The first time I ever went to Bon Jovi's concert was back in 2002 or 03. It was in Portland Oregon, and I absolutely LOVED the experience. At the time, I was pretty sure I'd never get to go again. Luckily, I was WRONG!!
I took this picture from the bullet train, and since we're going so fast, it's blurry. I like all the changes in scenery you get to see when you ride the bullet train. In Japan, each town or city almost feels like a different country, since the the feel they give are so distinctly different.
I think this is when we passed through Shizuoka, a place that's famous for Mt. Fuji and also green tea. Can you tell how perfectly aligned and trimmed these tea plants(bushes?) are?
It's a sight to see.
And FINALLY, the concert stadium, Tokyo Dome. The concert was yet again, a BLAST!! We were seated close to the huge speakers though, so I went partially deaf in my left ear for couple of hours after the concert. My hands turned red and purple from clapping so hard throughout the concert and I sorta lost my voice from singing and screaming and just plain HAVING FUN.
They have an amusement park around the Tokyo Dome with wild roller-coasters. I once used to somewhat enjoy roller-coasters, as long as they didn't do any loops, but after having gone on a truly frightening mega-coaster at Six Flags in Napa during college, I vowed to myself that I never again wanted to actually PAY to have a heart-attack, so I no longer have any interest in these crazy coasters.
Maybe someday I'll get to go again! I like the concerts in the States better though, 'cause Jon, the lead vocal, talks more. Can't blame them, who'd wanna talk on and on to an audience that can't understand what you're saying. I won't complain though. Their concerts still ROCK and it's fun fun fun! Did you know they beat the Rolling Stones AND the Beatles for the number of #1 songs?! Too cool!

I've said this before but it always cracks me up to think that you like Bon Jovi and Sada Masashi at the same time =) but hey, variety and paradoxes make life much more interesting right? Although I'd like to try going to concerts like that at least once in my lifetime, I don't think my bad ears would survive anything louder than a classical concert (I can't even use earphones for very long before they start hurting).
Nothing louder than a classical concert?! What about Sada Masashi? I think you can handle that one 'cause they don't use speakers that are like 3 yards long. Hmm, speaking of concerts, I wonder if you can go to one while you're here in the summer. I will keep my eyes out.
ooohhh I think I can handle sada masashi =) (hm come to think of it I've never been to a popular music concert). Were you in his fan club since they sell out the moment they come out?
I got the application in the mail, but haven't filled it out yet. At this point, it's probably best to ask Leanne's in-laws about possible concerts, since they're already in the fan club and they can get tickets early...and good seats too!Have you check the Sada Masashi website to see if there are any possible dates around the time you're expecting to come?
