Morning
We did a walking tour of Kagurazaka area of Tokyo – a local shopping area. We didn’t buy much but walked past a red bean sweet specialty shop and stopped and tried the sweets, and buying some for later. They were sweet and very tasty.
Also some interesting sidewalk art…
The afternoon was devoted to some shopping … a button and yarn store for me! I had visited Okadaya store before and purchased some buttons and the area devoted to buttons amazed me. The size must be the size of my family room and it is devoted to buttons!
The Robot Restaurant
Now you know this was Tim’s idea.
We started with a “pre-show”. As I sat through that show all I could think about was how long the evening was going to feel! I watched a singer, not much younger than me and clearly in worse shape, try to dance and sing his way through the show. His body didn’t move above his knees with the exceptions of his arms (and they didn’t move much either), which sort of limited his dance moves. He also more screamed than sang. But the idea was to warm up the crowd, with liquor and liquor was a good idea to get through the pre-show.
Then the real show started….OH MY was I in for a visual treat!
In came the drummers – the raw energy these performs put into the show was amazing. You had to be in your 20s for that much energy, but they didn’t perform like neophytes.
