On the way to the Kirby Cafe.

Kirby Cafe
Trip back to Tokyo! Girlfriend got tickets for this and wanted to go. Turned out to be better than expected, I'm usually skeptical of this kind of thing.

Last metal show
Caught one last metal show before leaving Tokyo. Always loved this shot, the colors and lighting at the end of the show were amazing.

Kingdom Hearts orchestra performance
We managed to get tickets to this shortly before leaving Tokyo. What a great show!

Moving day
Leaving behind our life in Tokyo to back stateside. Bittersweet, since I really did love living there - even with life complications. It was a necessary move though, for career and other purposes. Will always have fond memories of this place!

Walking towards Sasazuka

Roaming Yokohama
Killing a Sunday by exploring more far-flung side of Yokohama.

Yurukyara at the shotengai
Girlfriend following an experienced mascot to learn how to act on a busy shotengai. This time they're striking a pose.

Becoming the yurukyara
The girlfriend living out a very odd - but cool - dream. Apparently there's schools where you can go to learn how to be a character mascot!

Christmas in Shin-Nakano
The photo quality is unfortunately no longer great, but it evokes a lot of memories for me.
