A friend, Dawn Lintern, who is the lead singer in a band called Das Fluff (dasfluff.com) is currently on tour in Tokyo and posted these wonderful first impressions of Japan on her Facebook page. I asked if I could share it here. If you've never been to Japan - this conjures up just the right image I think...
"Fish
that's still jumping when it gets delivered to the restaurant, Geisha
girls with slimy business men, cigarette smoke, cherry blossom,
litter-free streets, teenage girls dressed like 5 year olds, courtesy,
friendliness, modesty, non-agressive driving, orderly queues, Asahi,
being treated like a pop goddess (for one night, at least), dogs in
sunglasses, an insanely efficient transport service, soundchecks that
run to schedule and the worst cover version of Karma Police ever. I
don't want to go back to London."
