A speech-maker delivered his lines in front of Shinjuku Station

Speech-maker and mother — West Exit of Shinjuku Station

The west exit of Shinjuku Station was crowded as usual. Large numbers of pedestrians were wriggling along the sidewalks. Therefore, many people think that when they want to convey something to a large number of people, they can make a speech at this place. I often see people giving some kind of speech here. Sometimes people talk about religion, other times about politics.

On this occasion, a man in a suit was giving a speech about something. Standing at a small podium, the man was holding a microphone in his hand and speaking strongly. The man's words echoed through the speakers and onto the sidewalk. But, fortunately or unfortunately, I was not interested in the man's speech, so I could not remember what he was talking about.

I was not alone in my disinterest in the speech. In fact, most of the people walking on the sidewalk were not interested. The only people who were listening attentively were the people related to the speaker. The mother in the photo also stopped pushing her stroller, but she turned her back to the speaker and looked at her phone screen.
