Been here twice, it's a really fun time. A little over 30 bucks for a show and unlimited drinks.

I just barely didn't finish the 50 chest press challenge. In my defense, I was jet lagged from just barely getting to Japan.

When I didn't finish it, I trained for months because I knew I had a return trip with friends.

I got there, they changed locations in the sane building but on the lower floor. Beat it this time no problem.

But the 1000 yen prize was not to be had. First time clients only...

Oh well. Maru, our muscle girl, was hot, and an amateur wrestler apparently.

Please tell me more about Tokyo bars. In detail.

I avoid most bars. You're paying a lot extra for the companionship, and overpriced alcohol.

The muscle girl bar is a bit different. The girls actually enjoy what they do, rather than put up with you for the hour they're paid to.

I'd avoid most girl bars in general. I'm actually in Tokyo on a solo trip as I type this. If you want sexy girls, Asakusa Rockza in Asakusa is fun. A burlesque/strip show. No audience interaction, just watching. Like most choreographed burlesque shows but with a lot more butthole involved.

Bars, stick to high end eateries. Great alcohol selections at fantastic prices.

Like most choreographed burlesque shows but with a lot more butthole involved.

Is the butthole more involved behind the scenes, like in set design and script writing?

Also, this is not a sentence I expected to see today, but I feel richer for it.

Fully nude strip shows and the women don't mind showing every waxed centimeter.

I tried Shinjuku New Art that is featured in the show Midnight Diner. Ick. Small, smells weird, girls learn a weekend choreographed dance number to strip to and then get tips at the end.

Asakusa Rockza is much larger, has a big stage, still smells funny, but the shows are fully choreographed, one had full 3D projection on stage which was cool. The curtains were closed and a pencil sketch girl was dancing until the curtains opened and a girl in the same exact outfit was following the same dance routine.

Then buttholes.

still smells funny

Wax it. Wipe it. The smell still arrives.

It is inevitable.

Tbf 30 bucks doesn't sound like all that much.

Exchange rate is why people are flocking to Japan now. I've been going since it was an expensive tourist destination. Today I just ate a 60 dollar sushi dinner that would have cost about $150 back in California

Tokyo has a bar for everything. A friend of mine was really into a maid bar where the maids pretended they were androids.

How much weight is the chest press set at?

35

u/Sega-Playstation-64May 01 '24

Can't remember, looked like 10kg weights. Which isn't much but 50 adds up quickly. Most people can't do it. They lessen the weight for women

u/banmeharder616May 01 '24

I imagine it's because most people aren't used to doing 50 reps of anything. Would be keen to give it a try though

12.5 what? Squirrels? Half-filled beer glasses? Cubbies full of used underwear?

I was in Japan about a year ago and went here as our first stop after getting off the plane, same as you. I didn't think to use that as my excuse to not hit the 50 reps, haha. I'll have to go back and conquer it to truly follow in your foot steps!

But yeah, the place is fun. Almost immediately after walking in I was drenched in fresh grapefruit pulp from a nearby powerful woman. Just fyi, though, not sure if you noticed this but they were live streaming the entire time. There's a camera fixed behind the bar with a screen that shows the live stream. I didn't care, but some people aren't cool with stuff like that.

Reminds me of nearly 20 years ago I won an izakaya raffle night prize of two VIP tickets to a women’s wrestling show. I wrote it off as a bad prize and went in with no expectations but it remains one of the most fun live events I’ve ever attended.

u/ViridianBSMay 01 '24

when you say 50 chest press, do you mean 50lbs bench? 50 reps? 50kg?

u/Sega-Playstation-64May 01 '24
