Shibuya

Tokyo is one of the largest and biggest metropolis in the world. And within the twenty-something districts there is the whole multitude of cultures and characters, which you can imagine. The most modern and young ward of Tokyo is Shibuya. Everyone above 25 years old is quite a vintage machine, but don’t hesitate to go there anyway. The place is crowded all day long and consists of giant department stores and specialists. There is the oldest and largest Manga and Otaku-Store in the world called Mandarake. And zillions of bling bling-entertainment features. Like Photo-Booths, Game-Halls, Pachinko-Hells and Love-Hotels. The kids have the most awkward dresses and looks. Some of them have a brown tan and blond hair. And some of them dress up like Manga-Figures. Consequently Shibuya is also the sujet for many Manga-Comics and Computer-Games, which also makes sense, because most of the IT-Industry of Japan is located in Shibuya. Style is the essential key here. And there are great second hand shops like we go, where I bought loads of stuff for a good price. Many Fashion scouts choose Shibuya to be the primal scouting ground. What becomes a trend here will likely to be seen soon elsewhere. We go also publishes an entire magazine only filled with people-shots from cool fashionistas in front of the store. This is quite an inspiration.
