Everytime I have gone to Yoyogi there has always been random street performances, often of the music variety, jamming out for the pain/pleasure of the local ongoers. There's usually a greater ratio of untalented to talented but nevertheless there always proves to be some type of entertainment.
The band playing wasn't entirely awful. Given that I didn't understand a word of their music I could be terribly wrong, but their performance by far drew the largest crowd in the surrounding area. Although looking back on it now the majority of the spectators were adolescent females. I suppose that shouldn't be out of the blue since the band was composed of all flamboyantly colourful guys.
There was synchronized headbanging, jumping, arm flailing, and random Japanese yelling throughout the performances. Quite interesting to witness up close and in person; unfortunately a video feed would be more suitable to explain the moment.
Shooting with a 50mm makes everything much more fun. The range and focus gets a bit tricky to handle but the images often are worth the extra effort. Also I haven't really used my 50mm much since picking it up back in Toronto so maybe it's time to kick it up a notch.
