    Good sir, if you find a guitar like that I will learn how to play.

    The position of the strings and dials and stuff though...would it not be better if they were just a bit higher or just a bit lower? 'Tis missing all the better bits.

    Or you can make a cardboard cutout of a girl and use it to make a guitar. Or use a design of a girl onto a real guitar and then rock Shibuya!

    Danny got less stares than the chokan band girl. In fact, it looked as if he was just completely ignored. Like on the train it was if they were purposely looking away.

    but Japanese are generally an impassive bunch aren't they? if a stunt like that happened in a Singapore train, most of the people would be trying to run outta sight of the camera.
