Akira- I always like to see your work because it gives me some insight onto a place and culture I will probably never get a chance to personally experience.

Agreeing with Arthur, I tjink it is also about your personal sensitivity. You always show things I will miss, often delicate, subtle harmonies... Difficult to pinpoint others style.
   Thank you for sharing it

Akira, you just posted (last pic above) the perfect illustration of the modern, Tokyoite Lili Marleen, or リリー・マルレーン

That song went immediately to my mind.

Arthur, I'm glad to see your kind comment.  I would be happy to know that my images would be meaningful to any extent.
