Tokyu in Tokyo Soul Searchin’

Welp, here I am in Tokyo again.

It was interesting how I saw the same people in different places today. I met VeronicaKaiKai of TikTok fame. She’s from Denmark. I, also, remember seeing the man wearing the KENZO PARIS t-shirt. He was entering the Nitori store when I saw him first. Then, I saw him at Tokyu Plaza on the sixth floor.

It isn’t a coincidence, but just a reality that we live in a small world regardless of what might like to think.

At present, I am writing from the Bar Soul Stream in Shinjuku. It may be called Soul Stream Bar, but I am not certain. Anywho, I have a major coincidence to write about right now.

I was at the Tokyu Plaza when I went to the fifth or sixth floor. That’s where I saw the man wearing the Kenzo Paris tee. Welp, I went there to get some energy – I bought a coffee.

While sipping my coffee, a young woman and her seemingly boyfriend came to sit near me – they found an outlet to charge their phones nearby. Then, as we were sharing the same table, a song came over the mall speakers, and the woman asked “what is the name of that song?” She suggested that her boyfriend Shazam the song. The name if the song was Soul Searchin’.

What a coincidence!

Just last night I made a video for YouTube in which I entitled the video, Soul Searchin’. As of this date and time, the video is awaiting it’s release date which is set for September 1. To find that video, you’ll have to wait for it to be released and find it by entering “iSee109 Searching for Soul in Tokyo, Japan”.

Also, I forgot to include the song list at Soul Stream Bar. As I am writing this post, I have heard the likes of the following:
