i often compare the experience, going to tokyo the first time, to what eric clapton and pete townsendhe reigning guitar gods of england, what they must have gone through the week that jimi hendrix came to town. you hear about it, you go see it. a whole window opens up into a whole new thing. and you think what does this mean? what do i have left to say? what do i do now? welcome to tokyo. you are not invited. this is the other tokyo. 12-hour flight and i'm baked. no sleep. might as well -- must -- go out. the district near my hotel has the advantage of being where the subterranean life, the repressed japanese male and some female, too, comes out to play. joining me is japanese film producer and production manager maso sokubel. always a good sign when protective chains protect entertainers from the soon to be entertained. prepare yourself for the greatest show in the history of entertainment. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> no. no, it can't be over. not yet. no! but yet -- yet it is. with a series of chaste high fives with the hard-working performers. okay, i've got to tell you. i've seen jimi hendrix. >
