These are the berries of nandina domestica or more commonly known as nandina or sacred bamboo. Their bright red color and ball shape make the berries look so pretty!
Sacred bamboo is very popular as a lucky plant in Japan because its Japanese name "Nanten" means "change difficulty." And that's why the plant is seen in many places, including my neighborhood where the shrub in these photos grow. But the area will be redeveloped, so the plants growing there, including not only nandina but spray mums, polyporaceae, and chocolate vine, should be all gone in a year or two.
So, I felt a bit sentimental while taking these photos until a woman stopped to ask me what I was doing. I said I was taking photos of these beautiful nandina berries, then she told me happily, "Yeah, they're pretty but I'm very happy to move out to a new apartment nearby and won't have to take care of them. They're too much!!"

You need to put yourself in their shoes to understand what they're experiencing.....😆

近所の南天（ナンテン）です。まん丸で真っ赤な実がかわいいです。ただこの辺りは再開発されているので、1~2年後にはこの南天だけでなく、スプレー菊、猿の腰掛（サルノコシカケ）、木通（アケビ）もなくなってしまいます。
「今年で最後かな」なんて思いながらパシャパシャしていたら女性が近寄って来て「何してるの？」と聞いてきました。「南天がきれいなので写真撮ってます」と答えたら「きれいだけどもう面倒見なくていいからうれしいよ。新しいアパートに引っ越すの！！」とのこと。物事、相手の立場に立って考えないと分かりませんね😆！
