I went out for a ride after dark (around 21:00) to see what Tokyo looks like when it is making an effort to conserve energy.
I have never seen or heard Shinjuku and Shibuya so dark and quiet at this time of night.

It may not look like much of an effort is being made at all in Shinjuku and it seems like business as usual at a casual glance but looking closely you can see that all of the major signage along the tops of the buildings and all outdoor flat screen TVs are switched off.
