Mad scramble

Consumerism at it's worst. blatant consumption of tat.

Tens of thousands of teenage girl shoppers? Have to think this would be fun to watch.

Damn. i missed it.

“Fukubukuro” is an adorable word! I could just say it all day! These girls look like they're having fun. :)

Can you buy a fukubukuro in Ikebukuro?

That's why I don't like such women.

Don't like it? Then don't buy anything then.

This is what social agency has become when people are raised to identify themselves mostly as consumers. They think they are free, but their freedom has been reduced to the mundane choice between brand A, B or C... Significant agency would be actually having a voice in the decision making processes that affect work, education, health, safety, environment and other conditions. This agency has been taken by corporate and political elites and what's left is shown in the picture above.

Even as I`m an "old" woman and have a leftish backround I really would like to be in Tokyo during Lucky Bag time. It must be fun (perhaps not at 109 in my age..). First time I stayed in Tokyo my husband said the same as some of the former comments about the girls when in Shibuya. Until I reminded him what he and his friends spent their money for, like record collecting etc.

like a bunch of roaches trying to pack themselves into a roach motel

"anybody want to swap the crappy stuff I just bought for the crappy stuff you just bought!!??" anybody anybody....

"Damn. I missed it."

Me too. Damn.

Sounds like some folks here got a lump of coal from Santa.
