When the word "Gin-bura" started to be used to mean "enjoying shopping on
Tokyo's Ginza Street" (in Japanese, "burabura-suru" means strolling
leisurely), people in the Kansai region dubbed the activity of shopping and
passing time on Shinsaibashi Street as "Shin-bura." Since then, going to
Shinsaibashi for recreation has become fashionable for trendsetters.
