The five-year reign of the Roppongi Hills scene bred a pretty canny strain of Japanese woman. I fell in love with at least one of them. It is scary to see how quickly they've disappeared from the bars. And they started disappearing early: these girls are a market indicator to which we should all pay attention.
Quote of the Day ( 4 )
Peter, 36, a former sales trader at a large U.S. investment bank in Tokyo. He believes that the women who used to frequent Heartland bar in Roppongi Hills looking for a rich foreign banker have developed a sixth sense for layoffs. Clientele at the bar has dropped since the demise of Lehman Brothers. (The Times) See story at www.timesonline.co.uk

Too bad, Peter. No sympathy for you pal. And I have even less sympathy for those girls looking for sugar daddys. Guess they'll have to go back home and live with their parents. Heartland was a sleaze joint, anyway.
