I used to go to Atom (also Harlem), Camelot, and Ageha all the time in the early 2010s. It's unfortunate that Ageha is closed down, but glad that new clubs are opening up. I don't think i'll be clubbing any time soon as I am on my 30s now and I am busy with work unfortunately. Thank you for the updates!!

The ppl inthere were for me like im inanother World and trance was so euphoric And I became a huge psytrance lover bcs of Club atom.. I still love psy and trance and I will never forget this adventureous times of my life with Club atom ❤️ And I just realized this Video was postet on my birthday haha 🙏

Same here!!! Definitely wanna party as itll be my bday aswell,stay safe!

[@Rumham729]

TK in Shibuya is pretty fun tbh. Was out until 6am one morning. Warp has 4 floors but only one floor is open except for like Saturdays I think

[@EricaInTokyo]

I live in Tokyo. I’ve been to Ce La Vie, Atom, and Zero. Ce La Vie has a great rooftop view but it’s a bit pricey and they usually only have 1-2 bartenders. I was pickpocketed at Atom. Zero is beautiful and has amazing sound and lights but the night I went it was so packed. The main floor in the basement had way too many people, and when I wanted to leave I could barely push my way out. Some man I didn’t know had to help me get out. People were packed into the room and completely covering the staircases as well so there was no exit. It was terrifying that they let that many people in. It was incredibly dangerous.

[@Dylandesuu]

You missed the golden age of Club Ageha. I used to go to Atom when I lived there 14 years ago and it was chill back then.

[@slymeyjae]

Really enjoyed this club hopping interview thanks so much

[@Reformatt]

Great video! Time for me to update my Tokyo Nightlife Guide video as well 😎

[@craigjoiner08]

I recommend DJ Bar Bridge in Shibuya, fanatsic bar with great DJ's snd atmosphere

[@gumerzambrano]

Went to a reggaeton club called Yonaguni Fiesta and it was great . Mostly Latinos tho not many Japanese

[@wildreeds]

Takashi-san, drop your skincare routine. Prob soap+water and genetics...

[@l8bloomer]

Having very high amounts of collagen is a big help ~ Japanese have excellent skin genetics. No matter how healthy I am and how much skin care I use the fact my family is very pale (Celtic/Irish background) and I grew up in Australia with the highest UV levels in the world means it's very hard to have good skin (worst combination of environment and genetics!)

[@0nar0]

I was waiting for a club thats only mildly recommended

[@ggwp-mk4cw]

Being curies what makes it interesting ? I don't get it tbh, after 10 minutes into the club the interest goes down by every minute then it turns into torture xD Somehow everyone able to stay all night long

[@Ryousuke_071]

This is for those who are living in Japan Right now or have lived there if you want to live in Japan for at least 6 months or even much longer. Which city would be really pleasant to live in, because I just don't know where I want to go? I don't know whether I'd rather live in the city, like in Tokyo for example, or if I'd rather live in the countryside. Could someone give me some advice please?

[@brvhtxxbxk]

I heard from many people who live there,that, ofcourse in the city itll be pricey,but youre close to many things. Also depending on where you work. Many choose to live in a more quite area that is 20-30min train ride from the big city as it is more cheap and also a bit of a hideout from the busy city if u need it. I wouldnt worry too much about it, i stayed for 2 months in Bunkyo City,near Komagome station and i loved every moment of it. 15min train ride from the big cities,super calm and very pretty aswell.

Liquid Room was the Mecca of clubs at the time (late 90s to early 2000s) Like dirty, raw, fucking hardcore vibe!! Lining up to ascend those flights of graffitied walls before you entered the blackness. No gimmicks, no glitter, no confetti - and no phones!! Pure mind pleasure. Golden Age of clubbing!!!

Times have changed. (Not for the better). Tokyo once a hub of astute music, great parties and top tier international artists has now also succumb to the table booking / bottle buying commercial tackiness that dominates the US, Asia and the Middle East with its notable absence of taste and quality substituted with fake bling, ostentation, pretension and bad hiphop.
