I just had to talk about it!!


As I was walking down the street I saw an other drawing. On an electricity panel, a graf of André who's a famous draughtsman in France. He is also well known for his discotheques all around the world. He actually opened a nightclub here in Tokyo: Le Baron de Paris...
It was really surprising to see one of his pieces of art here in Azabu-juban, a very pretty district, in the south of the city. His grafiti are really recongnizable, and it automatically catched my attention. It's funny to see some french artist down into Tokyo's street.

Real art!!


For the first time since I'm here in Tokyo I saw drawings in the streets!! Between Omotesando and Harajuku. Those really aren't the same as in France, here all the drawings are cute and net. Generally when you see some drawings like this in Paris for example it is associate to delinquency, and it looks dirty. Even if I love those street drawings I think it is most of the time ruining the beauty of the streets, but those are giving even more value to it.
I'm glad I found those...

Architecture!!

No numbers in this article. I just wanted to show you amazing buildings in Ginza. As you're going through the main street you will see: Chanel's building witch is fool of double C's, the Apple Store has a hinged plate with the logo at the top of the shop... But the most impressive one is a huge jewelry shop with three different elevators, they have different shapes and they go to different floors.
They're all astonishing, and all the different brands can show their own image through those specific architectures. Artists can really express themselves, in this city. France doesn't give this opportunity, and added to this I don't think that you could keep this kind of buildings in good shape for a long time. Everythings seems more modern here!! Especially this "cow" building as I've called it.

Windy Numbers...


When I got out of Akihabara's subway station I saw a beautiful moving sculpture. You're going to think it's an obsession but as I got closer I realized that the numbers 1, 2 and 3 were written on it. It’s funny that the first thing that catches my attention had numbers on it.

Akihabara is a very noisy neighborhood but all around this sculpture you can find a beautiful building with a fountain and wood on the floor. Everything was clean and perfectly decorated. There were a real contrast between the noise and agitation of the “Electric Town” and this clean and pretty area.


You will underneath find the video, but i couldn't turn it...

Lucky number !!

Roppongi Hills - TV asahi tower

This amazing tower is lighted all night long with a countdown: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1...
Surprisingly my lucky number appared as we walked down the street, I couldn't miss it!!

You'd never see this kind of decoration in Paris, it would have been deteriorate.

All aroud this building you can find chairs made in glass, small stone tables, it is really pleasant.
