I met GOMI ^^

[SKYia]

Not a biggie I know but I wanted to share this memory ^^

I decided that once I'm in Japan I'll visit his bar, I checked when it's open and went on Dec 29th.



Me and a friend of mine spent whole 5minutes in front of the door wondering what kind of bar will it be (knowing that Gomi is homosexual) and if we should enter at all, but after seeing lots of photos of him and his friends with kids there (on FB) I was pretty sure it won't be anything bad.

So we went inside, my friend went first (he speaks Japanese quite well) and Gomi was first person on the other side of the door and he (my friend) actually told him that we are looking for Tsuyoshi Otsubo, LOL (I wanted to just sit and have a drink, not telling immediately that I know him).

I must have told my friend something like 'yes, it's him' and I must have done it in my native language (Polish) because I head "Gorąco zapraszamy" (You are most welcome) from the inside of the bar !!! O_O

My attention immediately switched to the other barman who was (as we found out few minutes later) half Japanese half Polish, my friend explained Gomi in Japanese that I know him (Gomi) and we wanted to visit him and his bar (he didn't realize someone spoke our native language), a third barman joined the discussion thinking we may want to speak English and we all started talking.



So we ordered some drinks and had small talks with each of them, mostly with the polish speaking guy (Jan) but Gomi was also asking some typical questions from time to time like where are we from, etc. He couldn't believe someone from Poland would come especially to visit his bar. Among the most interesting things, he told us that he's going to watch CDL performance on the 30th, we drank his signature drink (something with chocolate), also at one point he was peeling kiwi and he didn't know how, he told us it's his first time, we had some good time

My friend isn't interested in Ayu so when I first told him I want to visit one of her former dancers he wasn't crazy about it but he said afterwards that he didn't expect Gomi to be so nice and down to earth / modest-shy but outgoing at the same time (hard to describe but you know him, he's just like on the stage in a positive 'non-celebrity' way).

The bar itself is a room size (one room actually, very small), there were maybe 5 other people there. We talked mostly with Jan, we were interested about his background, it's very unusual to meet Polish person in Japan.

I actually asked if I can take a pic (meaning with Gomi) but Gomi said we can take pics of the bar but not of him (neither with him, he didn't say it but so I assumed), and Jan explained that Gomi doesn't want Ayu fans to come just because of him (my bad...) but if I come often or get him really drunk he will probably agree Unfortunately, we didn't want to spend to much time there and left after two hours or so.

I will definitely go back there next time I'm in Japan, the adress is on his FB page, not that difficult to find but the obvious conclusion to my trip is that you better go there for some drink, not as Ayu/Gomi fan
