This is the bird's-eye view of the scene shown in the Extremely Blue Light Display post from two weeks ago. The light display is on a hillside in Roppongi Hills (an area of Tokyo, Japan); the photo was taken from a pedestrian walkway that goes over a road fronting the display.

The two side sections were static, while the display in the center section flashed and undulated from time to time.

Fumie and I were in Tokyo two weeks ago for another concert by Kousuke Atari, having won in a drawing one of the 150 pairs of tickets for the small, free event. It was our fourth “Atari Trip”, having previously made small trips to see him in Miyajima and Tokyo in October, and Kagawa in December.

At the event, besides singing, he recorded two installments of his weekly radio broadcast. The first was released today. Sadly, the link works only on Windows, but the a cappella that starts at the 9:38 point of this recording is a nice example of his voice.

Anyway, here are a few more pictures from a short stroll after the concert. I took this next shot while standing in front of the Sony Music building (where the event was held) while waiting for Fumie as she chatted with another fan.

The picture above shows a lower window of a large building that faces the park (you can see the lit-up trees reflected), and at first glance I thought it was a dentist's office. That didn't sit right, though, since a dentist wouldn't be open that late, and anyway, who wants to have their root canal while sitting in a display case?

It turns out that it's a high-end “dog boutique” that – except for the pampered pooches – is indistinguishable from an upscale Starbucks.

From the side window, the partitioned room that faced the park was a bit more clear (despite the unclear focus in my shot, sorry)
