What Ley Lines is
Shinjuku neon hums past midnight on cherry-blossom pollen. Three kids flee rice fields, cigarettes clenched, cash sewn inside lining. They latch onto a Shanghai girl with hollow eyes and a knife shaped like a question. Yakuza tail-lights circle once, twice, then the streets forget how to let go. A Miike fever dream at the end of the nineties.
