I cannot remember the name, but to be fair cannot remember any of their names . 
Did have a little fling with one of the bartenders, was fun and she was cool. She was older and she knew was just young and she forgave me, but have a feeling she enjoyed herself as much as me. She was not married thanks for asking.
Okinawa overall all was such a trip...... catered to the Marine Corps and why not, big business. We such nice people though and were for the most part, but I would be mad if that many foreigners were in my home country also and many were.
Which surprised me because there is this base Called Camp Hanson. Go right outside and there is bars everywhere, You ask why they never kick us out of Japan. That is why. Their local economy depends on us. I walked in one store and was so funny.
I am not the biggest guy, but guy had to be 5 3 at best, grabbed a broom. No Marines allowed, go away, you bad people. I heard you have tapes though cassette tapes. I see them right there. AC/DC, me like AC/DC, put your broom away, "no, get out." OK.
Which, left me a bit surprised how a white guy ended up with a bar in the middle of the city of bars that they made for us Marines. Hated Marines or some did, but this guy had a bar to himself. He worked it, no Japanese workers. Probably would not work for him. He did have cool music and the Japanese women loved coming to hang out with us Marines. His musical preference NOFX.
He was really a cool guy and think I asked if he was a former marine or just had a lot money. He gave me a vague answer, do not think he was a marine and do not think he had a lot of money but he had something to get that bar in the middle of the Guinness book of world records for the most bars in a concentrated area. All owned by the Japanese as should be expected.
This guy I think was allowed because he influenced the culture. A few Metal bars but was the only punk bar and think some of the bars based what they played off of what he played which attracted Marines. Metal and punk. They never played punk or hardly ever. Think Rancid made a couple Rage made it quite often, Off Spring was probably one they played the most. Pantera dominated those bars though.
We just stuck to this little bar that not many went to, met nice Japanese ladies and enjoyed some punk music The ladies really enjoyed this style of music because was so different from theirs. I should of asked the guy if could have a job when got out of the Marines. Was to young though.

Isn't it funny how the bars in other countries are so much cooler than ours? I once walked into a bar in Stuttgart and they were playing New Model Army. I was like, "Yeah, I found my hangout!"

I imagine only so many ways you can do it but some bars used to hang dollar bills or staple them to the wall and Marines would write their name on it to say they been there. Thought that was pretty unique, not anything you would see in America and know why because people would steal those respected cherished bills. I actually got in a fight with my good buddy because he was drunk and tearing them down to put in his pocket. I was so mad at him for doing that.

@teamfreak16 That's so cool to hear, always thought honor and was shocked when I first walked into a bar. I was like, well if cannot be done here where can it be done being Marines are supposed to be honorable. Sad to day I saw dishonor but that is life and respect places that try to bring that back.

@crossbones27 - I've been in a few bars in Colorado that do that, but they keep the dollars where people have a hard time getting to them without being obvious.

That's cool, maybe, I guess being a child is a different thing. Having to do what your father does. I imagine mainland. That was totally different than Okinawa, which is pretty Americanized in its own little way, but does stay true to Japanese culture. I imagine nothing like mainland Japan though.
