Back in Tokyo

Journal Entry: Wed Dec 22, 2010, 7:44 AM





Lights are wrapped around the trees lining Omotesando Dori, it's beautiful, and reminds me of how close Christmas really is.

I was just settling into Toronto after touching down last Thursday, before an unexpected email from Sugizo's manager arrived two days later, asking if I'd be keen to photograph Luna Sea's LIVE in Tokyo at Tokyo Dome this weekend.

The past couple days had been sleepless with my packing, flight from LA to Toronto, meetings, more meetings, retouching, the pending confirmation for my Tokyo trip, and then packing again followed by the 13-hour flight from Toronto to Narita. I was retouching even on the plane.

During my short stay in Toronto I managed to meet up with :iconerina:, :iconorenji-kun:, :iconfrankhong:, :iconjepps:, :iconippus: and :iconningyee7: who were all really, really wonderful to be with. I can also safely say without :iconerina: and :icontobiee: (who stayed up with me to keep me awake while retouching) I probably wouldn't have survived those days. Thank you my dears. ;_;

It feels good to be back in Japan, this trip marks my 10th time in Tokyo. In some ways, the familiarity makes it feel like a 2nd home to me now. And I think that familiarity is something really beautiful, for it brings back memories, making those moments feel close and real again, and that feeling is precious, almost like a dream, but real. So much memories here.

Merry Christmas! I'm jealous of you, going to the Luna Sea concert! Unfortunately I live in Osaka and since I'm moving as well (haha) it's too troublesome to go with the shinkansen lol. Have a great time, and I'm looking forward to your pictures =)
