I was waking up too early these few days in Tokyo! I'm not sure why I couldn't sleep? I didn't wake up feeling excited or anxious or anything. Would just wake up, not take a nap, and stay up late. It probably contributed to my getting sick.

Check out the Hello Kitty Christmas ad
I bought a sax blue blouse from BABY! My first colored blouse! This branch also didn't have any of the prints I wanted, unfortunately. The only Usakumyachan JSK they had was the one with Usakumachan lace, not a print.

Heart Heart Blouse (2025 2nd release)
Then I went straight across to Alice and the Pirates and bought two pairs of socks πΉ Turns out their point cards can be used together! So that was nice. If I recall correctly, the combined purchases meant I hit the threshold for something.... but I cannot for the life of me remember what! The AatP staff did the math on the numbers and checked my receipt from BABY, but I don't remember what happened after that? I really do have the memory of a gnat. This is why I'd originally wanted to prepare a journal before the trip so I could journal each day so I don't forget things!

Happy Treat Party (2024 re-release)

Both sets of ribbons on the waist are detachable

The lighting makes the gems look darker than IRL
Amavel was having a novelty fair so I got a small, furry heart bag too! I chose black as white fur is really difficult to keep clean!
After getting tax back for my Amavel purchase on a higher floor (where the staff told me she liked my makeup!) I headed back to the hotel to drop off my purchases and meet up with my friends!
We went to uh... Tokyo Plaza? Something like that? ObliquerStrategies wanted to search for Pink House!
On the way we saw this awesome Valentino dress:

The seed beads holding these ribbons in place! Must have been a lot of work
We did end up finding Pink House! They have a Little Twin Stars collaboration!! Both colorways are adorable, and one of the shop staff was wearing another one without the twins on it, but had stars at the hem and a diagonal ruffle trail off each star going up the tiers of the skirt in different colors! So cute~~

Pink version of print and the star dress the staff was wearing was the white version of the dress on the right. I think the white version was much cuter!

Found Ichihime!! But no merch I wanted

Monster Hunter gacha magnets revealed! These are icons from older games!
The current one cost 297, and this Mizu is 1600....
Then we went to arcade again to pass some time πΉπΉπΉ Honestly I'm not big on arcades, likely because I did not grow up with them. But my friends seem to enjoy them, so I don't mind joining them! I did this funny shooting game with Duke.
For dinner we went to Duke's friend's izakaya and met up with Potato.lau who told us his girlfriend Gatopaula was unable to come. We teased him about the "totally real girlfriend" bit. This izakaya apparently specialize in yakitori, but I can't eat the meats, so I ate other stuff!
I split some sake with Switchboard.op to begin!

Cold tofu with fish flakes on top

Sashimi platter! So good

Roasted mountain yam

SUPER GOOD SALMON

FEESH π

Tamagoyaki

GRILLED GARLIC and mushroom skewers!
It was a wonderful day filled with friends, shopping, and food!
Do you eat cephalopods? They're really so delicious! But some people are put off by the texture or just the idea of them
