All in all, I don&#8217;t think it was much bigger than previous ones, but its epicenter being very close made a difference. Seems it registered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkei.co.jp\/news\/main\/20050723NT001Y91823072005.html\">an upper 5<\/a> (on the Japanese scale) in some areas near Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Being on the first floor of my small two-stories apartment building, all books and loose objects safely tucked into their shelves (I learned my lessons from previous times), I didn&#8217;t have a lot to feed my imagination on and wasn&#8217;t overly worried, past the initial surprise (feeling the earth move when you haven&#8217;t even had your first Gin Tonic of the day, will always get you at first).

An interesting mix of edgy MTV-style editing (well, the good sort of MTV-style editing) with typical tongue-in-cheek multi-culti humour, mixed in with long bouts of pure surf psychedelia. Only serious reproach: could have been made a tad shorter. Shooting for a feature-length was, imho, a bit ambitious, as some of the latter scenes tended to lack the tight editing that made the beginning a truly good indy movie.<\/p>\n<p>But overall: good-humoured story-telling, cool music, casual vibe in the club during and after the screening all contributed to an awesome evening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/tag\/hako\">Hako<\/a> wrote a really cool entry about Friday night in her <a href=\"http:\/\/mixi.jp\/view_diary.pl?id=27685795&#038;owner_id=1012556\">Mixi diary<\/a>, copied <a href=\"https:\/\/unknowngenius.com\/blog\/archives\/2005\/07\/24\/mid-week-end-round-up\/jp\/\">here<\/a> with her permission, for the benefit of non-mixi users. Can&#8217;t really be arsed to translate it at the mo, but heartily recommend you put in the reading effort if you have some basic kanji skills: it&#8217;s quite funny and an interesting read.<\/p>\n<p>Actually glad we didn&#8217;t elect to follow the group to Odaiba for an all-night rave party, despite the promise of cool music and a comfy tent if we needed a rest, I&#8217;m quite happy being back in my bed for a long night sleep now.
