Harajuku and OUTBREAK

We had a very very crazy day yesterday.....We walked around Harajuku all day, we went through yoyogi park and saw all the bands play, the marketplace and yes we saw the elvis rockers dance haha. I gotta say those guys are the biggest bad asses in the world, I want their Tokyo Rock n Roll shirts. After that we walked around the Meiji Jingu shrine which is always a site to see. I caught a lizard which was cool, we saw lots of other wildlife as well. After a bit of that we walked around Harajuku in the shopping district and tried to find Bounty Hunter....we weren't successful but we weren't really prepared anyway. We stopped at a Shakey's pizza and got pizza that had marshmellows on it, only in Japan. We went back to the hotel for an hour or so to rest up for the Outbreak show. Outbreak is one of my favorite hardcore bands and I was sooo stoked to find out they were playing in Tokyo while I was here. We finished off what was left of our bottle of JD and headed to the show. When we got there we saw a couple of Japanese hxc bands that fucking ruled one of which was No Choice in this Matter. Very good live so check them out if you haven't heard of them. The venue was very very cool and very small, it was hot and smokey which I just couldn't take. When moshing for OB I just couldn't breath! There is something the USA needs to learn from Japanese hardcore and that is sound tech, this was one of the best sounding shows I have ever been to. But the Japanese need to learn a thing or two from American HC and that is MOVE THE FUCK AROUND, it's a hardcore show don't just stand there. I accidentally elbowed a guy really really hard in the face during Outbreak. I felt really bad, I hope he is chill now, I wanted to apologize but he ran out of the venue with an ice pack on his right after they ended. Sorry about that man. I cut my hands somehow during the show too, shit. After the show we walked back towards the hotel and found a great liquor store I had never noticed before, you can buy crown royal for less then $16!!!! We went to grab some kebab's after dropping off our stuff at the hotel then went to Club Sega and played video games for an hour easy, great fun as always Club Sega Locals.
