Johnny Jeana: Portrait Of A Tokyo Rockabilly

I've always enjoyed the massive amounts of sub-cultures that permeate Tokyo society. At least, from my viewpoint it seems like that's a thing. I'm sure most of the country is just regular folks doing regular things but if you're interested in digging up some wildly devoted group of people connected to a niche interest - Anime, Furries, Rock-a-billy, - Tokyo isn't the worst place to start.

I've known about the Rockabilly Gangs for awhile but never took a deep dive into it. I didn't realize it was kind of a dying art. Watching this James Partridge short, Johnny Jeana: Portrait of a Tokyo Rockabilly, was a nice re-introduction to the style and lifestyle of that particular group. I'd forgotten how fascinating it is to see a group of grown men dressed to the nines performing dance moves from the 50's.

It's six minutes. You have six minutes of time to indulge in Johnny's tale. Just be prepared for a Google deep-dive afterwards to see more.
