Day 4: last day of Comiket77 and New Year's Eve party at Shibuya

We left our hotel same time as the last two days too and headed over to the last (and the most important) day of Comiket77. I bought a "traditional" plain onigiri from convini as a breakfast and I have to say I still hate seaweed. We rode with the usual JR-yurikamome lines and arrived to C77 bit after 10 o'clock. between 10:00-15:00 I was running from one place to another doing various purchases and at 15:00 I went to see if Rubicon Hearts would have any their doujins left. We'll as expected their doujin had been sold out already but there was a sample copy on the table which I browsed thru. I talked with one of the circle's staff members and asked if I could buy that doujin anywhere before 11th January. She replied that I should follow their twitter site for updates of the selling places and she also told how that doujin isn't sold in any of the usual places. I left the circle's table with mixed feeling because the Kyoto, haru. doujin they were selling was really amazing. But then the staff member ran to me and said how she was able to sell one copy of that doujin for 2000 yen price because I live so far away and I'm leaving back relatively soon. So now I'm a proud owner of the Kyoto, haru. doujin. ^^

I wasted about 20'000 yens for the last day of Comiket and after C77 ended we headed back to hotel. Around 18:30 we headed over to Shibuya where our friend Qward was waiting with his friends. There were 4 of em in total: Qward, mFX (which I met last year too), yuzuki and yuzuki's friend Shiba. At first we all tried to go eat some ramen but the ramen place I got recommended for was full so we decided to get some yakiniku instead. At yakiniku restaurant we ate lots of good grilled meat and talked some stuff about ourselves. When we were done eating it was time for some arcade action because me and Laggy wanted to show off our Bemani skills to the new audience. We spent a little over an hour at Game Kaikan Monaco and bit before 23:00 o'clock we headed to an american pub called Kong where Qward had reserved a 2 hour nomihoudai (all you can drink buffet) for us. The rest of the night went pretty smoothly and quoting from one of the The Fast Show sketches I'd say "and I was really, really drunk". We had to wait for the first train to ride there which was not until 4:00 in the morning. So half of us passed out around 2:00 but somehow that's okay to sleep in pubs at Japan which I found weird. We were back at hotel around 5:20 and I passed out almost immediately after arriving back.
