There are these group of guys and girls who ride their Japanese/Harley look alikes around tokyo set up a generator and dance to really old rock and roll. This is one such guy taken in Odaiba on a Sunday evening.
Classic I reckon.

This is a blinder! Not your typical postcard/stereotype image of Japan. The b/w works really well. Super shot!

Great shot. This begs so many more questions than it answers... What are they powering that requires a generator? What does this guy's hair look like when he stands still? Why does anyone buy leather pants? Thanks for another glimpse at the local human flavor.

@Matt Trujillo Photography: The generator is for the stereo which is pumping out rock and roll from the 70s. I wish the camera could capture the music surrounded at this moment.
aw man this is great! the b&w is perfect. just a hint of motion in the dancer. some nice background action of the guys taking keitai pics and the cool wheels, and the urban backdrop. a pearler mate.
