A non anime related post for now, bare with me because i’m just so excited I had to share this with you all! I like most people lately just LOVE Lady Gaga,  love her music, I think her style is intriguing and just so interesting and fresh! She had a stop over for her concert in La but tickets sold out so fast I was so sad, but with the boyfriend living in Seattle now I figured getting tickets for the show in Washington wasn’t a stretch! I got two tickets for us and I’m super excited to go! What are your feelings on Gaga? It seems most people are torn, they either love her or hate her! I obviously Love her but then along with my figure reviews I love hearing what you have to say as well! Also if you are  fan what is your favorite song? Lately I’ve been loving Telephone and Speechless!

Should have promoted this earlier since I ended up having two extra tickets. A concert my buddies told me about we just HAD to go! I Love the Pillows, and I Love FLCL so of course this was just obvious that we needed to go and not miss them!
The concert was truly awesome and I regret not bringing my camera as i was told they weren’t allowed. Turns out they didn’t care and there were tons of people filming and taking pictures. So the onyl footage i have is from my own iPhone but it’s still pretty cool.

Lower the volume first! I was in the FRONT ROW! Right in the middle! I had said to everyone of my friends that somehow by the pillows started I would make it to the front, well I didn’t want to be pushing my way to the front so I waited when spaces were open and sneak in, but it everyone started pushing and I pretty much let them push me and finally I made it to the front! Not bad for my first real concert ever? Sadly I won’t be surprised if I cracked a rib of two, I’m super sore and my ribs are killing me from the constant pushing, either way it was still awesome!

The other bands were pretty good, Pop Chocolate came out first and they were cute but you could tell they were really nervous and no one was dancing or moving at all, which really must have made them feel bad but they were pretty good, especially near the end.

Then Monokuro came out and they were really awesome, unlike Pop Chocolate who was an all girl band, Monokuro was all guys and they had a really good stage presence about them. I had never heard of them before but I was bobbing my head to the music tons of times!

Then Noodles came out who I have to say I liked the best out of all the opening bands. An all girl band they had a really good presence and they were also pretty cute.  By the time they came out I had gotten to the front and it was pretty awesome.

This concert was amazing and I’m so sad it never occurred to me to offer the extra tickets here beforehand! I tried to promote them on Twitter and Facebook but I guess there were no takers for this amazing concert! You all missed out!

Finally getting to posting these pictures from my recent trip to Europe. Sorry it took so long, while in Europe I would unload my memory card onto my brother’s laptop to not worry about filling up my memory card. But once we got home he didn’t transfer the pictures to my computer and I only got them back today! Well we were in London for a few days then went to Paris by the Eurostar but that’s for another post. Make sure you leave a comment on this post, past and future posts! A Giveaway is coming up soon and your comments will help you win!

Parliament, with everyone’s favorite clock tower Big Ben!

Love the crossing signal sign, It’s so cute how it says wait! I mean it’s obvious that you must wait till you can cross, but to so obviously say it was just so silly to me! Still loved it!

Big Ben is just so fancy!

Tower Bridge, amazing during the day, even better at night when lit up!

The lions of Trafalgar Square, of course I had to jump on!

On our way to see the London Eye some musicians!

A Pavement Artist! Just like in Mary Poppins!

uhhhh…. Not entirely sure what this is, but it’s colorful!

This guy was really awesome, while he was playing the guitar he wasn’t playing the blues. (yes a bad joke, but you know i had to!)

A Gold Moving Statue!

George Washington! Never expected to see him here!

The horse guards!

The other guards for the Changing of the guards at Buckingham palace.

Mounted Police, very polite while we were taking pictures of the guards during the Changing of the Guard!

The London Eye, an awesome and amazing Ferris wheel!

The view from the London Eye!

Big Ben peeking out!

Westminster Abbey, we went inside but no pictures allowed.

The view from sitting on the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

St. Paul’s Cathedral, an important building for many reasons. Diana and Charles were married here, but for me it’s famous for only one reason! I even bought my own snow globe of the Cathedral!

Went later onto a Rock and Roll walking tour that soon turned into a Beatles tour for me since we were the only ones on the walking tour! This is the Building where Apple records used to be.

Apple Records at #3 Savile Row, site of a very famous rooftop concert by The Beatles.

A huge Mural in Soho, recognize the picture from another famous Beatles image?

Trident Sound Studios, where some very famous songs have been recorded! Many Beatles songs like; Hey Jude, Dear Prudence, Honey Pie, Martha My Dear, and Savoy Truffle. Also Cold Turkey by the Plastic Ono Band and My Sweet Lord by George Harrison. Your song, Rocket Man, Crocodile Rock, Candle In the Wind and Saturday Night’s Alright from Elton John. Everyone’s favorite song Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen, and so many more amazing songs!

Paul McCartney’s current office.

If you look in the window, on the right side you can see all the gold records hanging on the wall! If you couldn’t guess I’m a huge Beatles fan, yet i sadly missed out on heading to Abbey Road, but hey it gives me a reason to head back to London to visit again!

The Underground, Loved the underground! I wish we had amazing subway systems like that here!

I know it’s silly again, but I love that the exit says Way Out and not Exit! We were so used to looking for the Exit sign we kept getting lost the first few day!

For myself if i lived in London I’d never need a car when I could used the underground. We didn’t bother renting a car for thsi trip, also since we knew we’d be so confused with them driving on the left side of the road. Even crossing the street was scary for us since we’d be expecting the cars to be coming the opposite way. So we’d be extra careful when crossing the street! For sure I’m going back! I adored London and would recommend it to anyone who’s considering a trip to Europe! London is a place to see! Everyone was amazingly polite and sweet to us, it’s so clean and we really felt safe and comfortable in London! To everyone who we met along the way, thank you for helping us fall in love with your beautiful city!

Paris pictures coming shortly, along with more figure reviews, and a GIVEAWAY! Don’t forget to comment on this post and other posts too! It will give you the upper hand in the upcoming Giveaway!

I’ve got some awesome friends! Just the other day hanging out with my musician buddies for a little jam session. Sadly I was just a tag along since I don’t play any instrument, it was awesome seeing everyone rock out on their Guitars and Harmonica. Some really cool guys! Well why do you wonder I bring up Otakus and rocking out and you see this image of two really awesome Dakimakuras? Simple They were Otakus!

At least three of them for sure, one I just met and wasn’t 100% on but either way! We had gone to a friend’s apartment, he’s a huge Saber fanboy, and he’s got some amazing figures as well! Didn’t take any pictures of his room, but maybe next time I will!

Here’s a little video i took of them jamming before my battery died on me

Well again, back to these amazing Dakimakuras! My buddy Charles gave them to me! While he was showing off his anime room, I think he was a little caught off guard on how I’m not ashamed of Nude/Lude figures and I’m actually a huge fan of naughty anime figures! He showed me his amazing Saber Lily Dakimakura and I gushed over I how loved it so much and how I wish I had more than just my Kamina. He then proceeded to show me his entire Dakimakura collection and when I began drooling at seeing the adorable Nanoha and Feito pillow cases he handed them to me and said for me to keep them! Now i want to return the favor and I figure i’ll find something amazing that’s Saber related for him! Any ideas?

Went to Nisei Week this past Saturday in Little Tokyo. Met up with Benu from Anime-Genesis, Jeremy from Anime Diet and Makenai! Also brought along with me my brother and Kawaii_Clare who dressed us up in Kimonos. Her’s being much better than mine since I didn’t have all the stuff needed for it and it was falling apart by the end of the day.

Here is Makenai with special Guest Jose Sanchez, they performed some amazing songs during the concert!

You can see the entire concert here, It’s worth the watch they really are such an awesome band!

Me with Pamela and Evelyn from Makenai, just two of the sweetest girls you’d ever met.

Benu getting Molested by the girls, Big Pimping there Benu!

My brother DJ Tama as the man the girls wanted but could never get!

Also some awesome Taiko Drumming that we caught before the concert! Love the quality of the video on my camera!

Nisei week was pretty fun, we had taken the train to get there. Never again, I have a car and i’ll be sure to use it! The train itself wasn’t bad, but the people were really terrible, but then we took it from LA to Long Beach and had to go through Compton and the people during those stops were just so terrible. We did take the train since we went to Little Tokyo with a friend who didn’t have a car, but if we can use our car we will for sure!

Went to Balboa park today to see some lame train museum with my dad. Sorry dad but really I’m totally bored with Model trains! My backyard has been turned into a giant railroad and we added a back room and it’s my dad’s new train room! If you people think I’m a crazy figure otaku well my dad is a jillion time worse with his trains! Well back to the story at hand, we went to see the trains and after we left that museum we went walking around Balboa park and i spotted Steam Powered Giraffe. Just about the Coolest band i’ve ever seen!

I first heard about this band at the So-Cal Cosplay gathering when this girl who was also in a steam punk cosplay came by and told us of this club opening up and they’d have Steam Punk Giraffe there. We ourselves hadn’t heard of them but it sounded interesting. Later Fancy India told me she went to see them play in Temecula, CA. Which is super close to where we live and told us how awesome they were! I’ve been super excited to go later and see them myself and by sheer luck caught them today!

The Jon on the left and The Spine on the right. It’s hard to explain what they are exactly so i’ll let their website do the talking for me!

Finally Upgrade, loved her facial expressions!

There really is no way to describe their music but it’s truly awesome.

This music video should help but it doesn’t do them justice and they are so amazing live.

Check them out at steampoweredgiraffe.com They also have a myspace and facebook and really do deserve your love! I know I’ll be going out to see them again as they were just a joy to see and really made my day today!

Not much to say about this concert other than AMAZIING. I loved this concert so much!

It was so awesome and the costume changes were so great! I honestly didn’t expect costume changes! But out of all the outfits this was my favorite!

What was interesting was how great Shokotan looked with a cosplay she just through on compared to all the other Yoko cosplayers out there. This concert was amazing and she’s made a fan outta me for sure! I also got a CD and a Shirt signed by her from the autograph session.

Get this image as a poster here!

Once again Jenag pulls through and has the video of the new Gurren Lagann Video. This time it’s Viral and pachinko, i laughed in this video more than i stood in awe at it’s awesomeness like i did with the first video. But it’s still freaking awesome!
