This one is different than the parent one. It has a title and the name "Express Tokyo" on the train has been removed. So I wonder if this one is a revision?
Is this true in Japan? I mean I know the train is packed and all, but the strip makes it like in my country (imagine a minibus carrying 50 people instead of 30), wont this makes the train over capacity? it should have some weight/no.passengers limited.. and knowing this is Japan, it should be.
One different line too. I wonder if this'll be going in the C93 book - I can't recally seeing it in the other books, but not like I can remember every single strip.
Seeing the dead eyes again That reminds of an article about Michael Wolf's Tokyo Compression photo book.
From his story, he (a foreigner) thought the photo are powerful, and present it to an editor in Japan. But the editor is unfazed, that's normal daily life for him and other Japanese who are commuting by train.
His photo is accepted better abroad, where people can say Wow, and think that those people looks suffering.
As someone who went there and can make the comparisson, yes, it can be that bad in Japan, but over here in my country is just as bad... The diference is that at least in Japan they wait for and enter the train in an organized fashion.
