Awesome suggestions. I am a bit of a synth freak, so that's great.

Also a massive drinker, so any booze suggestions welcome big_smile

If anybody lives in or knows anybody in Japan, let me know. Would love to hang out with some locals... go to some gigs or something!

Go to Ebisu, there is a 'British' pub called Footnik, the owner's wife is Scottish as well mate. In Shibuya, I enjoyed the Irish pub Dubliners as you can sit elevated and drink in the open air as opposed to a basement, it's on the Dogenzaka road. Also, in Dogenzaka there is a small bar up stairs called Tangle - a lot of music geeks there and playing Pioneer/Technics. In Ebisu, look out for Bar Martha, it's in the style of a traditional jazz bar, really awesome.
