For me, the ads in Tokyo are unfamiliar, so I can enjoy the colors and energy more. vs say Times Square, where the ads really hit me over the head.


Times Sq is literally the extreme side of ads. It's literally what makes Times Sq - Time Square.

Imagine if NYC banned all visual advertising? One of the most iconic sites of NYC would just disappear.


Real New Yorkers kind of loathe Times Square.


We do. And my office used to be at Bryant Park... I spent a year not stepping into Times Sq, while working right next to it.
