Description:

my bike ride through golden gai, one of the oldest areas in tokyo. at least 50 bars, most with no more than 5 seats. Built just after WWII this area would have been (over) developed just like the rest of shinjuku, but a grassroots movement in the 70's protected it. I suppose now its likely to get destroyed when THE BIG ONE hits tokyo, but until then its a quiet out of the way place that you can go to to get a taste of old tokyo. the path leading to it used to be a train line that led to shinjuku station.

I have this fantasy that I can befriend them and they will do my bidding, just needs a sacrifice, a baby, or a basket of kittens.

great kalimba tune --how many overdubs? and is your percussion sound a drum? or are you striking the kalimba? sounds great!
