My Yakuza Experience 7/27/07
So its a Friday night, and my friend from the state came in on Monday to visit me in Tokyo.
I have a extra room in my apartment so hes staying with me. Friday comes along and we decide to go to Roppongi to meet up with my friend Hiro and Bill who work at Sheesha Bar. We always get vip and comped drinks. Ive been comming here for a year and never seen Vip so empty and my friend Hiro tells me the vip has been reserved. So Midnight rolls by and me and Tony are still sitting in Vip talking to Bill and Hiro. Then it happens, we see around 8 men in suits come in with 1 girl. Im sitting facing towards my friend Tony who is one seat away from one of the Yakuza. Hiro leans over and tells me, there gansters, but its cool they never start trouble. OMFG this is sweet im sitting in VIP with Yakuzas... so the night goes on and they have bottles of Moet flying around passing around drinks! Me and Tony get Free Champagne and they start spraying bottles of Moet on each other. One of them accidentally sprays me a lil bit and one of the guys comes over apologizes and gives us more Free Champagne. By now their all soaked in Moet and taking off their shirts and partying really hard. Hiro tells me their on drugs like coke and E. Every single one of them has tattoos goin from their shoulders down their arms and all over their backs. By far the coolest night i've experienced in Tokyo. Hiro tells me they only come out once every few months and he introduced me and Tony as his friends from the states so we were cool to stay in Vip. At first i thought they were sallery men, but sallery men do not wear sunglasses at night and i didnt belive Hiro until they took their shirts off. By far and outrageous night. Personally i Do not smoke weed but i was passed a joint by one of them and that was pretty crazy. doin stuff like that in clubs is totally taboo but they pretty much did every thing they wanted. at the end of the night Vip looked like a train wreck. sooo thats my Yakuza Experience |
Maybe u should get more sprayed w/ bottles of moet xD
that's an interesting friday night..we should go out sometime xD j/k |
that sounds sweet!
|
haha wow. how fun that sounds!
|
Wow, pretty cool for sure. I guess they like to have fun just like everyone else. I remember hearing somewhere that Yakuza buy they clothes from a special mail order business, I can't remember what it's called, but it's extremely fashionable- did you notice if the Yakuza were wearing fashionable clothes?
|
Yakuza,it's the japanese version of "The Mob" right?Well,at least like you said,they never start trouble,so my respects to them!:D
|
Wow, that sounds cool bro...
|
they were all wearing pretty fashionable suits.
they dont start any trouble from what i hear but they party hardcore, smashing champagne classes and spraying it all over the place. stuff that normal people would get kicked out for |

But no one would ever dare to kick them out for that,right? |
It's cool to see the fun side of that life, for a night... sounds like it is in the movies... very glamourous: drugs, alcohol, VIP treatment, no rules. I would say you are lucky that no one got hurt...and that you didn't have to clean up the mess.
|
ummm..do u look up to them or something cuz it looks like as if u do. They're just no good gangstas
|
Wow, the Yakuza! That's crazy :eek:

i had a great time and it was just a story that i thought i would share. stop being a party pooper |
Just adding as french we normally don't spoil Moët et Chandon spreading all this good stuff on people like this :mad:
In the other hand, as I like Nihonshû very well, and as sake is expensive in France, I don't spoil it too :) So in either case I would be skeptical after all, I know a bit yakusa's stories (even if I don't like Fukasaku's movies...) but the fact to spoil good things is strange for me... |

It's kind of wierd quoting such an old comment, but... Gang types are diverse, and may exist for different reasons and purposes. I've known several individuals that were involved in the Mafia, or in Gangs, that were intelligent and respectable people. Of course, I didn't exactly agree with the choices they'd made in life, but they were still human. |
wow that sound like an awsome night now i wanna visit tokyo even more
|
WHOAHHH sounds crazy
i had a yakuza experience too! it was.... not like your story though loll and it wasn't exactly "yakuza" since it was in korea. Korean gangsters are very.... strange. Somewhat like how movies portray them at the same time, nothing like how the movies portray them. The ones I saw were karaoking and crying with one another.... i swear they were gangsters though lol |
Wow :eek: Amazing.

well they could of kicked them but that would of caused a hell of alote of trouble and Hiro's sushi shop would be no more >.> but yeah that would be a pretty awsome expirence to have |

Not all people that are a part of the Yakuza are bad people sure they took a different path then what other people would.....really all they are is a group of people that have power and want to have a good time......not go out and rob shops... like in this story they were a bunch of gentlemen and aploigized all they were out for was a good tim in a VIP sushi bar. :vsign: |
Haha that is awesome, i am always watching films with Yakuza and Triads in and obviously the film usually depicts their lives to be full of partying hot girls and a lot of fighting.
You should of asked for their myspace addresses ^^ *Imagines what a Yakuza's myspace would be like* Also i do not think Yakuza's should really be classed as gangsters anymore would it not be better calling them 'Business Men who may have attitude problems or persuasive friends' Will. |
