You Can't Make This Shit Up

I took this one drunken, blurry afternoon in Yoyogi park in Tokyo. Every Sunday, this group of guys dress up like Elvis and they go to the park with a big radio and they dance. All day long, they dance to American fifties rock and roll and rockabilly music.

Here's someone else's youtube vid. Check out the pompadours on the dancers:



We--sometimes Ben and Seth and I, sometimes Anita and, or, if I were drunk, mostly Muji and I--would grab beer or Chu-hi from the conbini and takoyaki from one of the street vendors and we would stand and watch these guys.
