Wow. Hello and welcome to the Broad and Japan podcast.

Probably the best way of learning about life in Japan,

but actually being in Japan.

I'm your host Chris Broad and we're joined as always by England's being in Japan. I'm your host Chris Borne, we're joined as always by England's top in Japan enthusiast. I nearly bungled my lines there, but I didn't. Pete, how you doing? I made it through the intro. I can do it. Topo Japan. Oh, Chris Chris we're recording us on a Friday I don't mind

admitting and I do feel incredibly jealous of the possibility of you sat there in

your studio in Tokyo you could go out at any more to

like right now and you could just roll into the love hotel district of

Shibuya and just get absolutely blasted drunk and have a right old bloody good evening I'm so

jealous of you right now because here I live in deepest darkest Essex and

admittedly I am going into London tonight for a booze up but it won't be as

as good as your booze up that you could have in

in that there shmouya. I don't about that. Well actually yeah you're right Japan is

better for that. I do enjoy a night out in Japan a lot more than the UK. I love pubs right? I

I fucking miss pubs so much but just the bar culture, the nightlife culture here

you know. Go to like two or three bars, go karaoke, get it Iza Kaya, go to late night ramen.

There's like a procedure for a good night out in Japan, whereas in the UK you've got to wing it.

And you usually end up in some sort of shite nightclub playing dubstep music or some crap.

Yeah, I don't miss that.

They miss that at all.

You know I really want, I really want a bloody Martini.

I want a Martini with an olive in it and I want a quiet nice quiet sort of

cocktail bar in Shabuia and I want to sit down and I want to smell a smoke
