Meteoroscape photography expressed the “Night Lives Matter”

■ Description



It is a corona disaster as usual. It’s no use messing with it. There should be a year later on the current, straight extension line. It is these days of such a premonition. I thought that the contents would not be accompanied even if it was drawn to the appearance in “岐路” which is a tribute origin.

In addition, if you called it “taken around Tokyo”, then you show the image in daytime only, you must ignore the good other half of it. So I prefer to take a picture of the present state of the city at night which is raised to topic as an epicenter rather than “Discover the difference with old times” that everyone is wearing sergical masks by taking a picture in daytime again.


So this time, as the subject, I chose to shoot around the stations of Oedo Line of the Toei Subway, another train route that is ringing in Tokyo. Asakusa, Ryogoku / Yurakucho, Shinbashi / Shinjuku 1-chome, 3-chome / Ginza, Tsukiji / Roppongi, Shibaura / and National Stadium.

I think there are many other spots for having great night lives in Tokyo, but I thought I couldn’t omitting the area around the stadium, so that’s how it happened. Will the Olympic Games be held anyway?


The multiple exposures was adopted as the shooting method for privacy considerations and showing urban fireflies. Though, they were taken at the same point so that the scene was well understood as much as possible.

It seems that there are few firefly-like hostesses in Ginza now however, where once they were banged in 80-90’s. Instead, it is the migrant ladies at Shimbashi, who seem to come from China or Southeast Asia, that cued up. Shinjuku seems to be very popular for women with such as hosts and gay bars. I thought that the impression like sexual exploitation could be included a little in the character of “Night Lives” but the thought can be considerably outdated. And the blame of the virus spread seems to be equal in terms of the gender.
