Yeah, I bought an air guitar from a Yakuza guy.

He said it was "vintage" and came with authentic invisible strings.

I didn't even try to negotiate. You try haggling with a guy in a suit who casually mentions he's done time,

for tax evasion and illegal karaoke.

Now I'm stuck with an imaginary guitar and a very real sense of regret.

But hey, at least I didn’t buy the matching air amp. That was extra.

Anyway, if you have any questions about shady imaginary instruments or underground Japanese music commerce, I’m basically an expert now. Ask me anything.
