The sad state of architecture of the last 70+ years:

I was following until they started trashing brutalism.. while I don't know how i'd feel in a city entirely built in brutalist architecture, but some of the buildings are just awesome; imo. I particularly love the ones in Tokyo, that kinda blend that whole wabi sabi / zen bullshit + brutalist style. Buildings covered in vines, moss, and plantlife.. open spaces.. makes for a nice alternative to not being able to have a yard due to a clusterfucked living. Tons of stores use brutalist architecture in Tokyo and it often feel otherworldy from the commercial/advertisement pop.

Not really the best video, but Harajuku Station on Golden Week is a literal fucking nightmare; standstills for 10minutes at a time if you don't gaijin smash.. granted everywhere is during that time.. the old station was super small two part station. Add the year round fact that Harajuku is more/less the biggest shopping area with take a shit street as a huuuuge tourist trap and cat street right by.. as well as the entire omotesando road and meiji shrine and park like 20 feet behind.. it needed an expansion really bad. I personally hated that station.. I tried to find a video with it still up from the pic, but yeah looks like its def going down as the most recent vid I can find has the same construction walls from 2021. I pref stopping at Shibuya and walked my happy ass to cat street, avoiding Shibuya crossing and basketball street.

This guy is totally entertaining, and drops some great knowledge. Plus Metal LOL

Well, thats One way to deal with crazy fundi family.

I guess this youtube not-porn is today's Sears catalog? So odd...
