— Japanese call them futenzoku, which
“crazy tribe.” Americans, if judging by out^appearance and personal habits only, might idenKiaem as hippies.

Ifciever they are, the futenzoku are the current
Ljn of the Japanese social scene. Illustrated •
Roles about them have appeai’ed in the principal

house,” which is that area in Shinjuku, the Tokvo
counterpart of New York City’s Greenwich village.'
Several million commuters in the world’s most
populous city who use the giant Shinjuku transporta­

The bearded, unkempt males and their miniskirted
girl companions are also seen in favorite Shinjuku cof­
fee shops, which stay open all night and feature con­
tinuous rock’n’ roll music. The futenzoku are expert
go-go dancers.
A futenzoku member who calls himself “sabu”_ _
many have fanciful names — told an interviewer that
many of the group spend as much as 16 hours a day

in coffee shops, When exhausted from continuous
dancing, they nap awhile at their tables.
Students of the group’s habit say that most are
habitual users of sleeping pills, “there’s nothing like
dancing under the influence of sleeping pills,” said a
futensoku male with a beatle haircut who was iden­
tified as “Ken.” “You start getting numb from the
hands and feet, then the arms and legs. Your vision
becomes blurred.”
The futenzoku apparently shun “hard” drugs like
heroin and their consumption of alcohol is not im­
moderate.
But Shukan Asahi commented: “They place no
importance on chastity, and disdain prevailing sexual
morals.”
