Keirin

This is an incredible commercial.

Besides providing a wonderful look at life in Tokyo, it shows that the real beauty of "standardized" culture such as that of the Japanese is how each individual chooses to break from it. The is a real sense of passion that comes with the escape, and that's something you don't see very often over here where individuality is no longer an achievement but instead the norm.

Maybe this is why everything I obsess over has already been obsessed over, and more strongly so, by the Japanese...

And don't even get me started in Keirin bikes. That's another post for another day.

(Sorry for breaking the layout, btw.)
