rockin’ out.  there a few pedestrian bridges near osaka train station.  you can frequently hear bands playing.  part of the reason is to get exposure, part of the reason is that houses are relatively small and close together, so playing music with your band might not go over well with your neighbors.

frequently you will see a small group of fans sitting or standing by and listening to a band.

a lonely serenade.  poor guy, nobody is paying attention to him.

the world is moving, but this taxi is standing still.

more taxis in the umeda part of osaka.  this time everyone is standing still.  how do they earn any money sitting around?

the taxis in japan are always squeaky clean.

from the pedestrian bridge looking down at the crowds.  i think i captured some ghosts in this photo.  do you see them?

he bought his girlfriend a belated birthday present.  focusing on what he will say to her, the world has become a blur.

daredevils.

friday night, doing what you love.  i see many people in japan standing in stores reading, but not buying magazines.

we don’t know you.
