DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His intimate character studies of Tokyo residents navigating relationships and survival often unfold against the backdrop of the city's nocturnal rhythms and neon-lit environments.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His visually sumptuous style of neon-soaked nightscapes, romantic yearning, and transient encounters in urban spaces profoundly influenced the aesthetic of Tokyo nightlife cinema.
