Despite Tokyo’s love of big television screens bolted onto buildings and even bigger billboards, a lot of promotion is still taken care of by the time-honoured practice of pestering passersby with the likes of tissues and tickets.
A form of work that takes some beating when it comes to boredom.
And indeed belittlement.
When burdened with a banner on one’s back.

I want a job like this! It’s true that stay all the day standing up in the middle of the street, it’s really hard… but… think about just a moment… he hasn’t to hold anything all the time, and no shachou will get angry if he listen radio or cd while he is working…..

I want a job like this too, or at least I’d like to try it! I’m pretty lazy so just walking around like that all day with the mp3 and a camera would be pretty neat ^^

When I lived in Nagoya last year it was so funny to see these guys so desperate to give their tissues out to all the Japanese passers by, but were suddenly unenthusiastic to give them to me!
