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!
