Everybody claims Tokyo, you came to the City but still long for a home

A return to the City of Tokyo, the eastern capital, one-way ticket in hand hiphop, rock, punk kids gather tokyo 23 districts, kids are weird homo- sapiens, undecipherable fashion sense, caused by fads and magazines An omnivorous culture, bleaching hair and skin, or dying pigments it's the appearances of people who act organized ever-changing evolutionary process of the Japanese, cosmetic surgery, piercing, and tanning salons our generation that loves to protest, working hard we wait from Monday thru Thursday, for the city to start moving, it's the weekend and now it's grooving bouncing sound, walk by the series of window displays, the city landscape consisting of skyscrapers not knowing when to stop growing, that's Tokyo
