Hi Guys. I’m heading to Tokyo mid April with a school trip. As there are three other teachers I’ll get the occasional opportunity to sneak off. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what to do or see surf guitar wise? Bands, second hand guitar shops etc. Cheers Simon |

Too much for coincidence to not comment. I had the great fortunate to visit Japan (Tokyo) and Okinawa 'on the company's dime' a few years ago. Managed to add a weekend and get an uh-may-zing personal tour of so much of the city over 2 days. My only regret... after touring a few record shops (scored some great Takeshi Terauchi vinyl!) and music stores (no purchases, but pretty amazing) I mentioned to my local host 'this great Surf band, the Surf Coasters'. They proceeded to Google them only to learn they JUST played an in-store show not too far away from where we were. "Just" as in a couple of hours before we looked it up. It was like 3pm or 4pm on a Saturday and they played at like noon or 1pm. The real kicker... despite how large 'Tokyo' is, it was less than a few miles away.
Lesson learned: search for live music schedules before you go. And regardless, hit a few record stores and music shops. Fun to look if nothing else. Oh, and while it's not high on the tourist radar, they have a great wing franchise that the locals love; Yamachan. Pretty great and worth a stop if you pass one by! —Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation |

I was in Tokyo a few years back and stumbled across a July 4 'muscle car' show, that had an instro band we know, supporting a well-known garage band, for FREE！ It's a big city......there's bound to be something happening, just need to find it ? Lotsa indie record stores/cool clothes stores seemed to have flyers ? P.S. There's a cool surf instro band called The Whys but they're from Fukuoka. |
