5/31 My first stop in Nagoya - Johnny's Shop
After arriving in Nagoya, my first stop is to find the Johnny's Shop Nagoya branch.
The live photos of Arashi Osaka con are out!
So ofcourse need to check out how the photos are!!!
I hadn't been to this Johnny's shop in Nagoya yet so I am excited to go check out this place.
When I arrived at the place around 9plus (the shop opens at 10.30am), there was already some fans queuing.
So I had to get in line and wait and wait and wait...
Meanwhile it was drizzying slightly.
Finally at around 10.45am, the staff let us in.
The Johnny's shop is housed in some dingy dark old building.
It is on the 2nd floor and you have to walk up a very narrow staircase to go up.
Inside the building, it really looks like one of those scary ghost movie which you have seen.
However once you reached the shop on the 2nd floor, all scary thoughts are forgotten as you are dazzled by the photos of the Johnnys groups!
There was a mad dash by everyone to the Arashi photos corner.
(I guess most of the people would be Arashi fans especially since if you travel all the way from other prefectures to watch the concerts, you would want to come to the Johnny's shop too.)
The Arashi corner is quite small and so many many people are crowding around it.
So it took me about 30min of squeezing and jabbing my way to the front just so that I can choose the photos.
Then another 15min to wander off to the other Johnnys group to choose some other photos too.
But the horrible part is! It took about another 1hour wait just to pay for the photos!!! *FAINT!!!*
There are only 4 counters serving!!!
As compared to the amount of people buying the photos... which are many many many people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uncle Johnny! What are you thinking! Making fans queue and queue and queue!

Well, to be a Johnnys fan, the one thing you learn is to Queue! Wait! Queue! Wait! Queue! Wait!
