Hachiko Square

Description

Hachiko Square is found in the middle of the Shibuya square. Shibuya Square is one of the busiest part of Tokyo, with one of the largest intersection crosswalk in the world ---which was lovingly dubbed the Shibuya Scramble. The square was given the name because of a popular story about a dog that would routinely travel to the train station there and wait for his owner to comem back. One day, the owner died before he could make it back home. So the dog, Hachiko, steyed there until he died, waiting for his owner every day.

Transcription

There is a large number of voices, and the recording device buzzes. There is the consistent sound of air moving and some whistles as you can hear cars moving through the area. There is music being played from speakers further away as advertisements on billboards get played. There is a rolling sound as something gets rolled across the pavement.
