Lol the only time I've ever seen a store like that was when it's either being renovated- or going out of business.
Even at peak COVID pandemic, I never saw local stores that empty.
Stores here _are_ that bright. Not sure what's going on with the area the the different white light that has the black walls. That area could be an aesthetic the manager is experimenting with.
Stores here are often open while renovating specific portions of the large stores. This keeps business going while construction is done. It's not clear in the video if this is the case though, so I can't verify it.
Stores in some cities are often empty at night with only a few employees. This can lead someone to wander around a store at 1-5am with almost no interaction.
@lucifargundam これはおそらくCGIだと思います。
@lucifargundam 実際にこんな状況になったんですね。

改装中や廃業した店に入れないし、そんな店がこんなに明るいわけがない。そして他の人がいない。その微妙な不自然さが魅力なんだ。
"Liminal Space" という表現が最近生まれたらしい。この映像もまさにその延長線にあるだろう。
