Dance Dance Revolution
WHAM BAAAM!!
So I went to another breakdancing competition last night with my buddy Keisuke, the 36-year-old businessman breakdancer that I teach English to on the weekends (what a pimp!)...I wish I had video footage...
It lasted from about 4 in the afternoon until 10...damn...it was at this massive club in the futury Star-Trek-esque wicked part of Tokyo where everything is built on reclaimed land from Tokyo harbour. Lined up for almost an hour...security ASKED me if I had anything that I shouldn't...I said "no"...end of security check...what a joke! I mean, no one searched my bag, grabbed my nuts, or anything else that happens at a regular security check at a club in North America...the Japanese are just not very good at breaking rules, whatever they may happen to be...
Further, I was relieved to conclude that, yes, there are some women (Japanese women, no less!) in the world who know how to dance (saints be praised! a miracle!)...also, I was astonished to see children under the age of 10 busting a mad move on the stage with a krumping crew! WTF!! pimpest kids of all time...throwing moves down like a raging Michael Jackson on amphetamines...there were families with kids, and mothers, all busting mad moves to the pumping sounds of a massive soundsystem...damn, the West needs to emulate this awesomeness...some people drinking, some watching, some little kids playing and running around like little kids do, some people practicing moves by the speakers, some people just watching the show and appreciating the artisans of dancery on the stage...
It's so bizarre that in Japan, the dance scene is completely removed from the club scene...makes no sense...but that's okay because nothing makes any sense in this country...which is kind of why it's so damn fun all the time...
