I'd somewhat love to hear your thoughts on this crossing at one of the most busy crossing of Tokyo

The shibuya crossing also has at least 2 giant screens, with sound, and have been there for decades now. All of them have camera, and they probably have been checking the effect of each of the ads since the screens have been setup.

There's a lot to discuss I think.






Any ppl never bump into eachother there ;)

as to the "shibuya" crossing , ya whatever, take it as a given that I have been to many different crossings in big citys and other places...not on any maps the comanality is to create an almost overwhelming spectacle and engage people in such a way that they open up there wallets.... the internet (phones, now "specs") as an always on jittering, jiggling, flashing, binging,bonginging, personal , tic tock, shake down street, is though floundering a bit, as we are all now a bit world weary, short on time, and utterly lacking in a home to go back too and tell our tails of the big city and flashing lights, gaining our own brief spot, at the center of things. yes?, no? just check out the fearsom demand for add blockers, calm down and sleep meds, burn out stories, etc, etc ,etc or ,the very deep sigh when someone I am doing a deal with was commenting on all of the financial shenanigans going on vs/vs trade, tarrifs, and all that, and I said yes....but maybe we will slow down and have a more circular economy, and live better....
