After our disappointments in the morning, Ashlynn took control and booked us a reservation for a show that evening. We'd seen the flyers for
Roppongi Kaguwa while exploring the neighborhood. The description of the show sounded kinda cheesy, but we were willing to take a chance:
A spectacular combination of traditional Japanese dance and modern twists, jazz dancing, upbeat music and even flying performers. Performers are obviously professional dancers and Japanese Drag Queens (beautiful men and transsexuals dressed in women's clothes). You can enjoy the ever-changing movable stage which incorporates a unrivaled new technology system all over Japan.
We expected the place to be full of foreigners, but instead we were the only ones. We were seated right in front; before the show, several of the performers came by and gave us their business cards. The website says the place seats 186, but there were only 20 in the audience. That didn't stop the ten performers on stage from putting on a fantastic show. The show was 45 minutes with 12 acts each with different costumes and incredible dancing. The stage is difficult to describe with constant moving platforms giving each song a completely different look. Photography was only allowed during the bows at the end of the show.
We were invited up on stage at the end for a photo on my phone. It was the perfect ending to a great birthday!
