Day Three
Another afternoon lobby call and Hide found 3 young chaps in a slightly worse for wear state. Those Adidas shades came in handy for more than fashion purposes.
Sat in Tokyo bay with a strong ice coffee and some rather interesting looking snacks we gazed out at the city across the water and spouted vague greetings to passers by.
We boarded the HMS Party and made our way up through the various floors crowded with the team of organisers, copious amounts of alcohol, beautiful food and scantilly clad japanese ladies ready to serve, alcohol that is.
As we climbed the last set of stairs we found a view of Tokyo, a blazing light show and wicked little stage and DJ booth. The excitement was evident and a crew member brought us a nice refreshing beverage, who knows what was in it!
Sound check and a few photos followed and a TV crew turned up, cameras, big lights, techy people, and set up in a quiet corner. KOB were beckoned over with our trusty Translator Miss Amita and we did some interviews for Japanese Music TV which we hope to get the videos for in a few weeks after they've aired it themselves.
So we mingled a little, had a the odd beverage, chatted to fans and then made our way up to the top deck where the boat was literally rocking. it was amazing, there was a big light show and the DJ was bouncing out tunes, young ladies having a little boogie on the dance floor and then they introduced us, well i think they did, it was in Japanese and they said 'Kids On Bridges' at the end of it and then looked at us so we walked on and did our thing.
The crowd went nuts for us as we smashed through our set with the Tokyo skyline behind us, the Music on TV crew filmed the show and we're deffo gonna get that for you all to see. Chris got the crowd jumping, the ship was swaying from side to side and the strobes lit up the boat like bonfire night. it was all round one the best gigs we've ever done. We finished our set to a rapturous applause and photos and autographs, you've gotta do it people, it's all about the fans.
Then Hide took us out to a traditional Japanese restaurant for our last evening meal (although it was in the small hours of the morning) with him and we ate some seriously crazy foods. Salmons eggs, Octopus in egg dumplings, chicken, pork and beef like you've never seen them and a desert that contained tea ice cream, cornflakes, potatoes, beans, goja berries, cream and rice cakes that looked like jelly babies. Proper nuts!
