Mike- Hey, am sure we can work something out. Always wonder when you mention haikyo- I think you’ve done some in the uk, is that right?- if you have photos. I look on your blog but find nothing. Are they somewhere to be found?

*Waves frantically* Don’t forget me! ^^;

Seriously though, loving your stuff as always. I hope we get a chance to meet sometime in the near future after I move to Japan this Summer. I will be near Nagoya though.

Lee- Definitely a haikyo together, just got to either get some fresh tip-offs for a local-ish area, or push the boundaries a bit further out. First through the door, easily solved- enter via different doors simultaneously. Synchronize watches! Love Hotel info sounds good for sure, much appreciated.

Japanese Eye- Hmm, have I seen that movie? Perhaps not. Sounds interesting though…

Love that picture of the telephone, it just reminds me of the film Audition, just need a body in a sack behind it!

Yeah, and I have a terrible feeling I’ll be Scott…

We’ll definitely have to do a haikyo together some time. One that neither of us has been to. Don’t know how we’d decide who’d be first through the door though!

Actually went to a haikyo I stumbled across by chance yesterday. A love hotel that wasn’t abandoned that long ago at all, although luckily it did have a fair bit of character. Plus there was a car parked on the premises forcing us to creep around secretively which added to the fun.

I’ll post pics this week and if you are interested I’ll give you directions.

Lee- True, I can’t begrudge you the odd one Though it seems now that you’re upping the pace- we’re like Scott and Amundsen racing each other for the South Pole, with the Pole I guess being unauthorized access to Gunkanjima…

Can Mike- I felt it added to the ambience of the piece. Tea is so, how can I say, authentic?

Tornadoes- Your guess is as good as mine buddy.

Jason- I had more video of us inside the place, but it’s really not very interesting. The hatch was definitely the best thing about it. If I could’ve got a loudspeaker to work, that would’ve made it awesome. But, ah well…

Can, please elaborate on the weird and fat UK is getting.

Looks like a good haikyo find, especially for the random one. The hatch was cool as well as the frescoes.

As always, more video, was surprised it cut out so soon.

What does the paper in the sink say?

It’s possible we were talking about how weird and fat you’re getting yes, but the idea that we were drinking vending machine tea is pure fiction.

Glad to see I was given credit for the haikyo call!
