Kaikan Shibuya is no more... CRY!
« on: August 20, 2013, 10:41:14 AM »
If you went to Japan, you had to go to Tokyo, and you had to go to Shibuya to play at Kaikan.
But this weekend, they closed the place. I'm happy that I visited it back in 2009. It was a great place.

This book has a nice 8-page article about it:
