Newcastle United fans have been getting to grips with Tokyo's manic transport links and hectic lifestyle during their stay in Tokyo.
For the players dealing with severe heat of over 35 degrees during training has been tough while Japanese supporters are encamped outside the team hotel in the centre of the city as they try to catch a glimpse of their heroes. Anybody who has seen the hit movie Lost in Translation, starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, will appreciate the scale and pace of life in Tokyo and even the struggle to be understood so far away from home.
But during the press conference before the game one thing wasn't lost in translation! As a question was posed from a Japanese journalist to Eddie Howe and Dan Burn, it sounded like said something about Newcastle Brown Ale, something that quickly caught the 6ft 7in defender's attention and seemed to amuse him.

The translator revealed what had been said and commented to Blyth lad Burn: "In Japan we do have our own Newcastle supporters club and they drink Brown Ale almost every day and chant Dan Burn all the time, do you have a chant you want them to sing?"
At this point Burn burst into hysterics, with Howe also laughing along, and said: "Wow I am really impressed that they drink Brown Ale every day! Not even I drink Brown Ale, that is loyal.
"Look it is amazing that we have a fanbase over here, as a club we are looking to expand."
Burn then showed his selfless side and said: "Chant wise, nothing particularly for me! But the Joelinton chant is my favourite as well as the Alexander Isak song, if I could hear them sung in Japan I'd be very happy.
"I'm excited because even though I've been to many places around the world, I don't often get a chance to come to Japan. I'd like to gain new fans if possible."
Eddie Howe's message on England job makes the newspapers in Japan
The global world is still getting its breath back after the European Championships, and while many Newcastle fans are just glad that the domestic season is just around the corner, the discussion about the next England boss was still hot on the lips of overseas media.
With one of the candidates sat in front of them in Tokyo, Howe was never going to escape more questions about his own position. But as the Toon boss was getting hos own breath back after the intense conditions at the Komazawa Olympic Park stadium, he was very much wearing his black and white cap - quite literally!
Howe apologised to the media for wearing it but said it was a better option given the sticky conditions. But if anybody hadn't heard him the first time, after his quotes from Germany were deemed open-ended, Howe was quick to shut down England talk.
This led to Japan Today leading on Howe's England quotes and they reported: "Howe shrugged off suggestions that his players needed to hear directly from him about his loyalty to Newcastle while public speculation about his future swirled."
But by the time he had left the room, the conversation between travelling and overseas reporters was that he'd pretty much nailed his colours to the black and white mast. As for the next England boss, well that now appears to be a more national story as Howe made it clear he was looking ahead to qualifying for the Champions League once more.
