'Forever with Me'

You couldn't possibly know, how much you have touched my soul. God must have wept, when from heaven; his five stars leapt. Cassiopeia's essence, in our hearts; you're ever present. We will always stand by your side, your bright smiles as our guide. I sit and ponder, how these five male wonders. Have managed to make a home, in my soul thats so alone. Deep inside, from your voices; I cannot hide. Forever with me, as if in a dream. written by D Strother aka Sapphyre Nyght 090305 written on t… Continue

Hello Everyone, In an effort to better serve our members, and get more people involved in the community, I have started a little project here at Tokyo Circle.

So, I started a little discussion in the forums sections here at Tokyo Circle for everyone to share some ti… Continue

Get the Gun Boy! It is Thanksgiving Time.

In the haze of holiday shopping and retail insanity American`s little November tradition is nothing more than a blip on the radar in Tokyo. Thanksgiving used to mean something a long time ago. People used to sit around the family dinner table, eat turkey, and talk about what they are thankful for. My family tried this when I was a lot younger but it always ended up in dad throwing a beer bottle at me, my mother throwing her plate at my dad, and my sister laughing her ass off while calling us all… Continue

Does Tokyo Drink Too Much?

A big issue that is rarely addressed in Tokyo, as well as all of Japan, is looking at how much we drink. Anyone who spends any amount of time in Tokyo will notice that there are a hell of a lot of bars here. You can get a drink at any time day or night in Tokyo. It is very easy to have a stiff shot of Jack at four in the morning; I know because I have done this. It would seem that getting drunk is a way of life in Tokyo. There are very few social rules concerning drinking in Tokyo. I have heard… Continue

Japan's next prime minister?

A lot has been written about Japan's often dysfunctional government in the last twenty years. The same system of seniority and backdoor politics that has plagued Japanese businesses since the end of the 80s has resulted in a government that is so deadlocked it can't seem to be able to… Continue
