About Yokohama

What gets me goin’? The buzz, the chaos—happy as a pig in muck when I’m dodgin’ some pimp’s glare. But the sleaze? Nah, that pisses me off. Grubby hands, fake smiles—makes me wanna clock someone. Surprised me once, though—this one bird in Paris, classy as hell, spoke four languages, ran the show like M runnin’ MI6. “Nature’s got nothin’ on this,” I thought, echoin’ Monty’s rant about life screwin’ ya.

It is years since the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters were established in Edo (now Tokyo). The area changed greatly through its history.

So, I finally made it to the river. The water was lookin’ nice, but then I saw it. Trash. Like, come on, people! Can’t we keep our river clean? I was fumin’. I mean, I get it, life’s busy, but tossin’ your junk in the water? Not cool, man. I started pickin’ up some of it, thinkin’ maybe I could make a difference. But then I thought, “Why am I doin’ this? I’m not a garbage collector!”
