Help me decide on a new home: Osaka or tokyo: advice, going out and lifestyle
I am going to teach english in Japan in august and soon I will have to confirm which city i want to work in. I was pretty set on working on Osaka untill today.
I spoke with this girl who lives there ( she is from japan not a worker etc..) and she told me there is not much in the way of an electronic music scene there.
So this has me wondering about the whole situation.
Anyone know much about the scene in Japan? I know Yoji biomanika is from there along with satashi tomii but i am not sure which city etc...
She was quite young and really into pop music so perhaps she would not know but.....perhaps she is right as well.
So any help would be appreciated I am starting to think perhaps tokyo would be a wiser idea.
well really any advice on the differences or postives and negatives about each would be appreciated as well

It's bloody expensive here in Tokyo. A beer was $10!!
Chris Liebing is in town this weekend at WOMB, again, it's like $50/cover though.
Other then that, I'm a newb so far, only been here a day.

I will be making pretty good money so.... i am not really concerned with costs. Do me a favor and ask around about the scene in Osaka. It would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm here for work, and the people I'm working with I doubt know anything, hell they can hardly speak english. I found out that info just from the internet, there's a couple good sites with the nightlife review of Tokyo and so on. I found them last night through Google.
