Nice photo Mark. I love the stillness of nighttime shots.

Thanks. This was shot through a window too. I'm surprised at how clear it turned out.

I think I can see a locker key glinting just under the running man!

Not sure what you can see. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Hehe, it's just a joke as it reminds me of the Yakuza games where this canal is a location, and in the Yakuza games the open world is littered with collectible locker keys.

Nice pics, not a lot has changed since 2016;

[Yakumo]

Yeah, I'd agree. There are a few higher resolution screens such as that yellow one with the cloud god on it. But besides that it's pretty much the same. We'll apart from the Running Man being a led display rather than the classic cutout. The previous time I went was in 2018. It mnsure it was still a cutout then.

Oh, lol. I've only ever played Judgment which I guess is kind of part of the series.

Few more from the trip.

I got a Polaroid for Christmas, which I have wanted for ages. Struggling a bit with the lighting but a few have come out OK!

Classic snaps just like when I was a kid in the 80s. Nice!

The metering in these things is basic, particularly inside with flash and you're ISO limited on the film - it's the whole Holga lofi stuff that's supposed to be embraced, not all the pre and post-processing your phone is doing all the time. Centre focus and recompose will get you the best results (and using them outside in good light).

Is that USJ?

Yep, that's USJ. It's such a great section of the park for immersion. I fist visited in 2019 and happy to say it still looks as good now. They also sell a killer meat pie in that area, something not common in Japan.
