Rain, umbrellas, loyal pups and #JapaneseBoyband trucks at #紅芋 ShibuyaCrossing Tokyo. Shibuya pedestrian crossing is this vast zebra crossing where at times hundreds of people cross at once and somehow do r bump in to one another or get into jostling. Then there’s all the noise from billboards and pop-band trucks. I even saw one truck with transparent sides enclosing a group of lost-looking teen guys miming into microphones while the truck was stuck at the lights.
I sympathise completely, in my twinky chorus boy days I remember being in a Bill Kenwright touring prouduction of #josephandtheamazingtechnicolordreamcoat, on in Inverness, and we were stuck shirtless in dungarees circling the Inverness one-way system in an open truck forced to do a promotion, raining and cold, singing into microphones “I closed my eyes…”. We all closed our eyes really . So sympathy with the guys and gals in the pop band trucks.

Another thing Shibuya is famous for is #Hachikō #ハチ公, (Nov 10, 1923 – March 8, 1935) according to @wikipedia “a Japanese #Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno’s death.”
