The noisiest thing in the area was this stage show (there were actually a few of them, just a hundred meters apart) in front of the big shopping centers that featured what looked like amateur shows or singing contests. It seemed to be a big deal as it attracted huge crowds, and the people were really into it, cheering for the people that went all out. The music was your typical K-POP/J-POP stuff. When I say noisy I really mean it, and Yuko had to plug her ears as we passed by.
