Day 4 & 5: Nuclear & Rest
After arriving back from the West, the next few days were rest & relaxation... Gappy & Pierre slept most of the time on monday waking up between aftershocks (news says Japan had over 300 aftershocks since 3/11 & counting)...
On tuesday, I showed them around Yokohama station but everything seemed to be closed or justnot as happening as usual. Yokohama had some damage especially in front of Daiei. Gappy & Pierre really hadn't seen any part of what is considered "Japan"; for example, electronic stores, temples, shrines, shibuya, etc.. The earthquake kind of stopped those actions as well as the rolling blackouts and fear of nuclear radiation that was spreading throughout Japan... the "fear" not the radiation.
Daiei @ Yokohama Station
We did manage to hit up Yodobashi Camera which satisfied their "gadget" addiction for the time being... all good artists need a MacBook Pro.. lol.
After Yokohama Station, everyone just rested again since nothing was happening in the surrounding cities... night life almost was non-existent in Tokyo & Yokohama.

Day 3: Nishinari - Nagoya - Yokohama
After the show in Osaka, we woke up and headed back to the studio to voice a few more dubs. Sounds who were at the show wanted to voice some extras after hearing Gappy wail out da big tunes!!! brapppp!!!
We linked with Osaka artist Bear Man and he was kind enough to lace us with some "Washiha" gear from his shop HOPE ROAD.
After finishing the dubs we headed over to Nishinari to link with Bigga-C at Chucky's legendary Wada shop!!!
In the evening we decided to head to Nagoya and link with the promoter Hayassen from Totalize. Even though the Nagoya show was cancelled due to the vibe of the earthquake, sounds still wanted to voice some dubs. Work is never done!!
Double J International in Nagoya
Once the dubs were done, we journeyed back to Yokohama. We finally reached back in the morning around 6am. Give thanks for early check in!!
Monday 3/14, everyone rested and did nothing most of the day. I think it was the first time Gappy & Pierre from Special Delivery finally got a decent sleep since arriving.
Otsukare!!!
