I finally had the chance to catch the legendary DJ Clark Kent in Tokyo. Shout out to Anthony "AXG" Gilbert for putting us in contact a long time ago! He came to La Baron to bless the crowd with a set. I was blessed with the opportunity to observe, learn, and go track for track with him. In this picture we are discussing the misspelling of Brooklyn on this Japanese dude's shirt. "Blooklyn": I explained the difficulty w. Ls & Rs
Pepsi has done it again. This can be added to my "Fatness First: Soda Collection". The Fall 2010 flavor is Mont Blanc. This tastes like coffee ground and a hint of chocolate, in watered down Pepsi.
I've been blessed to have 3 of my family members visit me in the past year. My dad came last August, my grandmother came during cherry blossom season, and my little brother came for summertime. He starts college this year and I had to make sure he enjoyed his time in Tokyo. I think it ruined him really. I don't know how you go back to life in the U.S. after experiencing this as a young man!

College is fantastic and I am excited for him! Japan will be waiting for him to come back!
Thank you Sayaka for showing me how Osaka rocks!

"Pop.Lock.&Drop It!" Japan didn't get the message that guys aren't supposed to drop it too!

Springroove 2008, Tokyo's Largest Hip Hop and R&B concert fest. This year the headliners were Rihanna and Neyo with a Bape Heads Show Stage which featured Kanye West, N.E.R.D, and Teriyaki Boyz. I went just in time for my personal headliners NERD and Kanye. They did an hour set each and rocked it! I stayed in the BAPE Stage room and didn't bother to see Rihanna and I'm not a Neyo fan.
NERD did a variety of their tracks including "Brain", "Fly or Die", "Rockstar", "Lap Dance", "Maybe", and their latest single "Everybody Nose". The crowd was difficult at reacting besides us die hard NERD fans and the various people who had their select favorite singles. Pharrell kept going down the stage with his silly kicking dance. The band rocked it and I loved their drummers and guitarists.
Kanye West, Kanyeably late, started a half an hour past when he was supposed to go on. He is a great performer and puts his all in his shows. I kept bustin on his serious gaze into the camera, he's so dramatic. I love him! He performed everything I wanted to hear from "Good Morning", "Homecoming", "Gold Digger", "Champion", "Through the Wire", "Get Em High", "Good Life", "Heard Em Say", "Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Jesus Walks", "Touch The Sky", "Flashing Lights" and many more. I was done when he did my favorite from this year, "I Wonder". He even got on his Alicia Keys when he went to the keyboard for his own "I Wonder" playing medley. I will cry if he doesn't come back with his Glow In The Dark Tour. I highly suggest everyone go to that!
At the end of the show, Teriyaki Boyz took the stage with DJ Nigo (creator of Bathing Ape) to perform their Pharrell and Kanye collaboration tracks. They did their newest single "Zock On" which features Pharrell and Busta Rhymes. Then they performed with Kanye to "I Still Love H.E.R.", and Pharrel closed out with "Number 1".
This was a great show for Kanye and N.E.R.D. to not have been headliners. I went just to see them and was not disappointed!
(Apologize for the distorted Kanye sound-base was kickin!)
It is that time of year again, for the fertility festival at the Kawasaki Daishi Shrine near Tokyo, Japan. Foreigners flock in amazement and Japanese come in disbelief, many not knowing this festival exists.

This man was posted up on the corner of Harajuku Station and Yoyogi Park, selling these pancake balls. My friend bought some and insisted I try them. At first I thought they needed syrup poured over them, but they were just sweet enough to be delicious and addicting. I had to go back and order another bag of 20 for $5. Once you pop you can't stop said Pringles, but that is the truth about these! The pancake version of pretzel bites. Fatness First!
