Tokyo! The big T, the big smoke, a place with bars and clubs and restaurants popping out of its ears, with buildings elbowing shrines shouldering giant plasma screens and NEON and people everywhere, a metropolis damn it!
This is big news to two boys from the countryside.
We saw a flicker book ad in an underground tunnel, a wall-mounted poster that made cricket sounds the length of the corridor, we saw hounds-tooth scarves and coats and jumpers, (I'd not known hounds tooth but now I do- Mike is a fashion guru and knows these things), we saw plum no cherry no some kind of blossom anyway its blossom, we saw girls and girls and girls to make the mind reel and palpitate for a week, girls going the other way on the escalators, girls on the pavements, in the shops, everywhere, we saw people with funny face paint and strange hair colours. We also saw 2 many Djs, but I wouldn't be able to tell you much about that, since I was pissed
as
a
fart.
