With it being a year since I last visited Japan, I was not looking to be plunged into depression by wishing I was back there. But Backstreet boys went and released a brand new music video that I just happened to stumble across. There is a connection between these guys, Japan and my love for the place, honestly!
I shed some tears as I watched this. I must have watched this shit (oh, I dunno...) about seven, eight, ten times! The boys looked like they had an amazing time shooting the video, which echoed how I felt when I was over there. Amazing. I gotta make a note to myself to check out a maid cafe the next time I'm in Japan. I can't believe I went to Akihabara four times and not once did I hit one up! It was probably because the girls handing out flyer's to the cafes were bitches (yes, I said it) and wouldn't give one out to any of us. They gave my chugokujin mate one though. Chances are they thought he was a local.
I can't say I've liked any of Backstreet boys' previous songs. But this "Bigger" song ain't half bad. In fact: I think it's a pretty damn good tune!
I got to visit a couple of the locations which cropped up in the music video. Aint' no mistaking them. I remember them well...
Where the maid was strutting at the start | Akihabara
The place with the big red lantern in the background | The SensÅ-ji temple
