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.

前回本当はつるとんたんにうどんを食べに行きたかった自分と友達一行。けど営業時間の都合で初見の神座(かむくら)に行ったって話は前回書いた通り。そんなわけで今回はちゃんとつるとんたんへ。

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.

タイトルにもしたけどこの日の日中の最高気温は40℃近くを記録したところもあったほど。東京でもそれは変わらない。ホント暑い。夜でも普通に30℃超えているとか。

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

猛烈な暑さのせいか緑もぐったり。

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

なんというか、もうこういう後ろ姿が暑さを物語っているんだよな。

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

この日は東通りとかさくら通りの辺りを中心に歩き回っていた。建物と建物の間のこんな写真を撮ってみたり。

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

なんか朽ちたような看板を撮ってみたり。

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.

この街ではどこでも見かけるような女の子にすごい迷惑そうに無視されながらも声をかけながら横並びで歩いていくホストの人を撮ってみたり。

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.

ホント、この時期は一時間とか二時間とか写真を撮って歩いているだけで汗だくになる。それにしても歩いてかく汗はあんなに気持ち悪いのに、なんでサウナでかく汗は気持ちいいんだろう。最近入れるようになった水風呂も気持ちいいっす。

ほなまた。
