Fujiya & Miyagi are an English band formed in Brighton in 2000. They are currently signed to Tirk Records in the United Kingdom. They are self-described as being heavily influenced by 70’s Krautrock bands such as Can and Neu! as well as early-90’s electronica bands like Aphex Twin. The origins of the band’s name come from a character in the movie The Karate Kid as well as the brand of a record player.

Visitors can apparently participate in several interactive exhibits and activities from Jedi training to a green screen simulation - which is the effect used to make it look as though you are in actually in the film.
Other attractions we’d like to see, however, include a “Guess Which One’s Heavier: George Lucas’s Wallet or His Chin” competition and of course a life-size Jar Jar Binks, which the public can punch repeatedly.
