"Ginza, the Chuo Line and Shinjuku"

Taken over the 6th and 7th of September - with views of Ginza taken on both days, as well as Chuo Line views and some scenes in Shinjuku.  Within the batch is a song performed live by a street musician in Shinjuku and a video of an art exhibition/installation in Ginza.

Passing an old orange Chuo Line train in a newer one.  At this point - September 6th, 2010 - there can't be many of the old type Chuo Line trains still being used.  Maybe this is the last one?
