To evoke the deserted and almost unreal landscapes of Takashi Homma’s photographs, the author adopts a writing process he has used in earlier collections. It is a form of writing that loops around itself—in the same way as electronic music. He describes a young Tokyoite caught up in an extremely violent video game. An archaic drive kicks in putting him into a trance. The author then describes the contrasting calm that follows his emersion in the game—a mega city fast asleep.
