Whew, I was terrified of this one.  Filmed this back in September of 2015.  My friend owns this bar in Asagaya, Tokyo.  As you can see it's just full of otaku toys , including anime and tokusatsu stuff.  He invited me to come hang out and sing karaoke with a bunch of other people he knows.  I had practiced this opening for a while before I went, including little parts of the dance routine that was once done for the Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars) stage shows.  What I was terrified of was the monologue in the middle.  I can read a lot of Japanese, but I was scared of just leaving my reading up to the machine at the speed in which I knew I had to say it.  So I memorized Sakura's monologue, but was terrified of forgetting it in front of all these native speakers right at that moment.  Seems to have worked out okay, though.  Whew.

Anyway, if you ever get the chance, go find the OTAKU Bar 44sonic.  It's tiny, but awesome.  And my friend there owning the place will treat you right.
