  • Yeah I've been there and seen the homeless. Where do they stay in winter?

  • There are basically 3 types homeless in Tokyo: 1) Indoor, 2) Outdoor, 3) "Manga Kissa" aka comic cafes.

    The "indoor homeless types" take abode in subway station halls. The "outdoor types" take refuge in makeshift shelters made from tarps or sleep in public bathroom in the parks. The younger generations (i.e. day laborers) stay in "manga kissa" overnight for about 5 hours for $12 (1200 yen).

  • People should not be homeless in this day and age. Something wrong with our system if a person can't have a roof over their head!

  • this is so gay like a billion humans in japan and plenty of food, but people are still lonely and hungry. thats bullshit

  • I liked this. This music plays in my head when I see homeless people. Or at least the feeling.

  • I thought the music was very fitting and captured the mood. Good work.
