Introduction

The final project focuses on the batting center in Kabukicho. Specifically, we will focus on examining the normal and abnormal in the specific batting center that is located in Kabukicho. Our four main domains focus on types of people who come to the batting center, ways the place and space affect social orders, ways people follow social orders, and ways people break social orders. Furthermore, this website aims to compare the collected data with batting centers that are located in a more “normal” area (the Jingumae batting center) and examine the similarities and differences between the two. This project links to the Toho Cinema through our research on the relationship between social orders and the two selected areas. Specifically, we focus on studying how social orders differ in Kabukicho and further affect how individuals interact with each other.
