  I&apos;m a 71yr old man and have been traveling by bycicle camping everywhere twenty more times throughout Japan since my 45. You are really talanted to catch the essence of what you see. In this chaotic world when you do something pushing the earth forward even a tiny step better a precious contribution.

  Hi, I am Japanese. <br>I used to think that my life was just a boring everyday, but watching this dramatic movie made me feel a little better. <br>Being a part of this scenery might not have been a bad life.

  I spent the summer of 2023 here. This captures these two beautiful cities so well. Sheesh it&apos;s breathtaking so great work! &nbsp;I love Japan, Tokyo/ Osaka. I truly appreciate how the Japanese culture and lifestyle. Yes I get that no culture or country is perfect, so I don&apos;t want to romanticize Japan, but as an American, who&apos;s also lived and travel in other parts of the world, Tokyo is the ultimate city experience. IT has a little bit of everything you imagine a city would be. From the people, to the food, to the music, to the transit system, cleanliness, to the art and fashion to the intensity of the work life/family life balance, to the preservation of culture, to their traditions to the innovations. The philosophies people live out everyday that stood out to me was Shu-Ha-Ri and Onkochishin. &nbsp;Thank you Japan for the life experience that I will never forget. Arigatou Gozaimasu

  As a Japanese, I honestly do not like Tokyo. People and buildings are cluttered and crowded, and there is too much unnecessary information such as advertisements and announcements. Compared to the traditional and well-designed cityscapes of Europe, Japanese cities look really bad.<br>But in your video, Tokyo itself is like an organism, and I could feel the vividness that people are living right here. It made me think again that this might be a good thing. Thank you.

  I lived in Tokyo near Shinjuku for nearly three years in the late 80th. This videos makes me feel homesick so much. Very well done. A masterpiece.
