The Tokyo Rockabilly Club has got to be the most-photographed group of people in Japan. Think about it, the Cabinet gets snapped by couple-dozen or so media photogs. Every Sunday, hundreds of tourists from the four corners show up in Yoyogi Park, many seeking out the "Japanese Elvises". I probably have a dozen shots with this particular fellow!
Sarge,
This rocker knows what the best beer is - Asahi Super Dry!
Reminds of how Sundays used to be in Harajuku (10 or 15 years ago). You had the rockabilities, heavy metal, and other music genres playing wall to wall.
Good thing his hair is impressive -- because his upper body sure isn't.
And, if he really respected his ride, he would not be leaning against it with all that metal on his belt and pants.
white rabbit, party boy is lucky to come out intact. part of the fun of watching the TRC is seeing them expel drunks who try to break into their circle. he's lucky that guy who looks like "rockabilly oddjob" wasn't there, lol

I like the cosplay policeman to the left, too. I wonder where he got his outfit from...

Truly a man of refined taste.

Bad-ass greaser.

After seeing Grease with Travolta in peak form, I'd have to say this guy isn't even close to pulling this look off.

These guys are awesome. They're stuck in the time zone. Rockabilly lives forever with these guys.

i like watching those guys, but he's a 'dancer'...that's different from a 'rocker'...rockers play actual instruments
