I am on the last leg of my trip to Japan and since I am waiting in the lounge for my flight, I thought I will share some Arashi-related photos that I took during my trip... I hope you will like them...

Haneda is much smaller than Narita, unfortunately.  I do hope that they will expand it further. But it is so much more closer to Tokyo! By bus - which is the fastest way to get there - is only 30 minutes.   

I went there pretty early, to "catch" the Arashi Jet, around 9am in the morning and there were already some people there, with the same purpose.  I had expected a lot more, but I guess, it had already been more than 2 months since the jet had taken to the skies, so the fanatic mood was no longer that strong. 

Osaka was pretty much alive - given that it was concert time - with fans.  I used "pretty much" because it was a bigger city, and yet I was able to see some form of fan activities.  Sapporo, for me was the best, at concert time, as it is a smaller city and everywhere you do, during concert time, you see fans.

Tokyo was very quiet with Arashi related stuff this year - I think it is because it was not yet concert time - and I hardly saw any Arashi related billboards or posters, even the AU ones.  AU Design Center in Harajuku had put up a big Lady Gaga, and it was strange, essentially for me, to see something not Arashi related on that building. 

Oh, one thing, the 48 pairs of bouncing boobs, aka AKB48, were all over the place... 

Thanks for the pics one day I would like to visit japan as well I was just checking on air fares the other day. Im still just dreaming at this point but I'll get there one day
