[thorny path]

Guess I’ll get food then. It’s been 10 hours since I ate

[worthy lynx]

Last shinkansen leaves in 2 mins, I'm sure you could make it

[thorny path]

Hah no way

I got music shows for the next 3 days in Tokyo

No way I’m ditching them

[worthy lynx]

Surely you can catch one of the 30+ trains back tomorrow

[thorny path]

Haha I’m good

[worthy lynx]

Out of curiosity I checked and looks like the last train out is at 2121, which honestly is impressive

[lucid magnet]

is anyone out in shinjuku now?

[glossy vortex]

We’re about to get there in about 20 minutes

[small nova]

We’re in shinjuku rn

Where are you?

[thorny path]

Sorry, left it at like 9 PM

No one said anything, so I didn't even know people were out in Tokyo

[lucid magnet]

Hellooooo same to yall

[potent torrent]

@tender yew I left for Kyoto today. Wasn't going to go until tomorrow but I think I've had enough of that capsule bed situation in Nagano. 😅

[worthy lynx]

Eyyo lol I'm probably gonna drive to nagano today, still raining

[tender yew]

Fair, just finished seeing the snow monkeys, they were awesome

[lavish fern]

Does anyone want this USJ ticket

Pls

[potent torrent]

So awesome! Glad that you went! How muddy did you get though? 😆

[tender yew]

Lol quite muddy, didn't pack boots or anything so just went in normal running shoes

[potent torrent]

Yep, that was my mistake too. I don't know if you saw that I was trying to warn you about that yesterday. Ah well. So worth it anyways.

[tender yew]

Yeah I saw but was already here so just figured whatever

Totally worth it anyway yeah

[potent torrent]

Think it might be my top experience here so far.

Headed to Kyoto today. Staying at the APA Gion. Anyone in Kyoto that wants to meet up for dinner and wandering around tonight?

[tender yew]

Yeah agreed

[thorny path]

If you are in Tokyo

[analog iris]

Hello anyone here in shinjuku?

Kinda shy to get some food on a restaurant

[knotty crest]

Go to a touristy restaurant

As long as you're not in Kabukicho you can probably find a decentish restaurant with an English menu (or an ordering system where you don't have to talk to anyone)

[analog iris]

I am in Kabuchiko 🥲

Okay I’ll try to find one

[knotty crest]

Well, you can find alright stuff in Kabukicho. Just easier to get "ripped" off.

[analog iris]

Where can i buy gloves?

[knotty crest]

See that big store with the penguin?

[ornate olive]

Just ask the Nigerian guys where to go

[knotty crest]

They sell EVERYTHING there.

[analog iris]

Oh donquiote

[knotty crest]

Ye

[analog iris]

Okayy thanks!!

[knotty crest]

Daiso is another good option

[analog iris]

Aw hell nah

[ornate olive]

😂😂

[knotty crest]

if you see a Daiso duck in there, I got some cat gloves from Daiso and they're alright.

[lavish fern]

How long does street food stay open in dotonbori

[analog iris]

Them be scamming also in the philippines

[analog iris]

Okay cool!! Thank u so much

[knotty crest]

Usually till about 10:30PM. I think some stuff is open all night though.

[lavish fern]

Ok I’ll try to go back out by 6-7

[analog iris]

Okayyy imma go chrck it out

[lavish fern]

Ty ijerbagi

[knotty crest]

Great Ramen War is an alright place in Shinjuku but it's West Shinjuku and not Kabuki.

[potent torrent]

Anyone here in Kyoto right now?

[knotty crest]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/CioXYLrVVM3AoGm79?g_st=com.hammerandchisel.discord.Share

[low mauve]

West side of the station past the famous Yodobashi Camera is much better for food

[analog iris]

Okay let me search that

[potent torrent]

Is that also where you are staying or just eating currently?

[knotty crest]

I am not in Kyoto at all; however I assume you wanted a recommendation for a place to visit.

[potent torrent]

Oh ! 😁 well yes but also looking for friends to hang out with while I am here.

[knotty crest]

Ah, well, in Kyoto that may be a little difficult.

[tardy panther]

I am in Nagoya, sorry

[stoic horizon]

I’ll be in Kyoto from Friday to Sunday if that helps!

[thorny path]

@analog iris you still looking for food

[lavish fern]

Gonna drag myself to dotonbori to find food

[thorny path]

Want my recommendation?

You like okonomiyaki?

[lavish fern]

What is that again

Is that the omelette

And yeah send them over

Nope it’s not it’s like a fancy pancake ok I was thinking of something else

[thorny path]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/pNYPj5j9wvZB81kW7?g_st=ic

Go have fun

They have English menus

[lavish fern]

Hard to have fun when I’m halfway dying now

Ooooo

[analog iris]

Oh hi mr T i found ramen for 800yen

I walked around shinjuku

[thorny path]

Was it good?

[analog iris]

It was fantastic! Pork i think

I asked the guy if i can take photo

He said yes

[thorny path]

Nice!

[analog iris]

Maybe tomorrow let me check your suggestion! Hehe

[tulip hull]

Got a name for the place?

[lavish fern]

Waiting at the spot

T reccs on the okonomiyaki?

Prob gonna go with beef

[analog iris]

Oh shoot i am sorry no

It was all written in nihonggo

And there was machine thats why

[steady zealot]

Pork is traditional

[lavish fern]

Ahh ok

Good thing im not touching pork again after this trip

😶

[steady zealot]

I mean I'm sure beef is also delicious

[lavish fern]

For sure but pork has been tasty

And I want to enjoy eating it

[knotty crest]

Hmm. I don't recognize the bowl design and unfortunately the ankeito doesn't list the franchise name.

Just store locations

[lavish fern]

@thorny path good pick

[stoic horizon]

I’m at bar Gig’l in Osaka again tonight with James if anyone wants to stop by

[rotund mortar]

I’m down for drinks

If you don’t mind

[thorny path]

Always happy to help

[timid breach]

Miss u guys

[civic brook]

Do you know where to travel is the wisest choice? I need a suggestion, thank you.

[timid breach]

First time in japan? Golden route usually works for most people

[civic brook]

Yes, I will go to Japan in May, but I have no experience. This is my first trip to Japan.

[timid breach]

Your frequent traveler role deceived me haha

I’d go to #planning-and-itineraries

[low mauve]

You need to change your role to First Time id:customize

[civic brook]

Sorry, I don't know how to change it. I'm not familiar with the program. Can you tell me?

[civic brook]

I mean Europe, not Asia, haha, my dear friend.

[timid breach]

Click the link and look at Customize

[low mauve]

Click that blue link, scroll down, choose First Time Traveller

Easy

[lucid dagger]

planning a day trip to Kandatsu Snow Resort from tokyo. anyone want to tag along? thinking friday or saturday.

[civic brook]

I finished

This definition only stipulates a trip to Japan, right?

Because I am in many countries in Europe.😆

[knotty crest]

Ye

Red = Never been to Japan; Yellow = Been at least once/know a little

[knotty crest]

Orange means you're a Japan Pro (dark orange like Habo means you're )

[civic brook]

So almost all my friends here are from Japan?

[low mauve]

People with orange names like @knotty crest are currently travelling Japan.
People with brown names like me live in Japan

[civic brook]

I see. Your names are really different. I didn't pay attention to them before.

I really find that people here are very kind and like to help others, just like a warm big family, haha.😆

[stoic horizon]

Yeah feel free!!

I’m on the third floor

[timid breach]

Take a shot for me

[stoic horizon]

Gotchu boo

After this Long Island iced tea though 😂

[potent torrent]

Send me a DM. I'll still be here Friday 🙂

[rotund mortar]

Soon will be there unless I stop for food lol

[timid breach]

Cmon, chase the shot with the LIIT 🤪

[potent torrent]

Name of the place? That looks very good!

[analog iris]

I am sorry Sarah I didn’t saw the name because it was written in nihonggo 🥲

[civic brook]

family. Can you customize a plan for my half-month trip?

[copper fjord]

I’m throwin out a bat signal for food and drinks in Shinjuku (not out too late tho)

Currently just two of us

[rotund mortar]

Which one are you ?

[low mauve]

Post your current itinerary in #planning-and-itineraries

[dark sky]

hello all~ will be touching down in narita from the bay area today around 14:30. anyone have any plans for dinner this evening?! im staying near asakusa my first two nights would be down to break bread over a meal~

[shut mist]

Incorrect he meant to say late* near the Golden gai if anyone wants to join

[torpid mulch]

Why not???

[lavish fern]

Gonna be going on a diet / exercise plan when I get back to the states

[tiny bridge]

Boarding from San Francisco in 2 hours. See you soon Tokyo

[civic brook]

Do you have any friends in France or Italy?

[fringe dagger]

Hello all! Anyone wanna meet up tomorrow for some drinks at an Izakaya or bar? Solo traveler who is nervous to go alone because of her limited Japanese haha. Also would LOVE to do karaoke with some people too.

[dark sky]

Am not a heavy drinker at all but definitely down to share a meal or a couple of drinks tomorrow night. Also open to karaoke if we can get a group and … more than just a couple of drinks in me ha.

[fringe dagger]

Hopefully some people are interested in doing karaoke. Do you think I should make a post on here to see if people wanna join for karaoke? ;3;

[gritty forum]

Hi All, 👋 I'll be in tokyo (Shinjuku) from Feb 26th till March 4th before moving onto Hakone for a day to experience an onsen then Osaka for afew nights from 6th if anyone wants to meet up for a coffee, alcoholic drink or explore. Return flight isn't until the 11th and my itinerary is pretty flexible so open to going with the flow. and exploring other cities.

(32M - England)

[dark sky]

I think that’d be a great idea to get the word out? We can also setup a group dinner/outing for tomorrow evening and that can maybe organically lead to karaoke ha.

[fringe dagger]

Made a post! We shall see :3 if not. I’m still down to meet up for a drink or two or dinner. I’m not much of a drinker either unless socially induced haha.

[rotund cradle]

Do you mean tomorrow tomorrow, or today?

[fringe dagger]

2/23 but I am also free today 2/22 too! I made a post about 2/23 too!

[magic hazel]

[magic hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/the-avengers-marvel-robert-downey-jr-tony-stark-iron-man-gif-17148104

[magic hazel]

[fringe dagger]

Yay!!!! Are you free tonight?

[spark cypress]

yess

[fringe dagger]

Yessssss!!! @magic hazel @dark sky @spark cypress how’s a group of 4 for karaoke? @grand jewel I know your show is at 6pm so idk if karaoke is doable for you but keeping you in the loop.

[spark cypress]

sounds great to me!

[magic hazel]

@fringe dagger down for it

What time do you guys wanna meet up?

I’m honestly free the entire day

In harajuku rn visiting a random steak restaurant but after I’m free for the day

If anyone wants to do anything here

[fair monolith]

Same here!

[thorny path]

Okay

I’m going to start my day soon

Doing afternoon tea, lunch, music show, and a museum

If anyone would like to join with me who is in Tokyo

You’re free to come

[fringe dagger]

Maybe 5pm? We could meet for food and then move to karaoke. Or just jump straight into karaoke. I was gonna do some shopping before hand to find more clothes so I should be good and ready by 5pm. @spark cypress @ u as well for time and plan input

[spark cypress]

I’m also free all day. Heading out soon but idk where I’m gonna go. I’m in Shinjuku if anyone wants to meet up. As for karaoke 5pm works great for me:)

[thorny path]

You can join me if you’d like

But I’m just hitting up lesser known museums

1. Tobacco & Salt Museum
2. Japanese Sword Museum
3. Sumida Hokusai

[spark cypress]

When r u planning on going to the first one?

[thorny path]

Then probably afternoon tea or late lunch

In an hour probably

[spark cypress]

I still need to figure out how the train ticket thing works here

like suica

[thorny path]

It’ll probably take you an hour to get there

Plus it’s a museum

So even if you get there before I do

You can still go in and look at it

And I can simply join you if you get there first

I will probably do two museums

[spark cypress]

well it’s gonna take longer cause i need to figure suica out😭no clue how long that’s gonna take

[thorny path]

And get lunch or afternoon tea

[spark cypress]

thats true

[rotund cradle]

add it to your apple wallet, simple.

[thorny path]

After which I’ll head to shibuya for a music show

[grand jewel]

thanks for keeping me in the loop! I'll see if I have energy after the show but I'll keep an eye out here for where/when yall are heading for karaoke

[thorny path]

My music show is at 6 pm

[grand jewel]

Sounds like there's three of us ^ including @fair monolith

[thorny path]

@spark cypress but like I said

I’ll probably be there at 1:15

If you can make it, cool

[fringe dagger]

Yeah! If you have an iPhone, add it to your Apple wallet. I was freaked out too at first before I got here.

[thorny path]

If not, that’s cool too

[neon scroll]

I'll be there tooooo

[grand jewel]

four!

[thorny path]

Anyone else is welcome to join as well

[magic hazel]

OOO I got lucky

I picked up a Pasmo 30 day one at Narita yday

Def worth it instead of trying to figure it out later

[fair monolith]

Yay im excited! I’ll see you guys there

[thorny path]

@spark cypress You figure out SUICA?

[spark cypress]

nope still havent

omw to shinjuku station to try to get one there

[thorny path]

kk

[ornate olive]

@spark cypress just add it to your phone no need to get a physical card

[low mauve]

*only on iPhone
*not possible to top up digitally with many (most?) foreign cards

[pale vapor]

I have had limited success with Visa credit cards (I believe this is a known issue). Can recommend the Apple Card if youre an iPhone user (2% cash back too)

[thorny path]

It sometimes works

but if you fail too many times

They can shut down your card

because it comes off as a fraud alert

because its a bunch of random transactions

I've had to literally call chase 8 times to fix my CSP

because I kept trying to reload my SUICA

[pale vapor]

I eeked out one top up from a Chase card

No mas

[ornate olive]

Ah, yeah iPhone and Amex no issues at all

[thorny path]

Oh I got a bunch through

Then it just stopped working

[vernal flare]

Damn i would love to go karaoke? Is the plan today only?

[thorny path]

@spark cypress hope you got your suica

[spark cypress]

i just got it now, it was quite a pain in the ass but all good💀

don’t think i’m gonna make it to the museums today, but we might see each other at karaoke tonight:)

[pale vapor]

@thorny path Mind if I join you at Tobacco and Salt or Sword?

[fringe dagger]

In case anyone wants to join for karaoke later today, hmu! I made a group chat for it to talk plans and can add you.

[thorny path]

Sure

When will you arrive?

[pale vapor]

Wya now?

[thorny path]

I’m at a cafe nearby enjoying afternoon tea

You are welcome to join me

[thorny path]

Nope no karaoke for me

Music show for me tonight. Will be there

[pale vapor]

Planning to go to Loft tn

[thorny path]

I may only do the tobacco and salt

And then head over to shibuya

Show starts at 6

[pale vapor]

Whats the show

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

https://tenor.com/view/rage-emoji-rage-gif-2922587064166244739

More the merrier!

[lavish fern]

Going to Shibuya then shinjuku

NOT ME PASSING ANOTHER UDON SPOT

😭😭😭

Imma go in…

I think I had udon 6x since I been in Japan

I prefer that as a quick meal if it’s nothing special I want right away

[neon scroll]

Wait have u been to udon maruka

They r good

https://maps.app.goo.gl/a9shdmjYZ9H8GE598?g_st=ic

[lavish fern]

You tell me this now after I just ate my udon

This looks so good

😭😭😭

[neon scroll]

Tomorrow is another day 👀

[lavish fern]

Risky

I have to literally go before my flight

I’ll make the effort

Maybe I can go to once place in the morning and go to the other around 1-2pm

Unless

I go for round 2

[weary dune]

always round 2 😄 I ate like 4 meals the second day we were here lol

[weary dune]

I'm going to that and posted it earlier, see you there??

[winter umbra]

I’m kinda new to this discord. Just wanted to say I’ll be in Osaka running the marathon this Sunday. I’m traveling solo, so if anyone wants to meetup for a drink, hit me up! (40M)

[lavish fern]

I been eating 4-5 meals a day

But I’ve walked the most the last two weeks than I’ve done in months

😭😭

Heading back to my hotel to rest my feet

[weary dune]

I feel you. My first trip here we walked 10 miles a day for 10 days. Ridiculous

[lavish fern]

Yeah

[weary dune]

I also feel like the portion sizes allow for eating 4-5 times a day here

[lavish fern]

FR

[weary dune]

where as back in Texas I'm pounding 2 meals a day max

[lavish fern]

or I’m just an American

[ornate olive]

I wish. Managed to catch the flu

[weary dune]

I'm so sorry tomodachi

you have no idea how excited I am for that show... been a fan of Shinichi Osawa since 2006 @ornate olive

[steel yarrow]

Do you think you lose or gain wait on the many meals much walking routine?

[weary dune]

It's really based on your metabolism. I feel like I'm losing weight but my GF would not say the same tbh (asian genes unfair)

and we are walking/eating the exact same routine

[steel yarrow]

perfect. I'm gonna pretend that means I will lose weight

which is what it means

right?

[weary dune]

lolol, I'm half soooo YES

HAI, IRRASHIMASE

[worthy lynx]

I chose the America route, so I'm definitely gaining weight because driving everywhere, and the portions are stupid huge

[steel yarrow]

RIP

walking is the only hope for my weight

[weary dune]

what's nice with set lunches is they will ask you how much rice you want. so if you really wanna lose weight just skip the rice. really easy at the vending machine restaurants too

[lavish fern]

When and where is the show

[worthy lynx]

Do you need to register? Then again the earliest I can probably get there is 9 when it ends at 10?

[grand jewel]

[steel yarrow]

[proper estuary]

Is anyone at the Tokio Tokyo show?

[steel yarrow]

someone was just posting about it up higher

[low mauve]

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1210150887402512384

[lavish fern]

I’m thinking about doing something risky

But not rly

[proper estuary]

Thank you! Sorry it has been 1-200 messages since I last looked at this 😅

[lavish fern]

I’m heading to the show should take me like 30 mins from minato

[analog iris]

Hello guys how much is this yen?

Excuse my pinky finger its smol 😂

[low mauve]

5 yen

[knotty crest]

五円 - it's the only coin that doesn't have a proper roman numeral, but to answer the question it's 5.

[low mauve]

It's the good luck coin

This channel is for planning meetups, please ask in a different channel

[analog iris]

Oh i forgot sorry

Thank you guys

[lavish fern]

50

😂

[low mauve]

none of the coins have roman numerals 🤓

[timid breach]

@thorny path what was that curry place we went to in Shimo?

[sturdy compass]

anyone out in osaka tonight?

[knotty crest]

im fucking cooked it's so over for me I will never recover from not using the right term (Arabic)

[lavish fern]

You know maybe sitting for 14 hours will be what my feet need

[next saffron]

Anyone going to LOFT tonight?

https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C10eHueSwDE/

[low mauve]

thank u ❤️

Yes every reservation you do through the Gigs in Tokyo page notifies them that you found them through me

[pale vapor]

@low mauve Tokio Tokyo was fun! My first indie event. Thanks for plugging.

[low mauve]

Thanks for checking it out and sorry I couldn't be there 🥲

[proper estuary]

I agree ^

Had to leave after the second show (sadly) but it was great!

Similar vibes to the Rinne Day 2 concert

[ornate olive]

I assume you get paid to promo those shows ?

[low mauve]

Nope

[pale vapor]

whats your affiliation to gigsin tokyo?

[thorny path]

Samurai curry

[low mauve]

I run the page. I post everything

[pale vapor]

That's quite an affiliation

[shut pawn]

anyone in shinjuku tonight?

[low mauve]

I started it thinking I could get kickbacks or whatever, but 1) turns out live organisers are really stingy and 2) I've gained a lot just but sharing so much for free - I am more well-known and liked around the scene which makes my main project of making music documentaries easier

Also it's just really fun knowing I'm helping people find new experiences and independent artists fill out their venues, something that's really hard for even great acts to do consistently

and I like having more people with me there at shows I do go to

[thorny path]

@low mauve tokio Tokyo was a pretty cool venue

[grand jewel]

I'm 2 for 2 on fun new music experiences thanks to you!

[ornate olive]

I see. Sounds valid 🤙

[thorny path]

The acts were great

Pretty upscale venue

Or at least newer

[low mauve]

The video I'm editing currently (which is why I couldn't go out tonight) wouldn't have happened if the band's manager hadn't reached out first to get their show on GiT. So it's all worth it

[low mauve]

Yes very Shibuya

[vernal flare]

Has anyone tried Yakiuo ishikawa? They only allow 2 people to seat 😢

[thorny path]

You doing Saturdays show?

[low mauve]

There's 4 different ones on Saturday 😵

[thorny path]

Oh lol

[grand jewel]

oh that reminds me - sometimes I try to find one of the gigsintokyo posts and it just doesn't load, do they get removed when the guest list fills up or something?

[low mauve]

I archive the post when the event is over

[thorny path]

I got to find some shows on 2/27 and 2/28

[knotty crest]

Habo gets paid in exposure/clout

[thorny path]

And then 3/4 to 3/9

[low mauve]

so all the ones you see on the page are upcoming ones you can still go to

[low mauve]

There is music #1182853158725222420 message

[grand jewel]

hmm sometimes I can't load posts even for events that haven't happened yet .. I'll let you know next time it happens I guess

[knotty crest]

The margins as far as I can tell are hella thin, so it doesn't surprise me there's not much room for kickbacks.

[ornate olive]

I finally did check out one of the shows this trip though after seeing you post for years about them 😂

[thorny path]

@low mauve which venue pages should I check in Tokyo for shows that aren’t posted on yours?

Live haus, shimo three, and ?

[low mauve]

Basement Bar

TOKIO TOKYO as well

[thorny path]

Kk

[low mauve]

Also https://www.tokyogigguide.com/en

[thorny path]

Trying to find shows for 2/27 and 2/28 and 3/4 to 3/9

[low mauve]

Think you can handle bed on 3/8?

[thorny path]

Link? That’s a midnight right?

[low mauve]

Yeah https://www.instagram.com/p/C3m4eUPSOsz/

[thorny path]

I’ll look up their music

[low mauve]

Watch the documentary for a better idea

[thorny path]

I’m staying in ikebukuro in March, so any taxi rides won’t be so crazy from shimo

[knotty crest]

Bed is worthwhile stay up all night

I would be there if not for a flight to Hiroshima booked a month~ ago

[steel yarrow]

This is where I'm at with the Syncronicity show

I booked some unrefundables

can't be there

super sad about it

[thorny path]

Will do

I have to see if bed fits my music taste

The only midnight show I would have done so far would have been amaiwana

[weary dune]

Liverpool jersey at music bar Lion if anyone came thruu

[ornate olive]

They tape ur phone camera ? 😂

[weary dune]

Absolutely lol

[thorny path]

wait really?

Why?

[ornate olive]

Have fun bro that’s def gona be a sick night 🤙

[ornate olive]

No photos/videos party tonight

[thorny path]

Oh

[weary dune]

It's packed out we're loving it

Think I saw Mr. osawa himself he comes on in 30

There's a guy rapping over industrial right now hell yeah

[thorny path]

I will unfortunately pass on Bed. Not my cup of tea.

[knotty crest]

😦

[thorny path]

I watched the documentary and their live at the rave

Not my kind of music

[weary dune]

The indoor smoking is kind of rough I'll admit 😢

[knotty crest]

arguably yes they do go kinda fucking hard

[ornate olive]

Hahaha lion is super Smokey. Your clothes gona stink tmw

[knotty crest]

ClubAsia was non-smoking for the Bedroom, not sure about ShimoKita THREE

[thorny path]

Yeah that's definitely not my kind of scene

@knotty crest Rave/clubbing scenes are like the antithesis of what I like to do.

[knotty crest]

It's okay hopefully I snag the IU tickets and you can enjoy a relaxed outing

[thorny path]

I prefer more intimacy and quieter affairs

[knotty crest]

Yeah I like music that is fast, hard and FUCKS.

[thorny path]

For me that's rock and roll

[thorny path]

Yeah I've never liked that kind of music

[knotty crest]

I don't really limit myself to any genre. Anything is good as long as it brings the energy.

[thorny path]

I get that.

That kind of energy isn't the kind I like

Its too much for me

[knotty crest]

I get it, you settle down as you age

[thorny path]

lol even in my teens and 20s I never liked that stuff

Clubbing and raves were never my scene.

I really disliked that kind of stuff.

I never enjoyed the music or the scene, its too chaotic, and its crazy for my tastes

[knotty crest]

I think Bed still has a few songs you'd like.

There was one or two more subdued songs on their setlist.

But overall I do agree that the energy in the room is probably too much.

[thorny path]

They definitely have a few songs I do like

and you're right, I like the subdued stuff more

but I've watched several lives of theirs already and I can already tell that the energy in that room is not to my liking

Tonight's show was very much my speed

More low key, subdued, and chill.

The venue was pretty packed

Felt like there were almost 100 people there

[knotty crest]

Yeah but a lot of venues are like that

I know that the one Habo conned me into (not that it was a bad show) was insanely tiny

[thorny path]

I like the tiny venues

[knotty crest]

you fit 20 people into the room and it's like a rush hour train

[thorny path]

Venue size doesn't matter to me so much as the energy in the room

I like much more quiet, intimate affairs

[ornate olive]

You tryna take a nap or go party tho

😂😂 I’m jk you do you brother ! Everyone likes different things

[knotty crest]

Everyone's got different tastes.

Like I don't particularly like Denpa/Moe idols.

[thorny path]

This is more my speed

[ornate olive]

Like the video you just sent of bed or whatever that you’re calling too hype, for me, is not hype at all 😂

[knotty crest]

It goes way harder than that

[thorny path]

lol sorry I'm compressing videos from their super large 4k versions down to 1080p versions that I can drop into discord

[ornate olive]

Hahah yeah you would hate partying with me 😂

[thorny path]

lol I hate partying in general

My "parties" are more like dinner parties

People sitting around quietly talking and enjoying some drinks and good food

That's why I don't do any of the meetups where people are doing karaoke or drinking

I don't like to do karaoke and I don't drink alcohol

[ornate olive]

It’s your life my guy!

[thorny path]

Yeah the super hype stuff I could never do

I've been in that scene before in Europe. Definitely not for me.

[ornate olive]

If I wasn’t sick rn I’d be getting bass blasted in my face at lion

[thorny path]

lol

[thorny path]

Oh I didn't know you were here

you didn't have an in Japan role

[ornate olive]

Ya I’m here.. luckily didn’t have a flight back yet so I’m gona extend my trip a little too

[knotty crest]

I didn't get any particularly juicy snippets cause I was a bit too into the show.

If I'm shooting video it's gotta be nice and stable and that can be hard to do if you're kinda letting go.

[ornate olive]

Definitely hyper

This is the kind of spots I like

[bleak panther]

that was such a cool place

[neon granite]

Woah where is this!? Huge dnb head but ain’t seen anything like this in Tokyo

[steel yarrow]

ohhh I gotta go to a show like this. I wanna feel that bassssssss

[ornate olive]

This place is called Enter.. Small little club on the 6th floor of a building. Right under Lion which also has really good nights. Really depends on the day

[weary dune]

What a great night at Lion!! Got this shitty clip of the MC over Shinichi playing since there was no phones allowed lmao. Honestly the artist prior to him was killing it too and the dance floor was less packed

Was surprised how hard Shinichi played, he's more of a producer than a DJ but the vibe was super bass heavy in a tiny club 😎

[pale vapor]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor's_Birthday

if anyone goes to his bday party u gotta tell us

visitors are able to enter the inner palace grounds and see the members of the Imperial Family, who make several public appearances on a balcony.

https://www.kunaicho.go.jp/e-event/higashigyoen02.html

@thorny path please gib Yokohama afternoon tea spots if youve got em

[timid breach]

Fuuuuck i have fun with the party/rave scene in NYC but japan parties hit different

#1182853158725222420 message

Definitely go to this too if you have time

[timid breach]

Speaking from experience in the music industry around the world New York, the grind and hustle is real but you’re doing a great job and i can tell that your efforts will payoff big time when you least expect it

[thorny path]

https://www.yokohamajapan.com/article/historic-cafes/

[pale vapor]

fabulous

[timid breach]

What was that song you wanted me to play

[thorny path]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_xMsfAelpo

@timid breach Just the song. You don't need to wear the same outfit

😛

[timid breach]

That’s an extra cost 😂

[thorny path]

So there's a price.....

[lavish fern]

If someone goes here lmk how it is Check out Kyle's Good Finds on Google Maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/XmV6SARi845iFMdE6?g_st=ic

[timid breach]

there you go

[thorny path]

Can I post this in the IU discord?

[timid breach]

Lol sure if you want

[thorny path]

That was immensely gratifying to listen to

Much appreciated

[low mauve]

I will be going to this gig at Shimokitazawa ERA today, and I can get discount tickets (¥1500+drink) for anyone who wants it
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C26URkpyL73

[thorny path]

If I wasn’t already committed to my show

I’d want to see khaki hair

sigh

Too many shows and I’m only one man

[low mauve]

Tell me about it

[grand jewel]

I'd be down, do I sign up on the regular form?

[low mauve]

For the discount just DM me a name or nickname

[grand jewel]

dmed!

[worthy lynx]

What's the door price and the cut off time for dming?

[low mauve]

Regular reserved ticket price is 3000+1 drink

Not sure about cutoff time, call it 3pm because that's probably when the acts and organisers will be in the venue starting rehearsals

[flat coyote]

I'm alone in daiba today if anyone wants to meet up

Hitting gundam fronts Tokyo later this afternoon

[cinder coral]

Hey guys today from 5pm , breakcore Dariacore hardcore uk sounds , live performances 2400yen plus 1D = 3000 yen

[dim kernel]

Hey y'all how is everyone? Im flying in to tokyo tomorrow and will be around all afternoon/evening if anyone wants to get dinner or go out (also lmk if yall have recs)

My loose plan/preference was to explore Shinjuku/Roppongi area but also open to hearing suggestions

[dim kernel]

Also lmk if anyone knows about stuff like this👀

[vernal flare]

Same here! Trying find things to do tomorrow night as well

[weary dune]

Not sure if this is on anyone's list but TOWER RECORDS SHIBUYA is closed on the 6th and 7th floor which is (Jazz, Hip Hop, Alternative, Vinyl, etc) basically all the english stuff. They will reopen on Feb 29th for that section, so we're headed to the Shinjuku location instead

[small nova]

Anyone down for karaoke tonight In Tokyo?

[low mauve]

Lots of people going to various gigs tonight, there might not be anyone left over for karaoke

I'm going here with a few other Discord peeps https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C26URkpyL73/

This one is badass https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C3XMKJGyxb3/

Also brilliant https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C3OffANSviq/

[grand jewel]

I'm at the venue now (outside on 1F) and not quite sure how the ticket system works here... Seems like we're lining up but I'm not quite understanding what the staff is saying lol

[low mauve]

When you get to the desk they will ask your name

You say it and pay the ticket price

If they can't find you on the list, say you are 'gesuto' (guest)

[grand jewel]

Ah ok, it seemed they were asking for a ticket number but I don't have any specific number

[low mauve]

or disukaunto (discount)

[grand jewel]

Thanks, will try that

All good, thank you much

damn, I'm standing just outside the live room with earplugs in and when the door opens it's SO loud

I'll be up near the front left, dark puffy jacket and gray crossbody bag

[worthy lynx]

Oof, I was gonna rough it and just show up with air pods, should I pick up ear plugs?

[grand jewel]

I would personally, these live houses have some pretty serious sound systems

I have a couple extra but ... I don't remember which I've already used lol

[tardy panther]

I did airpods, probably lost a few years of hearing. Ear plugs might be the safe way to go

[worthy lynx]

Haha, @low mauve know if they sell them at the venue?

[low mauve]

They do sell earplugs at ERA

at the front desk

First floor

I’m in, black coat and bleach blond hair

[tardy panther]

I was surprised that none of the band members were wearing in ear monitors or plugs

[grand jewel]

btw for anyone else coming - the venue is on 4f but you buy tickets down on 1f first

[worthy lynx]

I'm somewhere at the back near the bar in a white tshirt

[wraith swan]

Which one did you guys go to ?

[flat coyote]

Will be in nagoya tomorrow if anyone wants to hang

[dusty oriole]

Happy Tennou Tanjoubi everyone!! Australian 26M in Osaka tonight til the 26th for the Osaka marathon - anyone down for a drink? This like my third time in Jpn and like lived here for a few months last year 💕

can also link on ig @channeljez if that's easier

[tardy panther]

I leave nagoya tomorrow lol

[timid breach]

Lol, I met Taito from Khaki randomly at fuchi kuchi

[thorny path]

I just finished my show I’m heading back to Tokyo now

[pale vapor]

same, from yokohama

[worthy lynx]

A non zero amount of bands are wearing in ear monitors tonight

[worthy lynx]

Suffered through the first show with air pods, anytime a cymbal was hit I died a little on the inside lol

[grand jewel]

just saw that this is happening Mon, isn't this one of the groups you mentioned to me yesterday?

[thorny path]

No sadly not

The event is called periwinkle

But the group I listen are called the periwinkles

Yeah it confused me too lol

My top two favorite groups don’t have any more shows until 3/30

Both are on 3/30 lol

And my 3rd favorite doesn’t have any till May

[shell oasis]

I have a ticket to teamLab Planets on the 29th @ 11am. Would anyone like it? I cancelled my trip in November and have been moving forward the date, but only just realised you can only change it 3 times.

[low mauve]

He’s there a lot

[shut pawn]

anyone in shinjuku tonight?

[wraith swan]

Planning to head there in 10 ish

[shut pawn]

oh sweet what you plannin on doin?

[wraith swan]

Just going to grab a few drinks, wandering haha. Feel free to join

[thorny path]

@low mauve Lucie, too were great. I enjoyed their setlist.

I wanted to buy an album and get it signed, but they weren't around. I had to leave to catch my train.

[weary dune]

damn we just left 😦

[worthy lynx]

I'm grabbing a train to Shinjuku lol

[worthy lynx]

Man if you get a chance to see Mississippi khaki hair, definitely should. Taito is great, man's English is damn good, and really the rest of the guys were very wholesome lol

[shut pawn]

oh sick, im in the zino bar playing smash bros😂😂😂

[worthy lynx]

How long you gonna be there?

[tulip hull]

The where now

[worthy lynx]

And I guess more importantly, which smash bros

I'm guessing https://maps.app.goo.gl/spDdJtj8Y9ks6ga67

[tulip hull]

I'm close by might drop

[worthy lynx]

Lol I hope the other guy is there, because yeah I guess in heading that way to hopeful grab food and play smash bros

[thorny path]

Oh I know khaki is great, its just that every time they have a show, I have another show to attend.

[tulip hull]

Goin in

[thorny path]

Last time they had a show I think was literally the same day as Habo's show

so habo's show took priority

and then today was my favorite band, so they got priority

[worthy lynx]

I'm like in the vicinity searching for the building

[timid breach]

Take a shot with the crew for me

I miss my zino kabuki boys

[worthy lynx]

Damn I really do look clueless, got offered a 3k massage

[timid breach]

They’re always offering just ignore haha

[thorny path]

I taught you better than that

[weary dune]

Wait I saw that lady was the price scratched out to 2222 🤣

Or are there that many

[worthy lynx]

Dunno, just walked by as she was talking at me

Anyways I'm here at the bar in a black jacket

Which probably doesn't narrow it down at all

[tulip hull]

I'm in the bathroom line but the switch is just by the entrance

[weary dune]

I wanna know which version too!? Hope there's a Japanese prodigy there lmao

[worthy lynx]

I'm over here eating nuggets lol

[timid breach]

@shut pawn thank you 🙏🏾

[timid breach]

They have the japanese version. They also have mario kart and other fun games

I personally just love the board/card games for drinking

[thorny path]

One of the songs I recorded during the show I attended tonight. They are the Periwinkles and one of my favorite Japanese indie bands

I took some videos of Lucie, too but its much better for you guys to experience them for yourselves.

Go to the show on Saturday.

[low mauve]

or watch the video that I will release in about a week if I can get it together

[thorny path]

Nahh they should totally go tmw 😛

[low mauve]

Actually tomorrow's show has sold out

[thorny path]

and buy a couple of CDs while they are at it

[knotty crest]

wtf

[thorny path]

Whoa really?

Hot damn

[low mauve]

snooze ya looze

[knotty crest]

Small venue or are they just that good?

[thorny path]

I enjoyed them tonight.

First time I had seen them or even heard their music

Good stuff.

[low mauve]

Capacity 250 venue although that might be lower in some circumstances

[knotty crest]

That's pretty respectable to sell out.

[low mauve]

Headline act is not Lucie,Too, it's omeme tenten who have ammassed a very devoted fanbase in a very short time

[thorny path]

I really wanted to see them and lucie too

Saw my 3 favorite acts in one week.

I don't think I can top that any further while I'm here

[worthy lynx]

The bartenders at zino were cool

[bleak panther]

they are so cool, i miss them 😢

[timid breach]

Did you take a shot too

[timid breach]

They found ethan and took a shot with him and put him on their insta 😭

[worthy lynx]

I did not lol, I had orange juice

So while this isn't the last train, this is a pretty empty yamanote line

[pale vapor]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/wXKdEqjW7rs7Kdgd6?g_st=ic

Electone Open Mic at Bar Alt Speaker in Nakano tomorrow. Planning to head there casually and meet Taka-san. I assume there will be a few players but it looks to be a totally unstructed event. In any case, Takayuki is a solid player and will likely play a good many covers of popular songs.

I will be requesting Hiroshi Kubota songs and Shakatak if I get a chance 🥴☺️

[violet terrace]

I'll be going to Tokyo tomorrow with a family member but will be solo travelling from the 27th until the 5th of march! I'm a 20 year old student from the netherlands with an interest in art, otaku culture, music, nature, fashion and more. If anyone (preferably somewhat around my age) wants to meet up and do some touristy stuff together feel free to message me! :)

[flat coyote]

Taking shinkansen to nagoya today if anyone wants to hang

[lethal pagoda]

20M Student from America solo traveling tokyo today + march 2nd/3rd. Ideally would like to meet up w/ someone my age to to hang + explore, shoot me a dm if interested

[pale vapor]

Where are you planning on exploring?

[lethal pagoda]

No clue lol, travelling w/ friends from the 25th - 1st, so still figuring stuff out

was thinking of looking around streetwear places today, but honestly open to anything

[thin turret]

Anyone going to the seafood festival in yoyogi park today?

https://tokyocheapo.com/events/sakana-and-japan-festival/

[thorny path]

Damn

I’m already going to a strawberry festival

[grand jewel]

oh are you going to the Yokohama one too? I'm just heading there now

[thorny path]

Yeah I’m half way there atm

@tardy panther en route

[pine field]

Going to be in Tokyo tonight (JST). Staying at a hostel in Shinjuku, looking for anyone to eat / drink with!

In the UK I would go into pubs alone all the time, but I'm kinda scared to in Japan lol

[thin turret]

Nvm I think I’m gonna check out the Ume festival at Yushima shrine instead. It looks cute 🤔

[weary dune]

Yeah but was it Melee, Brawl or Ultimate? Obv SSBM is the best ever but idk if Japan has working GameCubes still lol

[low mauve]

Have you seen the second-hand console market here? Everything in amazing condition

[weary dune]

We might be watching football tonight at 11pm around there I'll keep you posted LAD

[weary dune]

I bet. The Japanese take great care of most things. Honestly I could die happy if I saw some OG wavedashing in Japan

[pine field]

Cool! Who's playing?

[low mauve]

Loads of really good music on tonight. Even if no one from the Discord is going, these are great places to meet people

Will do. About to board my flight to tokyo (coming in from HK) soon

[weary dune]

Diplo also playing tonight if anyone's into mainstream (not me)

Still insane the music scene here. Thanks for keeping us updated @low mauve

[thin turret]

The Cassiopeia show looks interesting. Maybe I’ll check it out if I still have energy at the end of the day

[low mauve]

It definitely will be - put a reservation in to get ¥500 off https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf0YmlzIj-1kwnvWTlYFd3p9_qsD4tRIx8wehZRaMVCn0YVmg/viewform

I'm headed into Akihabara to do some merch shopping. Anyone else doing the same?

[vernal flare]

What time? Planning to do that as well

[gritty spindle]

I'm on the jr line from nishi nippori rn

Lol though I just realized I'm on auto pilot to ikebukuro

[gritty spindle]

[pale vapor]

@low mauve Is Shimo Daisy cash-only?

[low mauve]

Daisy Bar and yes

For entry anyway. Bar might take cards

[pale vapor]

Thanks

[civic lotus]

How is it? I'm heading there in a bit

[grand jewel]

Looks pretty packed, I'm in the entrance line now around the back of the venue tent

[civic lotus]

Word. It's a holiday weekend so I guess that's not surprising

[grand jewel]

it is very very difficult to move in here

[iron thunder]

Can I ask where I can find this?
I gave my Switch to my sister last year cause I thought I'm getting the Switch 2 this year but maybe not. So I'd like to get another Switch but don't want to spend too much.

Ume festival at Yushima shrine is nice

[cosmic siren]

You’re going to one of those?

Oh daisy bar lineup looks cool

[low mauve]

I’m going to omeme tenten at Basement Bar which is sold out

[gritty spindle]

Grabbing lunch in Akihabara

[civic lotus]

I agree!

It's like being trapped in rush hour train filled with ppl eating strawberries

[grand jewel]

The back third near the exit/trash isn't as bad

I ended up hopping over to the brick building for a break from the food crowds and into the shopping crowds

[civic lotus]

Nice. I'll go towards the back

Probably should've gone during the week...

[thin turret]

Does anyone know any place to sit and relax for a few hours near daisy bar? I don’t want to go all the way back to my place

[low mauve]

Shimokitazawa has loads of cafes

Also there is a 'green path' down the southern end

The green line through here https://maps.app.goo.gl/wGhYndUVnwRQg7rf7

As well as a temple and shrine you can visit

Kabukicho*

[small nova]

I’m Shibuya rn, anyone wanna get drinks in the area ? Or in shinjuku?

[cosmic siren]

I’m in Shinjuku with no plans

Can join whatever

[vernal flare]

Same in Shinjuku getting dinner. Down to drink after

[small nova]

Ok! I’ll be heading there soon. Just finishing up dinner in Shibuya

[cosmic siren]

Cool, gonna fool around for a bit

Let me know when you’re here!

[potent torrent]

Okay. Restaurant #2 . Italian . Has a set menu with apples mains and dessert for 4500 ¥. Smells incredible in here.

Last place was supposed to be Italian. Had a drink and a very small plate of fries...like McDonald's small and gtf outta there before a headache started.

This place is going to be good! If Osaka is "Japan's Kitchen" then I have high expectations for this city.

[knotty crest]

¥4500 is 高い

[potent torrent]

Its 40.33 CAD. I'm happy

I hope.

[knotty crest]

If the food is good and the portions aren’t bad it’s probably not terrible

I just eat cheap for the most part.

[potent torrent]

Anyone have recommendations for amazing food you've tried in Osaka?

[lethal pagoda]

I’m down, should be in Shinjuku in 30ish

[potent torrent]

I eat cheap mostly too but I gotta spring for it now and then.

[small nova]

Hiroshi Kubota's student played! And hes basically cosplaying as him!

Turns out over a dozen people played and it was an absolute blast. I was so moved by everyone's hospitality.

[weary dune]

We're gonna be at a sports bar in Shinjuku if some of y'all are still drinking: SPORTS&DARTS lol

[thorny path]

Jeez you guys are out late

[weary dune]

[thorny path]

[cosmic siren]

[pine field]

Good night lads, thanks for taking us around

[cosmic siren]

Really fun night ahah me and drew just left

[flat coyote]

In nara tomorrow, if anyone wants to hang

[thorny path]

You don’t want anyone to hang out with

You just need someone to be bait you can abandon once you get swarmed by deer

[flat coyote]

True. And I also need a humanoid camera tripod to help me take photos

[thorny path]

Use children. Easier to outrun

[flat coyote]

Feed children to the deer 🦌

[ornate olive]

Any big kakigori fans in Tokyo?
