Kabukicho Dancing show

The manger makes a trick for me to be a birthday gal! :P

Most tourists go to Kabuki-cho (歌舞伎町) only for taking photos of the landmark sign. Though they rarely explore the nightlife there because there are hardly any English sings. Instead, many sexy photos of women or even men displays there. Sometimes I do doubt what their business really is. Therefore, non- Japanese prefers nightlife at Roppongi. Some of them may feel more comfortable with its western style.

However, my impression towards Kabukicho has slightly changed today. I went to a club called Black Swan Lake where I saw a "New Half" transsexual show. It's similar to New Half show at Pattaya. There were many female customers, though I may be the only non-Japanese customer. I do think it would be a good sightseeing spot.

I took the best seat right in front of the stage. The setting of the stage was very cool, even it was small, but it could move up and down, as well as those concert stage. The dancers' costumes such as double faced jacket, contemporary kimono and many interesting props, are beautifully made. The funniest thing was a customer was invited on the stage and surprisingly he could dance Latin dance. The spotlight also went on him afterwards.

Since I couldn't take any photos during the show, the club manager made a trick to say that was my birthday. So after the show, I could go on the stage for taking a photo with the dancers. The Japanese are always generous! I chatted with some dancers. They were very interesting too. In fact, some dancers were not transsexual. Though I heard that there were two shows a day and the second one may include more lady boys. Also one says the show there changes every three months.
