A documentary about Tokyo. This city is really fantastic. It has a bright and shiny side, but also a dark and tragic side.
日本本来两极分化就厉害而东京又集中体现了这一点在银座上班族都是整齐地往前奔走非常有规律可是到原宿涉谷完全就是另外一片天地都是打扮前卫的年轻人

Japan's polarization has always been really remarkable. And Tokyo really concentrates and embodies it. In Ginza, the office workers all rush forward. They're extremely orderly. But when you get to Harajuku and Shibuya, it's completely different. It's all young people decked out in the most avant-garde fashions.

Yeah, they do things in a totally different way from the regimented adults. But after they enter the mainstream, they will become one of the countless white-collar workers of Ginza. In this movie they interviewed a lot of people like that.
