Guests,

It's a triple header this weekend with the TGIF Friday party at Xanadu in Shibuya, then the main international party at Nishi Shinjuku with the British-style roast beef/pork carvery and Speed Dating on Sunday.

All men attending Speed Dating will receive a Y1,000 discount ticket for use at any of our international parties!

Then next week we will be at a new venue in Harajuku called "Sakura" with a new menu prepared by our new chef Sean.

We are expecting about 150 people for each of the main Saturday parties. As always, please make your reservations for the Saturday and Friday events one day before for the lower price to help us prepare the food. If you have any questions about the events below e-mail me or tel. 03-3281-4303 for information or (090-1847-5075 during the event for directions)

PARTY DISCOUNTS

An "Annual Party Pass" is available for Y70,000. This will allow the user to attend all the international and singles parties and Speed Dating for an entire year for the initial payment. This will be valid for all Kokusaika events, which is generally 7 to 10 events every month. After buying the initial pass, you just show your pass and walk in. If you attend more than two international parties a month it would be cheaper to buy a pass. If you attend 4 or more a month it would be extremely cheap.

A Y1,000 discount pass for each party is available for an annual fee of Y12,000. Every time you attend an event you will receive a Y1,000 discount. So, after attending 12 times, you start saving money.

Guests can buy either pass at any event after the main check in has finished.

Student discounts available for people aged 20-26 showing valid student ID card. 30-33% off or generally Y1,000 discount to main parties and Y500 discount to Y1,500 parties.
