The setting sun cast a bright gold tone across the cerulean sea as I walked past the outcropping of rocks that dotted the coast untouched. I had time, although thoughts on why and where he was bound seemed insignificant as I reveled in the exquisite feeling of weightlessness that enveloped my body. Inexplicably and without warning I was suddenly sucked into a maelstrom of sound dominated by the shrill song of a woman armed with a microphone, standing ominously over me sleep incomprehensible repeated the same name again and again .... As I suddenly sat up in bed, bleary eyes a moment to realize that the Queen had successfully entered my room was actually driving past my apartment in one of the many vans that I and the rest of the villages to be subjected to the coming weeks. General election campaigns in Tokyo were in full swing. From early morning to fleets of late afternoon on these horror wheels invade the city, sending messages of high-power loudspeakers above micro buses consisting entirely of an endless repetition of their favorite candidates name.

As in most cities of Japan, Tokyo suffers from the lack of regulations on noise pollution, and those that exist are rarely enforced. A quiet ride from the bustling streets of Shinjuku is guaranteed to assault the senses with the scores of CD stores, game centers, and electronic outlets insist on sharing their last song of success or promotion that reaches maximum loud speakers mount stores. Enter one of the stores that line the streets full of hope of a repeat of the shock, which is locked in place a series of ads promoting any flagrant number of bids had that day. As a step ladder to a sonorous voice that seems to descend from the celestial sphere tells you in no uncertain terms to "stand in the center of the step "and" watch your children carefully. "fusion, again with the cacophony outside meander aimlessly down a narrow alley, when the seductive voice of a woman hidden from view invites the seductive phrase "I am the backup, I'm the backup, only to discover the doorstep with expectation that resides inside garbage trucks automatic recording machine.

The noise has always been a problem in Tokyo, and in a city that is home to over two million cars, the dilemma is reaching alarming proportions. Adding to the confusion is the infamous group of ultra right wing known as Uyoku, as modified trucks and buses painted in black and armed with huge speakers patrol internal propaganda broadcasts City and martial music booming in the levels of broken glass, transmitting a form of intimidation of high decibels that can not only be detrimental to its point politically, but also your ears. Much less rabid in its intention but also exasperating are the hawkers, whose songs prerecorded distinctive played without stopping and without variation can be heard blocks away as slowly along the streets selling anything from potatoes to grilled laundry poles. Suburbia Late night is not that survived the attack. Packs of marauding youths known as Bosozoku terrorize the crowd to sleep with a swarm of motorcycles without silencers rumors mercilessly by the sleepy streets in a bus engine revolutions fight successfully to simulate the sound of jets approaching the runway.

After carrying out a large number of earplugs in an attempt to quell the cry for life, I decided one afternoon to enjoy the holidays because time had been promising myself. During the next several days that made the necessary arrangements, and soon wake up every morning to the sound of singing birds in the house of my friend in Oregon. Time spent in tranquility haven pass my pleasant enough, but I found myself yearning to return to the emotion of the big city. Upon arrival at Narita Airport, a few days I picked up my bags and headed to the counter station, where you buy a ticket, went through the front door that suddenly erupted in a burst of echo and whistling, as in the rush that had activated the alarm system of the machine by entering the wrong entry. Moments later while I was on the platform of the blurred image of a flash of spent bullet train speeding through the darkness, a fever of rising air is expelled immediately followed by the deafening blast of the horn. Tired from the previous trading remaining steps of the station took home could hear the plaintive chorus of the sirens in the distance, momentarily replacing the endless lament traffic noise that serves as a permanent backdrop for the city. Clumsy with my keys, I stopped at the door as the incessant barking of a dog of my neighbor quickly became a primal scream that marked the announcement of my return. A wry smile the resignation crossed her lips as I entered the hall leading to my apartment. There can be no doubt about it.

I was back in Tokyo ...
