Monday, A Shinto Shrine in Tokyo City, Japan [Momoko's world, duh]

Jan 13, 2013 17:21

Turning twenty was a big deal in Japan. It meant that a person was no longer treated as a child in criminal proceedings, they could vote, purchase tobacco and alcohol, get married, etc. Basically it was the moment when they became the productive member of society they were always mean to be. To celebrate this occasion, because despite what people ( Read more... )

EVERYone's doing it, promise. >.>

James was NOT texting anyone. Please ignore that phone mostly hidden in his hand. Totally paying attention.

Momoko texting!

Translation: It's not about being able to buy alcohol and smoke. You have a responsibility to society that you are now able to begin fufilling.

Interesting tuidbit: This guy was arrested at least twice by my station for public drunkeness!!

Momoko had spent practically nothing on her clothes and make up, so instead she'd gone all out on reserving a karaoke room for her and her friends.

The room is large and brightly coloured. Half of the room is left as a slightly elevated stage area, the wall a screen that would show the video of whatever song was chosen. The rest of the room is for seating, a very comfortable leather bench along the walls and a giant low table covered in food sitting squarely in the middle. There were also a few tablet-looking objects that chose the songs for the karaoke machine.

COME SIIIING WITH MOMO!

"I'm not singing J-Pop. Or Country," Dinah said, grinning as she sipped her Coke. "But. Anything else? Is fair game."

Dinah snickered. "No, okay, I take it back. Not rap either. But only because I can't rap."

It was after eleven and Momoko had changed into something modern finally and dragged along anyone who was willing (and could *ahem* prove *ahem* they were twenty or older) to a club.

More specifically, to a Host Club.

A Japanese tradition, a host club was an upscale bar staffed solely by cute and flirty men, where women could go and drink and be listened to and be treated like they were the most precious things on earth. As long as they bought drinks.

Momoko had been dying to try one forever!

"So, from what I understand, we get a table and then a bunch of the hosts come over and introduce themselves and we can flirt and have fun and buy them drinks and stuff, and then at the end of the night we can pick our favourites and if we come back they'll be our designated hosts!" Momoko explained, bouncing as she walked backwards towards the brightly lit building with photos of handsome young men covering the walls.

"Sooooo we're just kind of... hitting on them? And flirting and all?" Dinah asked, way curious. "A lot of these guys look like Boy Band members."

"EXACTLY! Well, they're supposed to flatter and flirt with us. Isn't that awesome! It's like, a total license to just have fun with no complications!"

She turned to look at the photos. "Huh. They kind of do look... alike? But maybe they look better in person? Oooh. He's kinda cute!" She pointed to a smaller photo with not as many stars around it. "And it's not like we're dating them. We're just here to get hit on!"

"Point," Dinah said, amused. If Momoko *noticed* more often when guys were hitting on her in the States, this probably wouldn't be so interesting to her... then again, so many guys were bad at it. "Welllll, I say we meet a few, and whoever's most tolerant of my near-total-lack of useful Japanese at least gets a nod."
