Sunday Afternoon of Free Performances


These are 50s style rockers, and they looked like they were in the 30s or 40s. They gather every weekend in Yoyogi Park near Harajuku Station in Tokyo.

This is Transistor Kiraku, or so the leaflet she handed me says. I am not sure exactly what she is or does. Maybe I don't want to know.


This band was one of a dozen or so lining the sidewalk outside Yoyogi Park. I liked this band best, though the sounds all sort of merged because of their close proximity.



This solo act was the most visually interesting.




Not in Yoyogi Park, but at a mall in Harajuku. The artist drew the geisha while a band played some funky music above.

Harajuku Girls!


I am thinking of Violet, the very genki student in my Japanese elective class, who loves Harajuku. I visited that fun section of Tokyo -- my guide book says it is for the spendy and trendy -- and took many photos. For now, however, I must resort to some found through Google images as I am using a 100 yen per 15 minutes machine in the hotel lobby in Yokohama. Whoops. I can't understand the kanji on this computer to know how to upload a photo. Mata ne?
