Only one city where controlled by corporations association named Imerial Capital Saving Commitee (I.C.S.C.). Two blockline circled Tokyo. Three mobilized divisions of Japanease Inperial Army Kanto Corps keeps outer circle and corprate security force of I.C.S.C. keeps inner circle (this line along the loop line railway Yamanote-line). Security force of I.C.S.C. armed as heavy as JIS Police. Along outline of blockade, high buildings without no windows face to the blockade or high fence are constructed. Most of who try to break the line will be riddled with shots of sentry-guns or patrols. Trains shuttled between in and out of Tokyo. But the gates of stations are blocked. Sinless and common metahumans are not allowed to pass.
Why Tokyo is seald? Officialy comment is that harmful critters and crimes of Tokyo. But few believed.Because checkpoints can be passed with SIN easily. In fact, tens of thousands of people come from out of Tokyoto watch the Yomiuri Giants's baseball game full of samurai spirits at Tokyo Dome stadium .
There are some magical base of JIS. Most of them are temples and shrines. But one by one, they are buried in the mysterious forest.
Center of Tokyo is the abandoned place with many crimes and much greens.
As far from center of Tokyo, it's well reconstructed.
>>>>>[Look. Another base of shrewd Choutei is now buried in woods green. Moss grown roots break technology constructures,branches call back bird song and leaves gives us comfortable tree shade. Bandou is regaining its old nature. Choutei afraid us and the our Great Spirit. They encircle us double and try to polute here with dirty desires. Look the disgustful stadium's light. Tamed ones open their nasty mouth and spit out their sludge of soul as hootings. Next we must bury that]<<<<<---Yasotakeru(21:12:32/12/25/55)
Instead of abandoned Tokyo, Chiba prefecture growed from bedroom town of Tokyo to the city leads high-tech. Chiba megaplex covers the north half of Boso penisular. Chiba-City is the center of Chiba megaplex. South half of Boso and Ibaraki prefecture become the bedroom town of Chiba megaplex.
But those growth brought Chiba price hikes. As a result,some corporations moved to declined Tokyo. I.C.S.C. welcomed that and invite more to Tokyo with cheap tax.
But if you are looking for highest cyber-tech, you must search it in Chiba.
Because I.C.S.C.'s welcome tax is only for Japanease corporations. Brains from all over the world stay in Chiba-City. Best cybertechnology will be found at cheap laboratory of back alley and underground.
From the Perry shock in 1853, this area have concern to foreign countries and navy. Its growth was step-by-step but sound.The driving forces of growth were not Japanease capitalist took refuge from Tokyo 2011-2012. They were Chinease and Western's.Japanease Imperial Navy at Yokosuka support the growth with demand.
Th direction of Kanagawa growth was west.The Kanagawa Megaplex covers From Yokohama to Odawara.Business district lays along the shore. And bedroom town, factory and labo mixed inland. More than half of factory and labo are not Japanease corporation's.
>>>>>[Do you know that Saeder-krupps big labo on the tops of hills near Atugi were Nissan's labo?]<<<<<---Bakusozoku(06:41:22/03-25-56)
Landscape of Kyoto in 2057 is surrounded hills covered nature forest colorful painted in autumn. Kyoto become calmful place without noisy sightseers.
2011, earthquake hit Tokyo and Mikado(Emperor) returned to Kyoto.
Since then, Mikado and his men worked reconstruct the self-deffence system of magic. The system were neglected over than 100 years. But the systems like that have history over than 1000 years. The system keeps peace and control of Japan and defeat enemy with magical power. But the process of turning modern nation,Japanease goverment throw it away.
Mikado knew the most effective deffence system is magical system. Because his foots was shaked by the sign of awakening. He considered first to keep Kyoto and to take back lost.
Once Kyoto was cursed place with much death who were assasinated,killed in war, cornered to suicide,starved and plagued. Because Kyoto was the Capital of Japan.
So Kyoto was protected enough magicaly and spiritualy. Temples and shrines in Kyoto work for that.
This system is developped with latest magical theory and Kyoto in 2057 is the stronghold of magic.
In Kyoto construction business has many restrictions not to break magical deffence of city. But in south part of Kyoto, the restrictions are soft. Then many corporations have their buildings there.
(But Mituhama has its head office at Karasuma-Oike almost center of Kyoto. And Yamatetu has Gojo-Kawaramachi little south of enter of Kyoto.)
If astral being such as spirit or projected magician trys to enter the Kyoto area,they would be avoided by magical barrier rate 5 patroled by high threat guard spirits. If the being break the barrier into Kyoto,Kebishi the magical section of Imperial Palace Police notice that. If the being want to enter the Palace,he must break more high rate barrier.
But Kyoto is common city except of magical deffence.Yamauchi-kumi controls the dark quaters of Kyoto and Megacorp use them.
Once Osaka was the important port of Kyoto.When Tokyo was damaged and Kyoto become the Capital again, Osaka become the most important city about economy naturally.
There are two center in Osaka. Northern one is Kita(means North). Kita is the arrival point from Kyoto and office district large numbers of sarariman works.The head office of Shiawase is placed here. Its huge building face to Midosuji-Ave.
And some of deispersed goverment departments are here in Kita.They are Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Construction.
Another center is Minami(means South). Minami is realy contrast of Kita. Kita is the town of corporate people and Minami is the town of street people. Drop-out sarariman, smuggled people and refuges, they are easily found in Minami. The landscape of Minami is squalidly filled with crowd, stalls and shop handles from foods to cyberware. All riot in Japan broke out from here.Minami is energetic and free. But here is same place Yakuza strut along.
The influence of terrible polution of Osaka bay, the shore from Nanko-port to mouth of Yodo-River become Kawara(slum) except port area.
(Yes,Osaka bay has toxic area.)Yakuza in Osaka would like to sink someone to vanish out into Osaka bay.
But Osaka prefecture office plans Minami and bayside-area as redevelopement area.Shiawase accept this business.
Between Kyoto and Osaka was the place 3 railway lines run among fields, houses and factroy at the last of 20th century. In 2050's,there is no field and no houses but high-class. There are only corporation site and important road. In this area many VIPslives next to Kyoto.
