Great post! I'm in my first Japanese apartment here in Fukuoka and I'm in the middle of it all. It's pretty cool and the noise outside (trucks, people) is what I expected. Restaurants and bars close between 2-5am in the area so there's noise until pretty late. People irashaimase the hell out of other people, dishes, bonzai action, etc etc. The bosozoku biker gangs - I didn't know the name for these fools. Tthey wake me up. I'm not used to it so I wake up not knowing what the hell is going on. It happens about once a week. One great experience was hearing them rev the engines around 4am and then the cop sirens directly followed. The neighbors - I can hear them. I can hear them walking. I can hear them opening and closing the sliding doors. I can hear them snore. But I never hear them talk. I am assuming that we're the loud neighbors and that's no good. I guess I have the remaining 5 from your list to look forward to. LOL! Great post! I’m in my first Japanese apartment here in Fukuoka and I’m in the middle of it all.

Good point about dogs. There are a few "yippy" dogs around here, too. Yeah, we both seemed to have avoided the bosozoku up here in Kakamigahara, so we are very, very lucky.

I don't see why they need to practise breaking the sound barrier at 100 meters. Perhaps it's the military's way of preparing us for those really big thunder claps? I'd add dogs to this list. It seems everywhere I've lived in the last 15 years has had those annoying yippy dogs that never know when to shut up. They'll yip at grass, shadows, people, cars and their tail. My God, when do they stop for air!?!? I haven’t seen the bosozuko around here, but the planes are enough to drive me nuts sometimes.

And what makes it even worse (if that's possible) is the high-pitched females that usually speak for the male sme*heads, instead of speaking for themselves. Then you get the foot soldiers outside stations and other places of commute, offering me, yes! ME!! a manifesto!! It's enough to give them the middle finger considering i pay enough taxes. But then i remember where i am. Totally agree about the politicians.

This is so true!! All except Bosozuku which I haven't really seen around my for the last few years. Apparently the govt has done a good job cracking down on them http://japansugoi.com/wordpress/the-bosozoku-%e6%9a%b4%e8%b5%b0%e6%97%8f-biker-gangs-of-japan/ Now, I'd just wish the govt can crack down on the politicians with megaphones. That drives me crazy Ha! This is so true!! All except Bosozuku which I haven’t really seen around my for the last few years. Apparently the govt has done a good job cracking down on them
