I second WamBam. I just got back from Shinjuku and the number of arcades and karaoke spots is staggering (Club Code is shutdown?!?). I killed a few nights at Club Sega and some 50yen joint easily. I also noticed the number of freeloaders out there; it's 'spensive! I don't blame them but there could be catastrophic economic damage due to the weakening work force. Also, saying get a job doesn't help either. What might end up happening is the housing market might bust due to low demand and jobs might pay more. Plus when Mommy and Daddy pass, those 'kids' will realize that they'll have to do something to survive.
Who knows, they might emigrate to a cheaper country like the US.
