AHHHHHH!!! I can`t believe I`m leaving this beautiful country and SMAP tomorrow...I don`t really want to go but I do miss home...but I`m glad that during this trip I was able to have my first encounter of Shingo chan at Nagoya station and all five members at TMC.... 1) Shingo chan at the Nagoya Station: First off, I did`t plan to go and wait for Shingo chan when he was coming back from the Iitomo filming in the afternoon since I waited for him at the platform in the morning hoping to send him off to his Iitomo filming...unfortunately, I didn`t see him in the morning and I was so tired from waking up so damn early that I just wanted to sleep....and I was going to Osaka to meet up with 244joy and I arrived at Nagoya station at 3 pm in the afternoon hoping to catch a train but then I saw some fans waiting around the exit and Masako chan said that the exit was the same one that they saw Shingo chan came out of last year. So I waited around for about half an hour and sure enuf the security was setting up and more people were waiting at the exit....I met three japanese girls who were waitng for shingo chan for the first time too...and we quickly became friends as we waited for shingo chan to come out (the power of SMAP ne)....I was mad though, because at first the four of us were the first one in line to have a clear view of shingo chan coming out of the station but then the stupid security pushed us way back so when shingo chan came out, all I saw was the back of his head as he was rushing to the concert venue. Even though I was disappointed, I was happy to have been able to experience what some of the lucky members here on the board was able to experience....I just hope that I`ll get a chance to have a closer encounter with SMAP no minna. 2) SMAP members at TMC: I would like to thank Rendy for being the tour guide to TMC, without you, we would definitely be lost. And it was nice to meet up with more members from both boards ne....minna are so sweet and I hope you all will get a chance to see the members closer....hope to hear from your reports soon neAnyways, in order for me to see the members at TMC, I had t wake up at 5:15 in the morning to get to TMC by 9:30. As we were waiting (there were six of us), it started to rain and it was actually a little chilly. There were not that many fans at 9:30 but by 10:15, more and more fans showed up and I think there was a total of 20 to 30 fans waiting for the boys to show up. By 10:45, we were getting worried because some of the members would have already shown up.....we were about to give up but at 11:15 or so, Tsuyoshi`s car pulled up and I can`t beleive I actually got to see Tsuyopon`s face so closed up....he looked like he just woke up ne....cho kawaii with his hat...his face was the only one we saw as it happens and I think it was an accident that we saw Tsuyopon`s face because he had to turn around to get his bag....I would love to go into details with what the members were wearing but honestly, due to the early morning, everything was a blur to me ;p Gomen ne....then next Goro chan pulled up, but we thought it was Nakai...don`t ask why because we couldn`t really see well as the van blocked pretty much the entire entrance....it sucked because all the vans after that did the same thing....it was so hard to see their faces...let alone their backs as they walked into the building....but I was still shocked as to actually having to experience what some of you here have reported. I don`t know if I can do this whole waiting thing again but if I`m in Tokyo and around the neighborhood, I`ll actually try again. Anyways, after goro chan, it was shingo chan...he didn`t look at us but he got out of his van pretty easily...I guess it`s because it was 11:30 in the morning....he was wearing a blue and while hawaian shirt...and he was walking with his hands in his jeans...then it was Takuya....we were worried about him because when he got off the van, he was limping all the way in...I guess he really did hurt his legs in the first nite of the Nagoya concert....I hope he gets better soon ne....and last but not least, it`s Nakai kun....and we knew that because of the way he walked...hunched back with his hands in his jeans shorts (??). As everything happened quite quickly, I`m not sure what the members were actually wearing...please forgive me as it was my first time and I have really bad memory with little sleep ;p. Gomen ne for this long report but I just thought it would be nice to start a report because I forget everything about my trip this year...god knows if I`ll be coming back next year..... But I`ll stay positive, Matta Lai Nien!!!
