Big in Japan - Approach journal form Tokyo and beyond

[drak_ool]

I just got to Tokyo a couple days ago and I want to make the most of this experience as far as girls, so what better than a journal to really push me?

I am a big fan of Asian girls in general, Japanese girls in particular, so I feel like i'm in heaven right now... The number of hotties roaming around the streets of the city is unbelievable. One major problem, though: nobody speaks English, and when they do, it's of a very basic kind. I don't speak Japanese either, so language will be a big barrier, at least at first.

If anybody has any experience gaming in Japan, your advice will be greatly appreciated!

And now here we go, I hope this will be a life-changing 2 months for me...

Last night I went out in Shinjuku, checked out the red light district for a minute (no way I'm getting ripped off by one of their many tourist traps where cover can be as high as $60 just to enter a hostess bar), and then settled for a small yaki tori (japanese grilled skewers) place where the cook/attendant was a gorgeous girl.

Sitting at the bar in front of her (similar set up to a sushi bar) I tried some basic conversation in English but she kinda shut me off right away.

After getting my food, I spit out my only "pick up line" I know in japanese: kire des (you are beautiful). That finally got her talking, turns out she's Chinese, she speaks a little English. We end up having a 1/2 hour conversation...

When she tells me she doesn't work on the weekends, but also doesn't really go out I tell her right away we should hang out. Then she blushes, she's obviously embarrassed and i ask her the question I should have asked her all along... Yes, she has a boyfriend!

At this point I kinda drop the subject, pay my bill and head out, as the jet lag and the beers are really catching up to me and I don't want to miss the last subway...

Better luck next time!

I didn't get a chance to check out Tokyo. I sarged in Osaka and definitely enjoyed it there. I have some friends who do pick up in Japan and if you want to meet more English speakers check out Roppongi. There are lots of clubs and bars there. Also use your body language more to express yourself and speak slower, sometimes the girls might know a little more English than you might think. I knew a Korean girl I met in Seoul who told me that she would act like she didn't know any English to brush guys off. Don't know if it's the same in Japan, but could be.

How long will you be in Japan? If you will be there for a bit, check out these guys www.pickupasia.com

They are really good and teach guys how to pick up women in Japan. Also, check out the Japan Lair.

appreciate the feedback! I'll be here for 2 months, so I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities.

So far I have been doing mainly day game because the jet lag is kicking my ass and by 8-9 pm i already feel like a zombie. Today I will try to take a nap and get some rest, since some local friends are throwing a party for me and there will be some cute girls there, who studied abroad at my college about 5 years ago...

ive been in japan for 6 months now and i quickly realized it is better to use email. most jap girls can read/write english better than they can speak it. so open with some canned japanese lines, (not, huh, you are beautiful, fukin afc) use lots of kino excilation to bypass the language barrior, then get her email. spit some game back and forth get to know her then arange a meeting at shibuya. eat some dinner, hopefully she speaks a little eng (or else dont bother) then say you want to explore like the foriener you are, tell her to be your tour guide. wander up the hill behind the girls clothing store 109 and watch her hillarious attempts to explain the sexual wonderland you have just entered full of love hotels and soap baths. bust on her and say all jap's are crazy (they are) get her laughing, use a LOT of kino, but take everything slow, enjoy the sights and culture. then, if you did your dj thing like a true dj, take her into one of the many love hotels and brake her like the 40 pound asian girl she is. hell ya.

Learn the numbers for this one. Itchi, ni, san, shi/yon, go, roku, nana/shichi, hachi, kyu/ku, jyu/ju. (1, 2, 3, 4 or 4, 5, 6, 7 or 7, 8, 9 or 9, 10 or 10) those are the numbers and the different ways of saying the same number.
Also note that they may place 'no' in the middle as a dash for example roku roku hachi roku no kyu nana nana san (6686 - 9773)

Then ..

Denwa bango wa nan ban desu ka? - Your telephone number, what is it?
After her reply: Motto yukkuri onegaishimasu. - Could you please more slowly (what's to be done more slowly is understood in context as her speaking), seeing as she'll probably speak faster than understood.



Onamae wa nan desu ka? - What's your name.
Like wise. Boku no namae wa drak_ool desu. - My name is drak_ool.

Sumimasuen, nihongo ga skoshi wakarimasu. - Forgive (me), Japanese I only understand a little.

Eiigo ga hanashimasu ka? - Do you speak English?

Doko de kara kimashi*ta ka? - Where are you from? (* is for swear filter, pronounce as one word.)

Doko de umaremashi*ta ka? - Where were you born? (" ")

Ima Doko ni sundae imasu ka? - Currently, Where do you live?

So desu. - I see.

Knowing those fundy phrases will help create a connection that a foreigner is making an effort but it's too late for you to learn Japanese so I hope you're a good mime!

From a guy who knows some Japanese 'Itchi' should be 'Ichi'. Should also know a little about Japanese pronunciation. Here are how the Japanese vowels are pronounced.

a - a is pronounced like "Ah".

i - i is pronounced like "Eeh". Basically sounds like how you would pronounce an english "e".

u - u is pronounced like 'Ooh'.

e - e is pronounced like "Eh" or "Ay".

o - o is pronounced like "Oh".

So let's put this to work by pronouncing Kawaii.

Kah - wah - eeh.

MackMaste - Kire des might sound fuking AFC, but that was the only think I knew to say in japanese at the time... remember I've started learning the language 4 days ago!

I like your other tips, of course i figured lots of kino, loud club/bar might help cuz then no need to use so much talking. My problem was the jet lag, that's why I haven't been going out hardcore at night but i'm getting over that, so by next weekend I'll put your advice to practice.

One last thing: I live in Shibuya, I did do a lil bit of research before I came here! Women/girls here are unbelievable...

To everybody else who helped me: thanks! I also have japanese friends who teach me pick up lines/a lil conversation so I'm doing fast improvements.

2 updates: last night I met with a bunch of japanese friends who studied abroad at my school over 5 years ago. I talked for a while to this one tiny little cutie, who used to be very shy but now she seems to have got over it. Actually to me it seemed like she was going out of her way to interact with me. Hard to mack on her under the circumstances but I got her contact and told her we should get a drink later this week (isolation), to which she agreed so we ll see how that goes...

Part 2: I went for some food near Shibuya station and sat down at a rotating sushi bar next to 3 hotties, one of them with the biggest tits I've seen so far in Japan.

I tried some convo in English ("which one is your favorite?"), but turns out neither of them spoke or understood a word of english. Through gestures and the little japanese i know we managed to get a bit of convo started and then the other 2 girls chipped in, asking me which one I liked. At least I know how to say maguro (tuna) and sake (salmon)...

Even though the girls seemed interested, I didn't push it past that because I don't even have a phone yet to get their numbers....

In general, whenever I approach a girl (to ask for information, or whatever...) I get a good response, she seems excited to talk to me, but there's not much we can talk about for now, which is very frustrating

I got some ideas in mind though, gimme another week and you'll be surprised of my progress

 

[drak_ool]

Today was the first day of my classes here. I had the pleasant surprise to see that there was at least one cutie in my program, who I sat down next to and did some light conversation with during the break. Turns out she's Japanese and now studies in NYC.

At lunch time I proposed that we get a bite to eat together and we ended up hanging out for 1 1/2 hour, until the afternoon class started. After class since I needed a cell phone, she offered her help (for translation purposes) and we ended up spending 3 hours together, shopping for a phone (it's a very complicated process as a foreigner here), having sushi and vibing really well. She seems really into me, told me she wants to hang out some more, added me to her facebook as soon as she got home, etc...

I would say this should be an easy lay, but for one problem: she told me that she doesn't drink at all! When I inquired further she said even half a drink will make her violently sick, so she doesn't even try it. This will def mean I'll have to put more time into this pick up than I want.

I was proud of myself though for making such a quick move on her and snagging her b4 any of the other guys in my program even had a chance to talk to her (20 guys, 6 girls, out of which only 2 cute ones, talk about a sausage fest...).

 

[drak_ool]

I had lunch with the girl from my program again today, spending another 1 1/2 hours with her. She obviously digs me, but she's a tiny, shy Japanese girl so I don't know how open she is for just sex, or if she wants more than that. Obviously I didn't come to Tokyo to get tangled up!

Tonight I had a reception organized by the school. I introduced the Japanese girl to some guy I had met earlier today and he ended up chatting her up the entire night! The guy had a ring on his left hand so I assumed he was married and hence harmless, however he kept drinking and was def gaming her. Call me ****y but I never really saw him as a threat, I think if anybody will get that girl it will be me. Anyway, that left me free to mingle with other girls and in fact I met a Japanese student who spoke fairly good English. She seemed to really dig me and when I mentioned that we should go out and have a drink she agreed immediately.

The other only cute girl from my program approached me and we had a 10/15 min convo. She wasn't outright flirting with me but she has to be somewhat interested, or else why bother approach me? There's a bit of a logistics problem with her though, since she lives 1h 1/2 away from Tokyo so she hasn't really been going out with other kids from the program as she must the last train back relatively early.

 

[MackMaster]

do you go out at all? if you can bag a girl from class then good on ya, but im thinking you should break away from that sausage fest and do a little more cold approaching. jap girls are normally very open to gaijin as long as they speak a little eng. they dont have shields like american women because they rarely get approached by shy jap guys. yes, this also means you will have to put in a little more work than your used to, no one night stands but you should play the numbers game, i normaly cant make it across shibuya crossing without getting a hard on because of the insain number of single beautiful women. try to get 3-5 girls that you communicate with on a regular basis (email, phone, or in person) then just keep going on 1 on 1 dates with them until they crack 1 by 1.

have been clubing yet? shibuya is good so is roppongi.

 

[drak_ool]

Today I went to the phone shop with a bunch of pple from my class who were trying to get a phone (obviously...). While waiting there, this really cute girl that works in the shop approaches to ask her what we are looking for. When she realizes I don't speak Japanese, she calls right away for the English-speaking assistant but I tell her not to, and then tell her I don't need a phone, I just want to talk to her. She seems to understand English, but cannot speak a word of it. I keep asking her about what music she likes, and tell her a bit about my musical taste. Then I ask her if she's good at karaoke. To make a long story short, after a few more lines on the subject I tell her we should go to a karaoke place together sometime. That's when she starts (so far she was really digging the interaction), saying yes, no, maybe... Then I tell her she can think about it, just give me your number or phone e-mail and we'll keep in touch. She doesn't want to, so I just say bye and eject...

Later on in the evening I met up with some Japanese friends. As they cannot remember the exact location of the bar they want to go to, I suggest one of them asks a group of 2 girls walking behind us. After my friend approaches one of them, I go up to the other, who I noticed was looking in my direction, and I have the pleasant surprise to find out that she speaks very decent English. We talk a bit about the university they go to, how come she has such a good command of English, and her hometown. She keeps telling me how nice it is, so I ask her if she will be my guide if I come visit. She laughs, then I tell her I can teach her some Spanish (she's in a Spanish program at uni here). She is interested, but as I try to get her number my friends are trying to leave, everybody gets confused, and in the end I write my digits down on my friend's business card and tell her to call me any time for the lessons. I know, it's a long shot, but we'll see, the chick is an 18 y.o. freshman...

 

[drak_ool]

Mac Master- ya, I do go out, in fact if you look at this journal most of the time I do cold approaching. I've been more active in the day due to the jet lag, but now I've been going out more at night. Haven't been to a big club yet but I'll def be there this weekend.

At this moment I am communicating with 3 diff girls (chick from my class, chick who studied at my school a while ago, and chick I met at the reception on Tues night). I am pretty confident that by the end of next week I will get some action from one of them, but like you said, I have to put in the extra work...

 

[Kal0051]

you should check out ageha. It's one of the biggest clubs I've ever been to, was always good fun (better than where I live right now). Plus they have shuttle bus service from near shibuya station, right on roppongi-dori. Check out their site http://www.ageha.com/, they have the bus schedule posted right on the site (plus a map to where the bus pick up is). Have fun, wish I was still in tokyo, I could show you a few other fun places (not just for pick up, but just some cool off the map places).

 

[MackMaster]

ya ive been to some crazy places like that. dam good times. i always get in free vip because my friend is dating a model. if you know of any other off the map places please post them man. i party like a rockstar and i need my fix.

drak- you seem to be on the right path man, my biggest peace of advice is to not get stuck in a routine and keep steping outside your boundaries. use the culture shock as a catalyst to create a new reality for yourself. a reality with no limitations. there is no reason you should not be slaying 3 sidways vag's a week in the near future. stay motovated.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, right? Well take a look at my latest project and let me know what you think:

http://streetfashionproject.blogspot.com/

I've basically combined my love of fashion, photography and pick up to create an innovative routine (at least for me). Basically I go up to any girl I find cute/fashionable and ask her if she would like to pose for me. Then I start some sort of convo with her, depending on her level of English. After the shoot I casually mention to her that I want to send her the pic since it came out so good. At this point she gives me her e-mail and I eject, maybe after mentioning a future get-together if I got a good vibe from her

So far the success rate has been astonishing! Out of all the girls I approached, maybe only a couple refused the picture alltogether, and out of the girls that I've posed, only 2 didn't give me their contact info.

I don't know what the follow up ratio is gonna look like, but I'm optimistic.

One last factor to take into consideration was that yesterday I went with a Japanese friend, who was acting as my translator. Today I will go on my own, so the convo part will be more challenging!

 

[drak_ool]

Just got back from an all-you-can-drink-club (you can guess my state)... Earlier today I went day gaming, trying out my photographer routine, but w/out a translator it was really tough... Maybe I didn't dress fashionable enough, but the girls didn't want to pose for me...

However, over the course of the night i got multiple phone numbers. i don't know how many will show up next weekend for my b-day, but I have many promises. I could have f.ucked this one japanese chick today but she was kinda thick and I thought I deserved better. The girl was all over me, so for a while I was stuck, but then I just started ignoring her and she got the hint... anyways, clubs here are awesome, i hope i get a better luck next time. Time to go to bed for me, almost 6 am...

Im also in Japan, but on an island Okinawa. The clubs are where its at man. I went to mainland once and party every night over there in Roppongi, best time of my life. I would get on stage and dance by myself to make myself known. After that girls would just come to me or wouldn't reject me when I start grinding on them. The game is a little different over here in Okinawa since there are tons of Americans on island. I wish I wasn't so lazy to learn Japanese I have 10 months left on island but Im trying to go to Korea and then mainland Japan.

 

[Kal0051]

dude, don't worry about getting a ONS with a girl over there. Just keep doing what your doing, get numbers, get day2s, and I'm sure you'll fvck your fair share of girls. I had such an easy time getting girls over there, just no ONS (well I could have got them if I went to roppongi but I would watch out for girls you meet in clubs there). The only piece of advice I can give is learn japanese quickly.

 

[drak_ool]

The only piece of advice I can give is learn japanese quickly.

haha thanks dude! I've actually realized that as soon as I got here, their level of english is usually terrible. Ya, i'm not worried about an ons (obviously I wouldn't turn one down, last night the chick that was stoking me was just not good enough by my standards), I'm talking to multiple girls and I've only been here for 10 days, I'm sure something will come out of it...
