Night Walk Near Shibuya

A night sequence moving from a lit street corner up an elevated walkway's stacked signage, into blurred and overpass views of the street, then upward to clouds, a high-rise, and a closing neon tiger.

The sequence opens at a street corner where a wedge-shaped building is lit floor to floor in amber signage, including a panel reading 大衆酒場, above a mostly empty crosswalk intersection where a white van waits mid-block and a couple of pedestrians cross near a traffic cone.

From an elevated walkway, the camera climbs a narrow tower stacked with backlit signage, including a teal panel reading 渋谷駅前 おおしま皮膚科 that places the clinic near Shibuya Station. One frame holds the tower steady; the next offers a slightly softer second view of the same signage, most of it still legible. A third, soft-focus frame looks down from an overpass as a dark car crosses broad white crosswalk stripes below.

The last frames tilt upward: a glass high-rise leans across the sky beside a sign reading Ikebe Music, and the moon glows through a bank of clouds in two successive views. The sequence closes on a tiger drawn in yellow-green neon tubing, glowing against a nearly black wall.
