"Akihabara, Keihin-Tohoku Line, Yurakucho, Etc."

Beginning with a look down the inside of an inbound Chuo Line train late in the morning, when it wasn't very crowded.  Then a trackside walk in Ochanomizu towards Akihabara, and a few Akihabara (aka Akiba) scenes, including a couple of "maid" women handing out flyers. And then wrapping up this bunch with some train views from the Keihin-Tohoku Line and a couple of walking views in Yurakucho.

"Akihabara Used Computer Street (360)" (100602We-1812)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31MxE6n2-OA

This street has a number of shops that sell used computers and used computer parts.  It used to have a lot more such shops, but they've been disappearing one by one.  One reason may be that leasing companies are working with corporations to sell former lease machines (which used to land on the street via used shops) within the companies, so they don't make it to the street any more.  There are many possible reasons for this type of change - but this is not the place to discuss them.  (Over a beer in Yurakucho perhaps?)
