Handshake Event - Everyday, Katyusha
So when a new single comes out from AKB48, there's a theater version of it which you can preorder within specific dates. When you place that order, you get to choose a member to shake your hands with for 10 seconds for every CD you buy. You also get a pciture with each CD, which people will trade at the event. We'll get back to how things works later on. The events will not always be at the same location, but for the last events, they've been shifting between Tokyo Big Sight and Makuhari Messe. This one was at Tokyo Big Sight, spread out on two days - July 3rd and July 10th. The next one, for Flying Get, will be at Makuhari Messe.

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
Finally decided what do with new camera gear, and decided to stick with my current body and for now just get a new lens. So today I got the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. Shooting wide is fun! Not satisfied with photos yet, but I'll guess I have to take it for a proper photo walk soon.

A day in Tokyo - AKB is everywhere
This day I went out to do some shopping. My main targets were new shoes and an iPad. AKB48 is everywhere.

Arriving in Japan
I've arrived safely in Tokyo. Much of it went smooth, but a few things bugging me that I won't rant about here. It usually feels like that the first day, because I am always tired and easily annoyed. The next day I have forgot most of what annoyed me.

One year of AKB48 shopping
Getting into AKB48 - the world's biggest idol group, and currently Japan's most popular - literally means that you will spend more money than you can afford. I don't buy everything, actually far from it. And I'm always trying to cut down and think what I actually need and don't before buying. I still try to buy at least one version of most of the CDs, since I don't like downloading music. To give you an idea of what it means to be a fan of AKB48, I put together the photos of stuff I got in my first year, from April 9, 2010, to April 9, 2011. I didn't take photos of all the stuff I got through the year, but most of it.

Food in Japan 2
Next up in the Food in Japan series is all the noodles (麺 - men) from last year. There are many types of noodles, with different primary ingedients and thickness, all with different names. For example, soumen and hiyamugi looks and taste exactly the same. The only difference is that soumen is up to 1.3mm, and hiyamugi is 1.3-1.7mm thick. Chinese cold noodles at Shiodome above.
