Shibuya is definitely my favorite district in Tokyo. In my opinion it is the fashion capital of the world. I took the metro from Shinjuku Station which is only a few minutes away.

Shibuya is known for its popular scrambled crossing. It is located in front of the Shibuya Station and stops vehicles in all directions to allow pedestrians to inundate the entire intersection. Three massive LCD screens mounted on closeby buildings overlook the crossing.

I wanted to find the rooftop soccer field near Shibuya Station, this soccer field is used during a night scene in the popular movie; "Fast & Furious - Tokyo Drift" where a bunch of kids play soccer. I zoomed in with Google Maps on my laptop and found the location. I was surprised how easy it was to get to this roof top since the field is rented out on an hourly basis to local amateur soccer clubs. Some of the soccer players came up to me and asked me where I was from. They were very surprised when I told them I was from Holland since most foreigners are usually American. It was fun to answer all the questions they had about Dutch soccer.

The gigantic Starbucks store overlooking the crossing is also one of the busiest in the world. On the northwest side of Shibuya station, there is a popular meeting place with a statue of Hachiko, while on the northeast side of Shibuya station there is another popular meeting place with a statue called "Moyai". The statue resembles a Moai statue, and it was given to Shibuya by the people of Niijima Island in 1980.

The highlight of the day was definitely the Shibuya 109 department store building which is the hotspot for many girls to buy the latest hot fashion. The most impressive store was Liz Lisa, gorgeous girls are working here and luckily they helped me locate Atom Nightclub which was around the block. I went to the top floor for some lunch at a Korean restaurant, supposedly many Japanese people love Korean food due to its healthy ingredients.

This was the first time I ever tried Bibimbop & Bulgogi on recommendation by the girls that were sitting at the table next to me.

What better than to enjoy Odaiba on a gorgeous day with a great friend. We went to see the big Gundam robot across the Fuji TV building, enjoyed a fun ride in the Odaiba ferris wheel at 377 feet high was the world’s largest when it opened in 1999. The 16-minute ride offers a tremendous view of the Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge as well as a great glimpse of much of the rest of the metropolis, and brought a memorable close to a fantastic day.

The most amazing thing was definitely the Venus Fort. A full shopping experience modeled after the shopping area at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas which is quite funny since I was there a few months earlier.

Saturday night I met up with my American friends Amber and Heather for some good ol' Shibuya shopping. I didn't realize it was a special long weekend holiday thus everybody was shopping and the streets and stores were packed. We met up at 109 for girls shopping and ended up in 109-2 which is the all men department store across the street. They had a bunch of male models showcasing the autumn gear for 2009.

Around dinner time we went to the Lockup restaurant which is like an underground prison themed restaurant where they chain you up and bring you to your table. But due to the lineup we decided to eat at an Izakaya which was delicious.

After shopping we took the JR back to Shinjuku and walked towards the 9LoveJ parapara event close to my apartment in Kabukicho (red light district of Tokyo). I was surprised they were even playing DJ Yoji (my favorite DJ) songs prior to the Parapara dance off. The music selection is fantastic ranging from tech-house to hardtrance to super eurobeat to hyper techno.

In the video you can also notice some scenes from the B-1 Dynamite event which also takes place in Kabukicho.
