Club Sega, for adults

There are still many arcade game centers in Japan plenty of video game arcade machines; they are known in Japan simply as “game centers”. One of the companies owning many of the game centers in Japan is Sega. Although Sega stopped producing its own video game consoles a while ago, they have continued until today in the arcade business, specially focusing on the Japanese market. This is one of the entrances to one of the biggest Sega game centers in Shibuya, specialized in arcade machines “for adults”.

Architecture

The Great Seto Bridge

The Great Seto Bridge connects the main island of Japan, called Honshu, with the fourth biggest island in the archipielago, called Shikoku. Being a little bit over 13 km long, it is the longest two-tiered bridge in the world, a record that belonged during many years to the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco.

This great picture was taken by Chris Willson at 5:00 a.m from the Honshu side of the bridge right where it begins.

Tokyo Videos

Summer in Tokyo

I love this video arranged and with original music by Joan Jiménez showing images from last summer in Tokyo.

Reality is the contrast between what we have inside and what exists outside. I invite you to a shared trip to Tokyo where I put eyes and music and you all put the sensations…

Switch off the lights and make it full screen:

I have been living in Tokyo for more than 5 years now, and I still love it like the first time!
