One day at Kabukicho #DAY144 - A temperature of a cold water bath of the sauna I went to after a while was 10℃, so it was too cold for me.
At one time, I used to go to a sauna in Kabukicho every time I visited. I didn't go there from one time on. I'm sure there's no particular reason why I stopped going. I think I just stopped going somehow. However, I just really felt like going to the sauna for the first time in a long time, so I went to the sauna for the first time in a few months.
一時期、歌舞伎町にやってくると毎回のように行っていたサウナ。いつ頃からか行くことがなくなってしまった。なんで行かなくなったのかなんて、きっと特にこれっていう理由はない。ただなんとなく行かなくなっただけだと思う。ただ久しぶりにすごくサウナに入りたくなったので、数ヶ月ぶりにサウナに行ってきた。
First, I slowly enjoyed taking the sauna. After that, I thought to take a cold bath, it was just as the title of this article suggests. The cold bath was ridiculously cold. I checked the water temperature guage, it says that water temperature is just below 10 degrees Celsius, so it's no wonder it feels cold. But I remember the water temperature of that sauna wasn't this low when I used to go there before.
とりあえずサウナにゆっくり入る。それで水風呂にでも入ろうかと思ったら、今回の記事のタイトルの通りだった。なんかめちゃくちゃ水風呂が冷たい。水温計を見ると10℃を切るか切らないか、みたいな水温。そりゃあ冷たいわけだ。でもそのサウナ、前に行っていた頃はこんなに水温低くなかったはずなんだよなぁ・・・。
After taking the sauna and relaxing for a bit, I walk around Kabukicho. There were guys so-called TŌYOKO Kids. Maybe they've been back for a while now, and I just didn't notice. There weren't them there recently, so there'd been quite and deserted.
サウナを上がってちょっとゆっくりしてから歌舞伎町の街を歩く。トー横にキッズ達がいた。自分が気づかなかっただけで、もしかして結構前から戻ってきていたのかな？一時期は閑散としている時期もあったんだけどな。
The owner of this bicycle appeared. He had a camera hanging from his neck. When I took a look, it was a Leica Q with an optical viewfinder. When he was leaving on his bike, I noticed that he saw me with my Leica M camera hanging and he looked at me, so I did not speak, but I lightly greeted him with my eyes and he smiled back at me.
この自転車の持ち主が現れた。首からカメラを下げている。よく見てみたら光学ファインダーを載せたライカQだった。自転車に乗って立ち去る時、M型ライカをぶら下げた自分に気づいたようでこっちを見ていたので、言葉は交わさなかったが目で軽く挨拶してみたら微笑み返してくれた。
A bar filled with visitors from foreign countries. Some part of seats and tables of this bar is facing the street and they're like open terrace, so I have always thought that it's nice place and location as well to drink alcohol. By the way, it was quite late, but there are so many people drinking. They must be the ones who don't need to take the train.
異国の訪問者達に埋め尽くされたバー。このバーは通りに面した部分がオープン席になっていて、街の雰囲気を感じながら飲むには良さそうな場所だなって以前から思っていた。ちなみに結構遅い時間だったのにこれだけの人が飲んでいるのは、きっと彼らは電車移動が必要な人達ではないんだろうな。
As I was developing the photos I took, I realized that this time I had been wandering around the area of the Toho Building (the former location of the Koma Theater) all the time.
撮った写真を現像していて気付いたけど、今回の自分は東宝ビル（昔のコマ劇場の場所）の周りをずーっとウロウロしていたみたい。
Well, this time it was another weekend night, so I'm sure there were plenty of people who decided to spend the night in this city until morning. I also ended up staying until after 3 am. and it was after 3:30 am when I got back home. After that, I finished all the pre-processing work before developing the photos and then go to bed. I didn't have the energy to develop photos at that moment, after 4 am.
See you then.
まあ今回はまた週末の夜だったし、きっと朝までこの街で過ごそうって人もいっぱいいたんだろうな。自分もなんだかんだで午前3時過ぎまでいたし。家に戻ったのが午前3時半過ぎ。そこから写真の現像前の下処理まで終わらせてから就寝。さすがに午前4時過ぎから写真の現像をする気力は残っていなかった。
ほなまた。
