Johnny at Narita airport earlier today,
where fans greeted him with hugs and gifts,
including "Poker Face Bear," a new
adorable creation by Ineko Nakagawa!
Exclusive photo courtesy of Ineko-san.
Kayso Johnny arrived safely in Japan last night/today/at some point between his five-alarm tweet and the ensuing bazillion hours of radio silence broken only by John Kerr's not-at-all disquieting query re: the repeated announcement of Johnny's name at Newark airport which did not in any way cause fans to completely spazz and spend the rest of the day/night/month of January freaking out that he had missed his flight to Tokyo for his debut with Stars on Ice: Japan Tour 2013, which is likely the first time I have ever written "Johnny" and "Stars on Ice" in the same sentence without even a trace of derision. Yay for Japan Tour 2013!! Would that the US and Canada SOI tours could get a rainbow-colored clue before they completely go out of business (oh, there it is: the derision missing from the previous sentence...).
We interrupt our blog mid-snark to bring you additional exclusive photos courtesy of Ineko from Johnny's arrival at Narita Airport at about 3 pm Thursday or 7 hours from this writing like if we were living in the movie Memento:
He's here!
Yay!! New bear to add to his collection from Ineko!
So wonderful, and accurate down to the tiniest detail,
including the shoulder decorations... :D
Listening to fans...
...autographing stuff...
...exclaiming over gifts...
...more autographs...
...more gifts...
...and then it's time to go
to catch the flight to Osaka.
But here's one more pic
with Poker Face Bear. ♥
Please be sure to click for larger view.
It's amazing!

Epilogue:
Love Is Love
Victor's anniversary tweet to Johnny.
Photo tweeted by Victor Wednesday
of notes Johnny left for his husband
to find while Johnny's in Japan.
As my state of Illinois considers its own
marriage-rights bill this week, which,
if approved, would make us the 10th state
to enact marriage equality, I so want to
email this to every person in my state.
Or maybe this whole blog post.
And also this one.
Very special thanks to
Ineko Nakagawa

A couple of the pictures wouldn't load for me! Stupid computer! So cute Tema and Ping! Ah! And I still think Johnny's Japanese fans rock. I didn't even know he was going to Japan until the other day when he said he was leaving the next day. I thought, what? I better read tweets more often and keep up with blogs better...
Thank you so much for putting this all together, MM! And thank you, Ineko, for your lovely photos!
And I completely understand any snark about the SOI thing... I think we all do, to be honest.
