ギラギラと照りつける真夏の太陽を頭上に東京の人混みの流れに乗って目的地までひたすら歩く。暑さで頭の中は朦朧とし、水を飲んでは首筋をつたっていく汗を感じながら、歩いても歩いてもまったく先に進んでいる気がしない。隙間なくびっちりと立ち並んでいる店はどれも似通っていて、その店内は虹色の商品とお客でぎゅうぎゅうだった。
今日も人はどこからともなくとめどなく湧いてきて、犇あってはまた散って、東京を巡りめぐる。
I kept walking towards my destination with the flow of people under the scorching sun. The heat made me feel lightheaded and like the street would never end. I kept sipping water repeatedly, and beads of sweat went down my neck constantly.
Numerous similar-looking shops lined up on the street. It was hard to tell the difference between them. Every shop was overflowing with rainbow-colored stuff and people who flowed through every corner of Tokyo, gushing out from anywhere, flocking together, and dispersing endlessly.
