May 31, 2021: Nakake-Cho(In front of Pachinko Salon)
On the last day when restaurants and bars were requested to close 8:00 pm by local government, the number of people passed through the street around the pachinko salon was nearly as same as May 12, the evening just after the application of the stronger measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in Sendai finished. Around the fixed recording point, three staffs of Izakaya bar which ignored the request for shorter business hours and opened until midnight was touting. Several people went in and out the Pachinko salon in front of the recording point, as usual.



May 31, 2021: Nakake-Cho (In front of Mihara-Do)
This soundscape was recorded at in front of the Mihara-Do in the second block of the central street from the station. The number of people around here was clearly more than May 12. A group of foreigner with shopping bags of a convenience store were drinking alcohic beverages around the benches in front of McDonald's. Several people went in and out McDonald's, while I recorded the soundscapes.



May 31, 2021: CLIS road (in front of AEON shopping center)
This soundscape was recorded in front of AEON. Like Nakake-cho, the number of people who passed through was similar to May 12. However, the number of people who went in and out AEON were clearly more than May 12.



May 31, 2021: In front of Fujisaki Department store
The number of people passing around Fujisaki department store was clearly more than May 12. Maybe because I recorded this soundscape around 8:00 pm when restaurants and bars were requested to close, there were several groups who seemed to be returning from a drinking party.
