Caretta Shiodome illumination 2018

Image
Frozen and Tangled. They actually did these two alternately so of course I had to see both. It was soo worth it. Now, having quitted my Tokyo job kind of made this all a little too bothersome so to speak but still , I kind of managed to get my lazy arse up and go about my day. Frozen was up the first off day I had back from my trip to Korea so I did that. I don’t know if I told you guys before but Frozen as a whole movie, I kind of like. Anna, not so much. Elsa is okay. Although she was kind of just scared the whole time so I don’t like that about her. Anyways! The illumination! As always, I really liked the illumination here best! Like, there’s no competition going on thank you very much! The next time I went, it’s up for Tangled! Loved that movie. Meh, actually...Okay so maybe not the place to talk about movies but yeah, it was hella perfect! Man, please do MULAN next year! So like, around 9:00pm they change the theme for an hour and you know, I actually didn’t stick around much for ...

Roponggi Illumination 2018

Roponggi! Hi there! So you know, the first time I went, the tower was this color which I know they do from time to time depending what there is to celebrate. It was still beautiful as it is. But last year's team was kind of epic and this year's a no match, sorry. All they have for a show is the blinking thing they have once in a while. selfie I went twice to this place because the first time I went, it was kind of not a proper show yet hence there were crews assessing the situation and all that.  What's up, pants? Hang on there! The second time was kind of unexpected. My people needed to do something there and tagged me along. The second time I went, the show was on! Was so pretty! It was RED. I like it red actually. Classic.  So yeah. That's about it actually. Nothing too fancy. I enjoyed though! See yah!

Yebisu Illumination 2018

Yebisu. I actually thought of going because it’s conveniently near and somehow on the way. I usually enjoy going here because there’s usually a Christmas Carol thingy going on but without it, it’s pretty much just like the last time. No new vibe or something.  Ebisu Now that I don’t work in Tokyo anymore, it’s kind of new for me to travel from home to here and not having a mid place. Oh well. I miss Harajuku.  This one tells us that there’s a new bulb hanging around because like last year’s blog, one additional bulb or whatever it is this year. My first illumination this year. Kind of the case for most of my illuminations, I think. Kind of. Well like I said, just for the convenience of it. I should have went when they’re doing the carols. This one is beautiful. I should get something like this at home. Hahaha and do the same concept! Oh my. I’m a genius.  Selfie The Giant Tree Happy Holidays! 

Beauty and The Beast @ Caretta Shiodome

I already told you that this place is my favorite for illumination, aye? So last season, I went. I also vlogged about this by the way so please check that out that if you like. CLICK FOR THE  VLOG! Last season, they did Beauty and The Beast. My Disney heart.  Watched it more than I watched last time and my Disney heart just can’t! Although I got tired of it towards the end but  anyways. Can we just stop and appreciate the Enchanted Rose? Yas!  Tale As Old As Time My problem with this is that their transition didn’t go smoothly as I would like it to be. Like, before the show ends, the music just stops in the middle of a non-acceptable end of the song. You know. But it was still good but it difinitely could be better.  At the top floor of Caretta Shiodome, they have this stunning roof deck that is not relevant to this post but yeah at the top, they have Beauty and the Beast’s costume on display and some interactive stuff that I enjoyed. Yas Enchanted Rose. . ...

Ebisu Illumination 2017

Image
Selfieee Ebisu. I’ve been to Ebisu before of course. It’s two stations away from my work in Tokyo and I always feel like I don’t have time so I always go to nearby places. Very convenient though because I work in Tokyo. Lucky if you may. the Christmas Tree that I missed in 2016 Ebisu  magical What I missed last year was the Christmas Tree. It’s still fine but it made me realize that ones absence may feel okay but it’s better when it’s complete. Saveh!! Also!!! They had this choir thing going on when I went and man, I stood there in the freezing cold and watched aaaaallllllll the performances. It was worth it though for sure!!! Okay one of the reasons I completed the choir was because they really lifted my spirit. But also because if I won’t, I wouldn’t be able to go near the chandelier. Charot! The Chandelier, has one light bulb added to it from the last time I went so that’s nice. I mean, not that I noticed. Haha chandelier Yas. I may have said this before but you know, I’m really...

Shibuya Illumination 2017

Image
As usual, I didn't expect much from Shibuya because of what I witnessed last year. I don't know if I shared with you the photo but it was this sad green lights put on the tree same as above so yeah. This year showed a little improvement so let's give Shibuya that. This year's team is HELLO KITTY. Okay first of all, I have absolutely no idea why the tourist information bus' character is Kitty because you know, Sanrio isn't anywhere near and stuff. ALSO! Why can't they just use Hachiko's face? It's SHIBUYA after all. Okay.  But you know, who am I to tell Shibuya what to do, aye? Anyways this Hello Kitty thing. I can't. You all know how I love Shibuya and its wonders but Shibuya is not ready for it yet.  Maybe because Shibuya doesn't have a lot of places to do this kind of displays but yeah. I'm not saying that this is not good. It's good! I just hope there's more of this. I think. The ribbon is cute! I think big ribbon ornaments lik...
