Can I recreate the scene right outside Otsuka Station North Exit easily?

Yes. The plaza is immediately outside JR Otsuka Station North Exit, so the location is very easy to reach, but you may need to wait for gaps in foot traffic to match the frame cleanly.

Is photography allowed at the Otsuka Station North Exit plaza?

Casual photography is generally fine in the public plaza, but avoid blocking pedestrian flow, station access, or filming people closely without permission. Tripods may attract attention during busy hours, so keep your setup small.

Kasumi stands near the public plaza at Otsuka Station North Exit in a brief, quiet pause between the band’s emotional developments.
This moment appears during a stretch of the story when the characters are dealing with band activities and their feelings toward one another, and the mood briefly shifts from lively to quiet. The character stands alone in front of Otsuka Station’s north exit as if organizing her thoughts and facing the actions and choices she must make next. The scene carries a slight sense of anxiety and hesitation, but even more strongly it reflects a determination to reconnect with her original motivation under pressure; before this, the story has just gone through a series of emotional ups and downs involving performances and relationships, and after this, she moves forward again with her feelings sorted out. The anime’s depiction of the area around Otsuka Station North Exit is quite faithful to the real place, with the open plaza, road layout, and station facade all clearly matching the actual location, making it easy for viewers familiar with Tokyo streets to recognize it. The background is somewhat simplified in the anime, with some shop signs, roadside details, and advertisements reduced or omitted, but the overall spatial structure and scale are preserved very well. Compared with real life, the actual site usually has more pedestrians, bicycles, and transit fixtures, making it visually busier; when compared with the real location or Google Street View, you can see how the series keeps the place recognizable while adjusting visual elements to focus more strongly on the character’s emotions.
