9LoveJ Is The Most Popular ParaPara Event In Tokyo
9LoveJ takes places every month at Pasela Resort in the heart of Kabukicho where participants can dance their heart out to fast Eurobeat & Hyper Techno music, it is one of my favorite activities while living here.
Saturday night I met up with my American friends Amber and Heather for some good ol' Shibuya shopping.
I didn't realize it was a special long weekend holiday thus everybody was shopping and the streets and stores were packed.
Parapara is a fun activity in Japan. The Parapara nightlife is vibrant and active. Many Japanese girls participate in this event and dance to Super Eurobeat.
We met up at 109 for girls shopping and ended up in 109-2 which is the all men department store across the street. They had a bunch of male models showcasing the autumn gear for 2009.
Around dinner time we went to the Lockup restaurant which is like an underground prison themed restaurant where they chain you up and bring you to your table. But due to the lineup we decided to eat at an Izakaya which was pretty delicious.

After shopping we took the JR back to Shinjuku and walked towards the 9LoveJ parapara event close to my apartment in Kabukicho (red light district of Tokyo).
I was surprised they were even playing DJ Yoji, my favorite DJ, songs prior to the Parapara event.
The music selection was fantastic, ranging from tech-house to hard trance to super eurobeat to hyper techno.
In the video you can also notice some scenes from the B-1 Dynamite event which also took place in Kabukicho.
Next stop will be Halloween at A-Life in Roppongi.
