Tokyo Retrograde

I like the sense of solitude in the city. There are a lot of people, but they don't know much about each other and maintain a sense of distance. Even if you make an arrangement to meet someone you know, you're still a stranger until you call out to them and realize you're meeting. All kinds of people come from all over the country. No one invades other people's territory. We pass each other through the city, each carrying our own little selves. I am an unspecified number of people. 東京逆行 都市の孤独感が好きだ。 人はたくさんいるが、互いに知っていることは少なく距離感を保つ。 知り合いと待ち合わせをしても、声をかけて気づくまでは他人だ。 色々な地方から様々な人も来る。人のテリトリーに踏み入ることはしない。それぞれの小さな自己を抱えて街中をすれ違う。 私は不特定多数なのだ。
