Went to Nisei Week this past Saturday in Little Tokyo. Met up with Benu from Anime-Genesis, Jeremy from Anime Diet and Makenai! Also brought along with me my brother and Kawaii_Clare who dressed us up in Kimonos. Her’s being much better than mine since I didn’t have all the stuff needed for it and it was falling apart by the end of the day.
Here is Makenai with special Guest Jose Sanchez, they performed some amazing songs during the concert!
You can see the entire concert here, It’s worth the watch they really are such an awesome band!
Me with Pamela and Evelyn from Makenai, just two of the sweetest girls you’d ever met.
Benu getting Molested by the girls, Big Pimping there Benu!
My brother DJ Tama as the man the girls wanted but could never get!
Also some awesome Taiko Drumming that we caught before the concert! Love the quality of the video on my camera!
Nisei week was pretty fun, we had taken the train to get there. Never again, I have a car and i’ll be sure to use it! The train itself wasn’t bad, but the people were really terrible, but then we took it from LA to Long Beach and had to go through Compton and the people during those stops were just so terrible. We did take the train since we went to Little Tokyo with a friend who didn’t have a car, but if we can use our car we will for sure!
You can now follow me on

Little Tokyo’s one of the reasons I want to go to California so badly!
The taiko drumming looks awesome. There’s an international festival held in my town every year with food, cultural displays, and musical performances. Last year, there was a taiko drumming performance, but I couldn’t watch it (I could only hear it) because I had to sell food at one of the booths.

Little Tokyo is tons of fun, and apparently i don’t even know of all the fun things to do there!

The only kimono I ever got to put on was a cheap tourist thing at a display in a museum. LOL still loved it though. I tried on a hoop skirt too.

The train just ads to the authentic Japanese experience… except through Compton.

lol…….CPT.
The metro blue line from Long Beach to Vernon Station is pretty ghetto. For some reason it seems the Blue Line may have been built for rival gangs to enter each others territory. My stop is the 103rd street station, since i live a couple of blocks from there. I think that anything from Compton Station to Long Beach is really horrible. From Watts to North towards Downtown L.A. is much more chill.
