TOKYO TALK

Sari and Adam
SARI AND ADAM/
STUDENT AND DJ

Sari: We met at the 100 Yen Plaza in Hiroo. Adam approached me, and offered to carry my bags. In return for the gallantry, I paid for Adam' shopping. When we want to go to somewhere romantic, we head for Yoyogi Park on Sunday evenings.
Ken and Mariko

DJS AT NEW YORK DEEP
We met at a dance party about seven years ago. How did we fall in love? We both DJ together, and after working together every night we got to know each other a little better. For us, the most romantic spot in Tokyo is probably Harajuku-especially Yoyogi Park, on the north point of the fountain. There's nice green grass, trees, sky, rainbows… everything you need for romance.
Miharu and Shin

RECORD SHOP WORKER AND HERB SHOP WORKER

Miharu: I met my honey in Conscious Dreams in Okubo. He kissed me at a party… and I liked it! The most romantic location in Tokyo has to be Conscious Dreams, of course!

Love Story
Photos by Beezer

We were feeling rather sensual this week, but found ourselves short on romance. Rather than offer each other flowers, we decided to send our philandering photographer out to pick up some amorous advice: where and how did you meet your honey? And in case we decide to go out tonight, what is the most romantic spot in Tokyo?
Ken and Chiaki

A&R AND O.L.

Ken: I my sweetheart in London. We sort of met through a mutual friend. She came to our house to return something, but I was the only person in the house at that time-and we hit it off. The most romantic place to be in Tokyo is inside of a car, driving on the highway in the late evening with wicked music playing.

 

Sami and Polly
SAMI AND POLLY/
ENGLISH TEACH AND DISCO DIVA

Sami: I met her in a nightclub in Roppongi called Lexington Queen. I was dancing on a high platform area inside the club, and one of her friends came over and started to talk to me. Then we all became friends… and later Polly and I started dating. The most romantic spot in Tokyo is on the balcony of my girlfriend's apartment, sitting on the air conditioning fan unit, looking out towards Tokyo Tower late at night. (Sorry, no visitors allowed without an invitation!)
