Tokyo A Go Go

5 nights in Tokyo, then 5 in Kyoto, 2 near Mt. Fuji, then another 5 at some yet-to-be-determined surf destination, then back to Tokyo for 3 more nights. Return to SFO Oct 7.
Hot spots in Tokyo: Shinjuku, Akihabara, Shibuyu, Ebisu, Roppongi, Harajuku, Ginza.
It’s amazing that as huge and monstrously chaotic as the city of Tokyo is, the center is all within about a 5mi radius. For a kick, poke around Tokyo in Google Earth. I’ve never seen a city plan so organic and crazy. Makes me think of Tetsuo.
OMFG! I can’t wait!
I’ve ordered the Fostex FR2-LE CF recorder. I’m still researching mics (and wondering if I could possibly afford the awesome DSM’s) but the plan is to have the field rig while in Japan. I hope to make lots of recordings – some of which will be used in music projects and some of which I’ll post here for re-use. Sweeeeet.
