One day at Kabukicho #DAY75 - A night of a day when the daytime temperature rose close to 40℃.

I and my friend, the group, actually wanted to go have udon at Tsurutontan the last time. However, as I wrote in the last article, we eventually ended up going to a ramen restaurant called Kamukura for the first time due to the opening hours.

As I mentioned in a title, some places even recorded temperatures close to 40℃ (About 104.0℉) as the daytime maximum on this day. It's also not different in Tokyo. It's really hot. Even during night, it's exceeding 30℃ as if it's completely normal.

Probably due to the intense heat, even the greenery look completely exhausted.

It's like, you know, this back view already tells the story how heat it is.

I was wandering around an area near Azuma Street and Sakura Street on this day. I tried taking photos like this between buildings.

I also tried taking photos of somewhat decayed-looking signboards.

I also tried taking photos of host club staff walking side by side, calling out to girls who seem to completely ignore them and seem to get annoyed them a scene that can be seen everywhere in this city.

Seriously, just walking around taking photos for even an hour or two makes me all sweaty this season. Indeed, walking and sweating like that is so uncomfortable, but why is it that sweating in a sauna feels pleasant? Cold bath that recently I finally have been able to take, is comfortable too.

See you then.
