Playing the best of Japanese Indies and underground (and other stuff). Music you will hear nowhere else! Mike has been fired from every Tokyo FM station at least once and some of them 4 times! I wear it as a stinky badge of honor because FM in Japan sucks so much. Tune in! Be there!

Really? Come to think of it (and I've never thought about it before) but won't they start running out of names someday? In Japan, they just give them numbers.... There's no personality. I ain't a number!!!!
Avatar 9:32pm
Ted:

↳ Mike Rogers @9:25
Upon first glances, it appears they both recycle and retire names for the Atlantic Coast.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:32pm
coelacanth∅:

if they run out of names, ever, they're sadly narrow in their scope. i mean, in the extreme unlikelyhood they run out of english-speaking culture names there's no shortage of japanese, javanese, zimbabwe, ugandan, peruvian, icelandic, sequoian. . . . . . all of which exist in english-speaking cultures to some degree as well and would eventually be "normal" english names.

Well, it's up in the mountains. And there isn't anything around there at all. Very bizarre to go off the main road and head to the trout fishing area. it's like a different planet. I can't believe such a place exists an hour away from Tokyo.

I ate it, but that was at a REALLY expensive restaurant. Generally speaking, I think eating any sushi outside of Japan is very risky.

Remember when we went to London and you friends took us to that high class Japanese restaurant, Ken? And we walked in and a caucasian guy was making sushi? That freaked me out.

Guys, it takes like ten years to get a license in japan to make sushi. I know guys who came here and worked for 6 months and then went back to the USA and opened a sushi restaurant. Of course, I went there, but refrained from eating sushi.

I went to Seatlle and ate at a "Japanese" restaurant. While waiting there, I overheard the kitchen and staff all talking to each other in Korean. No sushi for me there! So I ordered "Tempura" but it wasn't tempura, it was just a fried fish...
Avatar 10:45pm

We get some odd Japanese food here like shrimp-flavored french fries. Why someone would want that, i don't know, but there it is.

I did like the sake martini I had at one Japanese restaurant.

↳ Mr Fab @10:45
Sake Martini???? Wow! A culinary adventure!

Shrimp flavored potato chips are popular here with the kids.... So that's probably where the french fries came from. But, yeah, that's a bit bizarre.
