One day at Kabukicho #DAY12 - By my new car.
This night was the first night to visit Kabukicho by my new car, Mazda MX-5. Licence plate is hidden by edit just in case. I can do almost whatever I wanna do if there's Photoshop.
この日の夜は新しい車、マツダの ロードスター で歌舞伎町に初めて行った。念の為ナンバーは編集で隠しておいた。Photoshop があれば大体なんでもできる。
A panoramic view of a batting center I usually watch. I've wanted to take a panoramic view of this batting center, but I didn't have any idea where to take from. But on this day, I finally found it. By the way, one letter of sign is not lighing, ya?
よくみているバッティングセンターの全景。ずっとこのバッティングセンターの全景は撮りたかったんだけど、今までどこから撮ればいいのかわかんなかった。けどこの日、やっと見つけた。んだけど一文字光ってないね？
I have seen a lot of graffiti in this city Kabukicho. But what happened to this vending machine?! It's too much, isn't it?!
歌舞伎町でラクガキはいっぱい見てきた。けどこの自販機に何があったんだ？！やりすぎじゃね？！
Let's see other vending machines on this opportunity. Series of vending machines. First, a standard vending machine.
この機会に他の自販機も見てみよう。自販機シリーズ、まずは普通の自販機。
I know, it's "Kabukicho that's the city never sleeps", but... This is just a vending machine, so too sexy, isn't it?
うん、ここは『眠らない街、歌舞伎町』だけどさ・・・これはただの自販機なわけで、セクシーすぎやしませんか？
Next to the sexy vending machine, there was an umbrella hung and left all alone. Somehow it makes me go sad.
セクシーな自販機の横に傘がポツンと吊るしてあった。なんか悲しくなってきた。
Because this is after I found vending machine with graffiti by only black spray, I feel it's peaceful and sort of kindness for this graffiti somehow.
黒色のスプレーのみで自販機に描かれたラクガキを見つけた後だから、なんかこのラクガキに平和と優しさを感じてしまう。
I found a new issue of "MYHOS", so I took a photo.
『MYHOS』の新しいの見つけたから写真撮っておいた。
Next to the MYHOS, there was another freepaper called "DOKANT". According to thier website, this seems to be job magazine of type of manual labor.
MYHOS の隣には別の『ドカント』ってフリーペーパーがあった。ウェブサイト見ると肉体労働系の求人雑誌っぽい。
Saying "Stop" on the upper side. Saying "Do not enter" on the lower side.
上には『止まれ』、下には『進入禁止』。
There was a photo familiar to look on the right bottom. I guess this is montage photo of a cold case called "Case of 300 million yen". That is a very famous cold case that happened in Japan late 60s, 300 million yen that was being transported for salary, was stolen by a robber acting a police officer.
右下に見覚えのある写真が。たぶん3億円事件のモンタージュ写真だ。英文版だと長々書いているけど、ただ3億円事件の説明書いているだけなのであしからず。
Taking with thinking nothing. Sometimes that is also important.
何も考えずに撮る。そういうのも時には重要。
I often open a roof of my car especially night time. This doesn't change since I drove Z4, my previous car. But when going to Kabukicho, actually I don't open a roof, because it's scaring, imaginig if something may happen. Even though how much I love opening a roof of my car, Kabukicho is a city that makes me want to close a roof to get protected by it.
Now Yuzu-san is calling me, so I'm going. See you then.
自分は車の屋根は特に夜はオープンにしていることが多くて、これは Z4 に乗ってた時から変わらないんだけど、歌舞伎町に行く時は実は閉じてる。なんか起きたらって考えると怖いから。オープンカーが大好きな自分でも、歌舞伎町は屋根を閉じておいて、その屋根に守られたくなる、そんな街。
ゆずさんが呼んでいるので行ってくる。ほなまた。
