Behinds Quote by Jon Courtenay Grimwood
“There was something intrinsically sad about Shinjuku. A vacuum-packed hollowness that no quantity of neon could hide. Roppongi was the same, only there the sadness was older and more Western. All that movement to so little purpose. A million strangers searching for a cure to the darkness behind their eyes in the void between someone else's legs.”
![“Going there [Japan] in the early 80s was quite a culture shock. I think the bombardment of Shinjuku and all that would have filtered through, which certainly informed things we later filmed.” quote by Stephen Mallinder](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/627/stephen-mallinder-17708_80s_going-there-japan-in-the-early-80s-was-q_2872312.jpg)
