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.

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).
