Let Orbit be your guide through world-famous Shibuya Crossing

Let Orbit guide you through Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing

Shibuya Crossing is an aptly named intersection right outside of Shibuya Station, one of the busiest train stops in Tokyo. If you've seen Lost in Translation or "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," you've seen Shibuya Crossing. If you haven't seen either, congratulations, you have somehow evaded our binary system for classifying the human race. For you guys, it looks like this:

Notice anything unusual about this picture? Hopefully your answer is "the big green alien right in the middle of it." Yes, Orbit continued his quest to bring Japan's culture to all of us by spending some time in Shibuya. Even at an intersection where thousands of people routinely cross at once, it's impossible to lose sight of him:

He mingled with the crowd:

Making friends, as always:

He blended in so well that he shocked a few people:

And speaking of "Tokyo Drift" -- that's definitely what Orbit got up to later:
