It should have been the trip of a lifetime: two 21-year-old friends from the UK moved to Tokyo during a gap year to work and live in one of the most exciting cities in the world. But less than a month later, one of the women, Lucie Blackman, went missing. Her distraught family flew to Japan on a desperate search to find her, and one of the biggest manhunts in the country's history began. What they found was a monster of unspeakable proportions.SOURCESPeople Who Eat Darkness: The Fate of Lucie Blackman. By Richard Lloyd Parry.

NASA's luminosity data reveals that the city's nighttime brightness remains at 90% of its pre-pandemic levels in 2019, while cities like Paris and London have fully regained their nocturnal radiance. 儘管全球經濟正從COVID-19的影響中恢復,東京的夜生活仍在掙扎著恢復其活力的光芒。NASA(美國國家航空暨太空總署)的亮度數據顯示,該市的夜間亮度仍然保持在2019年疫情前的水平的90%,而巴黎和倫敦等城市已完全恢復了他們的夜間亮度。 According to data processed by the Colorado School of Mines using NASA satellite images, Nikkei, a Japanese news source, has calculated the nighttime brightness of various cities during the April-October period of 2022. The findings show that Paris experienced a 3.2% increase in illumination levels and London saw a 1.4% rise from 2019 averages. However, Tokyo's luminosity dropped by 11.6%. 日本的新聞來源《日本經濟新聞》根據美國科羅拉多礦業學院使用NASA衛星圖像處理的數據,計算了2022年4月至10月期間各個城市的夜間亮度。結果顯示,巴黎的照明水平增加了3.2%,倫敦則增加了1.4%,而東京的亮度下降了11.6%。 This decline in Tokyo's nighttime radiance is largely attributed to the slow recovery of its central business districts, which were once bustling hubs for after-work socializing. The decrease in luminosity is more pronounced in entertainment districts than residential areas. Nightspots like Roppongi, Shinjuku, and Ginza saw light levels drop by over 15%. Downtown foot traffic in February was about 20% lower than three years prior, according to mobile location data from Docomo Insight Marketing. Labor shortages are exacerbating the situation, making it challenging for understaffed eateries to operate late into the night. 東京夜間亮度的下降主要歸因於其中央商業區恢復的緩慢,這些地區曾經是下班後繁忙的社交中心。亮度的下降在娛樂區比住宅區更為明顯。六本木、新宿和銀座等夜生活熱點的燈光水平下降超過15%。根據電信公司Docomo Insight Marketing提供的行動設備定位數據,2月份市中心的人流量比三年前少約20%。勞動力短缺也加劇了這種情況,使得人手不足的餐廳難以經營到深夜。 The decline in business hours has affected consumption patterns. According to TableCheck, customer traffic at Tokyo eateries in March was 14.9% below the 2019 average. Declines were steeper during late hours, with a drop of 44.8% between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. and 57.9% between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. 營業時間的減少影響了消費模式。根據TableCheck網站的數據,2023年3月,東京餐廳的客流量比2019年平均水平低了14.9%。在深夜時段,下降更為明顯,例如下午6點至晚上10點之間下降了44.8%,晚上11點至凌晨2點之間下降了57.9%。 Takahiro Saito, representative director of the Japan Nighttime Economy Association (JNEA), emphasizes the need to attract different customer groups, such as families and foreign visitors, to revitalize the sector. He suggests increasing the number of downtown theaters and social events. 日本夜間經濟協會(JNEA)的代表董事Takahiro Saito強調了吸引不同客戶群的必要性,如家庭和外國遊客,以振興該領域。他建議增加市中心劇院和活動的數量。 Although an increase in foreign tourists is expected with COVID-19 restrictions being lifted, Tokyo faces challenges like limited public transportation at night. Despite these hurdles, this situation presents an opportunity for Tokyo to not only boost its economy but also rejuvenate its urban culture. 儘管預計隨著COVID-19限制措施的解除,外國遊客的數量將有所增加,東京仍然面臨著夜間大眾運輸有限的挑戰。儘管存在這些困難,但這種情況為東京提供了一個不僅提振其經濟,還能同時使城市文化得到復興的機會。 Reference article: https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Datawatch/Tokyo-nightlife-still-not-fully-lit-despite-global-COVID-recovery
El 4 de mayo de 2000 Lucie Blackman, de 21 años y su amiga Louise Phillips, de la misma edad viajan a Tokio después de renunciar a sus trabajos como azafatas en British Airways para viajar por Asia.

The Cutting Edge Japan Business Show By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
This is a pretty big subject, so I will pick up a few of the more noteworthy differences. In the West, salespeople, for the most part, are involved in an occupation for which they have received no training. They are thrown into sales, to sink or swim. If they don't sell, they don't eat, because of the sales commission structures. Total commission based remuneration is a normal thing in most countries or at least the pay structures will have a very high “at risk” component. In many cases, this drives desperation and salespeople saying anything to get a sale, in order to last another week in the job. Cold calling potential clients is a big part of finding new buyers and a lot of attention is placed on prospecting and pipeline building activities. Japan is quite different. There are very few salespeople here in 100% commission sale jobs. The simple reason is because they don't have to. Anyone on that type of pay scale is in a very low level job and are usually pretty young people who not very well educated. The touts you see on the street outside clubs in Kabukicho in Shinjuku or in Roppongi or Akasaka will no doubt be on high commissions and very low base salaries. The societal status attached to those in commission sales is also very low and so it is very hard to find anyone who wants to do it. In Japan, you don't want your daughter to marry one of them. Like the West, most Japanese people have no training in sales apart from a perfunctory On The Job Training exposure. I say exposure because it is rather more cosmetic than concrete. Your boss or one of the more experienced salespeople, will take you with them to visit a few clients and then bingo, you are out there on your own. Your boss and the others in the firm went through the same process, so no one thinks anything about it. This is a brilliant system for reproducing mediocrity, generation after generation. In both cases of untrained Western and Japanese salespeople, they notoriously launch straight into their pitch without asking any questions of the buyer. They immediately go into the dark pit of details, the facts, the spec, the brochure, the flyers, the powerpoint, etc. In the West, commission based salespeople can have ultra short professional lives in sales. Most people, with little or no training, have simply no idea what they are doing and so they just fail. In short order, they are sayonara out of sales. The Darwinian penalty for failure is sales oblivion. In Japan, sales people are usually on a salary and bonus arrangement or base salary and commission, with the base being fairly high. For some of my followers living outside of Japan, it may be news to learn that because of the labour laws here, incompetence is not an acceptable reason to fire people in companies. We are predominantly talking about the mid-sized and big companies now, because in smaller firms that bias is not so pronounced. Nevertheless, in Japan, the failing salesperson would get a good dose of verbal abuse from the boss, on a regular basis. If they can't take that, then they will quit or if they can take it and won't quit, they will be transferred to another non-sales role elsewhere in the company. Fairly useless salespeople are tolerated here, much more than in the West. Japanese larger companies are “generalist”, rather than “specialist” production machines. Everyone is expected to migrate their way around the different parts of the company, picking up experience along the way over the course of their long career. One of those rotations may be into the sales department. Strangely, there is very limited activity applied to prospecting, especially cold calling. Japanese salespeople rely on their firm's brand to do the bulk of the selling for them. If you aren't very good at hunting, getting new clients, then no problem, you are assigned to become a farmer taking care of existing clients. Basically your job is to turn up and clip their ticket for the next regular order. For all Japanese salespeople, you must be totally subservient and uber obedient to the buyer. You must do whatever they say, be available 24 hours a day and put up with large amounts of crap to keep the buyer happy and loyal. And trust me, Japanese buyers are incredibly picky and demanding. If you make a mess of even this in the lesser demanding role of farmer, then you will get moved out and into another department. You won't get fired. In the West, we are trained to persuade the buyer, to counter whatever they say, to have a comeback immediately. We say the buyer is King, yet we need to get their royal agreement to buy. There are lots of tactics used to get this “Yes”. Salespeople can be very aggressive and terrier like about this process. They will argue with the buyer and try to convince them to reverse their opposition to purchasing. For example, if the buyer says “I will think about it”, then the salespeople will ask them, “what in particular do you need to think about”, “who else will be involved in this decision” etc., and keep pushing hard to get a sale. In Japan, the end decision maker is very vague and unclear sometimes inside companies. When they say “we” will think about it, they mean it, because the person you are sitting across the table from cannot make the decision on their own. Everyone who will be impacted by the buying decision has to be consulted and a consensus reached, before moving forward. In Japan, this always seems to take a lot of time. Now in Japan, the buyer is not King. The buyer is God. Salespeople must meekly obey whatever God says. The buyer will solely direct the sales meeting conversation and will be looking for the salesperson's pitch, so they can fillet it and then destroy it. This is a tried and true technique to reduce risk. By pulling the pitch apart limb from limb, they want the seller to now show them this is not a risky decision that will come back later to haunt their career. Part of this pitch and then firestorm of buyer criticism routine is that there are no discovery questions being asked of the buyer. The salesperson is scared to ask the buyer, that is to say God, any questions, so they remain ignorant of their needs. If they happen to have what the buyer needs and they have successfully dealt with the risk question, then they will get a sale. The typical lack of sales training is similar in the West and Japan, but the degrees of aggression are quite different. Pushy sales techniques just won't work here. If you don't know how to get permission to ask questions, then be prepared to be like the grouse at a shooting afternoon in Scotland, as the well armed buyer gives you both barrels and blows your pitch out of the air. Decisions are always going to take time because of the group orientation of this society and the buyer is never on your nor your boss's schedule.

Sakamichi Brewing is in Tachikawa, Tokyo. Each week Daniel and Matthew (and sometimes guests) pick a beer or two from the menu and talk about it a bit. This week we enjoyed a few glasses of Bread, a "special beer" released by Anglo Japanese brewing that uses upcycled bread crusts from Bricolage Bread & Co in Roppongi. We also talked a little about upcycling as a concept and how we might hope to apply it at Sakamichi, and pushed Dan's cricket knowledge to the boundary.

A brand new venture can bring trepidation, and is never as straight forward as it may seem. That's something that I know all too well. On this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with curator, collector, and small business owner David Kutcher about his Japanese woodblock print gallery Moonlit Sea Prints. Located in Easthampton, Massachusetts, David opened his gallery to share his love of Japanese woodblokc prints. We discuss why he got involved with the Japanese woodblock, the background of the business, his own private collection, the competition, and how history plays a part in his business. Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints Twitter @unfinishedprint, or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com Notes: may contain a hyperlink. Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Moonlit Sea Prints - website, Instagram. Night Fishing by Arai Yoshimune (1873-1935) - Arai Yoshimune was a woodblock print designer who designed for the Hasegawa/Nishinomiya publishing house. “Night Fishing” is one print in a series of popular shin-hanga style woodblock prints published in the early 1900's by Hasegawa/Nishinomiya of Tōkyō, called "Night Scenes". The series is made up of 21 prints. A fascinating article on this series can be found, here. Below is the "Fishing Boat," print from the this series. Fuji Arts - is an online Japanese woodblock print store, for collectors and is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The company has been in operation since 2000. Connie Mack (1862-1956) - was an American professional baseball player and manager, and is the longest serving manager in baseball history. Babe Ruth (1895-1948) - is arguably the greatest American baseball player of all time. Made famous for his time with the New York Yankees form 1920-1934. Is said to have hit his first ever home run here in Toronto in 1914 when baseball was played on the island, against the Toronto Maple Leafs (baseball club). 1934 Japan Baseball Tour - baseballs all stars of the time, including Connie Mack and Babe Ruth, went to Japan in 1934 to play on an “All American All-Stars” team. More information can be found here, with some footage. Acidic and non acidic matting - acid is a natural occurring element within paper. Like food, some have more, some have less. For very acid-free paper you would be using paper made from cloth rag and containing a small amount of a chemical compound called “lingnin” which is in all paper. The more lignin, the more acid the paper has. You want to use an acid-free paper to protect your print or piece of art from yellowing and other damage. For a great read on the subject, you can check it out, here . Starry Night by Takahashi Shōtei (1871-1945) - is a woodblock print, 6”x15” produced around 1926-1927. Shōtei designed woodblock prints for the Okura Shoten publishing house, and later for Maeba Shoten, finally designing some of his most famous prints, such as the one below, with Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962). I have seen this print with the 1926/27 year of production as well as a 1936 date as well. A biography of Shōtei can be found, here. Tōshi Yoshida (1911-1995) and the Franklin Mint - in the early 1980's Tōshi Yoshida, the eldest son of Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950) embarked on a collaboration with the Franklin Mint. A private mint (a place where currency is made) based in Pennsylvania. The series of prints are considered surimono (privately commissioned prints). The prints are three sets of prints, called The Friendly Garden, Birds of the Seasons, and the calendar prints of birds and flowers. The sizes seems to vary. In muy research i've seen some prints as being 13.5" x 21.5" for the calendar prints and 12" x 20" for Birds of the Seasons. You can see some of these prints here. print sizes - Japanese print sizes vary. The following are from the book, “The Printed Image: the Flowering of Japan's Woodblock Print Culture, (2018). ōban - 15” x 10” chūban - 10.4” x 7.5” ōtanzaku - 15.3” x 7” chūtanzaku - 15.3” x 5.2” For a larger and more extensive list you can find that, here, at artelino.com Japan in the 1950's - coming out of the second world war, Japan was slowly beginning to recover ecenomically. Starting with the U.S/Japan security alliance, called the San Fransisco Peace Treaty of 1951. By the late 1950's, and well into the late 1960's, with the help of the United States, Japan's GDP began to grow exponentially. A few economic reasons were for this. First, the US market was opened to Japanese exporters, leading to protectionism by a stregthening Japanese bureaucracy, enabling the Japanese government to control domestic and international production. Second, is what Jeff Kingston calls “industrial targeting.” This is where the Japanese government would focus on certain sectors deemed to be vital to economic growth, thereby giving private loans which in turn would create strength in Japanese infrastructure like heavy industry, crude-oil and natural gas. This also enabled the cartel system by creating fixed cliques which as a matter of course, were open to corruption. These cartels (zaibatsu) played a large part in the fascist Japanese war machine, but with their connections with American corporations and being anti-Communist, the American post-war occupying government saw these zaibatsu as an asset to Japanese growth. Companies that had connections to militarist Japan are, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Hitachi to name a few. This growth that began in the 1950's, continued until the Japanese economic bubble burst in 1989. For more information on Japan's economic history check out Jeff Kingston's 2019 book, called Japan: Polity Histories. Moonlit Sea by Shoda Koho (1871-1946) - Koho was the designer of this famous print. Little seems to be known about this print designer who published his designs with Nishinomiya Yosaku, also known as the Hasegawa Publishing Co. Jimbōchō - is an area in the city of Tōkyō. Located in Chiyoda. It is an area made famous for its bookstores, where you can buy vintage, used, and new books of all genres. Some information can be found, here. Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900) - considered to be the last ukiyo-e designer. Known as an incredible talent and having his own demons, Kunichika studied under Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865) and lived and died in Tōkyō. His work is powerful, bombastic, and colourful. His triptychs at times broke from the single panel sheet traditoin of one image per sheet, where one image for Kunichika could take up all three panels. More information can be found, here. The Museums of Liverpool have a new Kunichika exhibition from April 15, 2022 - September 4, 2022. The print below is Onoe Kikugoro V as Akashi no Naruzo (1890) Yoshikazu Utagawa (dates unknown but active from 1850-1870) - famous for his Yokohama-e prints, prints that focused on the foreigners in Yokohama City in the 19th Century. Yoshikazu also made triptychs of tengu (long nose trickster forest goblins), and other demons. The triptych below is, Yoshitsune on Mount Kurama. Minamoto no Yoshitsune (1159-1189) - was a leader of the Minamoto clan, associated with the period of warrinhg between the Minamoto and the Taira clans during the Heian Period (794-1185). Yoshitsune's history, like many individuals of that historical period in Japanese history, is mixed with legend and is difficult to know what is true and what is not. Many woodblock prints were made describing his military prowess, as well as his adventures with his friend Benkei. Some history of Yoshitsune can be found, here. intaglio printmaking - is a style of printmaking, the opposite of relief printmaking, where scratches are made with a burin on the plate (copper, zinc, aluminum) and then dipped in acid. Ink and pigment is rubbed on with a brayer, brushes, etc. More info can be found, here. Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) - a designer of more than six hundred woodblock prints, Kawase Hasui is one of the most famous designers of the shin-hanga movement of the early twentieth century. Hasui began his career with the artist and woodblock designer Kaburaki Kiyokata (1878-1971), joining several artistic societies along the way early in his career. It wasn't until he joined the Watanabe atelier in 1918 that he really began to gain recognition. Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) had Hasui design landscapes of the Japanese country-side, small towns, and everyday life. Hasui also worked closely with the carvers and printers of his prints to reach the level Hasui wanted his prints to be. The print below is Kude Beach, Wakasa (1920) Tsuchiya Kōitsu (1870 - 1949) - apprenticed under artist and print designer Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847-1915), and worked as a lithographer. Kōitsu then joined the Watanabe atelier in 1935. Kōitsu also collaborated with Doi Sadachi publishers, amongst others.

The most famous series being, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856-1859), and the landcape series, Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833-1834). His work highlights bokashi, and bright colours. More info about his work can be found, here. Below is, Coastal Landscape In Moonlight (1857) Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) - was a Viennese born artist who was a part of the art nouveau, and Vienna Secessionist movements. His subjects were, generally, of women. More information can be found, here. Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) - was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter. He began to collect Japanese woodblock prints around the winter of 1886-1887 from the art dealer Siegfried Bing, to collect and to sell for a profit, although he didn't sell very many. This collection would go on to influence much of his work. Red Fuji - also called “Fine Wind, Clear Morning,” is a woodblock print designed by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) and made around 1830-1832. The Great Wave off Kanagawa - is a woodblock print designed by Katsushika Hokusai in 1831. It is very famous. Hokusai Updated - was an exhibition held at the Mori Art Museum in the Roppongi area of Tōkyō which ran from January, 17th, 2019 to March, 24th, 2019. Hokusai manga - first published in 1814 these comical figures, lansdscapes, flowers, and other various images were created by the woodblock designer and artist Katsushika Hokusai. Beginning with Volume 1, “Transmitting the Spirit and Revealing the Form of Things,” the series became impressively popular and was continually produced, in fifteen volumes, until 1878, and in woodblock print form. More information from the Princeton Library can be found, here. Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831-1889) - was a woodblock print designer and painter who focused on dark, devious, ghostly images and even some war prints. Kyōsai's work has had a resurgence the passed decade with many people outside of the woodblock print community. More information can be found, here. Below is his triptych, Demon's Out. The Western influence on the Japanese print market - Western collectors have had a deep affinity for Japanese woodblock prints since the late 19th Century. In 1891, the print curator of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts held a Japanese print exhibition at the Smithsonian and in many ways, helped usher in a love for the Japanese woodblock print in America. As the popularity of Japanese woodblock prints began to grow, with more foreign artists living and working in Japan and abroad, such as Emil Orlik (1870-1932), Bertha Lum (1869-1954), and Helen Hyde (1868-1919) who started making their own woodblock prints. This new awareness of contemporary and vintage Japanese woodblock prints began to foster more collecting. As time has gone on, and with the Japanese woodblock print becoming so famous in the West, prices in Japan have begun to climb steadily, with more collectors in Japan collecting woodblock prints. sensō-e - are Japanese woodblock prints which focus on war. They can be single panel, diptych and triptych's. Complicated woodblock techniques were used, which highlighted war, specifically the first Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895). Artists such as Kobayashi Kiyochika designed prints for this war, the beginning of the Japanese Imperialist project. More information can be found, here. Below is Great Victory and Occupation of Jiuliancheng (1894) by Watanabe Nobukazu (1874-1944) Shirō Kasamatsu (1898-1991) - was a woodblock print designer who worked with the Watanabe atelier making shin-hanga designs.

Reputation in business is critical. Being honest, law abiding and treating business partners in a fair manner is the best policy for enhancing our reputation. Japan is a hard place in which to get into trouble, but that doesn't stop some from trying. No possibility of jail time for me, you say. Hopefully you are correct, but you might be juiced up having a big night on the town celebrating in Roppongi and a fight suddenly erupts with some fellow muscular revelers sporting crew cuts. You jump in to help your mate, things rapidly go south and the cops arrive to clean it up. If the fracas involves locals, then don't imagine the cops to give any credence to your side of the story (“Hey, they started it!”) and expect the judicial system to take a similarly harsh view of your unseemly behavior. It might be social media that brings your reputation undone. Your good name can be trashed all over the internet very easily and quickly. Recently, I received a broadcast Facebook query looking for help in locating a bad debtor. “Wow, this is going everywhere,” I thought and how damaging that was for the named business partner's reputation. We are all so interconnected today, one simple posting can be shared and dispersed with speed and breadth. It may or may not be warranted but the damage is done all the same. Retribution for not paying your way can be very expensive. Tokyo is still a small village for foreign businesspeople and everyone knows everyone else, pretty much. Broadcast postings set off concerns about not getting paid which means future potential business evaporates. Another cautionary tale came about from a false Facebook address. If you have really upset someone and they decide to go after you, then the business social media environment is perfect for waging acts of revenge. The Facebook posting looked like it was real, had a really intriguing tag line and took me to the fake site, where the dirt was piled high. This site was bursting with this person's alleged business skullduggery and their reputation was being shredded on the spot. It took me a moment to work out it was a fake posting, because it was so well done, but the damage to reputation must have been enormous. For a small amount of money, you can command Facebook to send out a promoted post to specific demographics. That provides a lot of scope for little investment. Again, dealing with people honestly and in a straightforward manner, saves a lot of time devoted to damage control and precludes reputation obliteration. So what can we take away from this discussion? As we know, Japan is pretty amae (indulgent) with foreigners, however, let's not get sucked into a false sense of security. Jailbird time here is no joke, so just don't take the risk. Treat business partners with respect, pay your bills or come to a mutually acceptable arrangement. Social media is an instant killer of reputations, the stain is semi-permanent and very hard to erase. If you create an adversary on social media, hostilities could continue indefinitely and future business opportunities could close out As the saying goes, “the radius of the circle of karma is shorter than you think”.

Le 3 juillet 2000 au matin, Louise Phillips, ressortissante britannique de 21 ans, franchit la porte du commissariat du quartier de Roppongi, à Tokyo. La jeune femme n'a pas dormi de la nuit. Elle n'a jamais été aussi inquiète. Elle vient signaler la disparition de sa meilleure amie, Lucie Blackman, également âgée de 21 ans. Elle explique que samedi 1er juillet, dans l'après-midi, Lucie a quitté l'appartement qu'elles partagent dans le secteur pour aller prendre un verre avec un Japonais qu'elle avait rencontré. Lucie l'a appelé aux alentours de 19h00 pour lui dire qu'elle serait de retour dans une heure. Mais depuis ce coup de fil, plus rien...

BELIEF Angelo grew up in the heart of Brooklyn, hustling to survive and support his mother and siblings. At age 20, Angelo made his way to Japan with very little means. The Roppongi nightlife offers some financial buffer until he transitions to teaching English. Angelo is a fearless self-starter with dreams of becoming a rapper/entertainer. He runs his English school now while self-producing music and entertainment videos. Angelo is a true survivor and he is indeed reaching for the stars! Link to Angelo's NEW VIDEO COMING SOON!!
Ohayo! In episode 3, I talk a bit about some of the notable venues I used to frequent in the Tokyo Metropolitan area from 02 - 08, like Club Harlem in Shibuya, and the fun behind the iconic venue, to include a unique story involving myself and a talented DJ. There are other venues I speak on like the extremely busy and packed full of people Club Nature on Saturdays in Roppongi, Warehouse 702 where I used to go very often on Wednesdays, going to 99 on Thursdays, which is from the Gaspanic chain of nightspots, and the infamous party Velfare in Roppongi, which is where I was first approached about party promotion. I then get into my first experience as an Emcee at Club B in Yokohama; that ultimately led to future gigs like hosting an Ashanti Concert in 2008, and being a party MC for Lil Jon in the same calendar year. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I mention some people that helped me along the way during this particular timeframe as far as getting added exposure. I also get into my overall mentality of how I MC, and how I conduct myself with respect to others. Once again, thanks for tuning in and enjoy!
This Sunday, the 26 May. U.S. President Trump will visit Japan for three days. Here is the itinerary of the visit. 25th of May, Air Force One will land on the Tokyo with the president and the First Lady then they will go to the Palace Hotel Tokyo straight away. Around that area, a drone is not allowed to be operated during the visit. Next day, Both leaders play golf at Mobara Country Club in Chiba. Trump and Abe are known for the golf player, last time Abe visited Trump's house, they rounded the course together. This is the Omotenashi for return. I think Abe is crushed on him. He put Trump on the Nobel Peace Prize this year. You are not listening to Fake news. The entire world realized how silly Trump is. But not Japan. After the flattery golf, two of them head off to Ryogoku Arena where May's Sumo tournament goes. 26th is the final day. So far, three wrestlers(Kakuryu, Totinoshin, and Asanoyama) are on the top list of the championship. There are two issues, sumo association is seriously concerned. Can't bring a tea for the security issue. The teapot can be dangerous. Traditionally, a tea-server comes to your place for offering tea. He wears a uniform, works for the place a long time. Harmless! He must be disappointed that not serving the tea for the big day. Trump is known for martial arts fan. So, he will watch the match in the Arena seat called Masu Seki close to the field. There is the VIP seat apart from Arena above the Masu Seki. The other issue is, Trump sits on the chair, not the traditional cushion. Because the Japanese Government concerned Trump is not used to sit cross-legged. Where is the dinner? President Obama visited Japan 2014, Abe invited him at the Sushi shop in Ginza. They drunk Sake together. Abe sometimes appears at Presidential interview with hungover. Often his “meeting” photo is leaked to the public. This time, they decided to go Yakiniku restaurant at Roppongi where American Ambassador locates on. This is the first day of Trump's visit Japan. More to come to until the last day. I'll update you the rest of days next week. More important events are coming. Official discussion at parliament, visiting the new emperor and meeting the victims of kidnapping by North Korea.
