While Tokyo's Harajuku remains a popular district, some say it has lost its shine from the late 80s and early 90s. Local efforts are looking to get its creative juices flowing again. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/02/harajuku-change/

Okay, started and it looks great, but it is so weird seeing their "interpretation" of when I live here and see it every day. It's similar but much smaller scale, and the idea that it would ever be this empty is laughable.

This year, Shibuya is cancelling Halloween. But if it aspires to 'icon' status, it shouldn't be turning people away. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2023/10/30/japan/shibuya-halloween-cancelled-mistake/?utm_content=buffera6b50&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn

Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward was prepared for a potentially raucous Halloween weekend on Saturday, but measures to deter costumed revelers from gathering in the trendy area — including a ban on street drinking — appeared to be relatively effective. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/10/29/japan/society/tokyo-shibuya-halloween-celebrations/?utm_content=buffera28f9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn

We're at bar moon walk right off the Shibuya Scramble, in the basement of a random barely marked building. All drinks 250¥. Each item in the menu has unique rating scales like "addictiveness", "cuteness", and "maturity". They have a colab with Tatami Galaxy too.

Two colorful drinks sitting on a table. One is pink, the other is yellow at the base and blue at the top.
A narrow crowded seating area, packed with people. Pipes line the ceiling. The bar is in the back right.
A menu advertising colorful drinks that match characters from The Tatami Galaxy, next to the basement elevator.

Did you know that the sad scene in is based on a real story?

In 1923, in Akita prefecture, , an Akita Inu puppy was born & adopted by a professor. He named him Hachiko.

Daily, Hachiko waited for his friend at the train station in . But 16 months later, the prof died.

Hachiko started to go to the station to wait for his friend to return.

People noticed & started to leave food, donations were raised...

...& upon his death, a statue was raised for his
.

This is a black and white photo of Hachiko, the Akita dog. The fluffy large puppy sits on its hindlegs. His left ear is slanted downwards a bit. He is looking directly into the camera. The background is a nondescript backyard.
