Poor kitty got tired of attention and went to sleep under the table. Had to bother it for some photos though.

This baby got tired too and just threw itself there like that for a good while. :'3

This cat had really interesting ears, they were very curvy, like some kind of horns or something.




...THEN THIS EFFING HUGE CAT APPEARED. Don't know if its size shows well in the photos, but I've seen my fair share of cats in my life always living near them and going half of my childhood to all kinds of cat shows, and I've never seen a cat this big. 8I
One of the cafe staff members spoke good enough English to tell me a bit about the cats, and said that this one was called Meiku/Meikyu/Meigu and that it was only 10 months old. 8D; It already weighted 6.5 kilos, but as an adult it will weight around 10 kilos.


Later that day I decided to go check the designer store Gain in Shibuya (it sells Blossam products, a clothing brand by Nagayama Takashi), and in front of the Shibuya station was the famous Hachiko Dog statue.

(Hoshit, a gaijin in the background. I'm not alone!)

And dun-dun-duuun, the door of Gain to prove that I've been there. >83 Didn't buy anything though, was planning on possibly getting a Decossam shirt (joined brand between the aforementioned Nagayama Takashi and Tsuchiya Yuichi) but those were all sold out and the Blossam shirts... well, let's say that I've never bought any kind of designer clothes and starting by paying ¥9000 for a t-shirt was a bit too much. 8I

And for the final photo of Japan, my favorite Sleepy Salaryman. :D People were often napping in the train, but this guy was my favorite.

...And so we come to what always seems to be my favorite part: all the stuff I bought. XD

Going from left to right: the official Comiket 74 bag and official Comiket water. >83 I feel like laughing maniacally for having something this awesome to prove I've been somewhere that awesome.

Bought from the Vocaloid booth at Comiket, a bag full of stuff (t-shirt, posters, CD, whatnot).

Then the most awesome Akira figure that I've been lusting after for a year or two now and that is finally mine (didn't take better photos of it, click here to check it out), some gashapons, freebies from Animate (or was it Tora no Ana?), Lucky Star Strawberry Cake (XD Obviously bought for the box, but they were surprisingly yummy), and some Japanese manga.

My favorite, a nice pile of doujinshi. >:3 Only 50 when excluding the ones I got for friends, series included Bleach, Death Note, Harry Potter, Yotsuba&!, Vocaloid, Genshiken, and Tsuchiya Yuichi x Nagayama Takashi (the most comical thing, that doujinshi was in the completely wrong shelf and I was all "who are these characters, they aren't from [the series]! ...WHAT THE HELL. 8D").
Continuing, some advertisements, souvenirs from the cat cafe (had to take something to remember it by ♥), pockies, a Burimyu pamphlet, and Copics.

...And that's it. Hope you enjoyed!
