Still free time, this time in Nagoya!
We take advantage of this to visit the city's castle and to continue our wild shopping while the Japanese summer, hot and humid without belief, makes any movement very hard and unbearable... In the evening, after having eaten at a classical restaurant (Katsudon power, make up!) we head off to the karaoke to better end this day.
Shigehiro, a nice native met by the guys who are the Italian team's supporters (good old Roberto, Amon & Paolo, Francesca's boyfriend) joins us.
Another memory I'll be bringing home is certainly...
THE DRUM
Such is the Taiko No Tatsujin called, a very fashionable videogame, where one beats the rhythm of the chosen song on classical Japanese drums.
As in these type of simulators there are obviously different types of combo to carry out depending on the face of the stamp that appears on the screen and different levels.
Even the choices of songs varied; lots of j-pop but also lots of anime themes (we had much fun on the notes of Lupin, Uruseyatsura, Hokuto no Ken...), something international and different classics (like the Italian Funiculi' funiculaaaa)
The Italian team became addicts of The Drum and more than once made spectacles of ourselves in front of astonished Japanese.
When we were starved of this game we would wander around the streets of Nagoya and Tokyo obsessingly repeating T_A_M_B_U_R_O (Italian for drum) which sounds like a Japanese word so much that we wondered what it meant "wonder if tamburo really means something in Japanese and we're drifting aimlessly screaming something like "AntiPanic Handle" *_*
