"There's nothing for kids to do in Nagoya except sit around all day drinking and taking drugs," says pal Hiroshi, who spent three years there at college.
And when I tell other guys I'm hitting Japan's third city the response is: "What the hell for?"
Well, the drink and drugs sound good, but also I've never been further south than Yokohama in four years; people are always e-mailing Fuzzy Logic saying it should get out of Tokyo; I've got nothing else to do this weekend, and, hell, I might as well admit it, my girlfriend's band, 54 Nude Honeys, are in the middle of a Japan tour and the next stop is Nagoya.
