Arigato, Japan

I recently returned from Japan and I have a shit-ton of people to thank. First off, I have to thank the Matsui family (Tatsuya, Keni, Hiroyan, Mama & Papa Matsui, Yukie, Eri, Auntie whose name I forgot), Mitsuki, Four Tomorrow (especially Yamaoka for CoCo Curry and Watami, Noriaki for Driving, Michi and Naoki for being cool), Seventeen Again (especially Yabu and Osawa for hooking me up with Operation Ivy covers and 7 inch records), Blotto (especially Yusuke for awesome half-drunk train rides, fun stories, advice, being a great guy), Anti Justice (especially En for hooking me up in Osaka and all the good times in Ueno), No People (especially Jin for speaking awesome English and being a fun guy, Fumi for random encounter at Akabane station), Yu and Urban Sleep Discs, Megane and Amazing Records, Nogio, Yoichi, Shunsuke, Bob Vielma, Randy, Kitschy Guyz (Jon Fu, Reiko, Atchan), and lots of people whose names I was either too sober or too drunk to remember. Hope to see you all again soon!
