Thanks. Sadly, even the first page view is not visible for me on GPrint :( --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:45, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should have put the URL to google.com (I just did). Here's the text. It's kind of complicated for me to understand enough to summarize it in the article:

At the south end of Harajuku station, the Jingu-bashi bridge leads to the large main gate of the shrine. Built to traverse the train lines underneath and adjoin the intersection that connects Omotesando with Yoyogi, the bridge is only 130-feet long. With arches lining one side and large poured-cement lanterns at either end, the bridge is like the proscenium of a theatrical stage. The raised footbridges that straddle the avenues nearby give pedestrians an elevated view of the bridge. So it is natural that it functions like a theater, in this case of fashion, mostly of the Goth-Loli ilk. Jingu-bashi gained notoriety in the late 1990s when visual-kei bands and their groupies gathered there for ad hoc performances. Yoninah (talk) 21:14, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
