Fun For Everyone

November 26, 2007

Time for another dispatch from the Land of the Rising Blood-Alcohol Level. First off, look at this flyer I found for a party in Tokyo which is especially for idiots. Looks fun! I would have felt at home there but, idiot that I am, I entirely forgot about it until about five minutes ago.

How nice that someone thought to throw a party just for morons. I wonder if all the PE teachers could make it.

This party goes to show that in Tokyo everyone is looked after. Indeed, no matter who you are, there’s a place for you to party on down. For instance, there’s a pub in Shinjuku just for people called Keith.

…and there’s another one just for people with the name Harrison.

If your name is Keith Harrison you’re particularly well catered for.

There’s even a bar in Roppongi for private detectives. Gumshoes can drink at “Detective Bar Answer” and chat to fellow private dicks, and potential clients can come there to secure their services in a casual setting. The bar staff are, themselves, moonlighting detectives, and they decorate the walls of the bar with investigation reports and surveillance photos. They even have novelty cocktails and snacks with names like “Love-Hate Relationship” and “Capricious Nuts.”

I’d imagine Detective Bar Answer is a good place to pick up women, because it’s full of jealous housewives keen on cuckolding their philandering hubbies. But, if that is your intention, Roppongi has no end of sleazy establishments. Also in Roppongi is an S&M-themed bar called “Fetish Bar Mistress” with assorted Mistresses and slaves in attendance to serve you (or vice-versa.)

So, no matter what kind of weird shit you’re into, you’ll find somewhere to go in Tokyo.


Bikinis and Beer

November 14, 2007

In keeping with the boozy theme of this blog, here are some clips from a Japanese TV show, in which someone with the most irritating voice known to mankind ranks the top 10 Japanese beers.
Featuring alongside the ice-cold glasses of foaming lager are some highly attractive, nubile young ladies in bikinis. Cheers to that! Hey, who am I to interfere with another country’s culture and traditions?



Design Festa

November 9, 2007

It’s time for another celebratory feast of weirdos! On the weekend of November 17th and 18th, Design Festa returns. Twice a year, Tokyo Big Site in Odaiba opens it’s doors to amateur artists, designers and musicians, who use the vast venue to dazzle the world with their talents (or lack thereof.)
Design Festa website.
It’s fun to go along and marvel at the biggest gathering of eccentric arty-farties in Tokyo. For a taster, look below at some snaps I took at previous events.


Kawasaki Halloween Parade Pics 2007

November 1, 2007

Here are some snaps of last Sunday’s Halloween Parade in Kawasaki city, courtesy of my mate Frank. It’s an annual event which attracts all manner of marauding misfits and weirdos. The prosthetic make-up and costumes on some of the paraders were so impressive, they looked like they’d been given a makeover by Stan Winston. I also went to the “70s and 80s Dancing Party” in Kawasaki, which involved Darth Vader para-para dancing to Boogie Wonderland by Earth Wind and Fire, which was quite a spectacle.
