Good news! The fine folks at Jap Inc., clothiers to legions of tokusatsu heroes/bad guys and owners of Kichijoji's finest metalhead hangout Bar Jap, have opened a new joint. The suspiciously familiarly logo-ed Rock Star Cafe can be found right outside Inokashira Park and also doubles as a rental gallery. Chances that "Chinese Democracy" is playing there this very second approach 100%.

Bar Jap is cheesy, but awesome. This place looks more like a cafe, though.

Boy, that's some empty looking cafe. I hope the yakuza aren't charging them protection based on head count!
I kid, of course there's no such thing as the yakuza.

I suspect they have less to worry about from the yakuza than the lawyers of a certain chain of rock and roll themed restaurants.
