We will be asking for illuminations and neon signs to be turned off at night. Hopefully, that will discourage people from going out at night. We are also asking non-residents to refrain from entering Tokyo as much as possible.

It is a good supporting idea and it will have some effect. But the main problems with this SoE is that Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Shizuoka are not part of it. Again politicians putting personal interest before their duty to the people. And 16 days should be 6 weeks.

and of course it is a disgrace to spent one more yen or a second of effort on the olympics of shame.

Instead of 'asking', why doesn't the gov't of Tokyo 'order under penalty' stores to turn off lights, pull the shutters down, lock up, and go home for 16 days?

Just to see if, as in Vietnam, New Zealand, and South Korea, a hard lockdown works.

But that's not what the GoTo Campaign was advocating. You guys encouraged us to go to and from Tokyo. Remember? Were we not in the middle of the epidemic then? What is your major malfunction, government?

People expecting drastic, effective measures with a very necessary show of leadership, but instead getting turning neon signs off and asking people not to come...

Enough of completely depending on people doing all the effort, approve vaccines, be supportive of the hospitals so they feel compelled to accept patients from now, punish companies that refuse to let people telework, etc.It is expensive, complicated, and reduce political points, but it is also necessary.

People in Machida Tokyo can walk 50 meters and be in hopping Sagamiono. Not fair to Machida businesses.

The number of crimes and accidents are likely to increase on the darker streets.

Yes great idea because we all know that Covid comes out after 8PM

So are they going to ask the convenience stores, which operate round the lock, to turn off their signs because ya know, you can, and people will be, buying their booze from there.
