Azuma Odori is a performance done by geisha in a big theatre in Shinbashi Enbujo.
Usually geishas will only show their performance in front of a crowd at the parties but this performance is open to the public.
This is the theatre.
People dressed up pretty for this performance.
I was going to go clubbing after this so I wasn't dressed appropriately.
(Didn't know it was such a formal occasion!)
This is the picture I took form my seat. Probably the cheapest seat in the whole theatre.
The performance was mainly dance and music.
I think there was a story line to it but I didn't quite understand what they were saying.
During the break you can take pictures with the geisha.
Women geisha also dressed up as a guy.
This is the finale. I really enjoyed looking at everyone who performed dressed in a beautiful black kimono.
The performance itself is pretty bland at times because of its lack of story line but as a whole, everything was in order and you enjoy their precise movements.

Right after that I headed over to roppongi to go to an event called
爆音perfume! BAKUooooooooN Perfume!
This must have been one of the most exciting clubbing event I have ever been to.
So what happens at this clubbing event is that you get to hear most of the songs by Perfume in a clubbing atmosphere.
You can never enjoy loud music like this other than their concerts so it's a lot of fun.
You also get to meet other guys and girls who also love Perfume as well.
All you can eat food and drink + the music for 35 dollars.
