End of Madame Tussauds. The entrance fee quite expensive but is pretty worthwhile since the figures are very life-like!

I went to Cirque Du Soleil OVO performance at Odaiba.
Ticket cost around 12500 Yen which is around S$150.
Cirque Du Soleil is a world famous Circus performance group.

Ovo is one of the show they are performing in Japan now. Currently in Tokyo for a few months before going to Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and Sendai.

Another AKB i think?

Her name is Yuko Oshima. She used to be an AKB member but she just announced her graduation last yr, and her last theater performance at Akihabara AKB theaters was a few days ago, so she's now officially a solo artiste no longer with AKB group anymore. She will become a full-fledged acting actress aka 女優 (joyuu) from now on.

She used to be quite a famous child actress since young having done alot of TV dramas/movie roles on-screen before she joined AKB48 as a fellow member, but I guess for those who don't exactly follow japanese TV dramas won't know abt this fact at all.
