Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku, Tokyo / Aug. 2023
中外薬品の頃から馴染みのあるFIXERがILFORDから販売されているので、やはり使い慣れたのがいいと思って最寄りのビックカメラ渋谷で買おうと思ったらもう店頭販売してないとのことで取り寄せようにも日数がかかると。仕方ないので新宿ヨドバシなのだけど通販で買うか店頭か。FIXER単体では送料無料にならないので薬局関連の日用品と絡めて買うか、迷ったけど日暮れ時に時間が取れたので店頭へ。多分最後に来たのはコロナ云々で騒がしくなる前だから5年ぶりくらいかな。西口も再開発で既に小田急は建屋取り壊し���始まっており寂しいものだ。撮り歩く程の時間はなかったので足早にヨドバシで済ませてサクッと軽メシ食べて帰ってきた。で、結局バイク駐車代が420円かかって通販送料500円と何ら変わらなかったわけでむしろ効率だけを優先すると通販という選択がベターだったけど久しぶりにあの淀んだ空気を味わえたので良しとしよう。

WHAT THEY SMELL LIKE. Leather and sunshine on a good day, cigarettes on a really bad one. On late nights that’ve either been really fun or really dreadful, he may also smell suspiciously of whatever was going on at his favourite bar, Tender (see: other miscellaneous cigarette brands, and maybe the distinct alcohol scent if he’s downed enough). Takayuki doesn’t wear cologne unless he’s going to the courtroom or a date that makes him nervous, and even then he goes for more subtle scents than anything that’s right in your face. He’s got a typically nice scent overall as long as he hasn’t been overworking himself to death.
HOW THEY SLEEP. SLEEPING POSITION. SCHEDULE. ETC… Takayuki sleeps deeply and easily, contrary to popular belief. He has the ability to fall asleep anywhere at any time-- the only issue is if a) he’s busy; and b) he has enough means to continue his work that taking breaks of any kind won't make him feel guilty. He likes to sleep on his back, and depending on the time of day he does it, he’ll throw his arm over his eyes to block it from the light. He prefers to get a couple of hours at a time, but he’s not immune to downing a can of coffee, passing out for fifteen minutes, and then going through hell on the otherworldly merits of the power nap. He knows the merits of sleep and he tries his best to get it... the weird schedules of a private investigator just get in the way sometimes.
WHAT MUSIC THEY ENJOY. For Japanese music, literally anything as long as it sounds good. He leans towards music that uses “real” instruments instead of purely digital or synthetic noise, though. For English music, he likes things typically called “dad rock”. The fact his portable music device of choice is a classic Walkman that plays cassette tapes probably doesn’t help this image, either. (Incidentally, Takayuki’s written his own stuff, and it’s mostly acoustic guitar-related nonsense inspired by rock. You know you’ve got a real in with him if you know about that.)
HOW MUCH TIME THEY SPEND GETTING READY EACH MORNING. This depends wildly on his already unreliable schedule. Takayuki’s the type of person who can just brush his teeth, wash his face, and get going... and even then, he can skip the face-washing, deal with his teeth, and dash out the door. Preferably he likes to spend at least an hour so he can brew coffee just the way he likes it (he’s particular and snobby, even if he’ll never be snobby out loud), have some breakfast (even if it’s some cheap rice, natto, and egg), shower, and brush his teeth. He’s not picky about clothes, though, especially since his fashion sense these days boils down to “grab the nearest tank top, a pair of jeans, and go”.
FAVOURITE THING TO COLLECT. Vintage video game-related things, whether consoles or the actual games themselves. It’s a real problem that eats into his bank account when the person selling the thing actually knows the value of what they’re selling. Takayuki bought a pinball machine once just because he saw it was on sale on the Internet and it was such a steal he couldn’t not have it.
LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED. Born right-handed, trained to be ambidextrous.
FAVOURITE SPORT(S). Baseball, and his favourite team’s the Giants. Takayuki’s not just into keeping up with the news on the league, though, and is known to volunteer his time coaching little league teams when he can (he helped a teacher at Nishishinjuku Elementary once and has had “she invites me to New Year’s dinner if I don’t have any other plans” privileges ever since). The guy’s nearly been scouted by a pro for a team after watching him swing at Kamurocho’s local batting centre as well, but by then he was too attached to his detective business to really go through with it.
FAVOURITE TOURISTY THING TO DO WHEN TRAVELLING. Takayuki likes to research all the budget-friendly ways to travel beforehand, and if he’s sightseeing he sticks to schedules if only so he can see everything. If it’s a lazier type of trip, though, then he just likes to eat and walk, so long as he’s not spending a lot of money. He also really, really, really likes to take pictures. Everything is important to remember, after all.
FAVOURITE KIND OF WEATHER. Give him early spring weather any time, when things’re about to get warmer but it’s still a little cold from winter. Feeling the sun on his face and the cool air is a special kind of gift.
WEIRD / OBSCURE FEAR THEY HAVE. Nothing weird, really. Nothing scares him enough to stop him in his tracks, either, but he’ll probably hesitate if he has to deal with ghosts or spirits or anything related to the other side. The dead deserve to rest, not have idiots traipsing in on their business... but if he can find a way to help them find peace, that’s another story. A story that’ll give him the creeps, sure, but he’s never one to stay away.
THE CARNIVAL / ARCADE GAME THEY ALWAYS WIN WITHOUT FAIL. For carnival games, as long as it’s something that requires aiming and hitting something, Takayuki’s got the skill for it. For arcade games, though? He wins everything. Seriously. Takayuki chose Yagami Tantei’s location because it was near a Club SEGA... and also because his landlady was offering rent for cheap after he saved her dog, but you know how that goes. You’ll see a “TAK” on most of the leaderboards on Nakamichi St.’s Club SEGA just because he’s territorial about his #1 spot, and every time he sees it replaced he won’t hesitate to blow however much cash he has to get his spot back. Fortunately, he’s good enough at them that it’s never broken the bank.

Hilton Tokyo
西新宿にあるヒルトンホテル。
いつも混雑していてパブリックスペースもかなりの人です。
ダイヤモンド会員なのでラウンジアクセスできる部屋になるのですが
お菓子はこの通りでM&Mに乾き物…
景色とWi-Fiはいいのですが…ちょっと残念。
客室はご覧の通り絶景で、夜景は格別。
ツインもダブルもありますが部屋の広さは変わりません。
デスクは大阪や名古屋よりも使いやすい机でした。
ただ、エグゼクティブフロアからバスタブをなくしてしまったのは
いかがなものかと。
プールや浴室はありますけど…ちょっとなぁと思います。
収納はいろいろあって便利でした。
この日は西武百貨店で買い物したのですが
西新宿まで池袋から丸ノ内線で座ってきました。
むかしのレターセットをひっぱりだしてきました。
この頃はやっぱり紙質が違いますね。
いまはこのデザインになって客室にもなく。
リクエストベースになっていました。
