Gucci and the first PARTY

Gucci first met Mototsugu in 2006, during a Department party at the university.
He knew that the boy would be the one, because his hair was "set" like a "pineapple".

Dai and Pineapple

When Mototsugu first saw Dai in 2006, Dai was eating bunch of pineapples like Mototsugu had never seen (@ department party). "I've never seen a person with so many pineapples". That was exactly what Mototsugu thought. Mototsugu has not seen him eat pineapples ever since.

Shohei and GUCCI

Shohei first found GUCCI amongst several friends of his. The second time he met GUCCI, GUCCI was walking alone down the hill before the university. Shohei said hi to GUCCI but GUCCI did not remember who he was.

Dai and Sniffing

Dai and sniffing are two things that cannot be separated. Every now and then Dai comes up with an idea that he MUST sniff some powder.
He usually sniffs crushed Frisks and peppers but not drugs. Sometimes he even tries sniffing solid substances such as wasabi, but not drugs.

Jeff and the Grade

Jeff often find it difficult to get to uni. hence attain a good grade. When he was talking with GUCCI about school grades he said, "I just took ONE in mathematics but I managed to graduate from school." GUCCI was surprised, "I thought you have to finish another course of math to graduate. ONE is not enough, I mean, you have to take Mathematics A as well, right?" "No, no, I don't mean that." said JEFF, "One is the grade I got." GUCCI said afterward that he would not forget this day, this conversation.

Shohei and the Passport ep.1

In December 2008, Shohei and his family were invited to a wedding party that took place in Perth, WA. It was supposed to be a 7-day trip. At the airport right before departure, however, Shohei found something. Actually, he found that he did not have his passport with him. He and his family checked the entire luggage never to find it. The family went home. He remained in Australia. Having been stranded for 4 days, Shohei finally got his passport back and went home. You know where it was found? It was in his father’s luggage. So the truth was, the passport had been in his father’s luggage which he did not check and brought home. The family did not know where it was until they get to Kansai International Airport in Osaka. They then sent it back to Western Australia by FedEx air mail and Shohei finally got the document to travel between nations.

Do You Know What PASSPORT Is...?

Shohei and the Passport ep.2

In January 2010, Shohei was about to make a short trip to Jakarta, Indonesia. It was right before the departure. Yes, literally, it was right BEFORE the departure check-in counter, when Shohei knew he could not make his way to Indonesia. And it was the passport, again. Whoever wants to enter the state of Indonesia has to have a passport which will not expire within the next 6 months. This is what the lady at the counter told Shohei, whose passport was to expire in 2 months. So this was the end of his trip. Right before the check-in counter.

The one where Jeff cannot find The Star Spangled Banner

One typical day after college, Gucci and Jeff were hungry. Gucci had gone to a cafe called "Very Berry Cafe" before, however he only had the slightest idea where it was located. After, flashing through his memories, he knew for sure that it was located in Sanjo Kyoto. To confirm this Jeff searched for the phone number and made a call. Surprisingly they told him that the cafe was nowhere close to Sanjo. Gucci's instinct however told him that it was down the road they were standing on. After about 15 steps...no.....20 steps he saw the emblem. Yes, he saw the Star Spangled Banner! Gucci knew for sure that, that was Very Berry Cafe!

Gucci: "Jeff we found it! There it is! That one with The Star Spangled Banner!"

Jeff:"..."

Gucci:" I knew it would be here! I knew it!"

Jeff: "......."

Gucci:"Can't wait to drink the smoothie!!"

Jeff: "... I don't see it Gucci"

Gucci: " What? It's right over there! Where I'm pointing!"

Jeff: ".... um... still don't see it...I would know if I see it...but I don't see it... are you sure ou see it?"

Gucci: " You got to be kidding me! You lived in the States and you can't find it? It's right there look!!" (points)

Jeff: "OMFG!!!!!!!!" (looks up, Jeff is under the Star Spangled Banner)

The one where Dai gets shot

It was the first and last time we witnessed Dai getting shot.

We were at Babyface eating our dinner.

Since it was packed we were waiting at the waiting area. When we took a seat at the area, we noticed that there was a little boy under the seats. Gucci and Dai were discussing that the boy was actually Solid Snake, and he was on a mission. Dai having a heart of a child, talked to the boy crawling under the seat.

Dai:"Hey"

Boy"..."

Dai "Becareful little guy! You could get hurt under there"

(気をつけや、怪我すんで〜）

Boy:"..."

The boy crawled out and went inside to his seat.

After we were settled at our table the boy came to our seat and shot Dai with a BB gun.

He was shot couple of times during dinner. Unfortunately, Dai was eating the biggest sized dish. He had to battle with the food and at the same time battle the boy.

The one where Oyaji and Hosome are left out

On our Trip to Guam 2006, the rooms were divided by the travel agency. The room keys were given out and Oyaji and Hosomi had a room for themselves. They were happy to be in the same room together because they hung out with each other a lot.

When the rest of the tennis team checked into their rooms they found a very suspicious door. Gucci went to the door and found out that it was a door to connect the rooms! However, there wasn't a door which led to Oyaji and Hosomi's room. They were left out.

Shina and the camouflaged Fishy

Gucci and his high school tennis team colleagues (including Oyaji, and Shina) went to Guam for Vacation during the dates of January 6-9th 2010.

Everyone had a great time snorkeling, banana boating, jet skiing, and para-sailing.

Gucci, Oyaji, Shina, Hosome, and Nakano snorkeled together looking for "Sea Cucumber".

During our search, Nakano found a fish that was camouflaging with the sea floor.

We observed the fish waiting for it to move.

Suddenly a rock bigger than the fish came into our sight. Luckily the fish moved out of the way from the danger.

Next thing we heard was chuckling under water.

We all found out that this rock was thrown by SHINA.

Gucci loses iPhone @ Ageha Studio Coast

Jeff and Gucci went to Ageha with two friends (one guy and a girl) in Tokyo.

One of the friends was planed to DJ at the club.

It was 1am when Gucci tells Jeff that he lost his iPhone in the club.

Jeff and Gucci starts to look for the iPhone in the club.

Gucci did not want to ruin the night by disclosing that he had lost his phone.

Gucci and Jeff searched the club floor without having the girl know that Gucci lost his phone.

After a couple attempts of Jeff telling Gucci to go check the front desk, Gucci finaly moved his feet to the front desk.

The phone was actually there and Gucci had found the phone. He realized "This was JAPAN"

The four enjoyed the rest of the night at Ageha Studio Coast.

Jeff and Gucci at the curry festival (Year2)

Jeff and Gucci went to the Kanda curry festival. The festival is to eat and vote for the best curry. For each plate of curry, you receive a ticket to vote.

Gucci realized to be able to make a fair vote, they have to know all the taste.

Jeff and Gucci ate one plate of curry from all the stands in one day (20 booths).

When they went to the voting booth, they were the first to historically eat all of the curry shops in one day.

The press of the festival took a photo of the two in front of the main enterance.

During the photo, an idol stared at Jeff and said "I envy him eating all that CURRY!"

Epilogue: After the festival Gucci went to Shibuya to chill with his friend. Gucci ate beef cutlet for dinner. Because of the curry he did not get the big size rice.
