All around me people are crowding up. A group of friends, sales persons, and tourists are all becoming one. Restaurant, bars, and clubs also line up on each side. Not forgetting the many shops trying to seduce you into consumerism.

Somehow it feels like being in some Dorama tha I used to watch. Standing in the middle of the street while people passed me by. Feeling the sudden pang in my tummy and it’s like I sunk. But everything is fine now when I saw the Glico Man by the river.

I guess it ain’t Osaka when you don’t see huge billboards shining brightly during the evening. Funny, since most of the other parts of Osaka are quiet calm.
