So I firstly flew to Hong Hong, stayed there 2 weeks and went to Tokyo just for 5 days. Would have stayed much longer if only I hadn't blown my creditcard limit up...Anyway I met up with my Japanese friend at the Asagaya Station in the evening and the next day we went to the Fuji Rock Festival. We took the Shinkansen to Naeba. But things didn't go ( Read more... )

Did you see any more gigs? 80 euro is a lot of money... :)

Only Asian Kung-Fu Generation, The Cribs, Jet and Franz Ferdinand. The plan was going to catch both Dirty Pretty Things and Gnarls Barkely but due miscalculation of the queueing time for the merchandise we missed both bands.
There were a lot more other international/national acts but the distance between the stages were also too far to walk if an average set is only 40 minutes.

Listening to Jet was a long torture to me but they're apparently big in Japan. When I got back in HK I'd discovered the Coopers had played another set after midnight on an other stage and they also played a DJ set at the festival site. And another DJ set in a small club in Tokyo. AAHHHHHHH I was so close... :*(

Sorry rambling over.
