It starts with some footage of the wacky people who have turned out to celebrate the new year: break dancing weirdos, a group wearing tiger masks, and a man “rapping” about the soba at his restaurant.
As midnight approaches, the pleasant mood changes to one of tension. Police prepare barricades and the big screen on a building overlooking Shibuya crossing is turned off early to discourage people from thinking there will be a countdown event. When clocks hit 0:00 and people begin celebrating, the wildness begins.

The a great “panic” fills the area around the station as it becomes too crowded for people to move. Police officers try to push people so they stay within the barriers. One cop is knocked over by the crowd. Broken glass bottles litter the street. There are also several people who have passed out from drinking too much. There was also some fighting.

It is noted that this event seems to be popular among foreigners. A few are more than happy to drink and dance in front of the news cameras. For some reason, one group of Japanese and foreigners was singing the “Ponyo” theme song. At least one foreigner joined a group of young Japanese who were climbing street poles.
