I Heart Japan

We played two shows: one opening for Kuruli, an awesome Japanese band that’s really big over there, and the second at Harajuku Astrohall on our own… both shows were met with mighty, enthusiastic energy from a crowd of absolute ROCKERS! Tokyo is like a sci-fi fantasy—where we stayed in Shibuya was a calm, efficient madhouse of a bustling city, perhaps triple the amount people as in NYC (perhaps more!), but 10 times quieter! Alas, a week wasn’t long enough! I was just recovering from jet-lag and beginning to feel my culture shock when we were off again to the homeland… ah next time… Everyone was soooooo nice to us, and we want to thank all our Japanese fans for making our trip such an amazing experience!

Wow what a huge crowd and big stage! Glad you had a blast. I know Ricc must have been overjoyed with the sushi. You all look great! And the sake...OMG… Have fun in NJ!
