Without a doubt the coolest thing in all of Tokyo.
There are two rival Rockabillie gangs – the Lebels and the Strangers. They set up every Sunday on the edge of the park with their own boomboxes and they dance. That’s it – they just dance. They aren’t very good, but their energy and commitment is beyond reproach. The rival gangs don’t talk to each other, and they have very different aesthetics while remaining within the Rockabilly sensibility. Oh, and by the way, if anyone in the audience tries to dance along with them, at least 1-2 of the gang members will stop dancing, and walk over to the perpetrator and get right in their face and start yelling at them and bumping chests – there will be no mocking or funny business with these guys. All business.
