Video cam at the ready, phone numbers being exchanged. Looks like an impromptu film shoot

It’s been a while since we have had a Shibuya Streets series. The weekends are always busy with foot traffic and with a spare hour, I took a walk out to test my a new camera. Some of the shots I was very pleased with, others got to test out the ‘delete’ button function. The delete function is probably the one I have best mastered now with this camera.

Here are the shots with some brief comments to give you a feel for Shibuya from the street.

Everyone loves to take photos at Shibuya Crossing

Lost in the crowd, lost in his music

This one was by mistake, but since this is 'Shibuya Streets', why not?

I remember traveling to New York some years ago and being surprised at how different the street fashions and street manners were to a comparable big city like Tokyo. It never gets boring watching the movement of the city.

Fashion in the foreground, ads in the background. Lots of action in Shibuya

This is one way to get above the crowds

After all those trucks, it’s nice to see the Hachiko small community bus get a chance to hit the road.

That’s a quick round up for this version of Shibuya Streets. There is always a lot of activity in Shibuya, particularly around the crossing. The fashions and the movements of people are fascinating to watch.
