Tokyo, Japan - June 11, 2026: A group of young women in formal dresses stands together on a crowded, lantern-lit shopping street in Japan. Several of them hold white paper shopping bags, and their hair is pinned up with ribbons and floral ornaments. One woman wears a long black dress with a lace yoke, another a pale blue top with a fluffy peplum and a sequined handbag. Behind them, young men in dark suits and other pedestrians fill the street, some also carrying white paper bags. Illuminated shop signs, including a LAMMTARRA sign, and rows of white paper lanterns line the storefronts on the left. On the right, a covered walkway with hanging lanterns, a wooden barrel and a lit sign reading junmai sake in Japanese characters leads into the distance.
