BON ODORI 2009
MUAHAHA! You have no idea how clear the pictures were that I took with my DSLR CAMERA! exceptionally beautiful! =)
Alright, after spending about 25 mins on LRT, i got down at central and took another 30 mins in KTM to get to the Shah Alam station. The free shuttle bus arrived at 4.15pm like tat.
After reaching the Matsushita Stadium, we got our free fans that had the agenda on one side and a picture on the other. Smart enough, I took two using my clever brain.
First, this is how the place looks like. I mean the stage lar. When me n Calvin first arrived, the Japanese Students were already practising.

Then of course, so were the guards. They were receiving commands when we arrived.
Still practising, but this time i got a closer shot.
Calvin and me went survey the prices and types of food there. We did not manage to do it last year, so since we were early this time, might as well go and find out lor.
First authentic Japanese girl I saw. I just had to take a pic.
The food here was not reli cheap... So we did not reli buy as we weren't interested in the food too.
Somehow I felt these ppl were local. From their style and their way of walking. I'm here to expose and reveal the secrets and distinguish the real and fake. XD
JAPANESE ICE CREAM! Very nice. RM6 for each type though. The one I had was biscuit type on the outside but Ice cream on the inside. Supremely nice.. X)
Nah... Just to show you how big the field is. The stall section is behind where I stood though.
Takoyaki. Awesome leh... Japanese Sotong-Balls. We bought 6 balls at RM7.. OMG, it was cold.. If hot den better lar...
What would a Japanese culture event be without Sushi King right? They even have their own rotating table tingy here. During night time, it was full man... No chance to eat at all...
These 5 are confirm FAKES! XD
Performers, pure japanese performers before changing into their kimonos.
Alright, I have been waiting to explain this.. XD
Violation number 1 - No COSPLAY!
It's so obvious these two were cosplaying man.. can't u tell? XD
2nd pic of the cosplay ppl. They shud read d rules first next time..
3 Real japanese girls... At first I mistook the black shirt girl for the same girl that I took my most awesome pic in my life... =) too bad wasn't her...
This was the pic I took in Bon Odori 2008. Awesome background effects. She din perform this year...
OMG man.. The girl was so cute. I asked the dad for a pic and the girl willingly came. KAWAII! HAHA, Calvin, thx for taking for me. U din wan to take urself, so dun blame me yea.. XD
The only fella in the whole event that had the traditional japanese umbrella. Of course must take pic lar.. XD
Real japanese, seriously man... They were talking so fast I barely had the chance to understand. I just caught some main words only.. T.T
Somehow, the only "stunning" red kimono I saw. She's a fake Japanese though.
And then I saw this picture. Okay, now let me explain my main intention of this picture. I did not meant to take pic of the red hair guy. Instead I was taking the pic of the Wan Ton's in kimono's. (In case u deno, Wan Ton's means.... MALAI REN... I saw d pic only realize d red hair guy.. XD)
Me and Calvin bought Sake.. RM6 per cup. Drank but not drunk. Throat hot but not burning.
Girl behind was Rebecca who joined us after me and Calvin arrived about one hour plus later. Luckily she was rather sociable.. I dun reli noe her even thou same sec skul be4 but at least can chat lar...
Calvin's bro. Followed school bus. ALAH! Becoz of u lar I had to find my own way home... T.T
Pls refer back to violation number 1, you pink dressing cosplayer... XD
Here you have almost the whole view of the ppl in the stadium. Estimated about 20k? or more... A lot of ppl.
Then we have the dances... For more information regarding the dances, pls see the few links below... It's on youtube but it's last years dances... Same this year.. I was inside it, dancing and enjoying myself. Quite fun as I yelled and cheered quite often...
So roughly, this is it. I have like so many more photos but not the time to show every one of them. I'm sorry. This is how the event ended lar. Din stay back for fireworks, too bad.
Alright... I need to continue on a story that I've been writing. I know it's 12.30am d. But I wanna finish one chapter or so. If it can make her smile, I'm going to write a chapter of "Voices of a Distant Star"...
IF ONLY SHE COULD BE BY MY SIDE.. BUT SHE'S ASLEEP.. SWEET DREAMS, DEAR.. =)
