Tokyo Day 6

Day 6 was the most important day of the trip, the day that was the reason for my hubby and me to be in Tokyo.
While my Love went to rehearsal with the band, i had the morning to myself. I planned to go to Shinjuku and go to the Okadaya craftstore. But, i couldn't find the store! But i did find a lot of 100-yen shops in the area so i spend some more yens on cute housewares and stationary and such.

What i also found were the grabbing machines with the adorable Fafa bears.
Ever since i was a little little girl i wanted one of these bears. Yes, from the washing detergent, its called Robijn in the Netherlands, in Tokyo the brand is called Fafa. As a little girl i even told my mom to, if she ever saw one somewhere, ask where the people got it and if she could buy it from them. But back then these bears weren't made. So my heart skipped a couple of beats when i saw a whole bunch of them in these grabbing machines! There were many, big and small. And yes, i did try to grab one. Against better judgement because these machines never let me have what i want. So it didn't work. After the initial rush and a number of tries, i told myself i would look around in the stores to find one i could just buy, but no such luck. Maybe next time.

Then it was time for me to head to the radio studio to meet up with my hubby who had an hour on Shibuya FM radio station. It was a pleasure and the show was a hit. You can see a part of the show on youtube (including a dedication song to my mother!)

Even back in the office of the radio station you can find a cute character!

After a quick dinner it was off to club Loop for the release party of Life.
The evening was like a dream. We met so many wonderful people and made new friends. We had lots of laughs and the show was a big success. I was soooo proud of my Love!
I taped the whole show, it's on youtube in 4 parts. I'll give part I here and the links to the rest below.

Part 2, part 3 and part 4.

I thought this was such a great idea, lockers inside the club!

This whole day was one to never forget. And early in the morning we rolled into a cap and found our way back to the hotel.
Only one more day of Tokyo before it's back to NY. (and only one more official Tokyo blogpost before it's back to all things vintage)
