Tokyo’s Rockabillies, 2009
Japan is reputedly the second largest market in Asia after Australia for sales of Elvis music.
In Tokyo’s trendy Harajuku district there stands a statue of Elvis, erected by the country’s ex prime minister Junichiro Koizumi, a self described Elvis devotee who shares his birthday with the late singer.
The statue sits outside Love Me Tender, a store dedicated to Elvis memorabilia.
And not so far away, lovers of the era gathered on a Sunday in August last year for Tokyo Rockabilly Club’s annual Day of Rock N’ Roller.
