I’ve probably only been to Tokyo a dozen times in my 10+ years in Japan, but given the chance I’d love to go again. If I were a rapper, I’d put my baseball cap on backwards, wave my hands around and describe Tokyo like this:
Here we go, to To-ki-yo, where’s the gents? It’s so immense, intense, can’t pay the rents. Feelin’ crowded, astounded, tradition surrounded by concrete towers, 24 hours, pick up the pace, it’s in your face, live in a suitcase, international taste and waste. Shoulder to shoulder, wall to wall, culture, vulture, Tokyo sprawl.
Ahem. Fortunately I’m not a rapper, so I won’t expose you to anymore of my lyrical creations! Instead, watch this great video montage of Tokyo. You’ll either wish you were there, or be glad you’re not!
Can’t see the video? View it here on Youtube.
