Electronic music in Shinjuku
In my free time I like to play music. Here is a picture of me playing from about 3 years ago in front of Shinjuku station . (I was quite slim then!!)
It was quite unusual for people to see someone playing electronic
music at the station. I got some funny looks, but it was a lot of fun.
