    I live in Japan and I know who DJ Sumi-Rock is. Those Shinjuku clubs don't turn down the volume at all. She is in the Kibuki-cho area of Shinjuku. That is the bad-ass entertainment area of Shinjuku, and its got its "red light" elements too.

      I lived in Shinjuku (15 mins by bike from Kabuki-cho) for 7 years and there is nowhere else like it on earth. I wish I was there right now to see and dance to DJ Sumi-Rock beats.

    My grandmother stopped working at 85 and she's now 98 and she still cooks and does house chores. No one asks her to do this she just loves doing it and she says she can't see herself just laying around and have people take care of her. She'll be 99 in a few months and is looking forward to celebrating her 100th birthday.

    Everyone should go Shinjuku, it's one of the most beautiful streets of Tokyo, they have this coloured fashion, called decora that is so pretty, they also have a more darker fashion that exposes depression and mental health, using pastel colours, black and details that can shock people, but it's beautiful. So please, visit Shinjuku, eat the amazing food and just sit. It's an experience that you'll never forget.

    • @lhfirex
      @lhfirex Před 5 lety +14

      Calling Shinjuku a street is like calling Manhattan a street, though. All the fashion stuff you're talking about sounds more like Harajuku, and that's a different, smaller part of Tokyo. But still more than a street!
      Anyway, DJ Sumirock sounds cool. I know from having lived there that part of why she can do all this stuff is she's got very little to worry about being out so late. And realistically, she probably has to bike home. Maybe Uber caught on in Japan since I left there a year ago, but I don't think so... and cabs are pretty expensive. All other transit shuts down much earlier, and the crime rate is so low in Japan that she's pretty much safe. Hell, she'd probably scare away any potential threats if she stayed in her DJ outfit.

      @electronsympathy Před 5 lety +14

      If you're drunk in Shinjuku, doing coke off a Hello Kitty vending machine, I have just the place for you. Kibuki-Cho's hottest club is "Niko Niko Supakuru." This former middle school gym, which became a McDonalds, then became a love hotel, has an excessive yet nostalgic feel. Like when Tom Cruise has a movie scene where he runs away from things long enough for you to go to the bathroom and get a refill on popcorn without missing any of the plot. This place has everything. Kabuki actors, sports cars with unnecessarily large spoilers, an 80 year old DJ, Roman J Israel Esquire. Plus, you can play everyone's favorite party game, "Touch the kitty." You know that sitcom 'That 70's Show?' It's when everyone makes a circle around Debra Jo Rupp, who played Kitty Foreman, and take turns gently touching the tip of her nose.
