This little girl may well have been completely out of place, but it didn’t seem to bother her in the slightest, as the whole time she was lost deep inside a digital world very different from her surroundings.

This is good. These places need a younger generation to carry on!
Lee says
Haha, they do that, although this may be pushing it somewhat!
Denton says
Oh man this is so cool! I feel like she’s there and totally not there. So much to like! 🙂
Lee says
Cheers! Yeah, she never moved or even took her eyes off the screen. Utterly lost in her own little (or perhaps big?) world.
john says
Bet she’s looking at Tokyo Times ;o)
Lee says
Haha! As interesting as I’d like to think some of my photos might be, they definitely aren’t THAT interesting!
AF says
A detail that I was looking at was the picture of a blue haired girl on the wall, and thought that someone around the area is an anime/manga fan. Well, some people say that themes may behave like echoes, repeating in a wave pattern, specifically photos. Therefore we see real girl and manga/anime girl.
Lee says
Yes, I was surprised by that. It seems just as out of place as the little girl.
That’s an interesting idea. And in this case at least, there’s certainly a visible connection.

…waiting for the fortune cats to take effect.
Lee says
It’s always packed, so maybe they already have. Although packed in this place is about 10 people max!
cdilla says
It’s a great scene you have captured.
Different from my day when as a kid surrounded by olds I’d be mostly listening to what they said, watching and learning the games they played. This child is lost in their virtual world (at this moment anyway) and could just as well be at home. Hopefully the atmosphere seeps in still.
Lee says
Thanks.
Times change eh? Clearly not much of that anymore. The whole time we were there, I don’t recall her looking away from the screen once, let alone speaking or taking in the scene around her. That said, she was obviously very comfortable. A lot of kids probably wouldn’t be.
