Our first full day in Tokyo was completely devoted to them: Friday morning we got up bright and early and headed towards Tokyo Dome to join the line up for concert goods. The ride towards Suidobashi was surprisingly nice. We got there fairly early and joined the line up. Since it was a weekday morning, there weren’t as many people in line as I had thought.

It was the tiniest plane I’ve ever been on, but luckily there wasn’t a lot of turbulence and we landed in Tokyo safely. As we were running late, the first thing…
