The show was awesome and in English in case you were wondering. There were screens set up with "subtitles" for the Japanese speakers to read. I was curious how people in Japan would react to the show since it is about segregation in the 1960s since 99.9% of Japan is Japanese, they've never really had as many race issues as America has. I have learned since though, that the Japanese do have race issues against the Koreans. In fact, a few thousand of the people killed in Hiroshima were actually Korean forced labor.Of course, there were many jokes that Gizelle and I were the only ones laughing at, but that is to be expected. I'm not so sure how "acne of the heart" translates in to Japanese. :)
Cheers to date night! We went to a fun asian fusion restaurant near Shinjuku station before the show called Ken's Chanto dining which was so good! We left a little late so we had to rush through dinner to make it to the show on time, but the waitress understood so we zoomed in and out in 45 minutes. I had a scallop and grapefruit salad that was amazing and we shared a octopus gratin. For my main course I had couscous stuffed chicken. Yummy!
During intermission Gizelle and I expected a bar or drink or something, but in true Japanese style, all they had were vending machines. The Japanese put everything in vending machines- I've seen soup and fresh vegetables for example. We we found a coffee machine and the ice cream machine and enjoyed dessert before the second half of the show. I'm eating a waffle filled with chocolate ice cream in case you can't tell.Maybe I'll have another real date night with Glenn when he gets home, but Gizelle is a pretty good substitute! :)
