Fuji mountain

Watanabe Ryo and I were supposed to go to Nikko first but then we found out Nikko s really really north and in a mountain, and snowing. The problem is Ryo's car doesnt have studless tire for snow road. so we changed plan and went to see Fuji mountain.

It was actually my first time to see Fuji so clear.

I saw it from distanse or from airplane before though.

Fuji mountain was very very very beautiful. wonderful.

Today was freezing cold. but maybe thats why It was beautiful. Local person said today's fuji is awesome so I think we went to there in a right time.

we could see sunset over top of fuji mountain too.

then We drove around Tokyo city. the Imperial Palace, The Diet Building, Shinjyuku, Aoyama, Jiyuugaoka......many place. It was so much fun.

Fuzzy Control

James invited me to come over his house for lunch. He cooked Ma-Bo-Tofu. yum yum.

and then we went to Fuzzy Control, rock band, concert. They are James's friends.

ＴＧＩＦ

Noriko, Niigata guy, and Kojima Yoshio.

finally weekend.

I really need rest.

I m sick but one of my Osaka co-worker Yamamoto Kun said he is drinking with Mikitani president so Noriko and I went to go drink to Oimachi. but It was lie.

I was still sick so I was chotto angry he tricked us.

I really wanted to stay home, needed rest today though I couldnt say No if President was really there. well, it s my fault too. It s impossible pressident is drinking with him. i could ve thought about that.

I wanted to see President !!!! we were excited and brought Digital camera!!!

and I found out that I can see Tokyo Tower from Shinagawa station. Its really cool.

I had fun today but miss Osaka.

2 happy IMOs

First Weekend in Tokyo.

Night View from Tokyo Tocho
It was crazy beautiful.

I had to go to hospital with a co worker I met yesterday. He lives sooooo close to my apartment. He s really nice guy.

after we went to hospital, He showed around Shinagawa Station, how to work to Shinagawa to rakuten Office, Little Shotendai, Shrine, Temple, Good view point....

very kind man.

We had good lunch in his favorite place. good time.

then I went to Shinjyuku with Ryo.

My first time Shinjyuku in my life. I couldnt believe why I didnt go there even I came to Tokyo many times before.

We had dinner at Little Spoon(curry restaurant)at 歌舞伎町Kabuki cho. Ryo was almost dying, too spicy. it was funny.

Ryo showed me many places in Shinjyuku. ( he likes to go to キャバクラ haha)

We went to 東京都庁Tokyo Tocho , night view was just GREAT!

then Ryo's friend called him and said they are in Shinjyuku near us and drinking so We went there joined them.

That Ryo's friends were Nova staff before too. worked in Head office.

They were really fun, nice guys. new Tokyo friends. yeeey!

Today was very LONG day but very fulfilled. nice time.

First day of Rakuten

↑経費むだ。

my office is really close to my place. next station but I actually can work there.

Its far when I work though.

I was a little bit nervous.

It was just first day of training and Shinnenkai.

met Rakuten President Mikitani san.

and fuckin some Governor s speech 2 hours. really bored.

and drunk Beer and Sake for free.　Asahi super dry wasn t cold at all. not cool.

Its cool that they offer staff free breakfast and lunch.

but there are many wasting things and here is kinda smell like Nova.. I mean I wonder how long this company last.

I met 3 ex Nova staff today. I couldnt find Osaka office s staff.

They are really nice.

One is kinda bossy( still nice though, NOVA manager type), One is ok, One is VERY beautiful. I couldnt stop staring at her. haha.

VERY tired.

Tokyo Life is started.

Tokyo Tower

Shinagawa Station

.... Shinkansen was PACKED!! I had to stand 3 hours in front of bathroom. not cool.

At near Tokyo Station, I picked up my apartment Key and looked around Tokyo station, found crazy huge Nova which wasting money a lot, enjoyed there.

I arrived to Shinagawa and found my new place... Its fucking Awesome place!

thank my company for paying that for me!

Shinagawa is kinda countryside in Tokyo I guess. old houses and old people.

New life is started...

one thing I don t like in here is no supermarket around my place.

after I tidy up my place, I went to Shibuya to meet Ryo watanabe. He lives in Tokyo now.

I approciated he s here! He s cool.

First drunk night in Tokyo 2008. haha.
