Day 10, damn that needed a special treatment, I woke up and decided to take my girl to Odaïba, the other side of the bay; not just by metro but I wanted to take the superb monorail they got.
You take it at Shimbashi station and get off on the other side at Odaïba to get a beautiful view of the bay. The monorail goes right under the impressive Rainbow Bridge and the view is fantastic if you sit in front of the train, there’s no conductor so you sit right there and it felt like i was driving…haha.
You definitely need to go there if you’re in Tokyo, the panorama is incredible, they have a beach there and a nice park close to the bridge, man it’s so nice. We took a nap in the grass under the sun then went to this shop around the corner dedicated to cats, haha, i know it’s funny! Actually the funny thing about this shop is that you can pay to get in a room full of cats well treated with couches and everything.
Time to get back to the city, we’re leaving soon so we don’t have much time to chill. We went straight to Yanaka, a neighbourhood that survived WWII bombings so buildings are still from that era, it also has a lot of cemetaries and very nice temples. It’s probably a perfect spot if you’re looking for a quiet afternoon, and talking about cats, the cemetaries are full of em, dunno why, every cat seems to have it’s territory, it’s grave, weird i know. We took our time there to enjoy the area right before heading back home to prepare for the night and me replying to some emails of course.
Yeah, tonite is photographer Sho Kikuchi’s Photo Exhibition dedicated on “Wild Style 1982-83 Street Real From NYC to Tokyo“, my homeboy here Shigeru organises this with some other peeps, playing music there as well. It’s at Nos, a very nice, i mean very very nice place to have a drink. We arrived around 8.30pm at the spot, we thought it would be something like an expo room, you know, white walls, little frames with pictures; haha hell no, it was crowded, projections of pictures while people eat on tables, and to check out the pictures on the wall you had to slalom around the tables, i felt a bit bad for the people eating though but the pictures were splendid. Another splendid thing, something my lady told me, the toilets were dope haha. My homeboy was spinning the Wild Style soundtrack and other gems, me drinking the only alcohol i can, amaretto haha. For the ones that don’t know, yeah i don’t drink nor smoke. Anyway, we just got home, it’s 11pm and have to wake up early tomorrow morning, have to record a show in the morning for. How was your day?
