My day started with having breakfast from the same place we ate at yesterday and I tried another thing. I have no idea what it's called but this was also so good. But I think that's all for me for this place. I don't really go to a place for more than 2 times unless it has a super big variety of things I wanted to try... *laugh laugh*
I really love eggs... And I can say that everyday... <3
Outfit of the day. Someone this outfit looked way better in that selfie angle more than in legit real angle. But yeah, just need to lose weight xD
The plan for today was to the Ramen Museum with my parents and then Cup Noodles Museum with Annie joining us and then I go to Screw vs D=out's live. The museums are in Yokohama so we went on a train to get there! The Ramen Museum is smaller than I thought it was be but I'm still amused because I love museums. There was a entrance fee of I think either 310 yen or 500 yen per person. There are 3 floors, top floor is the souvenir shop, the bottom two floors are the "exhibition" floors. I think it looks very nice, they made the place look like a street from the olden days. You see very old phone stands (not sure if they really work or not), and you see bars, and many small ramen shops. It's so cute how they tried to imitate the sky too, lol! I really enjoy the mood and feel you get from being at this place. We wandered around to look for one ramen place that we want to try since we can't really eat too much nor should waste money, I decided on....an Italian influenced ramen shop! I chose that one because the thickness of the ramen seemed just right and they have half cooked marinated eggs. I LOVE EGGS.... yes my 319312803 times saying that. And I'm super picky on eggs. Anyways although I had forgotten how the ramen tasted like already by the time I am writing this blog, I think I liked it. I don't remember disliking it therefore, it should be good!!!!! I'm so glad that I got to go to this museum because the man-made old streets looked so cool.
Waiting for the train to Yokohama~
The symbol of the Ramen Museum. It's so cute <3
It felt like time traveling back to the 80's.
This was the place we chose! You buy a food ticket on the machine outside and then you give the lady your ticket, take a seat, and then wait for your food. We all chose half size only because it's cheaper and we kind of literally just ate a big breakfast before this.
After that, we went to the Cup Noodles Museum, also in Yokohama, to explore and we met up with Annie there as well. I went to the Instant Ramen Museum in Osaka with Winnie back in 2014 before (It's literally like the Cup Noodles Museum, like the activities you can do there) so I wanted to also check out this one again!!! I wanted to make my own custom cup noodle again \(^_^)/
We finally found it!!!!!!!!!!! There was an entrance fee of 500 yen..... We all wasn't expecting that since I thought I read there's no entrance fee but prob that's only for the one in Osaka... oh well I was up for that either way. Annie was a bit... LOL she didn't want to pay entrance fee + "Make you own cup noodles ticket fee" and said, "Man, I should have gone to the Ramen Museum instead. Well sorry.... you were the one who decided on it and there's nothing I could have done about it and though, I think the Cup Noodles Museum was more fun. The Ramen one was literally mainly for food and not to "play" so I think the choice was made right. To participate in the "Make your own cup noodles" session, it will cost about additional 300 yen. I was like hell yeah whatever, LOL "fun" doesn't come for free sometimes... most of the times. Anyways.... Annie was hungry so we went to the museum's food place to eat first and then we headed to the cupnoodles workshop. After that, we explored around the other floors + exhibitions. It was so fun!!!!!!!!! I really like this place!
The place where we got food!
The menu! They have the most interesting/weirdest sweets LOL.
Shaved ice (Annie's) was sooooo good. It literally melts in the mouth once you put it in!
The red thing is my tomato jelly.. worst/most interesting decision ever... haha!!! IT LOOKS THE COOLEST but it taste so bad unless you really love tomato to the max.
I also tried the mini pho~
After eating, it was time for us to do the cup noodle workshop! You see many people sitting together to decorate their cup noodles, and then you line up at the back to do the rest. This time, I drew eggs because ... I love eggs. And had to write a "hidden" message on the bottom of it~!
The top 3 photos belong to my parents, the middle row is Annie's and the last row is mine!
We get to choose 1 soup base and 4 ingredients to add inside! I chose seafood soup base, cheese, beef, egg, and the character flakes. The expiration date is one month from the day it's made since there are no preservation added.
Tada~! Our cups lined up!
The staff who's sealing our cup noodles are showing us what he uses to seal and how he seals.
I was done putting my cup noodle in the airbag and was just watching these people struggling haha~
*blink blink smilesssss*
*i'm so evil*
After that, it was nearly time for my concert but I didn't want to go yet because we paid to get in this museum and it would suck if I didn't get to look at the other floors too! We quickly checked out 2nd floor! I love that hanging display! It looks so dramatic. And we went to an illusion room, teehee, ahhh Annie looked so much taller than me, aha! After that, we parted ways and I took my parents home and then I headed to the Screw vs D=Out live Day 1!

This was the first live of this trip! I was very unsure of how to feel about this because it was a whole year since going to a live and I guess I am a bit scared for the furi part. Though I was stupid and wasn't aware that today was a full ballad setlist live. No wonder there wasn't a lot of people and I was able to get an ok spot. I stood on the way far right because at first I thought I would be too scared to do furi and/or wouldn't know what to do. Anyways, because I THOUGHT it was a normal live, I was wondering why everything that the bands played were all ballad songs and no one did any furis and it just felt so weird though. They took forever to start! Was late for about 10-15 minutes.
Screw played first. Every member was emotionless looking and no one cracked a smile throughout the whole time during their part. When Byo came out, he has his hand on his throat area. I heard some girls whispering to each other, "is Byo ok?" I also wondered the same thing, or was that just an act? But anyways I think out of nowhere as usual, Byo licked his lips! Once in a while, he does that while performing. That's me of the things that melts my heart (>3<) It's so damn sexy!!!!
So they started playing and Byo seemed... fine when he was singing. Or maybe I just can't tell since I don't go to their lives enough. Although I was standing way to the right, on Kazuki's side, my eyes were staring at Byo 90% of the time. Byo had very beautiful make up on and wavy hair. This night, he was shining. He was so beautiful. Kazuki had on his typical black hat, also very lovely.
I loved all the songs that Screw performed, all ballads ofcourse, which were very pleasant to my ears. I was at one point kind of feeling wobbly/unstable while standing though probably because this live was literally just standing still and no furis and I can't really stand still. The mood throughout the while Screw part was VERY sad and gloomy. Like I didn't feel super emotional like need to break down on the spot and literally bawl my eyes out but the whole time Byo sang, my heart felt tight. Like I couldn't even control that feeling. And after a few songs, I felt tears falling down my cheeks. I think my mind didn't want to accept that it's going to be the 3rd to last time I would ever see Screw. I actually wasn't able to focus 100% emotionally at the live through the whole time also because my shoes were killing my feet. It's just that my feelings were a mess. I thought that something was missing. Prob I already took back my heart to USA with the kids? I had no idea, I just couldn't understand what I was feeling exactly.
Anyways for one of the songs, it started with rain drop sounds. I KNEW which song that is immediately. One of my favorite songs: Ancient Rain. I never thought that I'd ever get the chance to hear it live in my life. It was a beautiful song. Everything about it was beautiful. It was one of my Screw fandom dreams to hear it live. (Also, this was the last time this song was ever sang. They didn't sing this song on 10/13 nor during the last live. My first time hearing it live was also my last time.)
After Screw was done, they just walked into backstage without doing MC, just leaving us in silence.
Then, D=Out came out.
D=Out also played all ballads but their mood was a bit lighter and not gloomy. The songs were pleasant to the ears and they act as as mood lifter Screw's gloomy performance. I got to hear Aoi Tori as well!!!! But they sang the altered version and it's a lil.. too happy for me, haha. During their mid-live, D=Out did MC and they talked about how these two event days (today and tomorrow) are Screw's last two event lives, etc, etc... *sobs*
After D=Out was done performing, it was encore time! D=Out came back out first and they did some talking that I had totally forgotten about. I think Kouki was talking about how Reika tried to color his hair purple and Reika said yeah but it failed or something like that.
Then Kouki told the fans to call Byo to come out. I think Kouki referred Byo as "Byotarou~"! So cute, lol! When Byo came out, he wore shades(dammit why'd you cover you beautiful eyes?) and a big black hat with a small minions ball taped on top of his hat. Byo was so damn cute.
I think during part of the MC they did, they were talking about when D=Out first met Byo and Reika mentioned it's also been a long time since meeting Kazuki as well. And then they were talking about the concept of Screw. Byo keeps calling Kouki "kakkoi!" when Kouki said something (I forgot what that "something" is... >n<)
Kouki and Byo then did a duet together. Byo said 「今日は世界観が深くて暴れられなかったからアンコールではハジけたい」(I think it means something like he could not go crazy during the live today since it's a ballads live, the encore is a huge moment for this). They sang one of Byo's favorite D=Out song 刺青 –tattoo-. That was when the fun began. Everything was lively and everyone was doing furitsuke. I forgot if it was Byo or Reika or Kouki that did this but someone squeezed the minion on Byo's head/hat and it made a squeaky sound!!!!! SO CUTE! Seriously Byo is so cute and tiny but tries to be sexy and mean. Anyways, he's perfect <3
There was also this one time when Byo's minion is kind of falling and Reika just sneakily took it easily and Byo didn't know till he was trying to grab for his minion on his head haha. So funny!
The last encore song they played was 鬼門(Damn this song has gyaku dive... I didn't participate though). During 鬼門, the rest of the Screw members came out too and I totally did not catch that moment that they came out. Everyone went crazily touchy and just crazy...!!!!! It was so much fun to watch!
Naoto, I've got to talk about him. On stage, he is one bright shining star. Immediately like him so much based on his stage personality. He pretends to be mean and have glaring eyes but he has that dry humor personality. He's so adorable! His make up today was so kakkoi!
Ok there's the crazy parts!! During the last song, they were all hugging and getting all over each other. Kazuki smiled!!!!!!! A few members(most likely it's Naoto and Jin messing around again.. doing the titanic pose a few times. They did that a few times with different members participating, lol)
At some point, Jin appeared in the audience area on the left side (farrrrr from me) and he joined the gyaku dive haha)!!! HE IS SO SHORT! I NEVER KNEW THAT!! SO KAWAII!!
Byo and Kazuki were standing on the middle of the stage and have their arms around each other, then facing each other, and then did a gentle peck/kiss on the lips <33333 THAT KILLED MY PURE LIL HEART <3 SO FUCKING LOVELY. Then Manabu and Naoto were kissing in the "exaggerated make out pose" though I had no idea if they really kissed or not but for sure Byo and Kazuki did. Kazuki was looking at them and pointing and laughing hahaha! Then, to top them, Kazuki and Reiki were tonguing each other... Like omg. That was a full night of fanservice. So much goodies to the eyes and I felt like a pervert. It was seriously my dream to SEE Byo and Kazuki kiss!!!! Dream come true!!! The encore was one of the most beautiful thing I've ever watched/witnessed. It was so difficult to keep track of everyone! I like too many members in Screw and D=Out. Every time I tried to look for Kazuki. He's at a different place. That guy....... :') I'm glad he's not gloomy during the encore and it seemed like he was enjoying it and having fun with the other members <3
At the very very very end of the live, Kouki said we will all take a group photo. I was in the worst situation to take a photo but YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WAS EXCITING, I'VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE I THINK.... OR AT LEAST DURING THE 2015 TIME FOR STYLISH WAVE, THE CUT OFF LINE WAS RIGHT BEFORE ME SO I WASN'T IN THE PHOTO SO THIS TIME I HOPE FOR THE BEST!
After the live, it seems like only D=Out is selling chekis. I bought 5 chekis and to my surprise, and I got 1 Kouki x Jin 2-shot, an atari Reika, and 3 Ibukis(1 atari). Seriously my luck for Ibuki is so good? Haha, I never knew that. But I'd wish I got a Kazuki or Byo two shot with a D=OUT member instead. Or a solo Kouki shot. I'm so happy I got two atari chekis though <3 I wished for a Naoto but I guess I will stalk his chekis one day to get one from this live. His make up was easy to distinguish.
Later in the night/next morning, they posted the group photos that their staff took after the live. I looked like shit but it's ok!!!! At least I wasn't cut off!!!!!!! It's the first picture I ever got "with" Screw. I wasn't able to take a real photo with them but being in the same photo as them, I consider this as a photo with them already. This captured my existence with them during their active moments still. So it's ok. Better than none!!! They posted two different ones. Byo is so cute >3< I love how my top 3 are sitting together, right next to each other. Kouki, Byo, and Kazuki. Thank you for tonight's live. Thank you for singing all these beautiful ballads. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry that my mind was rejecting part of the live, I love Screw and D=Out. And to even see these two bands on the same stage was also one of my dreams as well! 3 dreams in a live fulfilled!!!!! I had wish I was able to remember and feel more from this live. I felt I wasn't at my best condition but I will try not to forget this live. It's one of the few everything in fandom I would ask for.
