Tokyo day I

We had a day "off" after our show in Tokyo to do interviews 
For the first interview we got 1000 yen ($100) to go shopping and talk about what we got. I will try and post a link once it goes up.
I mean what a weird Pretty Woman moment.
They took us to the biggest most overwhelming mind fuck of a store called Tokyu Hands
It was like an emporium of everything you could ever imagine. 
It would kinda be like if Wallmart was actually filled with THE RADDEST shit on every aisle, and there were 8 of them piled on top of each other all with different CRAZY shit.
these pictures can not even do it justice. But if you ever wanted to squeeze a pig and make it cry this is where you could buy one to do that.
I mean this makes you wanna have a baby just so you can dress it like a hitman from Pulp fiction, right?
Then after that shopping horror freak show we went to this chain restaurant that has a slab of grilled tofu in between two buns with lettuce and tomato if you are vegan you have to make sure to say no avocado because they drown it in mayo.
after hangin' around and talking to a bunch of people for Japanese magazines Katomah took us to an incredible Japanese all vegan restaurant. CORRECTION: 

It is called Nagi Shokudo. http://www.nagishokudo.com/

These are all photos of it.
The food was so incredible!!! I feel terrible I could not remember the name.

Thanks to the readers who wrote in with the correct name and info of the restaurant.
Thanks for the great food!!!
Then we went shopping at a mall, because we wanted to go to MUJI. but this shop name caught my eye.
back at the hotel we had the smartest toilet I have ever seen.  
In the middle of it all.
Dean and Katoman.
then after diner we went to do karaoke with Melissa and Busy and Busy's good friend from school. (again, no notes were taken. I am a shitty reporter. but trust me he was the raddest dude x 10)
Karaoke Dean
Karaoke Busy
the best lyrics ever. Now with more saxophone!
Katoman calling for more beer. It was like all you can drink for 6 hours. 
we left after 2 hours.
but we got the most out of those 2 hours. this was the secret unannounced covers only No Age Telepathe show.
big ups!
Dean is holding the big ass remote.

Pulper Lain Pulper Lain!!!!
Katoman
oh man, so many songs were sung.
we couldn't find any Metallica 
patterns clashed
whoa
it was our box to rage in.
you can imagine how the rest of the night went down, cuz i don't remember shit after this.

Tokyo day II

Marijuana is soooooo illegal in japan. In the 70's Paul McCartney got mega busted trying to bring some joints with him when he was on tour with Wings. They banned him for a shit load of years. 
However putting dogs in bowls and selling them on the streets is ok. Go figure!
We woke up early the next day because we had to print out all these forms for our Brazilian work permits. We also had to take new passport photos for the work permits.
we went down to Shibuya station to take passport photos at a photo booth.
How rad is this tile!
and it was also raining that morning. Is there nothing you can not anthropomorphize?  Sad umbrella...
This was the passport photo booth.
This was the 1st photo I took. I was still reading the instructions when the flash went off. I had to take another one. I was also still super hung over.
Alex modeled for the poster advertising the photo booth.
I mean they smoke a lot in Japan, but WTF! This would possibly be the world's deadliest cigaret. You would prolly get a hernia just trying to hold it to your lips.
This what Japanese ovaries look like.
HA!!! No, just kidding! We ran into Melissa, Busy, and Minoru on the street and we went to take "picture team photos"(is that what they are called?) 
We took 2 sets this sorta what the 1st one looked like.
this is a better picture of the pictures.
It is so crazy, you take photos and get to draw all over them.
this is at the drawing station on the next set.(Notice Melissa's  stigmata) 
Why is this not a noise band or tape label name already?
wow... 
the 2nd set sorta looked like this. I will try to hi res scan them because they are pretty funny.
This is a poster for the Japanese No Age. So fucked up!
This dog won the contest for the "best dog wearing a bow tie" national contest in Japan. Well deserved. (Also notice: Terminator: Salvation just goes as T4, I wonder if there is a japanese dub of Christian Bales rant?)
This is 4 floors of people eating lunch on top of eachother.
guitars fer dayz
then back on the plane to go home.

THIS is SERIOUSLY  a statue of a ZOMBIE you can buy in the sky mall magazine. If anyone buys this for us we will give you keys to our practice space and you can come hangout whenever.
