Odaiba someday This year, another major year-end events, a winter tradition in the city, and a comic market are approaching. The last day of Comiket that year is the 31st of New Year's Eve, and this cut shows people walking toward the New Year's Eve Sunset in the western sky after closing. With the loot in their hands and the memories of the day in their hearts, the expressions and gait of the people heading home were somewhat tired, but they were also cheerful and light. There are no more Ferris cars now, and the scenery has changed a little, but you will see many happy sights again this year. Heading into the 30th, I'm currently sleep-deprived.

Odaiba someday Emerald green and champagne gold lights sparkle gorgeously at night in the city in December. The air is clear, and you can feel the silence even in the hustle and bustle. Airplanes drew bright lines in the night sky, creating a dreamy moment. The scenery has not changed in the past and now. I'm sure this weekend and tonight will bring many visitors to their dreams.
