Hitting Tokyo Late April

[Heath]

Hi there....

I'm hitting Tokyo late April and have a pretty good idea of stuff I want to see but, I'd like to find a Model shop. Like the Remote Control car kind of model. If anyone knows of one I'd love to know where it is.

Also - heaven forbid but I'd love to also see an authentic Tokyo karaoke bar. Are there any that stand out as being better than others? I will be in Shijuku.

Cheers

i don't know much about the remote control stuff other than the little tanks i bought last time i was there (which btw i got at a toy store in harajuku, which is past the condom store on the right if you are walking away from the station).

as for karaoke, when i was hanging out with some friends from there we just walked around the place that we were drinking and/or clubbing and went in.

i went to one in roppongi and one in shibuya. the one in roppongi was really weird looking with lots of black and organic shapes ala geiger. in shibuya it was more of a chain.

both were lots of fun. it was right after the movie "lost in translation" came out and i was singing "more than this" every chance i got. i think i was the only one entertained though... ;-)
