Can you believe this picture? Yes? No? Well, this shot is a rare view of Kabukicho’s night entertainment and sextrade center (well, one of its numerous streets). It was shot at 5:00AM and the streets are almost empty! This never happens in the “floating world”, except… in December! As the weather gets a bit colder, there is much less partying in the streets at dawn. Now you know.

A nice evening at some Golden Gai bar with Ashtom and great photographer Agake Masahito. The bar had several great b/w photos and spotted Moriyama Daido in a few of them, amongst other artists. That’s because the owner of the bar is a photographer and used to be Daido’s student !


I am a host and since I’m a low-level one, my job is to scout for new clients in the streets of Kabukicho.

One of those nights at Moa dori, before going to Kabukicho for a good night shoot.
