3rd Year Pyro

Today was the main reason why I am in tokyo during AUgust.. Seeing as i missed Nami`s birthday and didnt make it in time for the cherry blossoms, i had to be here for the fireworks..

Anyway from the begining... We talked with Aki and ended up training trogether to Shinjuku where we departed ways.. I was on a hunt for headphones and a discman.. Nami had a card that had accumulated enough points to equal the value of 6000yen and she said i could use it. So after looking around i decided the best place was the one where i saw the discman yesterday. Unfortunatly when we arrived i had miss read the sign and it wasnt as cheap as i thought.

I decided to give it a miss and i couldnt make up my mind on the headphones so we`re just going to have to save that for another day.. Anyhoo, we grabbed some tullys coffee and some snacks to eat then made our way to the trainstation. On the way there, a huge crowd gathered around and a girl was singing in the middle. I thought she was good (although we only heard the last part of her last song) and i asked Nami to help me buy her cd. We did and she even signed it.. WHOO HOO too bad its only a single but hey, shes awesome enough to make it big..

Back to the fireworks stuff, Nami had a rough idea where it was held but wasnt sure, so we followed people who were wearing Yukkata (summer version of a kimino kinda) and jumped on the same train. We continued to watch them, until the train annoucer said the next two stops are going to be busy due to fireworks display.. Yay we made it..

So we decided to get off on the second stop thinking it was going to be less crowded but ended up transfering back to the first. It was pretty packed and it was nearly set off time. The train announcer kindly suggested that we buy our returning ticket now as on the way home everyone will be buying.. So we did..

It was only suppose to take 15 mins to get to the bank to watch the show,but due to the mass amount of people it took much longer. But it didnt seem long tho, there were heaps of little stores selling drinks etc. We decided to buy a couple of beers and some noodles..

The fireworks started going off as we were walking, but we could still see them. When we finally got to the spot, we made a nice little area on the bank side and watched the fireworks.. The camera so doesnt cature the beauty of their fireworks.. They were huge, colourful, loud and shapely.. They had star ones, bright flashes, etc.. We took heaps of videos so I`ll show you guys some time.. It was awesome, the weather was great!! We opened our beers cheered to our 3rd year aniversary and watched in amazement..

After the 1hr 20 min show we jumped back into the crowd and made our way home. Along the way, i forgot to get my ticket back after the machine, we jumped on the wrong train that lead us much further from our station and the trains were super busy. But hey, in the end we got to our station, got KFC, brought a few cds and enjoyed the great nite.. WICked stuff.. im outtie.. Pe BooM bOOm ace.
