Japan Tour (Dec 8, 2008)

The last gig of the Japan tour is tonight (Tuesday Dec 9th) at Club Quattro in Tokyo. Dionne and the band have already played to very appreciative crowds in Osaka and Nagoya and are travelling North by bullet train, which has to be the most comfortable and efficient mode of transport ever devised. Another thing about Japan: the electric toilets are quite marvellous.
