One day＠Kabukicho #DAY175 - Why haven't I been to Kabukicho for over a month again?
Before I knew it, more than a month had passed since I last went to Kabukicho amidst my busy daily life. My usual friend lightly pointed it out to me, and I realized how much time had passed. So, after about a month, I went back to Kabukicho to take some photos.
バタバタな日常を送る中で気づいたら最後に歌舞伎町に行ってから1ヶ月以上の時間が経っていた。いつもの友達に軽ーくそれを指摘されて、もうそんなに経っていたのかーと。そんなわけで約1ヶ月ぶりくらいにまた歌舞伎町で撮ってきました。
I was able to go to Kabukicho about an hour before meeting up with my friend this time, so I was able to start taking photos around 9pm, which is quite early for me. I feel like delivering of Uber Eats in Kabukicho could be a very efficient way to earn money, but I wonder how it actually is in reality.
今回は友達との待ち合わせの1時間くらい前に歌舞伎町に行くことができたのもあって、21時くらいとか結構自分的には早めな時間に写真を撮り出すことができた。歌舞伎町で Uber Eats の配達とかするのってすごい効率よく稼げそうに思えるんだけど、実際のところはどうなんだろう？
I hardly ever go to the convenience store anymore since I quit smoking. I mostly use Uber Eats for meals especially for dinner. I think that the convenience store food at other convenience stores is more delicious, but unfortunately, the closest convenience store to my home is a Seven-Eleven, and I can't really find their convenience store food to be all that tasty. By just adding a few hundred yen to the Seven-Eleven convenience store food, I can order much more delicious food through Uber Eats. I just want to enjoy delicious meal and taking it easy when having dinner.
タバコをやめたらコンビニに行くことがほとんどなくなった。ごはんは大体 Uber Eats。他のコンビニのコンビニごはんはもっとおいしかったりすると思うんだけど、自宅の最寄りのコンビニは残念ながらセブンイレブンで、そのセブンイレブンのコンビニごはんは残念ながら大しておいしいと思えない。セブンイレブンのコンビニごはんに数百円足すだけで Uber Eats で、もっと全然おいしいごはんが食べられる。ごはんくらいゆっくりとおいしいのを食べたい。
In this age, it has become rare to see scenes of people making political statements in places like this square. I try not to make personal political statements in public places, including the web, but... I mean, I can't help it. I'm afraid of backlash. Despite all the talk about diversity, if we deviate even slightly from what everyone else considers diversity, we immediately get attacked, you know.
このご時世、こういった広場なんかで政治的主張をする景色は珍しくなったね。自分はウェブを含めたパブリックな場所では個人的な政治的主張はあまりしないようにしているけど・・・というかね、できない。炎上が怖くて。多様性多様性言われているくせに、みんなの言うところの多様性と少しでもズレているとすぐ炎上するじゃん。
I've been satisfied with the sauna at the gym recently, so I haven't been going there as often, but the sauna I used to go to frequently was in the basement of this building. I wonder if I should go again.
最近はジムのサウナで満足しているからあまり行くこともなくなったけど、一時期よく行っていたサウナはこの建物の地下。また行ってみようかなぁ。
While I was shooting, it was a bit too cold outside so I stopped by the game center to warm myself up a bit. I sometimes use the restroom and rely on this game center for various things. I'm sorry I've never actually played any games here. Instead, I occasionally buy juice from the vending machine, so I hope you can forgive me.
撮影していたら外がちょっと寒すぎて少し暖を取るために寄ったゲーセン。このゲーセンではトイレを借りることもあったり、いろいろとお世話になってます。ただ一度もゲームをしたことがなくってごめんなさい。その代わり自販機でジュースは時々買うから許していただければ。
Just before the last train, I was walking through a decent crowd when this guy said, "You have a nice camera" I replied, "Do you want me to take a photo?" and they struck a pose for me.
終電ギリギリ前の時間、それなりの人混みを歩いていたら「いいカメラだね」って声をかけられて「撮ろっか？」って言ったらポーズをとってくれた。
It's not really a bad thing in itself, but my work is just too busy. And it seems that work will continue to progress at the current pace or even busier for a while. Actually, it's a hassle to come all the way to Kabukicho when I'm tired. It's like I just want to be at home! But when I actually come to Kabukicho, meet with the friend, talk, take photos, I start to feel a bit energized. Anyway, even though I'm busy, I feel like it's better to go out instead of staying at home all the time.
See you then.
別にそれ自体は全然悪いことじゃないんだけど、仕事が忙しすぎる。そしてしばらく今のペースかもっと忙しいペースで仕事が進んでいきそう。実はね、疲れていると歌舞伎町まで出てくるのも面倒になるんだよ。もう家にいたーい！みたいな。だけどいざ歌舞伎町に来て、友達と会って話して、写真を撮って、ってやっていると少し気力が湧いてくる。とにかく。忙しくてもずーっと家に引きこもりじゃなくって、外出はした方がいいなーって感じさせられましたとさ。
ほなまたー。
