Lil bro and I at the Hard Rock.  After the New Years's countdown, they played 10 minutes of crazy American dance music, like the YMCA and Macarena.

My parents at the Hard Rock, one of the few places in Tokyo that was throwing a New Years celebration.

Hard Rock in Roppongi entertainment district. It was New Year's Eve and the area was crawling with Americans...and a few Japanese celebrating the holiday Western style.
