We arrived in Tokyo Shinagawa yesterday to clear(ish) skies and more humid temperatures. I must say that I actually don't mind the humidity at all, in fact, I would go as far to say that I enjoy it! After we reached the hotel, we had yet another quick turn around - this time we needed to jump in taxis to the Inter FM radio station for a live interview/sing. It went well and the radio staff seemed to enjoy our version of Nat King Cole's 'Straighten Up and Fly Right' from our new album Swimming Over London. After this it was a race back to the hotel, as Stephen and I had an interview for a classical music magazine in the lobby of the hotel. A few of us enjoyed a lovely meal in the evening at the local steak house - I've never seen Chris' face look so happy as when we drove up the road towards the hotel and passed a non-Japanese restaurant!! After eating our own body weight in red meat, we headed for the compulsory Starbucks stop and then off to bed.

Before I go, I must share with you a picture taken from a curry house which some of us visited in Toyota City. This is without doubt the biggest nan bread that I have ever seen/eaten - please bear in mind that this plate is a LARGE dinner plate! Needless to say, I finished it without any trouble at all.................
