Congratulations at Shinjuku Crossing!" -November 1970

In November 1970, every time a tourist bus stopped at a traffic light at the west exit of Shinjuku Station, there was a unique scene in which all the passengers shouted "Congratulations! every time a tourist bus stopped at a traffic light at the west exit of Shinjuku Station. The event took place during Spring Traffic Safety Week, and celebrities such as Rokusuke Naga and Makoto Wada were on the bus, adding special color to the scene. Such actions reflect the historical background of the time, when traffic safety awareness was conducted with a sense of humor. The episode symbolizes the vitality and sense of unity in Shinjuku, which developed during the period of rapid economic growth, and has been handed down as a valuable record of urban change and heightened social awareness.
