I WILL SAY THAT I THINK THIS PLACE IS COOL, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO JAPAN ITS NOT WORTH MY TIME! I WOULD RATHER GO TO BRAZIL WHERE WOMEN WITH BEAUTIFUL FIGURES THROW THERE BODIES AT AMERICAN MEN, LIKE INDIANS IN FRONT OF A CORN FIELD, LOL!

When I was in Tokyo 2003, I didnt even know about these places. Drinking always seemed expensive over there. I saw a few of these bars on a 1up video. Im so good to you guys I even found the link.

Why do the bars get smaller and smaller as the article progresses?
Anyway, I will go to A button one day, even though I don't know japanese! And I'll also find Qunai bros. one day, even though it will take forever.

Sorry for a second post, but to mizzy: Are you on pot? Because that didn't really make sense.

I have to admit I'll probably drink more if there was gaming bars around here.

Go to hell, Cwf2008. I lost members of my family because of your f'n bomb. If you don't have a heart, at least shut up.

Anyway, domo arigatou gozaimasu for this article, GamesRadar!

PS.: For those wondering... Tokyo is evolving to a level in wich you can already live well just by speaking english. I don't know if that's good or not (for Japan, I mean), but that's pretty much it. I wish the "people of nowadays" there would care more for the beautiful japanese culture of yesterday, but at least I think that will make the world closer somehow (and here's hoping this will mean less japanese berating "gaijins").
