It was so crowded going to Yoyogi Park for Hanami. It's like 4th of July on the subway or something.

IMG_1455

I noticed a lot of girls wearing stuff saying "Hey Say Jump" Here are two handmade suits. Later i would learn what hey say jump is on a billboard in Shibuya.

It was such a beautiful day, the sun, it was warm, everyone was happy, the babies were laughing, people drinking, its as if it were a national holiday in happy land, but it was just a normal saturday. The atmosphere alone is enough to make the day, its super crowded but that's what makes it so awesome because everyone is so polite and happy.

IMG_1493 they had an epic party table going on next to the best tree. some dude probably had to come here at like 6 am to get this epic spot by the lake

IMG_1521

i dont know why they don't have a better bathroom situation. there were like 8 porta potties around to service all these people. that meant the girls had to wait online for 1 hr and the guys had to go pee across the field. So we didn't see Jennifer and Debbie for like the whole time.

The beautiful Sapporo girls, the dimple sisters, the Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger of Sapporo, Akari and Kyoka. Kyochan went back to Sapporo this week though after living for some years in Tokyo.

IMG_1603 We sat next to Akari's friend's friends thing. they were chugging tequila and a little later one of their girls was dead and started puking and was all limp and looked dead. thats when the clouds came out, the temp dropped, the flowers began to fall, and everyone got all serious and unhappy. eventually the paramedics came and took her away on a stretcher thing. she wasn't dead but it looked pretty bad. So their group of 10 people's party was ruinedIMG_1610 you have to come to the park early to reserve the best spots. some companies send an underling early in the day so you'll see 1 guy in a suit sitting on a huge blue matted out area all day long by himself. In reality you can just come anytime and find a decent spot if your group is small.

On to desert. There was this Japanese Jersey/Long Island girl there. Why couldn't she have picked a better style to copy.

IMG_2238 a fishing game where you sit there and smoke cigarettes for hours just like real fishing. it's nice to see today's youth getting out there and doing something with themselves. I'm gonna go back to playing the giant tetris machine now.

Sbarro opened in shibuya, its like $475 for a soda and a slice. F Sbarro's.

This is Anna Insert Russian name here. She is half russian half japanese and the lead singer of a punk/some kinda rock band. She's an actress too and was in "Sakuran" which was a super beautiful hyper/mod movie. Look at that abominable type on that billboard. I bet Anna is not very happy with that.
