After its first successful year, the “YOU MAKE SHIBUYA COUNTDOWN” event is back for an even bigger celebration this year!
Shibuya (Page 12)
It’s been almost one week since Halloween has come and gone, but one holiday story is still making Japanese internet users smile.
The last time we tried wearing this outside the office, things didn’t go too well.
”Super-low-quality costume that makes you popular” will have everyone asking “Where’s sexy Waldo?”
Scantily clad spokesmen in Shibuya also help give a second chance to juvenile delinquents.
52-year-old driver fled because he was worried he would lose his job.
Civilian attempts to assist in police chase, destroy suspect’s car with furious kick.
The unofficial ambassador for Shibuya and Harajuku makes sure to keep the statue of famously loyal dog Hachiko clean.
Shibuya may not be the cleanest neighborhood in Tokyo, but even for this part of town, this is shocking.
Because nothing catches people’s attention like a crowd of spiky-haired students strutting around en masse.
We spent a night out on the town in Tokyo’s Shibuya this Halloween weekend to grab some incredible photos of cosplaying revelers.
