I really enjoyed this post! I finished the bizarre, heartfelt mess that is NEO: The World Ends with You a couple of days ago, and I live in the bizarre, heartfelt mess that is London, so in some ways it feels laser-directed at me. My favourite line is 'We see it in glimpses, out of the corner of our eye, a kaleidoscopic blur that we cherish even as we know we'll never get the focus quite right'; it's such a good description of both the game's ferocious passion for Shibuya and the experience of living in a city that you love.
