Hi Alex Yeah Womb is pretty big, and isn't the Liquid room still open? Anyway my recommendation is to go to either Disk Union or Cisco and just pick up some flyers. I remember seeing some bigger clubs on them.. but I can't recall right now what they were.
I put up some info here http://www.technotourist.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file=index&action=viewtopic&topic=97&1 Yeah I don't know any mags that do reviews in English, but I know of Shift www.shift.jp.org which is a design mag which is bilingual and has lots of links etc. so there might be something there that is electronic music related, but not necessarily techno related. Japan would be more fun if you know someone, but i think you can get around ok and it wouldn't be that much diff to begin say, in another foreign country where english isn't the first language. Most people know a bit of english (even if they don't speak it well or pretend not to) and signs are in english and it's easy to get around.

The language barriers are very profound. Disk Union is the best store that I could find and even had a wall dedicated to Movement. The Tower Records in Shibuya was great for electronic music and urban and soul. There is an English language mag Metropolis which is more lifestyle. I like Remix magazine but can only look at it and is probably best for electronic reviews. I found it frustrating not being able to converse, though I tried with my dodgy phrase book. I didn't go out much, stayed in reading Thomas Hardly which didn't do much to alleviate my spirits. Wonderful country, but would have been more fun if I'd had company methinks! One night I went to a club-cum-design store called Sputnik which was great. > It's one of those days where I just rattle on to myself. > Oh well. > > Anyway, can anyone help me? > > Have you ever been to Japan? > > What are the music magazines that do techno reviews in Japan? > > What are the large clubs there? > I notice that club "womb" seems to have been going for a while.
