waiting for a train
I like hanging out at train stations in Japan and watching the trains and people come and go. So I wrote a simple boy-girl song where its one of those ships passing in the night kind of things but in this case a simple smile shared, lingers on. The song came first and then I made it a point to get some shots on our last Tokyo visit to fit the song. Most of them were from the Takaido station on the Inokashira line running between Shibuya and Kichijoji, west of central Tokyo where we stayed with my wife's cousin for a few days. Some of you may also recognize a few shots from Shimbashi, Shinagawa, and Tamachi
