Day 55, 24 Feb 2017: Looking for the next big break...

Day 55: ...please listen

Fame. I guess it happens in different ways. Not being one to pursue it for myself, I've never given much thought about how it starts. 

For much of today, perched on the side of one of the bridges down below, groups of young singers seemed to e engaged in some kind of 'sing off'. The crowds ebbed and flowed, some groups seemed spontaneous, some seemed to plan everything right down to the shirts on their backs. 

Ready, set...

Small but committed crowd

Friends

Quality crowd

That's it?

But wait, there's more


Applause

Night port

Big wheel


The Tokyo Marathon is on this weekend and this area is one of the key gathering posts. (The will be fun trying to get to work tomorrow.) Perhaps the young singers hoped that someone in the passing crowd might notice.
