Well maybe now with the much longer title we can finally see a stop to all the "I'm going to to Japan just for Hard-Off" threads by all the gai-n00bs polluting the internet.

That is some pretty awesome theme music?  Is that what they play in the background while you wander through the store?

A question: what we'll use as a example to laugh at the engrish that the japanese usually love to use? DOWNLOAD's game over screens does not count.

Yes, that music apparently plays on a constant loop in the stores. Proof = http://www.youtube.com/user/lukemorse1/search?query=hard+off

Even in Yakuza 4 I'm embarassed to go into hostess clubs (actually one of the first, unavoidable missions is to actually play a dress-up-the-hostess minigame  [-X)... I can't believe a westerner would enjoy such activities.

???  A maid cafe is not a hostess club.  Totally different really.  And @Home is about as innocent as you can get.  Haven't been to that one personally though, as Osaka girls have the bigger boobs. :)
