Well, I knew I’d forget to write about something. One of the oddest moments we had in Japan was in the Akihabara district of Tokyo. We were a tad lost and trying to find the correct subway rail system. There were people crammed in all over the place and we were in an underground subway.
Suddenly, we could hear singing and we recognized the song. It wasn’t unusual to hear American music in Japan. In fact, we heard more of that than anything else. But this was different. This was the Battle Hymn of the Republic… being sung in by a bunch of very high voices that sounded like the Chipmunks, with a Japanese accent.
My g/f and I just looked at each other and we both could see the “WTF” look in each other’s eyes. It was pretty surreal…
