Alone in Tokyo
22 December 2025
I'm in Tokyo, but not alone - I'm here on holiday with my family. The title of this newsletter is a failed attempt to be clever - it's a reference to one of my favourite movies, "Lost in Translation". The soundtrack for the movie is great, and has a really nice song by a band called Air that's titled Alone in Kyoto. But the movie was mainly filmed in Tokyo, so I merged the two to give me an obscure reference to the movie. As soon as I'd written it I realised it's way too convoluted to make sense to anyone, hence this lengthy explanation!
