I used to see the Rockabilly dancers all around Yayogi Park in Shibuya (1). These guys would hang out in the park on the weekend with pompadours and jean/leather jackets and do goofy dances. It was sick. Something about Japanese culture encourages dedication to your hobbies, and people get super involved in them.

They're still very much there in 2025.
That’s awesome
Watched them in January this year, cold and windy and they were still going hard. It was a lot of fun!
