After a week at home following the New Years Show, it was time to jump back on the airplanes again. First of all i had to fly to London, collect my passport from the New Zealand embassy and head straight to the airport to fly home again. I spent longer travelling to and from London then i spent in it.
12 hours later it was back to the airport to fly to Tokyo via Paris to restart the tour. First up was Japan, and shows in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. I like Japan, everything is incredibly efficient and people are for the most very friendly. After ariving, it was straight down to a production to meet all of the Japanese crew who would be travelling with us for the next couple of days. A quick look out my hotel room window showed that i had what i consider to be a lasting image of Tokyo.....The busy pedestrian intersection.
Our first night was spent in the Roppongi district in various bars etc, one of which was The Cavern Club where we watched Silver Beats, who are a Japanese Beatles tribute band who dont speak any english at all but can play every Beatles song perfectly.
After a show at Tokyos Zepp club it was off to the bullet train to Nagoya where we got to see Mt. Fuji as we passed by
After soundcheck it was off to see the sights of Nagoya as i`d never been here before. First up was Nagoya Castle
After that it was over to Osu Cannon Temple
After the show again it back to the bullet train and onwards to Osaka.
After the show here we went to the legendary bar Rock-Rock where i decided it was time to try and drink my own body weight in Jack Daniels and Jagermeister and then decide to vomit my way to New Zealand, but more on that later!!
