The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Tokyo Bandwagon è in origine un romanzo breve di genere giallo dello scrittore Shoji Yukiya, primo di una serie uscita tra il 2006 e il 2013, da cui è stato tratto un dorama autunnale nel 2013. Il titolo si richiama al cosiddetto "carrozzone di Tokyo", negozio di libri usati di lunga tradizione situato in un angolo della città, a fianco di una serie di templi shintoisti d'epoca Meiji e dotato anche di un piccolo bar al suo interno.
