Last night was the last New Students Welcome Event, Club Night. Man, it was crazy fun. But I'm so tired now since I was helping my buddies set up and then it was time to dance like crazy, and I was, along with a few other friends, trying to get the first years to get out onto the floor and dance.
I bet all you Berkeley people have never seen me go this crazy.
After Club Night, there was an after party at this really nice Japanese restaurant and we all ate tons of good food and drank a lot... and of course, talked a lot too. Then there was another after party at, whuddya know, "Party Party", a karoke joint. After that, most of us were worn out (it was 3am) and most of us decided to go back to our places, but a few people were crazy enough to go to another after party at Ken-chan's place (more drinking).
So, here are pics.

Miki (Mikitaka), one of our great MC's of the night. He's the man!
Miki and Eri. Eri was one of our wonderful DJ's and also helped get the crowd get pumped and dancing. She's such a great dancer! She was nice enough to teach Miki, KC(the other MC for the night), and me a few moves.

Kumage, the bartender!
Ayana (the "welcome girl") and me.

The ballroom dancing club came to perform for us. They were terrific!
For some reason Phoebe is by herself to the left staring out into space...
Tango!!
The Shamisen Club (Mugen-juku). You had to be there to see, and listen how awesome they were.
They just plain kicked ass.
A big birthday cake for all the April birthday people (all girls coincidentally). Yuri made this cake. She's a certified patisse? (I don't know how to spell French). Oh well, it just means she's certified to become a professional designed -cake and sweets maker. And by the way, Yuri will be coming to Berkeley to study abroad for a year, so maybe she might make something wonderful for us!?

Now for the Japanese restaurant after party:
To-oru and me. This dude is my little bro, my Œã”y. I am his æ”y.
This is Seiichi. He's another one of my little bros. And Phoebe's hand got in the way...
Kenjiro (aka Tori-ken). We all call him Tori-ken. He's gonna be an important dude in the Japanese gov. someday. It'll be wise to be on his good side. Good thing I am so far!
Let's end this with the three mafia-bosses: Naoko, Taka-san, and Isshii-. You all deserve a nice smoke break. You guys worked so hard!
And so the month of April is almost at an end. I truly hope the Kokusai (College of International Studies) first years enjoyed themselves with all these events their seniors set up for them. It was a great experience helping my buddies out setting all of these events up, as well as enjoying the events just like a freshman. I guess I was able to experience both sides of the whole thing, which has been a real blast.
