Scissor hands, beer, Harajuku, Shakey's, melon, study!

Headphones, trumpet, burger, "fire"

edit: The Russian guy is pretty much confirmed to be the one who set off the fire extinguisher. He was apparently picking fights and being a menace the whole night.

Natto!

Discovery!

So I've heard from a few sources that music is a good way to practice and learn Japanese. I've tried this before a few times with mediocre results, so I haven't really been doing that a lot. I tried to do it today with a different method, and I think this will work very well for me.

http://www.jpopasia.com Will sometimes have both English and full Japanese lyrics (It is less useful if it is just the romanization) for songs. I found this one to be quite good: http://www.jpopasia.com/lyrics/6825/ellegarden/kaze-no-hi.html. Use Rikkaichan on the full Japanese, and sing along with the music. Do this over and over until you can sing the whole song full speed and understand everything that is said in the song. Maybe make a vocab set in Anki if you have trouble remembering some of the words.
