Hittin' home runs in Tokyo!
There are too many pics
to post here! you'll soon find a few below, but click HERE
for a thumbnail page of Tokyo Pics.
Radio:
We met with INTER-FM in Tokyo, and 2 other radio stations in Sendai. The various
program directors and DJ's and managers liked us right away and started playing
Flametal in rotation after meeting with them. Most of our performances were
taped to be played later, but FM3 in Sendai- a traditionally more conservative
radio station had us Live on the air! This is something I've never seen before,
probably because I'm from America where the Radio waves (and everything else)
are controlled by the man. Radio DJ's in Japan can actually play the music they
want to! One interesting fact is that there are only THREE FM radio stations
that cover all of Tokyo. 2 of them play Japanese Pop; the other (Inter Fm) plays
everything else. Flametal is now on air in Japan!
Housing:
We stayed in a little apartment in Shinjuku. This area absolutly ROCKS! A 5
min walk from the train station, our lil area had everything we needed- Tully's
coffee, excellent Japanese food, and american burger joint/cafe, McDonalds (I
admit to having a breakfast sandwich there), Shinjuku Records (where we scored
some wicked DVD Bootlegs), and our new favorite place to drink: The Gravity
Bar.
Cd Release Party:
Ok- taking a blog break!
Can't type. I killed too many brain cells last night (St. Patties Day). Peep
the Tokyo Pics in the meantime, or check the more updated blog at flametaljp.com Some of the pics are blurry- sorry!

So much fun seeing your pics and your passion for Japanese food! Which of them will you adding to your collection on your wall? ;>
(Oh, you still have to keep Skaanevik's pic. If you do, you have to come back here to take new one.)
Liked the motorbike and the one with the drunk guy! Soooo fun! Gush, surprised to find my face there! You must have taken it quite early at the party, yet, I don't remember you taking one...
Thanks for great time in Tokyo & awaiting for the next time.
