I did a double take because I've been using pictures from unsplash found by searching "tokyo night"[0] and "night city"[1] for wallpapers and they're nearly identical in color, saturation, and mood. I just rechecked because I thought maybe someone was stealing his work. Nope, they're originals, but amazingly similar.

Not to be too snarky, but the location itself does a lot of the work ;) To contribute something more positive, I've been following this photographer who does great POV videos of these very areas (and who also produces/obtains similar images) Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac6fDzsnhfQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac6fDzsnhfQ

While the style is very similar - and as the sibling comment said, the location does half of the work - there is no question the photos in the magazine are technically much better. Long focal lengths compress the scene for a more interesting look, the color grading is nicer, even if exaggerated, composition is more deliberate. Not to everyone's taste but very well executed.
