Japan!!!

Hey!

I have so many images so I'll keep the narrative relatively short! Right when we got there the crew took care of us immediately!! They were so rad! Arigato Goziamas nihonjin!!



Gotta say thanks to my sponsors too Fender Guitars and Krank Amps!! Here's Mitzuru hookin' it up for the first show!



The crowds were sick!! They were very quiet and respectful between songs yet tore it up when we played!





Can you spot the American?



I learned some key phrases in Japanese (Nihongo) SAWAGE!!! (Sa Wa Gay) Make some noise!!!





I found some funny misspellings and items that were lost in translation!







And then there were the cities!



The next three photos can be seen in the Lost and Translation movie...







The cities continued... karaoke is huge there. This has stories and stories of karaoke.













We were family with In and Out Records and Freygolo. Freygolo is a band from France...



Here is Sister... she's 30!!! damn young lookin' no? She's showing us a pneumonic device, "Don't touch my moustache" Doiatashimashte (Thanks in Nihongo)

Here's Bry getting in trouble from Machi-san. He learned a lot of bad words!



Machi-san was our translator and friend!



Yuko "Sister" had yet to figure us out!



Here's us in transit to Osaka!







Hangin' in the hotel lobby...





Food, food and more food...

You can see Hero on the left. He's hella cool. We spoke a mixture of German, French, English, Spanish and Japanese together. He's a fellow linguist.
