Best Can Ever

I used to drink this coffee when I lived in Japan. Japanese are crazy for canned coffee, go figure. A little Asian grocery store opened by my house so I stopped in to check it out. They had UCC cold coffee so I bought a couple for nostalgia's sake and some Pokey pretzels, another great Japanese invention.

Well this has to be the most awesome can available on the market. This thing is made out of steel, none of this tin stuff. Have been shooting these for a couple of weeks and regular cans do not even come close.

It’s probably tin plated steel like other “tin cans”

The jazz scene is really Hot in Japan.

Japan is an amazing place. I lived in Yokosuka for five years in the Navy. Tokyo is crazy. They have the best public transportation system I have ever seen. The cars are like nothing in America. I had a Digital Audio Tape Walkman, CD quality sound on tape. Not even allowed in America. Food is excellent. People are very friendly and helpful. They have love motels every where. Was a great time.

I am of the age group I can remember when DAT was going to be The Next Big Thing. 10 years later, I remember a local DJ complaining about how he and one other guy at the station were apparently the only people East of the Mississippi to buy DAT players.

DAT's were really big in Japan. I had a decent stereo and made DAT tapes from analog and digital sources. I really liked it, made mix tapes and had tapes and photos together. About two years after I got back to the states my DAT head unit died. I took it to an Onkyo repair shop and the tech freaked out and said it was illegal, he would loose his job if he worked on it. Couldn't find anyone that would repair it. Ended up tossing it during a move after that. CD's were the big deal by then. Now it is streaming. Go figure.
 
I don't recall DAT every being illegal in the US. Had a buddy in the late early 2000s who was big into DAT. Used to go to concerts and bring his DAT along with stereo Shure mics he would mount to the brim of a baseball cap. Very stealthy. He had more concert bootlegs than anyone I ever met. Never sold them or anything - just kept for his personal collection.

I had to look it up on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Tape

The RIAA thought that the DAT format was going to make it too easy to copy stuff. They lobbied to have it outlawed. Bunch of crooks. They must have lost their minds over the whole Napster episode and the internet.
