I agree completely.

A lot of foreign tourist information things indicate that these are the places for "lively nightlife". Unfortunately they don't exactly define that term all that well. So some tourists are misled into those areas. So I think the reason it gets discussed so much is to warn off people a bit.

I'm guessing Kabuki-cho has to be one of the largest "red light" districts in the world........ with legal and illegal all happening up-front and side-by-side.

I too like Ueno and Asakusa a lot.

best,
