Japanese Hip-Hop Dancers
Me and a buddy went to a Japanese hip-hop club the other day, drawn in by the flyer above. Can you guess why?
I have to say, the women in this club were throwing down some eyeball-scorchingly raunchy dance-moves. Evidently they’d seen a couple of sleazy “2 Live Cru” videos on MTV and taken them way too seriously, but I wasn’t complaining. These dance-hall divas were also doing some impressive acrobatics which resembled a jaw-dropping mixture of Flashdance and the Chinese State Circus, throwing themselves all over the room, body-popping, bouncing off walls, and waving their arses in the air. The only ladies who weren’t dancing were in wheelchairs, or hobbling around on crutches, apparently injured while attempting overly-ambitious dancefloor stunts.
Luckily I had my trusty disposable camera at hand!
*Note the crutch behind the couple dirty-dancing in the last picture!

Very ripe and juicy, Woeful! Interesting name for an event, don’t you think. I think there are some normal bars in japan, Bruce, but I never seem to go to them!

those Japanese really know how to make hip hop even better. Funny thing I saw is how they learn to dance hip hop moves, by watching cartoons!
