I just woke up and remembered the wonderful dream I was in the middle of, I was hanging out with Atsushi Sakurai (Buck-Tick vocalist)! It might have to do with listening to Buck-Tick while I was reading yesterday evening. He is so great, I love him. So let me take this opportunity to overload you with his image.
Of course I bought some things... including a DVD (has been almost impossible for me to obtain) of my favorite concert of theirs in 1998. Also bought a cool shirt and bag. I am very happy with my purchases. After the show, I walked home and then listened to more of their music, with a renewed magical sense that came from seeing them live.
I feel like I am floating! I am not thinking or something. I am about to go see my favorite band in the world Buck-Tick live in my favorite city on earth. During my forced days off, I have been spending time with people out of my own volition, guys who interest me and whose company I enjoy. It is much better than work, which I will return to tomorrow.
I hung out with Ryujiro last night; he is growing on me. He wanted to go to Crossover (where Daisuke, the charming bartender works) and we went. I felt sort of bad because Ryujiro and I were alone together. I told Daisuke last week that I had no boyfriend. He asked if he was my boyfriend. I said, no no, I am just teaching this guy English. I like them both, but Daisuke never made any direct move so Ryujiro is ahead in the game, I guess. And has more free time. Also, he knows who Noam Chomsky is, that is... +500 points, at least.
Ryujiro and I, after drinking several shots and mixed drinks, got kicked out of the bar at closing, then went to sit together under some eaves to protect from the rain. It was kind of romantic, and it was quiet in Roppongi, Tuesday night. He asked me what I wanted to do. I told him he should go catch his train, he has school in the morning. He said he did not care, he asked me, do you want me to leave?
I told him no, but he should not miss his train. He said I had two choices, he could leave and go home or we could stay up all night until the first trains. I said sure, we can stay up (I was up til 6 the night before so I was not sleepy). Then he told me he wanted to come to my house. I told him, I did not know him, and if he wanted to sleep, he should go home.
He smiled. He told me, okay then, I will see you this weekend. It was very hard to tell him to leave! He is charming even though he is only one year older than me and kind of silly.
Anyway! Who cares. Right now, I am ridiculously excited to see Buck-Tick tonight. I will see Atsushi Sakurai and Imai and everyone else in the band in real life!!!!!! I am ecstatic. I am trying to visual-kei up, clothes and makeup while listening to memento mori!
Friday night at the club we had quite a few people come in, including one customer from my old club. He is the president of a guitar company, I remember singing rock songs with him last summer. He is a little shy but he likes to sing. He was surprised to see me and I told him I was going to see Buck-Tick live in a couple weeks (the concert is on the same day as the next club meeting, but I told the manager I have been waiting for this concert for months and I was not going to miss it for the world, he said if I get a douhan before the concert, I could skip the meeting).
The guitar customer told me that he is friends with Buck-Tick guitarist Imai Hisashi. I was shocked!! I love Imai!! I freaked out and told him to please let me meet him!! I want to meet him!! Imai is so awesome!! Customer told me to calm down and he would see what he could do. He stayed the whole night and I was getting kinda tired. I had to stay an hour overtime, until 2 AM.
After I finished work, I met up with WH and another girl from the club. We were going to hang out with some customers but then ditched them to dance. Well, I just watched. A skinny Japanese dude started talking to me, WH described him as having a lollipop head. Anyway, he was silly and would not leave me alone and tried to take me to a love hotel. Sigh... only loser guys like me!
When we left the bar and it was light out. We walked for a bit, Roppongi was busy!
And... I finally saw Hajime. I was shocked. I was sure he had left Roppongi after having been arrested, but he was there... I was taken aback and felt a little shaky. Weird, so weird...
Another person I randomly ran into today, well actually, he came to my house, is Leor the Israeli agent for the old place I used to rent down the street. He has a baby now! We went to the park and chatted... natsukashii!!
