tokyo neighborhood thick with bars



Video Title : tokyo neighborhood thick with bars
Description : my bike ride through golden gai, one of the oldest areas in tokyo. at least 50 bars, most with no more than 5 seats. Built just after WWII this area would have been (over) developed just like the rest of shinjuku, but a grassroots movement in the 70's protected it. I suppose now its likely to get destroyed when THE BIG ONE hits tokyo, but until then its a quiet out of the way place that you can go to to get a taste of old tokyo. the path leading to it used to be a train line that led to shinjuku station.

dude, the backsounds of your videos are the best! tell me, where did you get it?

wow it looks soooo pretty there. i cant wait till I got next summer for 2 months! :D any other 'secret' places like this that you know of? just nice places to take walks? maybe film as well

great kalimba tune --how many overdubs? and is your percussion sound a drum? or are you striking the kalimba? sounds great!

you can check out my other video of me actually playing it, if you want to hear more.

Karasu (crow) nice song

nice video...made me miss japan. what are the themes?

nice. those crows are always there in tokyo.

the ravens of shinjuku, they are believed to be evil spirits

yeah, they dont seem natural at all, but their bird calls sound good lol

I have this fantasy that I can befriend them and they will do my bidding, just needs a sacrifice, a baby, or a basket of kittens.
