While most of this year's NYE parties are taking place in the same clubs you can go to every weekend, here's a notable exception. The 27th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo will be staging Tokyo's most opulent – and expensive – countdown party, with martial artists and cheerleaders to supplement the music. Ibiza diva Rebeka Brown makes her debut Japan appearance to headline the event, with local house heavyweight Masanori Morita and DJ Vivid also on board. In a sophisticated touch befitting of the surroundings, the countdown will be led by a team of traditional otsuzumi drummers – very snazzy.
