An actual update..... must force myself to this more often.
Probably the best hair i've seen in a few months. The picture doesn't show the full glory, it was pretty breathtaking in person. Couldn't get more than one picture, it would have been awkward. lol.
I can't believe i'm actually about to rant against para. So on saturday, instead of going to ID or Ozon, the clubs we usually frequent, we went to Platinum ( http://platinum-jp.jp/nagoya/index.html ) for a friend's bday. It was really fun and they played alot of good dance music - Hiphop, Disco, alot hyper tranceeven some few Euro/Techno. For me it was heaven, I get some para and I get my hiphop. But as the night wore on, the mood started changing..
I felt really bad for everyone, my friends especially, because they played so much hyper trance!! lol. people started getting really pissed because they couldn't dance during the techno sections. I don't do trapara, so i couldn't dance much either. One thing I never noticed before now was the fact that since i'm usually dancing at events, I've never felt the exclusionary power of parapara. It's pretty strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sucks to be on the outside. Anyways, It was not a para event, it was just a regular club but the techno section( oldies included) was all para. First of all, I realize there was so much para in the club because there were sooooooo many hostess and i'm sure a few hosts. The club crowd was a bit older, lots of salarymen, etc and men who looked like they had alot of money, so it makes sense that the hostess would come out to play as well. Also the club was smack dab in the middle of the kabakura disctrict.
Back to para... It these people wanna para why they don't they come to the regular para events. Most of them were crap, but some were actually really good. I guess I must be a para purist because I feel you can still enjoy para without messing it up for everyone else. It was soo meiwaku. Perhpas these people weren't dancing because they liked it or consider themselves paralists, but because it was a good excuse to get on the stages and bounce around in a little dress...
I can see how tourists or gaikokujin who go out clubbing may end with a bad image of para. I mean in para events, they sometimes warn you it's para but here nothing. lol.
P.S There are probably so many typos and grammar mistakes in this post. Sorry
