Kinema Club X: at SCMS in Tokyo SURVEY LINK

[drainer at mpinet.net]

I replied to him off list, but I suggested Manboo, as it's in every major 
area of Tokyo, and relatively cheap. Some of the more business-oriented 
internet cafes add on an extra 200-300 yen per hour for the same service. If 
you don't mind foregoing the nicer chair, it makes no difference. All of 
them are filled with smoke anyway :)
