In all the train stations, I saw the ads for HanaDan x ANA for Hong Kong and Las Vegas...






And an ad for the video game....








Then Arashi really started popping up everywhere... In Harajuku... and on the Yamanote....

Every morning when I got to the JR station, I was greeted by Sho-kun... who was excited he won't get lost this summer in Hawaii....


Aiba on the way back to my hotel from Shibuya



Then I saw MatsuJun in Ueno excited about having his phone be his own movie theater this summer






But it was all about the Hana Yori Dango Final Adventure for me....
Then I went to the TBS studio in Akasaka, I saw them setting up for a live broadcast of interviews before the movie.  They were recreating the F4 lounge, and there were pix of the cast all over the outside of TBS.  Each pillar had a member of F4 and Tsukushi on it with a little quote.. i didn't take pictures of them all though... :'(

Then when we got inside TBS's main buliding, there was another display and Boobo was wearing a HanaDan Final shirt and holding a bouquet of flowers right at the entrance of the door!  There was also a display for Mauo there!  The reception desk was also decorated with HanaDan final theme stuff (i should've taken a picture of it) and the fliers for the movie were next to it, so I grabbed like 5... or more... hehehe.

After looking like totally obsessed fans, we headed over to the TBS Official store... HanaDan Final goods!!!!!!  There was everything there!!!  Boobo wearing a HanaDan Final shirt, the Tsukushi shirt (which i didnt see her wear in the movie), clear file folders, pens, senbei, keitai straps, charms, dango, the tiara, towels, note pad paper, ID/Badge holder, the photo book, a Tsukushi collaboration ring, and the Venus no hohoemi tiara.  They were also displaying the limited edition post cards (that came with the pre-ordered tickets, which i have two sets of!)!!!  I was going crazy...Originally i had grabbed everything, but....


I only bought the charms and the cell phone strap. 

I ended up also getting the special strap from Family Mart that was actually better than the one being sold at the TBS shop.  It has crazy swarovski crystal action going on there.  (on a down side, i didnt go into a famima.. which i should've done, cuz of all the crazy hanadan stuff... but oh well...)

I was super pumped on Friday night, to the point where i wasn't tired at all, even though my family and I had been out all day.. but when we got to the hotel i was sooo stoked because the HanaDan Final special was on TBS, and I didn't know it was gonna be on because I had been without internet for so long... but watching it live was exciting... since I didnt win the contest to actually go.

But I did head over to Ebisu Garden place before I watched the movie... figured it'd be a good way to hype myself up... and it turned out to be a good idea since it showed up in the movie too!







Anyways, I watched the movie on Saturday (opening) night at Ikebukuro Humax theater.  We decided to go there because it is a small theater and we figured it wouldn't be too crowded. We got there two hours early to get our tickets, then made our way to HMV next door to pass the time and ask when Aiko's single was gonna be released. There was a lot of people seeing the movie on Saturday night, and a lot of them had pre-purchased tickets like I had.

They were selling the special Theater goods there, but they weren't selling the one thing I wanted, the pen!!!  So I ended up buying the Venus no hohemi tiara necklace.

Oh well, ooh, and there was a program I probably should've bought it, but I didnt... And this theater was selling a special Drink set with floats representing each character.






Let me just say that the movie was awesome. It was soooo awesome that I watched it a second time at the TOHO Roppongi Hills Cinema at 9:45am Sunday Morning before I left to fly back home to Hawaii (and it wasn't only because I still had another ticket).

I didn't really do the research on the theater, so I was surprised when I got up to the second floor to see that that's where the filming for the drama too place.  I frantically took my camera out and snapped some quick pix on my run to theater 7.  One because i was soaking wet from the rain, and two because it was already 9:46 when I had bought my ticket.

Here they were selling more magazines than the Ikebukuro theater was, but still no pen!  I was super sad, but glad to have seen the movie twice.







Anyways, here's the link to the intense summary of the movie for those who can't wait to see it....  HanaDan Final!

will post pix of my goods later!!!
