12-11-2011 Visiting NHK Cool Japan TV studio

This blog is in memory of Tatsuyuki san.

So this blog post is super duper late!
The reason why is, first I already was late and when I wanted to write about this day I found out 
that one of the producers passed away, so I felt too sad to write about the memory of him.
So this part should be in my travel blog, but since it is also about NHK I'll just post it on both

So I was invited to visit and see the making of a episode of  the 
Japanese TV show Cool Japan that is being broad casted on NHK World.
The reason is because in the past I have made two videos for them, 
so they wanted to meet me in person.
The huge building of NHK is in Shibuya, 
so when we walked to the location we first got some Takoyaki for lunch.

Once we got to the entrance of the building my contact person Tatsuyuki 
already was waiting for us and he guided us into the huge building!
It felt like walking into a never ending maze.
Once we arrived in the part that is used for making Cool Japan
he introduced us to the guests who would be in today's episode.

Me and Hennie in the studio




















 Of course I wanted a picture together with the two TV hosts of the show.


















While I stayed in the studio to watch the episode being made my boyfriend Hennie
went up to the control room.


















It was a pleasure to meet everyone and see how they work.

After visiting the studio we went for dinner.

Tonkatsu!


















Mine was filled with cheese.


















 Shibuya crossing


















Pretty moon in Shinjuku


















For desert I had dango.


























This was our last day in Japan so I will end this blog with some departing pictures of the day after.

Waiting for the bus to arrive.


























Hello airplane!




















And then to really end this blog 
I want to tell you that I will be going back to Japan in October!!!

Gyaru fashion picnic

A week ago I went with some friends to the Dutch Gyaru picnic.
Also other Japanese fashion styles were welcome, so that was very nice.

If you are not know with Gyaru here is a small explanation.
So what is Gyaru? 
Gyaru is a fashion style targeting girls and boys in the ages from 16 to mid twenties.
It is a look that is over the top girly and everything has to be perfect.
A lot of attention is paid to hair, body, fashion and face and a lot of tools are used to enhance beauty.
Wigs, Make-up, fake eyelashes and even colored contact lenses.
Within Gyaru there are a lot of different styles, but I'll try to explain those a different time.

Here is the group shot.

I took some pictures of the girls who were my personal favorites.
I think it is because I love the brand Liz Lisa and they all are dressed in this brands style,
although they don't actually all wear the brand.

Jojo in a cute dress from Yumetenbo


























And I thought it was fun that Rox and Charlotte dressed as twins.
I wore a outfit inspired by the looks I have seen in the Japanese
magazine Popteen.
Loose fashion have been very popular in Japan and I wanted to try
it because it looks so comfortable.
