Kusari RP?

[Unseelie]

You all are RTFMing him. Except, by saying..."Just go there and watch"

You could also toss in other bits of japanese.

Like Konbonwa, for when its evening.
introduction to Japanese is your friend!

But, deeper than that, rumor rumor news rumor. Get in there, play, interact. Be polite, ask questions. It won't just emerge without you pursuing it, it isn't floating in the clouds.
The levels of xenophobia is dependent much on the players. Roppingi base is very interesting in that regard, in that, there is space for the foriegn in Kusari..a very specific space. I do think you can have a very interesting time just playing turist, or student, and learning things firsthand from the players.

Course, I did just RTFM you. Mostly cause I don't know enough myself.
