Headed out early to meet up with zabitan in Chiba. We geared up for a full day of AKB sightseeing. First stop was in the middle of nowhere with some easy to bypass ticket gate. After 20 minutes of walking uphill we arrived here:

Got a couple of shots, then made a short rest and zabitan took pics of the toilet the girls may have used.

Obviously the sign says something else. Probably edited with CG.

Then it was a long walk back to the station and we arrived at Shinjuku around 1pm for lunch. Continued our journey west, and the next location was also uphill. Now I know why they shut down the school. Yup, we was about to visit the Majisuka Gakuen school. I was very hopeful and kinda sure that nobody would be there, but what the fuck! Kids were having a big baseball game there and all their parents were around! Screw you. It said entrance forbidden for unauthourized people all over. Was first thinking of just heading straight in and hope nobody would say anything but I had the feeling the kids would be of the stupid kind. So we just went around to the backside where we could climb over the fence and see some more of the school. All doors and windows were completely locked, and the stairs on the outside do not go all the way up to the roof top. Blah. We decided to hang around and see if they would leave, but it certaintly didn't look like it. Went up the stairs on the other building and spotted this!
Hmm, this could very well be our way in, to at least get some shots from the where Team Hormone beat up Daruma and Maeda gets serious in the first episode. We would be spotted right away though, so that would be after the kids left. At least they would leave before it got dark. We probably looked like stalkers after hanging around for 4 hours, and when they finally left, we jumped over the gate which said entrance forbidden and got a couple of shots.

This could have been the hen house where Torigoya gets locked in and fucked up, but after looking at the episode again, it's not.
This is where Gekikara beat up Gakuran. There was no way to get down there except through the changing rooms which were of course locked.

Two shots on the inside, first floor, taken through the windows.
When we were leaving, we spotted this gate being wide open… LOL
Even if it was very tiring, it was a well spent day with AKB sightseeing and someone to talk about AKB all day. Thanks for coming along, zabitan!
