Sapporo City Transit Bureau PV02 (2018)This is the second PV for the Sapporo Streetcar, and this time it's edited with the theme of "A Day in Sapporo on a Snowy Day." During the morning rush hour, many streetcars run in a line, carrying many passengers, and then hastily turn around to pick up the next passengers. After the rush hour ends, the flow of people calms down, and a peaceful time flows for both the trains and the people. However, because the daylight hours are short in winter, the sun begins to set quickly, and the shadows of the trains gradually lengthen. And at night, the illuminations light up the city brilliantly, but even so, the streetcars silently carry people home...
