There really is a Lime bar in Ginza!

I'm working on my current fic, where Miyasaka decides to go off to a nightclub alone after Katou and Onozuka abandon him in favor of their lovers. They had previously been at Lime, which the manga says is located in Ginza, so I was just doing a quick web search on "Ginza" to get ideas, and I found this entry for Lime:

Lime is a popular "aquarium" lounge bar. If you come as a couple and are lucky enough, you might be seated in front of the aquarium, which is 20m long and houses 2,000 tropical fish. If you come with friends, you'll probably be seated in the Southeast Asian-themed area of the bar. In either case, you'd better book ahead.

Pretty cool, huh? I guess that the Lime in Haru probably refers to this club. We haven't seen the aquarium, but since Katou and co. seem to be seated in a private room (in Book 13), it probably wouldn't be visible from where they're sitting.

Also, in case you didn't see the entry on my personal journal, there is a sushi restaurant called Katsuya in Brentwood in Los Angeles.

Yes! Hurry! Hurry! I am so in need of a Haru fix these days.

Lime... I think I need to go back and look at the interieur... the info you found is certainly interesting. I think they meet on Lime more than once, so it might be possible to find indications whether this is what Sensei meant.

They're all at a bar together when we first meet O&M in Book 8, in the second chapter, "Unlocked Cellar." But I think it might be a different bar, since it looks more like a place that specializes in wine. There's a sign visible in the opening panel that says "Tastevin," but I wasn't sure if that was the name of the bar, or the name of a brand of liquor they serve.

Good question... sometimes the use of non-Japanese is confusing as the Japanese doesn't seem to regard foreign languages as something that needs to be taken seriously in any way - or mean anything, for that matter. I should go look, but I've been reading 10+11 to track -chan, -kun and -sans.

Btw, you mentioned needing a Haru fix? I don't want to seem pushy, but I was wondering if you saw the last K/O fic I posted, The Prince vs. the Groupie? If you've been too busy to read it, or have read it but haven't had time to comment, that's totally cool, of course. But it sounded like you had run out of Haru fic to read, and I know that IJ had some problems with email notifications recently, so I just thought I'd mention it in case you missed it.

And I'm hard at work on the new fic! ^_^

But I did read - and comment. At least I hope I commented, because I wrote a lengthy comment to it. I wonder if LJ ate it? *wails*

Good! Work harder!!! *kisses G*

I hate to tell you this, but I never got your comment so maybe LJ did eat it. Sorry!
