Ramen and Hard Rock

*External link to the Japanese website

I ate ramen with Koba at Ramen Kagemusha (らーめん影武者), Akihabara (秋葉原) about 8:30 p.m.
（I have eaten it there just 2 weeks ago.）

I chose large-sized ramen with optional slices of boiled pork (らーめん大 豚入り) (930 yen) while Koba ordered large-sized one (らーめん大) (780 yen).
As we were eating it there, we started hearing a Hard Rock song being played inside of this shop; "Knocking at Your Back Door" from Perfect Strangers (1984) by a British Hard Rock band, DEEP PURPLE.
I love this band as well as Koba therefore we ate ramen with talking about them.
Asking staffs of this shop about that song as we left it, they answered that two of them had loved DEEP PURPLE since they were junior-high school students when this band came to Japan in order to give shows at Tokyo and Osaka 1972. (These shows are recorded on live album Made in Japan (Live in Japan) 1972.)

Long live Kagemusha whose staffs love Hard Rock music!
I would like to support them as one of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock fans and ramen fans.

After leaving this shop about 9:00 p.m., we chatted at McDonald's, Suehiro-cho (末広町) until 0 a.m.
We were listening to many Hard Rock or Heavy Metal songs through the internet with my laptop computer or my Gigabeat because we listened to DEEP PURPLE at Kagemusha therefore wanted more such songs.
