Side streets of Kabukicho

Side streets of Kabukicho - Shinjuku - City Lights, Kabukicho
Probably everyone of these signs says 'Massage Parlour' in Japanese. After some women came up to us and used direct words, we decided to leave....

the words actually say karaoke. i heard some of the people in kabukicho are rather stand-offish or unfriendly to foreigners--especially white foreigners. its funny because even though you may be of full japanese blood, they can spot foreign japanese from a mile away..

Well, they asked us if we want a massage, then when we ignored them, one of them said two clear words... Actually my friend who lives in Japan told me he thought they were probably Chinese...

Ummmm, yeah. Actually, DaiJingRen is correct. 'Karaoke' is what a number of these signs say. One of them even says 'Beauty Clinic'. Are you sure you understood the "direct words" the women used???
