Where is the muscle. I see small moderately fit girls.
Would they arm wrestle customers?

But all they do is dance in public? Genuine question

Hi :) thank you for the helpful video. Is it possible to travel to in september?
September is an excellent time to go. Prices are okay, weather is still hot and jellyfish season is coming to an end. Perfect!

If I went to Yoyogi Park as a tourist and danced to the song, would I get in trouble with the Yoyogi Park rockabilly men? I wonder if there are risks of swearing or stabbing.
No risk of stabbing. They will let you pose for photos with them after they dance. Apparently they ask you don't dance among them because their moves and kicks could accidentally hurt you. But dancing on the sidelines is cool. It takes about 6 months with them to get the treasured jacket, so to dance with them one has to earn it. Hope that helps.
I guarantee that each and every single one of these guys has seen Streets of Fire.

Such a lovely video and guide. I'm tempted to go for the 1/2 marathon that follows the beach line. What do you think the temperatures and weather would be like in mid January?? It would be fun to travel from wintery Tokyo to sub-tropical Okinawa...

I think you guys should label the spots on your videos and put them in the description to make it easier for people watching these videos to plan their itinerary based on your videos.

I was in Tokyo two weeks ago and travelled to Yoyogi park to see the "rockabillies". I was disappointed as they didn't show that Sunday because it had been raining. I was really looking forward to seeing this :-(

I say this with respect, but this imitation of American culture is strange, wildly inaccurate and reveals a profound misinterpretation. I grew up in the 50s and 60s on the edge of Appalachia where this stuff actually existed. I am more than familiar with it. This is part of the world I grew up in. First, Elvis was actually a very sad character. He was a distressed “Momma’s Boy.” He was weak and rather feminine. I do not say this as an insult. I say it as clinical observation. Personally, I always felt bad for him. He was NOT what these people think he was. He was no rebel, but a boy trying to find the paternal approval he never got - and ended being exploited and took drugs to cope and keep going. He became obese and died sitting on the toilet - from an over-dose. All in all he was a weakling. As for Rockabilly/Greaser/Hood culture, these people were not “cool rebels.” Generally they were of low intelligence, troubled, failures. They were also prone to violence, intolerant and wildly racist - in fact they hated Japanese. I recall a friend - who was not Japanese, but had long black hair and was petite, getting threatened and harassed by greasers while walking down the street because she just looks Japanese from the back. Rockabilly/Greaser/Hoods would have laughed their assess off at this “performance art.” The shoes with the turned up toes are bizarre. Actually they are comical and clown-like in our culture. If someone showed up at the race track in Appalachia or in the Midwest dressed like this, not only would they get laughed at, but they likely would get their assess kicked. In fact they would be taken as Homosexuals. This stuff is not macho, manly or American. Its effeminate, strange and clownish in actual American terms. The idea of "leaders", subleaders etc... is the opposite of what people of this culture would admire. We HATE authority, structure, compliance, submission and all the other things that the Japanese seem to love. It actually disgusts us. What strikes me as an American, is that seeing city people who live in apartments, work in offices and who ride trains to work pretend to be tough greasers is actually sad. How empty of substance does your life have to be that you dedicated it to mimicking this aspect of American culture? Its like seeing little kids here in American pretend to be Nijas. Again, I do not share this out of disrepsect or malice, but to provide some insight from someone who grew up in this culture - in the 50s and 60s on the edge of Appalachia.
