Ramblings on Various Japanese Happenings pt.1

So I'm gonna use this time to do what I had planned to do during my stay in Japan, which was comment on it. You know, kinda like that TokyoCooney, JidouJidou stuff, except in written form. To begin though I must say that in written form, this will be very basic because it's hard to explain the crap that I've seen. It would be easier to get the gist if you've been to Japan or you were hanging with me when I was there, or if I had video. I didn't take much video and the stuff I took didn't reflect the craziness that I experienced, so expect this in parts and me trying my hardest to explain.

Boogie Nights:
Well I typically find that most people deal with absolute extremes of Japanese culture, such as the echi shit and the weird things that they eat. I thought I'd actually start off with something that we have in common which is a nightlife. The pic above is of a club known as The Commune in Hiroshima. As one can tell the place is small, my back is against one wall, and seeing as you can see the other wall in the picture, that gives you an idea of how semai(narrow) the place is. The door back there leads to the entrance which is an elevator, you could only reach the place via an elevator. But no kidding, the place was one of the rawest places I'd ever been in all of Japan, now granted I'd only been to Hiroshima, Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya, but trust me, the place was hot. It was a Hip-Hop club and everyone there was deep into the culture. But to bring a little of the ridiculousness that is Japanese culture into my story, the two black men pictured here, myself and my friend Manny, were the only two black people there. Manny somehow got under the radar, me on the other hand was treated like celebrity up in that place. Mostly because to them I looked like Biggie Smalls(who they know is dead so they didn't think I WAS him, just that I resembled him, which I don't think I do) So I was approached by like everyone in the place, DJ, Bartender, random people it was crazy, but I was def getting drunk so it was all fun. And I've had many experiences like that in the Nagoya clubs. Japan club Nightlife as far as I've seen is very much like our own, save the dance clubs where they para-para and shit like that.
