Ryo
Tokyo is big indeed. It's huge and unrecognizable, nevertheless magnificent.
This city is increasing its speed to mark the pace of the changing environment; while I am here, I can easily determine how the things that happen in Tokyo reverberate like a giant wave on the whole country of Japan. Maybe the farmers outside the city cannot grasp it yet, but it's happening already.
I left Tokyo to go back to my native Osaka, and I do not wonder whether Jun might have never stopped asking himself the reason why.
Tokyo is a living heart, indeed.
It's rather difficult not coming to love Tokyo, and quite deeply, also.
