Some videos from the event I co-hosted there yesterday:

樂園 (rakuen)

I think my internal organs are quite happy with the status quo.

Dog/puppy cafes and some of the cat ones are fine (I think the dog ones are actually daycares that owners leave their pets at?), but anything more exotic like owls etc. are not good for the animals.

My personal pet peeves:
1. Navigating by 'city' (ward) rather than by nearest train station. "I'm staying Koto City,"—friend, are you in Kameido or Odaiba?
2. Assuming the mainstream Shibuya/Shinjuku clubs are "Tokyo nightlife." Club culture goes so much deeper...
3. Going to animal cafes :(

I have both (long story) and infinitely prefer Apple Music. Higher quality, lots of exclusives (interviews etc.), and no irrelevant guff like podcasts and audiobooks filling up the Home Screen. Spotify feels like a messy and engagement-driven social network, AM feels like a real music curation tool.

Revolution+1 looked incredibly cheap, but it seemed to me that the director just didn’t know how to shoot digital. Even on a tiny budget, there’s a lot you can do with lighting, colour grading (incl. film emulation), and editing tricks to bump up the perceived value, and he just didn’t do it.

Dogenzaka is the last bastion, really. Still crazy and messy, perhaps thanks to the love hotels scaring most would-be developers off, and venues like clubasia being true subcultural vanguards (my own documentary about one example: youtu.be/Uwm5zEMeVyg?... ). It’s all after dark though.

Of COURSE Captain D edits in Avid.
