Is this U149 location easy to photograph without blocking traffic?

Yes, but it is a normal urban street near Shibuya, so take photos quickly from the sidewalk and avoid stopping near driveways or narrow pedestrian space.

Can I match the anime angle exactly at Nishimura Radio Electric?

You can get quite close from the street corner, though some signage and street furniture have changed over time, so Google Street View is useful for fine-tuning the framing.

Are there convenient fan stops nearby for a short pilgrimage route?

Yes, the area is close to central Shibuya, so you will find cafés, convenience stores, and other walkable anime-spot candidates nearby for a compact visit.

Arisu Tachibana stands on a Shibuya-area street with a serious, composed expression as the city background frames her quiet resolve.
This moment appears as the characters begin facing the reality of idol work, and Arisu Tachibana is shown with a calm expression that feels more mature than her age, while her posture on the street hints at slight stiffness and caution. She wants to prove that she is grown-up enough to handle idol activities, yet she is still uneasy about the adults around her and the unfamiliar environment. The shot captures her defining contrast between outward composure and inner sensitivity, while setting up her later emotional growth and trust in the group. The anime scene corresponds to the streetscape near Nishimura Radio Electric in the Shibuya area, and the overall road alignment, building volumes, and corner geometry are reproduced with notable accuracy. The storefront frontage and street width are close to the real place, but the anime simplifies signage, color noise, and small commercial details, making the background look cleaner and more focused than reality. On site, you can see more modern signs, traffic fixtures, and miscellaneous urban elements, and a comparison with Google Street View shows that the production preserved the key outlines and camera perspective while adjusting some signs and background details to avoid excessive realism or direct trademark display.
