Old Japan Pics

So like in 2004, I finally got to go to japan. A bunch of american players went to show support for our fellow players who were allowed to partake in the beat-tribe cup that year. It was a great trip. I found that Yahoo hasnt deleted the pictures I took, so I thought I would share them



This is a pic of some premlims before the Beat Tribe Cup. Unlike american gatherings, In japan, from what I could tell, they do everything in the arcade. The arcade and sega pretty much sanctions everything. So they not only have a huge following in the country but they have corporate support. Most of the people in the arcade in the pic are famous famous players. Especially the guy looking at the camera. Mr. stompoutloud himself. BTW, The arcade isnt small, its just packed. If memory serves me right, its in shibuya.
