March 2023 — In Tokyo’s Shinjuku district, the saturated glow of neon signage spills across the streets, advertising one of the countless 24-hour DVD and manga shops that once defined the city’s late-night entertainment culture. Massive orange and yellow panels compete for attention, illuminated by LED frames and plastered with bold pricing for hourly booths and media rentals. These storefronts — dense with color, typography, and nostalgia — reflect the enduring presence of Japan’s analog media scene even as digital streaming dominates elsewhere. The atmosphere captures Tokyo’s constant dialogue between old and new, where high-tech convenience meets the tactile energy of Showa-era retail culture under an endless canopy of light.

March 2023 — Inside the multi-floor Gigo arcade complex in Akihabara, photographed in March 2023, rows of brightly lit crane and prize machines fill an entire level dedicated to character-themed merchandise and limited-run collectibles. Facilities like this became a defining part of Akihabara’s post-2000s shift from an electronics-focused district to a broader entertainment hub centered around gaming, anime culture, and specialty retail. Originally operated under the SEGA brand until a 2022 rebranding, Gigo retained the large-scale arcade format that has long been a staple of Tokyo’s urban leisure landscape. The popularity of crane games—often refreshed with seasonal or collaboration prizes—continues to draw both local players and visitors exploring the district’s modern pop-culture identity.

March 2023 — A well-stocked aisle inside a convenience store in Tokyo, photographed in March 2023. Japan’s major chains—such as Lawson, FamilyMart, and 7-Eleven—are known for their dense product layouts, where shelves are filled with everything from health supplements and over-the-counter medicines to snacks, instant meals, and travel essentials. Convenience stores, or konbini, have played an important role in daily urban life since rapid expansion in the 1980s, providing reliable 24-hour access to food, bill-paying services, parcel pickup, and seasonal goods. Their efficient layouts and constant product rotation reflect Japan’s retail culture, where limited-edition items, regional flavors, and promotional displays are updated weekly to match demand and maximize shelf use.
