Shibuya never sleeps, but these people who partied there are catching some alcohol-induced Zs.
As the home of many of Tokyo’s trendiest clothing shops, the Shibuya neighborhood is a great place for people-watching, since you’re always sure to see a parade of the newest fashions and styles. However, with Shibuya also having a huge selection of bars and clubs, on any given night you can also be sure to see at least a few people who’ve had way too much to drink.

Because of how much Shibuya likes to party, Shibuya Meltdown’s mission is never-ending, and now has a whole new batch of photos and videos since the last time we took a look at its collection.
