Live music on a Tokyo bus

Some commutes are clearly less commonplace than other commutes.

      It was very random. Certainly the first time I’ve seen something like this. And yeah, everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it.

    You never know what you are going to see. Amazing how you have got everything inside and outside and reflected in the bus so clear and sharp.
    I was able to listen to an appropriate soundtrack whilst looking at your post. (https://youtu.be/0OFe47ojVUs).
    Pretty sure that’s Ask sitting out the song and clapping along in the frontmost seat.

      No, you really don’t. One of the things I like the most about Tokyo. Lovely surprises such as this are surprisingly common.

      Thanks. Dashed across the road to try and get in a good spot, and fortunately as the bus turned, the singers were visible through the window.

      Well spotted. It does look like her, doesn’t it? Surely too much of a coincidence for it not to be her.

        Awesome. I guess shredding is an optional extra? …https://youtu.be/mgGymaa2JdE :O)

          Haha, it certainly seems that way.

          Watching that video made me wonder how long those young women perform for. Looks like they could be very long days. Although that said, they could be even longer days for the captive audience…

    Are they singing “the wheels on the bus go round and round..”
