Dude then you know what I'm talking about!!

So obsessed with that band.
I'll do some research on Hokkaido and Kyushu. Thanks for the heads up.
Do you know of any places to live in the country side just outside of Osaka you mentioned? The three times I've been to Japan I was pretty much just holed up in a studio jamming with people in Osaka/going to shows so I'm not sure whats really going on outside of the metropolis.
Anyone else with advice feel free to contribute I'd greatly appreciate it! I love this forum.
