It seemed to take us forever on various trains to make our way out to the show. But eventually we made it. We walked fast to the theatre as we were running a bit late. Once we got there, Julie realised that they show started at 1 not 1.30 so we had missed about 20 minutes but once we were seated it was amazing. We had great seats right near the stage and the show, Zed, was awesome. They have a permanent theatre dedicated to Cirque shows. Some of the acts were amazing especially the couple who moved through a number of balancing poses in super slow motion. You could see every muscle in their body - incredible!
After the show we had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe which was set up like a jungle and where the lights and sounds made it seems like a rain storm was coming through every 20 minutes. The animatronic animals also added to the effect.
We made our way back into town and made plans to pick up our bags and make our way to Musashi-Sakai station to meet Warren and drop off our bags. Between the four of us, we managed to work it out and arrived in time to meet Warren. We dropped off the bags and then caught the train again to Kichijoji.
There we met up with Sue, Mark and the boys before walking to the karaoke bar. We left Mark, Warren and Ross to their own devices while the girls and Sue's boys headed to our private room to crank up the karaoke machine. It was a hoot! It took a while for everyone to get into it but soon enough there were power ballads being cranked up all over the place accompanied by air guitar. Eventually, Mark. Ross and Warren found their way back to us and joined in for a few final songs. They had been at the pub for a while so they were in good spirits. After 2 hours of karaoke, we were all pretty much done.
We headed back to the train station and Warren and Julie showed us to their friends place where we would be spending a couple of nights. So Dee, Lyndell, Ross and I made our selves comfortable and headed pretty much straight to bed after a great day!
