Fuk 8/07 - pt 4 - Mega-Trance

Sorry for the delay in my Japan blogs!  As you can see from my recent blogs, things have been very hectic since I came back from that trip! And this blog had a video to edit....

Anyway, this is from a fun clubbing event I caught last last Saturday night.  Once a month, a group puts on an event called 'Mega-Trance',  which I used to attend regularly when I was living there.  This is the Fukuoka version, they actually do them in many different cities throughout Japan on different weekends.... The venue is not fancy (at all),  but the crowd that comes out is fun.

ごめん！遅過ぎよ！ビデオの準備したから、次の日本旅行ブログ遅書いた！今回福岡のメガ-トランスパティを参加した！

My last year in Japan a local friend introduced me to this wonderful world of pop culture:  the 'Para Para' / 'Euro Trance' scene(s).  For those who aren't familiar, these people are closely related to the 'ganguro' or 'gyaru' fashion subcultures in Japan....  basically Japanese people with BIG, bleached hair and tanned, dark skin...   (it ranges from the mild to the extreme)... who like to dance strangely to electronic music...

Rejects from society you say?  People devoted to out-of-date music and dancing you say?  well you may be right... but they're actually nice people and relatively friendly...  they don't give a crap about meeting foreigners or getting wasted,  just about the music and the dancing and the fun.

僕の最後年日本に住んでいた時、このトランスエベント見つけました、日本人友達は福岡のトランスとパラパラエベントを教えた。この人とても面白い！普通”外人・バー”人より良人ですよ。服と髪面白いけど、もとフレンドリーし親切し。

To give you a better idea, here's the video:　もちろんビデオを撮った。見てください！
