I last met Takumi back in 05 where we talked about playstation games and tourist sights. Hes a kind and thoughtful person and great to have around once you get to know him. Rio is also great, smart, fun and her Japanese is the most comprehend able.

Lastly we have Marripe (on the left), Yuuske (middle) and Izumi. Marripe works at a kimono shop and while she is shy shes kind and fun to be around with. Shes often comes with Nami and I on her day off to go shopping and hang out etc. Yuuske is hilarious! When i first met him he came straight out with very abrupt questions but together with Yoohei these two have been my left and right arms.. ESP for last nite! cheers homies!.. Lastly theres Izumi, shes very cheerful and bubbly, opposite of shy but has a very nice sensitive side. There was one other person too who unfortunately isnt in a big photo but his Name is Ii-chan and he sat next to me for most of last nite drinking. He was commented on being the person who had changed the most as he normally doesnt wear a suit..

Well thats the lot. Sessan took great care of me on the train and Nami made sure i got home safely. It was a Fun nite (well from what i can remember) now i just gotta get some shut eye for Tmrs ROCK day.. Peace yall
