SAKURA -JAPAN IN THE BOX- is a new form of night entertainment proposed by Meijiza, the theater with the longest history in Tokyo. Tokyo, the city which welcomes visitors from all over the world. Although there’s all kinds of different things to do in this vibrant city, night-time entertainment was somewhat lacking - until now! This program brings a new kind of enjoyment to a time slot in which there used to be nothing to do: 8:30 p.m. (7 p.m. on Sundays). Sakura is a high-school girl who just can’t seem to find interest in anything. That all changes when she meets a white fox and is taken on a journey across a mysterious land. By travelling through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, she starts to discover what is truly important. This performance blends Japanese traditional arts like dance and instruments and modern pop culture like anime to show off Japan’s true beauty, strength, and the changing of the four seasons. That’s not all! It's extremely vivid by being synchronized with the spectacular projection of animation film. SAKURA-JAPAN IN THE BOX- manages to pull you right into Sakura’s world. Worried about your Japanese language ability? Don’t be! Japan in the Box is designed to express Sakura’s thoughts and Japan’s seasons without relying on words, so every member of the audience can enjoy it. Sakura’s journey is about to begin - why don’t you join her?

Welcome to Western Banjo! Western Banjo, a country and western music bar, is located on Sukiya-dori, Ginza, Tokyo. Classy American decor brought from the States is reminiscent of “good old days”. Band plays three times a night from 7:30 pm to 10:45 pm. This lively bar is always full of singing and laughter. What makes this bar unique is that guests are most welcomed to sing and dance to the music. Nearly 70% of the guests enjoy singing. Good or bad doesn’t matter. Just enjoy! Sing country standards, songs of John Denver, George Strait, Elvis Presley, Eagles, CCR, and Carpenters. Popular ones are “Take me home country road”, “I saw the light”, “Desperado”, “Have you ever seen the rain” and “Sweet Caroline”. Mr. Sodai, the founder of the bar, and who dedicated himself to keep the sound of country and western music in Ginza, the heart of Japan for as long as 37 years, and now, I follow his footsteps. I’d be honored to be a part of Western Banjo’s long-lasting history.
