Uncanny signs in Tokyo

I decided to post a few snapshots of signs I took
on my last trip to Japan (日本).

The place: Tōkyō (東京)
Below are several city districts I visited.

Harajuku (原宿)









Deep inside Shinjuku (新宿) is a place called
Kabukicho (歌舞伎町). Also known as
"Tokyo's largest red-light district".











Roppongi
(六本木)
Notice this last image that says Skin Head. Look closely now.
You'll see three black males from Nigeria sitting right next
to it. Perhaps they're just as clueless to the meaning as the
Japanese? I don't know. Either way I took my chances
by taking a photo while they were preoccupied and unaware.
