Day 2 - Host Bars

Mentioned these before, as the equivalent to hostess bars for women. Men decked in enourmous hair-dos prowl the streets trying to pick up women who are out with their friends. They then take them back to their host-bar where the girls spend over £30 per drink.

The hair-dos can make the establishments look like hair-salons, and I wouldn't be surprised if more than one had been walked into by some non-Kanji reading tourist, looking for a perm.

This is "Top Dandy" Masato, on a huge billboard about a club. It seems that he has also written a poem about his job.

Hurried city
Season that passes at quick pace

I am waiting for you
It keeps waiting without dividing in
this conduct oneself indefinitely...
