Darn, there’s no more reservations for today at eggs and things
I don’t know if they will take walk ins?
From poking around the website, it looks like they do accept walk ins as some locations do not accept reservations
Oop I didnt know it needed a reservation sorry!
We can try and if not find something else. What time do you need to leave the area at again?
I need to be at Budokan on the moated island by 12:30. I can be there around 10:15-10:30 ish if that works for you. I’d need to be heading back to Jimbocho by about 11:30 though.
If you’d rather do a different day so that way there’s no need to rush, I’m fine with that too! After today, my days are wide open and unplanned other than Thursday night
That works for me! Want to do 1015?
Sure! See you then!
Okay! Ill leave my place in a few!
Aww damn yo, I love eggs and things. No way I would make it in time. Enjoy Kings 😭
I’m in Osaka today and tomorrow. Arriving in an hour. Hmu for drinks 🥃 🙏
Anyone know of a good spot to grab breakfast in Ginza or nearby?
There’s actually an Eggs and things in Ginza too
Is that like American? Looks like it from the photos except more whipped creme
Almost there
I am just around the corner, sorry, got delayed
You're fine! Waiting outside

Hey guys, just landed from Canada. Here until the 4th of September, possible the 11th, if someone wants to hangout
Whoa she finally caved
Thinking about doing some shopping in and around ikebukuro today if anyone is interested in joining? Wanted to hit multiple shops in sunshine city. Or can hit the national art center and explore near that area.
Anyone in Kyoto today?
Really feeling the pain of missing out on another epic karaoke. Glad you all had fun
I caught the plague. 😦 Didn't want to start the zombie apocalypse by infecting everyone else.
Got some nice Japanese antibiotics though. So that's a plus.
Anyone have any dinner plans tonight?
I’ve had an awful cold this past week and it started with a sore throat. May the odds be ever in your favour
going to conveyor belt sushi later tonight if anyone wants to join
What time and where? I might be interested 👍
I just landed! If I sort all my things out fast enough I would love to join
Congrats on making it here!

I've been to Kura sushi in the States and wondering if it's different here
Oh that's way better lmao
yea i had like 15 plates last time i was there 😭
Okay that's just too much lol
never too much 😋
I went to the Harajuku location today for lunch! It’s super great and very foreigner friendly! I highly recommend opening up the ipad at first, but then scanning the QR code to order on your phone!
Its been on my list since arriving to go to conveyor belt sushi so I am looking forward to it tonight 😋
Going to go ahead and head that way since it'll take me a little bit to get there 👍
Got space for one more? I'm down to come eat with yall, I'm nearby the area

Ah darn would of loved to celebrate it but only coming to osaka Friday
Last chance if someone finna meet top of mount fuji for a beer
At 2.8km altitude atm
Lol wut
That’s a rare meetup
Anyone in Tokyo want to meet up? I’ve got nothing going on until tonight, and I’m not sure what to do on my last day
Which area are you in? I'm loitering around Shinjuku until I can check in to my place
I’m currently in Yoyogi Park similarly loitering around haha
I can be over in Shinjuku is like 20ish minutes if you want to loiter with another person
I think I'm gonna hang in shimokita after going to akiba rn if anyone wants to come. I'll be going to a cat cafe there
Gathering interest for the LAST karaoke group of my trip. Sep 7th, 7PM @ Shinjuku.
The last two karaoke's were massive successes and we need to finish it proper.
So far: Rimma, Leo, Vtss, Maika (she doesn't know she's coming yet), The Dawg +2
Looking for a group of about 10 total.
Nice gig tonight if you wanna be a real Shimokitazawa person https://x.com/kamisado_band/status/1696402464516526556
Ohhh! I'm definitely gonna go! It's my last night in Tokyo after all
I hope I can show up without a reservation lol
I've been meaning to catch a live gig, I'll be there too!
me too. i'm 50% sure i'll be there
Cool thanks for getting involved
As a few of you are going, I made an easy ticket reservation button here. Tap the top one and send an email: https://smily.bio/gigsintokyo
You can get in without a reservation, but if you make one 1) it helps the organiser because they know how many people are coming 2) it helps me list more shows because they will know I sent you
What we don’t know is that Habo is a music producer and gets a cut for everyone they get in the door 🤣
I suspected as much 😂
lol well habo's plot worked for me as well
I’m not monetising the page yet 🥺
“Yet” 
I'm not monetizing karaoke or my Michelin dinners. I just like to eat expensive and sing Little Mermaid with strangers
Anybody going to the show want to eat/drink before? I was looking at Teruya or maybe Tori-soba Salt
If i make it ill def eat w you guys. Torisoba pref’d since im coming from shibuya
Doors open at... 7? So meet somewhere in shimokita at like... 5:30?
Can I join? I’ve got no plans for later
Of course
Sweet, popped over an email
I wasn’t planning to go because I’m juggling a lot, but now it’s such a party I’ll join for the first couple of acts at least
Perfect
I’m just wandering around omotesando atm, will head back to Shinjuku then head to shimokita for 5:30~ish
hey what show are you referring to
@opal shoal check out habo's message à few up from mine
I got my reservation, I'll be there, prob won't make it to pre-drinks. Unless that was for @shy meteor , then yeah see above
Sure
I was gonna eat here in Shinjuku but I can hold off
whoops idk why I tagged you
I will be coming straight from work so no pre-drinks for me
Who in Kyoto today ?
what genre? isa bit out of the way but id be interested
ah ill skip
two of the bands from the last show u suggested were rlly good
illiomote and i think the other was uh hum
Oh yeah I love illiomote. Haven’t caught um-hum yet but their released stuff is great
Thank you again for checking it out

and Otoboke Beaver of course https://x.com/otobokebeaver/status/1696048315069243780?s=46&t=gL0mRAyITdaCl2XQLLTRmA
Yay see you there
You know what to do https://smily.bio/gigsintokyo
yea otoboke is the only one ive listened to before. that secret show sounds cool thanks for the headsup 🙂
Not sure if I'll make it for the ore-show dinner but I'll see y'all at the venue
Interested too! Will use the link you've been posting to reserve.
I also won’t make the pres so I’ll see you all there
Who’s gonna be around earlier? I’m in Shinjuku still atm but gonna get ready to head out now
same, in Shinjuku but walking towards subway station now
I’m heading for okubo to get the train atm
Just got to my hotel and will head out and explore in a bit
I know someone mentioned it, but something seems to be going around. I’ve been noticing more and more of the staff and customers at the hotel I’m in coughing
Yep lol
Mine wasn't so bad just a soar throat
And it only really felt bad when I woke up
Its in the states too. Wastewater analysis in SF showing a spike in covid
In Shimokitazawa, was there anywhere you were trying to meet?
Oh boy, you mean if I go get tested I could be forced to remain in Japan? 
I’m getting off the train at Higashi kitazawa
Wait nvm I can get off at the actual station, I can get you anywhere dude
ight I'm headed to Teruya
Actually you want to get curry? Haven't had that yet and looks like there's a place next door
I’m happy with anything
What do you look like
Wearing all black, circle glasses
I think I’m outside?
I'll be there as well
You'll pay/order outside on the board
I dont think so. Covid’s been downgraded to a cat 5 infectious disease in may, so the earlier rules where covid centers report you to the gvt are no longer in effect
Who’s meeting before, anyone? Or will we meet at doors etc
Barely on the yamanote line rn
I’ll be there a bit before 7:30
I'll be there in 10ish
Just left the station
Will be at the venue in 2 mins
Should also be there in 4
I can’t find the place
Under the bottle shop with the pink signs
It's a set of stairs going down
I had to leave early because I had promised to meet a friend but thank you so much to everyone who showed up
My nearby food recs
Thank you !
And nice to meet you
these nigerian guys in shinjuku are so annoying
but you just have to tell them you're looking for sex, as long as it's with them
they won't bother you again
I did hear about that, why are there so many Nigerian scammers in Japan?
Well... My flight out just got delayed to 8:50pm..
Debating whether or not to reschedule my flight for tomorrow
Did you have any checked bags? Getting them out may be a bit of a hassle if they’ve gone through already.
Oh no lol. Still at my hotel
Ohhh okay! That makes things easier then haha. Well if it’s a later flight, it should be easier to sleep on
Likely bona fide occupational racism 😂
That’s insane! You’d think they’d crack down on it haha
Not Nigerian scammers per se. They just work for the Yakuza
@torpid flax was the first band last night called Washifura?
Yep!
Sick
With a capital F technically https://open.spotify.com/artist/43RZrXG2BSpm3FLraUF6dy?si=MtOfEoInTFGghjSZ_yCOjw
Anything cool or epic or awesome going on tonight?
Secret gig at Shimokitazawa THREE starting at midnight
I'm not allowed to say more than that

Music doesn't really do it for me but if ppl are chilling before/after I'm down.
I was also thinking I would be in Shibuya
Perhaps going to VENT
All the Y2K style people I know are going to this event at Otsuka Bar Chitei

What’s going on tonight aside from the above?
idk but I am in Shibuya so if anybody wants to meet up here for dinner/drinks/whatever I'm down
Are you still in Shibuya? I am here now wandering around
I was kinda thinking of heading to this but I kinda wanna go to womb or vent in Shibuya later
I’m currently still in my airbnb in Shinjuku, took a nap
Where you at?
Well the Otsuka one is on now and ends at 11 so you could do that then Shibuya if you have the stamina
Just sharing it as something unique
Venue is here btw https://goo.gl/maps/rovZH12AhV1cdX3y5
It’s like 20mins from Otsuka to shibuya right
Not too far
36mins, not too bad
I just showered, need to change clothes then I’ll head out and decide
Close to the big big crossing, wbu
Okay I’ll meet you there at the Shibuya station exit
What do you look like? Shirt?
Gonna head to Otsuka then Shibuya after @old acorn you wanna hit up womb or vent tonight ?
@hushed birch you keen for going to a club?
Full black, really short hair, have vans on
What time? I think Im down
Okay be there in like 2 mins
Probably like 11:30-00:00
Who in Osaka
Doesn’t help right now but I’ll be there in 3 days
Like Monday or Tuesday
Monday
Ah nice, gonna still be there by then
@torpid flax do you also know the Osaka music scene heheh
Not that well but all the best acts play Socore Factory
and apparently Namba Bears is 'the most punk venue in Japan'
Hah alright cool
So did you climb it? You’re still alive?
You're going to offend the Americans
Haha
It’s certainly… different? It’s very low-key and chill atm
Yup I did my duder
Was skeptical about hyperpop at the beginning but not gonna lie it can be a bop
@/huniedev and you would of hated it because it was past boomer hours, all nighter to see the sunrise heheh
Wow just finished wandering that area, I forgot to check the thread. Anyone up for exploring tmr, I'm thinking of starting early at Meiji shrine, shinjuku, Shibuya and harajuku area. Super new here so just following premade itenararies.
@torpid flax speechless, first act wasn’t my thing but the whole event was big vibes
Incredible talent
So awesome to hear thanks for checking it out
Siiiick
Real. I would have, haha.
You going to anywhere outside tokyo in the next week or nah
holy... where is that?
Highest point in Japan heheh
Nah just sticking to Tokyo
thats sick
the other day i climbed the tallest mountain in hokkaido, which is much lower at 2292 meters
and that was the view
to be fair it had been that way throughout the climb
its a relatively easy climb, but yeah the intense fog was an experience 😅
Really windy tho(more than usual)
how tough of a hike was it?
Harder than I thought for sure, the terrain is rough ranging from really rocky and steep to slippery gravel on the way down. Felt like it was never ending. Think it's more of a mental battle though
You gotta also be lucky with altitude sickness, only got it at the very peak and it might of also been just lack of sleep
I hit a bit of sickness at 8th but just staying 20 mins at each rest helped a ton! Body still hurts tho
When did you do it? And yeah I did rest a bit, did decide to skip some rest towards the end to make the sunrise tho which was a bit risky
Start of the week but I haven’t been to the gym/done cardio in about a year so I’m still feeling it
Was a horrible idea to do it in one night with no training
thats incredible
When did you start the hike in order to catch the sun? I'm doing the hike tomorrow
I started at 10:10 from the 5th station. Took breaks at most stations, one I ate cup noodles but not that many breaks out of them. I hit a massive traffic jam at the top where it was painfully slow(since it was close to sunrise). I did still make it but with maybe 10-15 mins to spare
So if you want to be safe maybe 9:30 depending on fitness level
That day it was more windy than usual and even as a Canadian the very top was pretty cold, rest was fine for me. Had a big windbreaker and a hoodie. Gloves are a must rocks can be sharp. Didn't do it with walking sticks but think I recommend them especially for the descent
I do have a wind jacket, a dawn jacket and merino gloves with me, I came prepared haha, when you reached the top was it still pitch black or sun was already creeping?
Sun was creeping for sure
Gotcha, thank you
so it was only a 45 min hike/
Wait what haha
how long did it take you?
Probably because you mentioned 9:30 and 10:10, which could be read as early mornin hours with am/pm paired with em 
Cool noted
My top want-to-go https://goo.gl/maps/onmuEzCoUxfm7ndJ8
Why that one specifically haha
Also @torpid flax sorry to ask again what was the live music places you recommended (Osaka)
You mean tickets on the door? Depends on the event
Yea right
If it’s not sold out then typically yes you can get tickets on the door. But it’s always worth reserving because then you know for sure you can enter, and you usually get ¥500 off
Yea if I can find the link heheh alright thx
Also if someone has another suggestion than drunken climb hit me up haha, we there now and it's cool but might be looking for another vibe
Update one what happened last night we just went bar to bar and finally ended up at a private karaoke called joysound, that karaoke place was sooo good!
Joysound is the name of one of the major karaoke systems, it's not a bar
Anybody want to meetup for lunch? Am in Ginza at the monent
Hi Leo, hope you had a wonderful time in Japan! Quick question if you don't mind, were you able to try Kotaro? If yes, with or without a reservation? What'd you think? Thanks!
I wasn't able to. Sorry I'm not much of help there
