this song and movie brought back so many memories of going to SE asia (thailand, laos, cambodia and vietnam)i never visited japan (at least not yet) but the bigger cites i visited, especially bangkok and ho chi minh city are quite overwhelming in a way that tokyo probably is. it is overwhelming and exciting and fascinating, yet as a westerner there is an inescapable detatchment that one feels. or at least i did while there but i still loved it all nonetheless
