Main AI Prompt

Main Prompt Content
"Create a photorealistic cinematic night street scene of {argument name="city and district" default="Shibuya, Tokyo"} as if Japan remained culturally frozen in the 1990s but reached {argument name="future year" default="2026"}: no smartphones, no modern LED minimalism, only flip phones, pagers, taxis, buses, analog nightlife, and dense Showa-to-Heisei era signage beneath newer high-rise towers. The viewpoint is from a wet pedestrian crossing after rain, looking into a crowded neon entertainment district with glossy reflections on black pavement. Include exactly 4 prominent vehicles: 1 red-and-cream taxi in the lower left foreground, 1 city bus with headlights in the center distance, and 2 dark sedans in the midground traffic. Include a large crowd of commuters and nightlife pedestrians in 1990s clothing; foreground has 2 main figures seen from behind, a young woman with long hair and a shoulder bag on the left and a young man in a denim jacket holding a shopping bag in the center. Architecture should mix towering 2020s-scale skyscrapers in the background with 1990s Japanese commercial buildings covered in vertical signs, karaoke ads, hostess-club notices, CD-shop-style posters, pachinko and entertainment billboards. Include exactly 3 dominant billboard clusters: a curved building on the left with red Japanese characters and a large washed-out screen, a central blue idol-group billboard reading {argument name="central billboard text" default="青い風"}, and a tall cylindrical right-side billboard with bold red Japanese lettering and an illustrated retro anime-style woman. Use Japanese text throughout the signage, but make it slightly imperfect and atmospheric rather than clean typography. Lighting should be moody, humid, and filmic, with amber taxi lights, cyan-blue signs, red neon, halation, deep shadows, visible grain, slight lens softness, and a nostalgic 35mm film look. Composition should feel like a documentary photograph from an alternate-history Tokyo, crowded, vertical, overwhelming, and realistic, with {argument name="weather mood" default="rain-soaked streets and humid night air"}."
