★ Ren & Hiroki - Best Friends Forever れん&ひろき、ベストフレンドほど仲良し ★

The funniest duo in Japan is back and ready to eat a box of Swedish chocolate!! =D

If you have been reading this blog for a while, you might recognize these two. 
Otherwise you can read about the first time I met them here.  

Ren & Hiroki knows everything about the concrete jungles of Tokyo.
You don't decide when to meet them, they just appear at random places when
you're bored making life much more fun! XD

Here I'm standing next to a soda machine waiting for the train to take me to Harajuku,
where I was going to meet a half-philippine gyaru named Hitomi.

With Hitomi. She's a member of the gyaru-circle Jewel and were hanging out with a member from
the gyaru-circle Logos today in Harajuku. 

Far from all gyaru are members of gyaru-circles anymore,
but there's still many around arranging events and dancing Para-Para.

Hitomi is in the bottom left corner of the Purikura photo to ther right, together with some other Jewel-members.

 

She was kinda hard to recognize because every time you meet her she have a new hair style.

I met Hitomi for the first time at club Atom's Renewal Party a couple of months ago, through our common friend Amikoro to the left. I love Hitomi's pose and nails!

She's not only great at setting up her hair, she also decorates her nails in really cool ways. One of her nail decorations to ther right.

But her friend Amikoro is even more extreme. Just look at the nails above that Amikoro decorated!! :O

I gave Hitomi an "Absolut Svensk"-shirt. Now she has officially been "Swedified" like so many others. ;)

Then I went to the shopping center LaForét to look at their latest fashion. Always entertaining! XD

Looking forward to see someone wearing this mask! :P

More inspiring outfits...

This hat is just too much hahaha!! But people do wear these kind of stuff in Japan.

Like this couple that Said photographed for our street snap web site TokyoFaces a while ago.

Most of their clothes and accessories were homemade but they had definitley bought the shoes at
that store.

On my way home I saw two people looking like EGG-models outside this store on Takeshita street.

But when I came closer I saw that it was Ren & Hiroki. Even better than EGG-models!!^^
We were both so suprised and happy to meet again! =)

They had just been buying the purple belts they're wearing to match eachother and now they were getting customized friendship bracelets.

They were waiting for an old lady in the store to write their names on bracelets like this. They were
so nice and complimented her a lot on how great she was at writing their names on the bracelets.

Me: -"What have you two been up to lately?"

Hiroki: -"Oh just the same old. Nothing exciting has happend." (sad face)

Me: -"Do you like chocolate?"

Ren & Hiroki: -"Yeah we love chocolate!!"

Me: -"I was recently in Sweden. You can have this chocolate box as a souvenir if you want."

Ren & Hiroki: -"Wooow!! Can we really have this!?? Thanks Rikku!!

Hiroki: -"Who were you here to meet?"

Me: -"A gyaru friend."

Hiroki: -"Hahaha Rikku has become a gyaru!!"

-"I saw a foreign gyaru-circle on Kawaii TV. They were really cute.
Everytime we see foreigners we think that it might be your friends."

 

Ren making a funny face as usual! ;D

Ren: -"Have you talked to Akkiina since last time we met?"

Me: -"Yeah I met him at a EGG Youth Party. He was very nice but super shy and started laughing like a girl when I talked to him."

Ren: -"Hahah yeah Akkiina is gay."

With Bataason, Akkiina and Gakkii before a EGG Youth Party in 2010.

Me: -"Let's take a picture together."

Ren: -"How?"

*I ask a person that walks by to take our picture.*

-"Ah, Sasu Ga Rikku!!" = "Ah, that's so typical Rikku!!"

Then we decide to walk to Shibuya to take some Purikura, and on the way Ren and Hiroki tries all the Swedish "Paradis"-chocolate resulting in the funniest video so far on this blog!!^^
 


I wish I knew how to subtitle videos. Here's a summary of what happens:

Ren and Hiroki realizes I'm filming a video and not just taking a picture and starts laughing! XD

Hiroki takes a photo of the chocolate for his blog while Ren stares at it with extremley high expectations.

Ren takes a bite of the chocolate and thinks it tastes way too good...

...So he goes into some kind of trance and his eyes almost starts rolling around! XD

Hiroki's favourite chocolate inside the box of chocolate was the "Triple Nut" that he's pointing at. 

All of a sudden Yukino comes up to me. Ren and Hiroki are shy, so they run 10 meters away while continue to eat the chocolate.

Hiroki: -"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Me: -"No, do you two have girlfriends?"

Ren & Hiroki: -"No." 

Me: -"Why? You could easily get girlfriends."

Hiroki: -"We don't care so much. It's just as fun to hang out with normal friends."

Ren: -"I like Rihanna."

Older Japanese people want to be as white as possible to the extent that they even have umbrellas when it's sunny. But not Ren.

He seems obsessed with getting tanned and goes to solarium one or two times a week. 
Maybe he wants to get the same skin tone as Rihanna. I'm just worried he will get skin cancer or something if he never stops. :/

When we reached Shibuya we went to "Purikura Mekka" to take Purikura but some gyaru circle Ren and Hiroki didn't want to meet were hanging outside there.

So Ren and Hiroki started discussing where they could go instead and it was so funny to listen to them. They know exactly every place where you can take Purikura, where there's rules that only let girls come in and where it's crowded certain times of the day.

  











































We took Purikura in two different machines. Here's the photos.

Ren got happy when I told him he looks like a Disney character on some of the pictures! :D

After taking the photos it was time for a classic Purikura game. You have to arrange the pieces on the screen into a complete picture.

I have seen so many people try this and fail. But when I asked Ren if he's good at this game, he was confident that he could make it. Ren and Hiroki never brag so this was going to be exciting to watch:



When it was only 10 second left Ren still wasn't done so I thought he would loose...

But one second later he's done! The Purikura machine just got p0wned!!! =D

His face after winning is priceless!! XD
Looks like he's thinking -"I told you so!!" ^^

Then we went to Shibuya 109-2 looking around and talking to the staff
there before this adventure was over and we had to go home.

I'm happy that the BFF Ren and Hiroki met eachother in this cold world, and I can't wait to meet
them again making me forget all about it!! ;D
