This is what we do to celestials. The guy Nathan is kicking in the balls is named Party Boy. He was the most awesome Japanese dude we met. He was always wearing traditional Japanese dress and had a samurai haircut. This was at a gas station. (Click “more” for six more photos)

Super wasted with the locals at a Yakitori bar after our first Tokyo show. Hanging out with old people is way more fun than hanging out with Marines. Pictured here are Mr. Yoshi and his beautiful wife, and some other dude eating chicken cartilage and beef heart stew, and drinking sake on the street at 2 a.m. Not pictured is Mr. Saito, the “famous Japanese artist.”

Apparently, this chick is the generic gothic type in Japan. These kids dye their faces dark and dress like anime characters. Even Japanese people do stupid s–t sometimes!

Osaka show. All the shows in Japan were packed and crazy.

Osaka street scene. The most people in public I have ever seen in my life. Totally overwhelming and totally awesome.

Group shot in the ancient Samurai Village. Us, Taken, and Evylock from Japan (who organized our Japan tour). This is also where they filmed “Karate Kid 2″

Last night of tour party in Shibuya, Tokyo. Nathan making Troy from Taken and Nick from Taken/Circa Survive very, very happy. After this was shot, an ottoman was thrown and a glass table was shattered. We had to leave.
