Klaus Nomi Reincarnation Home Found in Ota-Ku in Tokyo! World Shocked at Discovery!

A washed up and out-of-work old DJ in Tokyo has made the most startling discovery in years; a house that seems to be the reincarnation of 1980's cult star, Klaus Nomi.

Could it possibly be that the cult star died and returned to earth as a modernist designed home in downtown Tokyo? The evidence points in that direction!

The Klaus Nomi House in Ota Ku Tokyo!

"I was driving along the road when I look over to my right. It was like Lightening striking me!" The man recalled. I turned to my friend and said, "Mate! Blimey! Look at that! It's Klaus Nomi!"

Sure enough, his friend agreed.

Wikipedia says about Klaus Nomi: 

"Klaus Sperber (January 24, 1944 – August 6, 1983), better known as Klaus Nomi, was a German countertenor noted for his wide vocal range and an unusual, otherworldly stage persona. Nomi was known for his bizarrely visionary theatrical live performances, heavy make-up, unusual costumes, and a highly stylized signature hairdo which flaunted a receding hairline. His songs were equally unusual, ranging from synthesizer-laden interpretations of classical music opera to covers of 1960s pop standards like Chubby Checker's "The Twist" and Lou Christie's "Lightnin' Strikes". 

He is remembered in the US as one of David Bowie's backup singers for a 1979 performance on Saturday Night Live. 

Nomi died in 1983 at the age of 39 as a result of complications from AIDS."

Even in black and white, the resemblance is uncanny!

Upon getting out of his car and taking the above photos, the out-of-work DJ in Japan, who only goes by the name "Mike" said he asked the old Japanese neighbors if they'd ever seen Klaus Nomi hanging around in the neighborhood. They all waved their hands in the air and replied, 

"No English!"

Mike recalled that he was surprised at their response as Nomi was a German and not an Englishman.

When Mike knocked on the door of the Nomi House, there was no one home.

Japan's Shotgun Houses

In America, they have what is termed as a "Shotgun House." In Japan we have something quite similar.

A shotgun house is a house that is small and rectangular and has no hallways and usually three rooms. Since the house has no hallways and the doors are always on the same side, it is said that one could fire a shotgun through the front door and the shot would fly cleanly out the back door.

Wikipedia states:

The shotgun house is a narrow rectangular domestic residence, usually no more than 12 feet (3.5 m) wide, with doors at each end. It was the most popular style of house in the Southern United States from the end of theAmerican Civil War (1861–65), through to the 1920s. Alternate names include shotgun shack, shotgun hut, andshotgun cottage. A railroad apartment is somewhat similar, but has a side hallway from which rooms are entered (by analogy to compartments in passenger rail cars).

See the rest of a VERY interesting Wikipedia article about Shotgun Houses here.

In Japan, we don't call them shotgun houses, but we have something like them here. There is one that is near my house. I'll be that, if you stood up in this house and stretched your arms out, you could touch both sides of the wall in any room. I can't imagine how tiny the kitchen and bathroom are.

Here's another photo of a very narrow house in Japan that I found online:

Incredible, but I count four rooms in this home! It's so narrow in there that you don't even have room to change your mind!
