A tribute version of the Broadway musical Wicked’s “Popular Song.” Lyrics include:
“You will be popular, the right kind of popular”
“I’ll teach you to zip your fly / You won’t be that guy with a camera down his pants.”

Nakano Broadway
Ah, Nakano Broadway! You have your own mascot Pipi, just like the Police, the Post Office, and every other institution in this lucky nation. While your showing your age, more or less the same as this author’s, your low-ceilings, lack of windows, and hundreds of tiny shops catering to local, national and international otaku (nerds) make me happy to call Nakano home. You never fail to provide an abundance of shopping, from boy-band memoriabilia to fujoshi comics, costume shops, and the home-roasted coffee from the always immaculate sisters. And the crowds you attract make me feel down right understated.
Do you have any new year’s resolutions? My number 1 resolution is to get fat. I’m also trying to improve my Japanese, learn some more about ceramics, and explore the many charms of Nakano.
Liza’s back. Again!
This is only included in this blog because it’s sooo gay and ojisan (おじさん). What could be more exciting than Liza Minnelli back on Broadway?
Scary dolls in Nakano Broadway
This is where nightmares live.
