alife recently went through a minor renewal for its 6th year of business. I went to visit the place last Saturday to see what has changed, if anything. Inside, some of the columns and walls are now covered with a cartoony theme, the lounge above appears more spacious but the rest was frozen in time. [...]

Yesterday night we went for Nishi-Azabu’s alife.
Possibly, because it was a Tanabata night event, where Japanese couples are possibly out dating, the environment was a bit different.
The cafe+club entrance before 23 for ¥1000/2D was not available. In fact, the cafe only opened after 23.
Nonetheless we go in for ¥2000/2D, ¥1500 off for the early birds.

DGP here.

Back from a night out in Roppongi. I met MilanoCookie and Mac’n'Roe at Heartland. We aren’t really big fans of that bar so we went straight down Nishi-Azabu crossing aiming to Xross.
As we passed in front of Muse we felt somewhat compelled to get in, but I kept pushing for Xross: not yet another Muse-night, please !

Yesterday night I was set to go check the Yellow. It’s been a while since I last went. The plan was to go check a popular Trance DJ from USA.
The entrance was 3500Y/1D, or 3000Y/1D with the flyer (homemade printout, OK). Yellow’s website is aging and getting the flyer was a rather involved process.
