Buck-Tick karaoke at Round1

Since April Buck-Tick has been collaborating with the Japanese entertainment center Round1, to be more specific, the karaoke part of Round1. This means that they have a Buck-Tick themed room as well as original Buck-Tick cocktails.

When I visited Osaka in May I obviously went there! I was mostly curous about the cocktails and the promise of costers for every cocktail bought. The cocktails we tried out was both non alcohol  BISHU LOVE and BARAIROJUJIDAN - ROSEN KREUZER -, as well as MOON -Sayonara oshiete-.

I have to say the non-alcoholic ones were tastier than Moon -Sayonara oshiete, basically it tasted like a gin and tonic. The other two had layers wit syrap I guess and felt more interesting. After they came with our drinks the staff brought a box from which I got to draw costers from. I could not see which ones I drew so it's fully possible to get more than 1 of the same coster unfortunately. Since I had 3 chances I felt like I should be able to get Atsushi, but unfortunately not. (I ended up drawing Yagami, Yutaka and Hide) The cocktails was a bit expensive (800-650) but I'm a sucker for stuff like this so...

The Buck-Tick room was fully covered in Buck-Tick images on the walls and a trailer for their live DVD was playing on the screen. Even the table had their image.
Unfortunately I could not use the Buck-Tick room as that required a minimum of 4 guests, and we were only 2. On my way out I noticed it was vacant though, so I went inside for some photos. My disapointment of not being able to sit in this gloryfull room made me pass out on the table! (hohoho)

This collaboration lasts until 15th of July, and they also changed the costers on May 28th. So the ones I got are no longer available but a new set. There 1 week left so everyone who can should go! >_<

Karaoke and bread

If you're in Tokyo (maybe other cities too, I haven't really noticed) you probably have seen the square sized bread cafés and other places offer?
I had, and it amazed me! Why would anyone want a square of bread? I'm sorry but it doesn't look very appetizing, especially if you have tasted regular Japanese toast bread (spoiler: It's pretty dry!).

But the fact that you can order a loaf of bread was way too funny to resist. So I finally found one friend who also was kind of interested in trying it. On our last playdate, before she left Japan, we decided to go to karaoke and in Shinjuku, in Kabukicho close to Don Quijote there's a Pasela. Outside of Pasela they have huge ads for the toast, so when we reserved a room we also ordered a bread to share.

Pasela is supposedly expensive, but over all it didn't cost much more than any other karaoke place, so the extra money was worth it.

So, how was the bread? (also called honey toast) It was pretty good! It's huge though, so even when splitting it between two it was pretty much. The things with the bread is that it is dripping in some honey glazing, saving it from being dry. The topping is made of cream and ice cream, and on the side some syrup (to make it even sweeter, diabetes here I come!).
At Pasela they also had some interesting drinks, mine was the green one (highly not recomended, it tasted like tooth paste). The karaoke room itself was also really nice, it was pretty big and felt very clean and cozy. They had a rather big menu too!

Pasela doesn't only have karaoke, but also theme restaurants in Tokyo. I will cover that later, but I highly recommend this karaoke place if you're passing by Shinjuku!

They seemed to be selling these cute toasts in the entrance!

Saturdaynight in Shinjuku

We had a class today eventhough it's saturday :P so with all the afternoon free I and a friend went to Shinjuku! I mentioned it before, but I love Shinjuku! To me, Shinjuku shows the perfect image of (what I'm guessing) most people assume of Tokyo. Lots of tall buildings, lots' of neon and big screens, and of course lots of people! For the first time in my life I went to karaoke XD I hate singing so I've avoided that as much as possible, but it seemed like a fun thing to do, and it was to be honest XD The only band they had, and which I know the lyrics to, was BUCK-TICK, so now I'm well prepared for their concert next week XD

I also got myself a ticket for Schwarz Stein's one man live at Shibuya Rex on the 3rd of november, so if anyone wants me to get them something from the concert you can leave a comment here!

I'm so happy I got a good number too (7), hopefully I'll make it to the front row so I can stand before Hora again <3
