this is tokyo

in tokyo friends the drama,
Ryuji said he was leaving Sabakan, because "i know that one day Sabakan will belong to Rei."

can you imagine, understand what he must have been feeling when he was saying this?

why do i love tokyo?

the superficial reasons are:
-there is something for everyone, for every mood
-i like how tradition and modernity can stand side by side
-i like how you can always turn a corner and find something interesting
-i like the way it takes you on an mood rollercoaster- sometimes you feel alive, sometimes you feel insignificant, just a part of a giant clockwork.
-good food, stylish girls- what more can you ask for?
-tokyo awes, inspires, yet allows you peace to reflect.

to quote takuro from glay, if there were one word to describe tokyo, it has to be hitoiro. one colour.

if there were one colour to describe tokyo, it has to be grey. grey because grey is ambiguity, grey is between black and white, grey captures the essence of flux, grey is everything yet nothing.

"people come to tokyo because they feel insignificant"- ryuuji

i digressed.

but is there a place where you go to, whenever you reach a crossroad in your life, when you need to recharge before you can get on with your life? a refuge which takes you in, with all your emotional baggage?

that is tokyo.
