The Performing Arts
August 04, 2008
I love visiting Tempozan every now and then. It’s always bustling with activity and seeing the harbor always reminds me of home. The big mall is filled with strange and interesting stores. This time You-san and I visited a ninja store and I was half tempted to try out the ninja house, where you try to sneak about undetected. It’s for kids so we decided not to embarrass ourselves too much. He did however, embarrass himself by freaking out at a samurai dummy that sits up and down every few seconds. Never have I seen a grown man jump and scream like that.
There’s always some sort of performance going on in the area. Today we caught some strange spectacles. A man dressed in aluminum sucks on a lemon and lipsynchs to Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You. Then as we were cooling off at the juicebar in the center of the mall we see a trio of Japanese performers with hair that makes Marge Simpson cringe.
