thanks!

[Andrez]

Hatsudai, you're a legend - I was just about the PM the same info!

To be honest, not all that much exciting at the moment in terms of the music I'm into, but I'll keep an ear to the ground - any particular preferences? Try ferreting out the smaller gigs/clubs; they rock more than the big ones.

[aroes]

thanks again

no preference in particular........i listen to hip hop, techno, reggae/dub, dubstep, jungle, rock, funk, soul, the carpenters

this`ll be my first weekend here so i`ll go try to track some places down

BU to pubbing/clubbing solo in a foreign country

[RGLZ]

I did that; it rules..

Must go to Kabuki

[Hatsudai]

Must go to Kabuki-Cho

Fixed

[aroes]

was just looking at some reviews for bars on golden-gai

looks like the place to be

might have to get you to point me in the right direction when we do lunch shannon?

Must go to Kabuki-Cho

Fixed

I see what you did there - are those tiny laneway bars (like fit 10 people) kind of round the corner from the main drag of kabukicho?

anyways, i thought the kabuki theatre was one of the more memorable tokyo experiences I had

He he Kabuki Cho and The Kabuki are fairly bipolar experiences I suppose but both have their fair share of drama..

Ashamedly enough I haven't been to the kabuki yet (or sumo for that matter) I guess when we decide to come back to oz they will be on the list of things to do.

yer Aroes Golden Gai or Piss alley ( better than it sounds) are both good to stop into, will deffo discuss over lunch!

[Andrez]

Kabuki and sumo are a treat - I got quite smashed at the sumo as you can BYO ales, but some old guy was snoring behind me at the kabuki the one time I went there; added a sense of stereo. Golden Gai is definitely worthwhile checking out, too - old WW2 Tokyo amidst the modernity.

[JAMESSSS]

GOLDEN GAI!

BOTTLE KEEP!!

DO IT!

[aroes]

picked up a metropolis mag

spoilt for choice now....................

The Roots tonight, D-Nox & Beckers tomorow night
