Hi Karen,
Very interesting material and fine exposures all round.  But? Even though
I'm a great believer in B&W photography I can't imagine shooting night
scenes in Tokyo in B&W. Particulalrly in the Ginza!

Given how well lit the Ginza is, almost like daylight with a million various
coloured lights and reflections no matter which way one looks? Why did you
choose B&W and not colour?

Just a thought.
