Yakuza Headquarters.

I always try to alternate the routes I take to work.
One morning I was walking by this building and at first thought it was a limousene service because of the fleet of black cars outside.
But why all the cameras? The place is set up like a fortress, with those cameras covering every possible approach from the ground.
A "casual" glance through the open main door revealed an almost lifesize portrait of some long-dead Japanese guy in traditional wear.
The second floor seemed to be apartments.
I thought I was jumping to conclusions until I took a closer look at the younger guys washing the cars and noticed that they were all sporting oldschool yak tattoos, barely visible under their coveralls..

Jack Twist.

Dressing like you just jumped off pages of a Jack-the-ripper/Oliver Twist anime crossover series is all the rage now in Tokyo..

Dio Dildo.

Shin-Yokohama新横浜 has a Shinkansen station. As a result, there're many salarymen overnighting in the area at times for various conferences.
Salarymen need to be entertained, so there's a proliferation of pachinko, hostesses and, of cousre, love hotels.

I was passing through an area of especially high love-hotel density when I spied this, disposed of in some unfortunate person's moped basket..complete with unbelievably long, straggly pube still stuck on the tip. No doubt it was purchased,used once, then disposed of by a cautious salaryman before returning home to his family.

Irony.

I woke up this morning and abruptly stopped smoking..only to find a street with machine upon machine of the most obscure cigarettes I have ever seen.
There's further irony embedded, but I don't feel like writing about it now..

Horse-Meat.

Uncooked. Seasoned. Covered with a raw egg.
