Want to Disco Down in Tokyo?

Big Disco Event on April 11 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Tokyo

I try to keep everyone up to date with new events and various concerts going on around Tokyo. You can learn more about various activities by tuning into my weekly podcast here.
http://www.japantoday.com/category/podcast/view/kamasami-kong-interviews-lionel-richie

In this edition of the Kong Show, Kamasami Kong chats with superstar Lionel Richie about his concert Monday night at Nippon Budokan. Additionally we tell our listeners how they can win a pair of tickets (worth ¥26,000) to attend the fashionable “We LOVE 80’s DISCO” event at the Grand Hyatt ballroom. (Winner to be announced on the Kong Show on April 4). And there’s more…a free glass of champagne for each person who mentions Kong’s name at the Ritz Cafe in Tokyo Midtown (offer ends April 15).

If you will be in Tokyo on the 11th, sign up for the night of Disco memories
