Belakiss’ Japanese Tour Diary  #2: Bullet Trains and Kit KatsAfter a long old day of press some dinner is well needed. We've heard about a restaurant based on the club in Kill Bill, and head down, intrigued. The place doesn't disappoint; we half expect Uma to pop her head up and smash Ben's face through the wall! Amazing grub and some well deserved drinks.

Come morning and we're on a bullet train. James and Chris are like a couple of kids: "Look at the shiny choo choo" they yelp. Yes Chris, we know and it's proper rapid. I forget how beautiful this country is sometimes, as we fly through the smokey industrial estates shadowed by Mount Fuji. Snow-topped mountains rear their peaks above the clouds and crisp, forest-lined valleys. Wow!

We arrive in Osaka and are whisked away to FM802. We were last here in the summer and is nice to see everybody again. We're only here for a quick 10 minute interview about this evening's gig, but still have a proper laugh on the air - then it's off to the venue. We're not nervous tonight - we've chosen a tune to get crowd moving before we go on: Radiohead's 'Meeting in the Aisle'. Lets fookin ave it!

We find a present from one of our fans over here, Yumi. Official Belakiss Tour Kit Kats. Haha. Amazin.
