@tanya9nithreus

The hip-hop restaurant? It's easy enough to find, as it's close to the lower end of Takeshita Street (Main fashion street in Harajuku). Although, you do need to go down into a basement of another shop ^___^ On the stairs you can see loads of signed photos of famous rappers!

[tanya9nithreus]

@ShiverZ66 Signed Photos of famous rappers??? wow! =D so that place is probably something you go look at when you're at harajuku right?? xP cool! i'll definitely find it i think haha =). and now i wanna go even more =P. thanks for explaining ;D. btw what kind of food do they have? =)

Oooh, my mom and I went to studio katsura too! She did geiko and I did maiko. So much fun... Ah, memories :-)

[ShiverZ66]

I was originally going to go for Maiko, because of the beautiful long hair, but I ended up Geiko because of the beautiful make-up and gowns ^_^ So much fun, indeed!

[artsyrezuri]

Hm? You were both Maiko too. :-)

Maiko are apprentice Geiko; the difference is that Maiko wear the red collar and have a red thing at the back of their hair. They also have longer sleeves and their kimono are generally more brightly coloured.

[ShiverZ66]

Oh yesh, oops! My feeble mind gets it all confused.

[alestane]

Beautiful long hair... Heian period noble girl?

[ShiverZ66]

Thankyou ^_^ I'm not quite sure which period the costumes are based in, but I'm guessing you could be quite right.

[geishastace]

You and your friend made 2 awesome geisha`s. I went to a place in Kyoto a few years back and wished I made a video of it. Thanks for the memories:)

[ShiverZ66]

Thankyou so much! When I saw myself in the finished make-up I didn't even recognise myself ^_^

No problemo', I wish to explore Kyoto at somepoint in the future, any recommendations?

[geishastace]

I`d recommend you see the Imperial park and the Nico Castle. Plus the Gion distrist.

[ShiverZ66]

I'll add that to my too do list, thanks for the tips!

[MagicMovieMoments]

You and Amy look great as Geisha women. Love the clothes and make-up. It must of been the highlight of your trip. Awesome footage! :)

[ShiverZ66]

Certainly was worth the trip indeed, especially since I love to cosplay in my freetime when I'm back in England ^_^ Thankyou for the compliments!
