I have no idea what Banzai is referring to, but you'll have a great time Tokyo Twist. No need to "watch your back" when school is out and Japan is not as complex for the visitor as Banzi claims.

Since I am not living there at present, I cannot tell you which places to go to have a drink or anything as I am not familiar with that scene anymore as I usually visit the places in my old neighborhood outside of Tokyo. Maybe someone else can chime in who is living there.

Are you going alone? Do you have friends there who can take you out? In Shinjuku and Shibuya and Harajuku you should be able to just go about anyplace for a drink and meet new people without any hassle. Have a great time and tell us how it was when you get back!
