Nishi Azabu is home to a kind of popular-ish bar that some of my friends frequent called Super Deluxe:

Of course, I've had the name 'super deluxe' for years, and a google search brings up me at #1 and the bar at #2 (smart google!), so I don't mind all that much. Seems like a nice place, after all...
BTW, random question time: What kind of pics do you guys want to see more of here? As you've probably noticed, I like taking pics of Japan. I don't usually go out of my way to get a shot, but if I see something cool during my travels, I'll try to capture it. So what do you want to see? Drop me a comment and let me know!

Like your site here, and in response to the question, basically anything would do.
For those of us who dig info about Japan but are nowhere near it, any picture Japanese is quite comforting.
At least that's how I feel. ^^
Thanks, really appreciate it.
your naked pics.. what else???
Posted by: yuki at August 24, 2003 01:02 AMI'd like to see more everyday street shots. I'm thinking about moving to Japan after graduation and I'd like to see shots of just everyday life. the market, the corner, the train, the elevator, the whatever. know what I mean? it's one of the reasons I'm reading blogs like yours; to try and get a feel for what it's like to live there. your perspective provides something I think books and other resources cannot. thanks in advance.
Posted by: Fleischman at August 24, 2003 07:09 AMPictures of the Japan skyline would be nice or of the crowded streets. I'm a gaming fanatic, so I have to ask for a couple shots of Akihabara. If that's too specific, then here's a couple more items -
Restaurants
the various train lines
Japan at night
Your own room
That's all I can really think of right now. Just a few suggestions, but enough to keep you busy for a little while I'm sure. :)
I second Akihabara.
Graffiti of any kind.

Posted by: tim at August 25, 2003 05:19 PMI want to see more giant robot suits. And more girls with pink hair and weird scanty body armour. ^_^
Yeah more 'urban' shots. I love pics of neon. And shots of busy streets in the rain too.
Posted by: theblacklocust at August 26, 2003 02:26 AM>What kind of pics...?
Landscapes... Maybe some night pictures, too. Isn't Japan super hi-tech? I'm sure there are some rad-lookin', fluorescent signs. Also, if it's not too much trouble... Maybe you could snap a few pictures of Godzilla for me?
Posted by: ethic at August 26, 2003 03:17 PMOh some pics of the various different strands of youth subcultures too would be groovy! We see plenty of crazy cosplay kids all over the net, but hardly ever see what else is going on in the cities as far as music/culture is concerned.

Posted by: Andrew at August 27, 2003 02:11 AMI second the "everyday street shots" request. I miss Shinjuku-----!!!
Posted by: Alitak at August 28, 2003 01:53 AMThanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'll do my best to get some cool shots. :)
