One day at Kabukicho #DAY72 - The city that should've been crowded seemed deserted when I came out of a sauna.
Before going to a sauna, the streets were even more crowded than usual. However, when I came out of the sauna, somehow the number people there decreased suddenly. By the way, the first one of this time is a photo of Kabukicho Ichiban-gai's gate that I've rarely taken so far.
サウナに行く前はいつも以上に街中が混んでた。なのにサウナから出てきたらなぜか一気に人がいなくなっていた。ちなみに今回一枚目は今まで撮ったことあるようであまりなかった歌舞伎町一番街のゲートの写真。
Since I got able to properly immerse myself in a cold-water bath for the first time on my previous visit, sweating in sauna has become even more enjoyable than before. What to say, it's great that I can empty my mind when I'm relaxing in sauna, even though during days that I always think about something.
前回行った時に生まれて初めてまともに水風呂に入れるようになってから、サウナで汗流すのが今まで以上に楽しくなった。なんというか、いつも何か頭の中で考え続けている日常の中で、サウナでゆっくり過ごしている時だけは頭の中を空っぽにできるのがいい。
Before heading to the sauna, I wandered around Kabukicho on this day as well, just strolling around. Even though I take around 100 photos each time, there're only a few that I feel are good enough. In reality, snap photography doesn't always result in perfect shots. There're also days that I cannot get any good photos.
さて、そんなサウナに行く前にこの日も歌舞伎町をぶらぶらと巡回。毎回100枚とか写真撮っていても、その中でいいかなーって思えるのは数枚あればいいかって感じ。実際問題、スナップ撮影なんて常にいいものが撮れるわけじゃない。全然撮れない日だってある。
I wonder if he ran out of energy here?
ここで力尽きちゃったのかな？
Somehow I got caught up in the light and ended up taking the photo.
なんか光に誘われて撮っちゃった。
Even after I started taking photos of people in the city, I just can't stop taking shots like this. There are various graffiti in the city, some are showy, while others are simple. This one is one of simple.
街の人の写真をいろいろ撮るようになってからも、こういうのを撮るのはやめられないんだよなー。街のラクガキにも派手なのと地味なのといろいろとあるんだけど、これは地味な方だな。
After 2am, I wonder where they are going riding on a motorcycle? By the way, I actually saw these guys a few hours before this in a completely different location in Kabukicho. I confirmed it with the photos I took.
深夜2時過ぎ、バイクに乗ってどこに行くんだろう？ちなみに実はこの子達はこの数時間前に歌舞伎町の全く別の場所でも見かけていたんだよな。撮った写真でも確認済み。
For the last shot, I took this photo because they looked having so much fun. When this area is crowded, we'll see these guys holding shop signs all around. But when people start to leave, they seem to get bored and I could take looking fun moments. I'm gonna come here again when the crowd has dispersed and see what it's like.
See you then.
最後はなーんか楽しそうだなーって思って撮った一枚。人がいっぱいいる時のこの辺りはこんな感じの子達がお店の看板持っていっぱい立っているんだけど、人が退いていくと暇になっちゃうからなのか、こんな楽しそうなのが撮れた。また今度、人が退いた時間にこの辺りに来てみよう。
ほなまた。
