Shinjuku night out with Acekay and Yuka-Ryder. Acekay is the lead singer and Yuka-Ryder plays the drums for Catsuomatic Death. They took us on a wonderfully fun night out roaming around the Shinjuku Redlight District: walking past Love Hotels, Visual-Kei band looking escort services, gay bars, carnival games and Japanese 100 Yen stores.

A sushi diner snack. Dishes of fresh sushi made to order. Unfortunately, no sushi for the preggers. However, in Japan, the doctors actually prescribe more sushi eating during pregnancy. This anti-sushi thing sounds like an insult to the Japanese. I'll have to do more research on this while I'm here. Johnny thought the giant clam and squid were best.
We entered into a "Jungle-Style" 100 Yen Japanese Store. This place was packed to the ceiling, not only with strange knick-knacks, but with people.
