justin from links.net about his book, Just In Tokyo:
What about Just In Tokyo? Kenji Eno speaks: For example, if I look at only the the Statue of Liberty and say, "New York is a wonderful town truly!", what do you think? For example, if I look at only Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, and Big Ben and say, "I've really enjoyed the travel in Britain!", what do you think? Although I have many foreign friends, when I know that their sightseeing in Tokyo is the same, I am disappointed extremely: Tokyo Tower, the Imperial Palace, Kabuki-za. Maybe I will not go to such a place more than 3 times in a lifetime. It is the same as giving only kiss, although you are married. It is the same as playing only Tetris, although you have Playstation2. It is the same as eating only sausages, although you ordered a jambalaya. Traveler, Taste more! American! Play Japan deeply! You should marry Tokyo! Tokyo, I think almost every country is the same. It depends on you whether Tokyo becomes interesting or less boring. You can encourage the man of past 40 who was fired from restructuring in the public bath called 'Sento' and You can be mistaken for a molester by a high school student girl who operated orthopedically in the train. You can eat the sushi which the robot made in the dance-club. You can say "You are a person really kind" to the cute pet in a mobile phone at the capsule-hotel. After that, you will know the merit and poorness of Tokyo. Meritorious and poor - When you love it, you are already a Japanese about 24%. No, you don't need to worry if you become so. You can be original you again, if you burn this book which is used as the first step of your trip, you already know. - Kenji Eno (a game creator, the president of fyto inc.)
