Vlog Fail - Rainy Edition

[BSBcty]

Onnn *-* so cute kids *-*

[kisha8l8]

wow their uniform comes with a umbrella !! :)))

[domandlife]

I can totally relate to that, travel-vloging on rainy days is a beast. Keep up the good work!

[LH075382]

lol i feel so bad for that kid! that's one huge ass street~!

[csRocker]

i do stuff like this a lot,,only i don't film those people

i just look at them

while i'm sitting on a bench in the middle of a big city

or big mall

i just look at what people do and stuff

i can fill a whole day doing so

[CoyoteKun]

I shoot people in the rain too...but then there is an investigation and it takes a lot of time out of my day.

[R4nd0mn33s]

The kids running through the rain is just too cute.

I feel bad for the lost grandma!

[pansx]

love this video. subscribe. tokyo seems cool n modern.

[jorchomasika]

3:50 Why was that kid alone in the middle of the street O_o

[vishalquake3]

wow cutest kids ever ^_^ Can't wait for the around-the-world travel tips, cos I'd like to do that after a couple of years ! Oh & do you use a water proof case for ur camera or do you just stick it out in the rain :p Thank you !!

[yumyumsesame]

Aww those kids are so cute!

[ToLokyo]

@yumyumsesame Kodomo FTW!

[xaveryx]

WoW! A rainy video wih very good feeling and music. I liked when the children ran screaming across the road. Only 3 different colored umbrellas are manufactured in Japan? Black, dark blue and transparent :) I like that every children has same type and coloured umbrella.

[ToLokyo]

@xaveryx Haha - that's about it. :P Most people use transparent umbrellas 'cause it's so crowded...if you can't see through your umbrella it's harder not to run into people. O.o

[Nemesis093781]

Great video man, I hope you have a great start for your around the world trip. Yeah the little man in the end ran just like Naruto shinobi.

Like

[ToLokyo]

@Nemesis093781 Thanks! All this awesome support on YouTube is gonna make the trip even MORE awesome!  :D

[Morvium]

[poke6890]

[JoeInJapan86]

[eyesonvoi]

Awww...the opening was very cute! I really enjoyed this video. The combination of the song with your video is perfect.

Thanks for sharing!

[candywhite95]

[dondons1987]

great video! ^_^

[JapaneseWannabe23]

omg KFC (i dont like it but blah) and a girl in a lolita dress!!!! :D

[ToLokyo]

@JapaneseWannabe23 You saw her! I was wondering if anyone would catch that. :)

[JapaneseWannabe23]

@ToLokyo omg yes i love lolita style! i have been begging my parents to let me get a lolita dress! i want to live in japan so badly so its ok to wear dresses like that on the street...and i want a japanese school uniform!!!! i am so going to wear one next year.....kawaiiii!

[hoosierhana]

i like the music... i like to use rainy days as an excuse to nap!

[ToLokyo]

@hoosierhana Glad you liked it. I liked the fun kinda contrasty feel of the rainfall, slow beginning, but positive feeling overall. Matched the essence of the day perfectly. :D

[corpsevalentine]

you're awesome! XD

[ToLokyo]

@corpsevalentine No - YOU're awesome!

[corpsevalentine]

how'd you keep your camera from getting wet?

[ToLokyo]

@corpsevalentine Waterproof camera. ^_____^

I specifically looked for a waterproof camera so I wouldn't have to worry about that. Panasonic FT2 FTW!

[corpsevalentine]

@ToLokyo wow! you're so smart XD

[billybobjimjoejacksn]

In regards to the weather, HAARP at work.

[ToLokyo]

@billybobjimjoejacksn HAARP?

[ichigojello]

Nah I think it was a vlog win! Especially love the beginning shot. Hope the grandma found her way haha. Definitely going to check out the blog!

[ToLokyo]

@ichigojello Thanks! Reminds me - started writing one a few hours ago and didn't get to finish. I should go do that now. :)

[shakes1327]

I love how all the kids had matching umbrellas to go with their uniforms! I look forward to hearing more about your travels.

[johnyRidin]

i felt so sorry for the lost grandma.....makes me want to cry,,, looking forward to your around the world vlog!

[yuichituba]

The kid at the end ran like a ninja.

[ToLokyo]

@yuichituba It's like all ninjas are begging to be put into an arm lock while they run. :P

Go ninja go!!

[davidnodavid]

@yuichituba haha he did. Naruto FTW!!!

[yuichituba]

That was a great beginning with the kids and umbrella, running across the street.

[ToLokyo]

@yuichituba Thanks!

[jax12007]

Around the world in 80 days?

[ToLokyo]

@jax12007 Hmmm - a little more than 80 days, but that's the general gist. 

[undernoinnocence]

at the very end, the little kid stuck in the middle of the road looked like a little lost duckling. xD

[ToLokyo]

@undernoinnocence Isn't he cute? :) I was happy for him when the light finally changed.

[FredXT]

2:22 kfc lol

[ToLokyo]

@FredXT ケンタッキー ^_^

[furetosan]

And they say the tsuyu doesn't start 'til june...

[ToLokyo]

@furetosan I'm a bit weirded out by how early and heavy it is this year. I guess we got lucky with allergy season though, so no complaints. I'll take unending rains over allergies anyday!

[gtoyas]

雨の日の日常ってなんかいいですね＾＾

音楽もぴったりだし、すばらしいビデオでした。

[ToLokyo]

@gtoyas この曲はちょっと明るすぎるかな〜と思ったけど結局ぴったりでし­たね。

ありがとうございます！

梅雨でも素敵なところありますね。

[Pooobaihr23]

OMG i cant post to the vid

[Pooobaihr23]

@Pooobaihr23 Awe.. seeing all the little kids running in the rain. xD Thats so cute. Makes me think of my kids when it rains.. though.. If one of mine were there, hey would be drenched because for some reason they dont seem to grasp the concept that umbrellas go over your head and not behind it? And .. for some reason when i try and post (have tried like 10 times now) This thing keeps giving me an error. Gosh Youtube fails once again!

[ToLokyo]

@Pooobaihr23 Guess I wasn't the only one failing at my original goal today. Seems like things came out ok in the end though. ^_^

Kids are awesome like that, right? The things they grasp or don't grasp always amaze me.

[ToLokyo]

@Pooobaihr23 Thanks for not giving up! Sometimes YouTube can be really annoying about what you can and can't post in comments... Just try not to have anything that could possibly look like links or html. :)

[Ericgtx]

Interesting video and the music is very positive! :-D

[ToLokyo]

@Ericgtx Glad you liked it!

[LoveGirugamesh]

lol, idky, bt it looked that the boy in the end was running like a ninja from NARUTO XDD

[ToLokyo]

@LoveGirugamesh Hehe - you're kinda right! I always wondered why ninjas would run like that...makes them more aerodynamic?

[Noobiie69]

ur gay

[sauron1grenoble]

AWESOME VID!

... i wish for more street shots like these from the youtube community, in which people aren't shaking the camera like crazy!

[ToLokyo]

@sauron1grenoble I'd hate to pull you away from all the awesome j-vloggers we've got here, but just to let you know, you can see a lot more street shot kinda stuff on vimeo. Just do a search for Tokyo. You won't see any personality of the creator though...usually just the streets with music or something like that. I prefer the social feel of YouTube.

I'm just glad I could capture the awesome moment of sudden rain we had today. ^_^

[MissHannahMinx]

Hahaha, it's hard to tell the difference between when you're saying 'vlog' and 'blog.' Captions! Yummy smelling summer rain... well, I imagine it smells yummy. ^_^ This video was really great. I liked the kids and cinematography. And I know exactly what intersection you are at near Sophia! :D Shinjuku dori with the station on the right and KFC across the street. ^o^ Warm squishy feelings seeing that part of yotsuya again.

[ToLokyo]

@MissHannahMinx Captions added. ^^

I should probably start saying v-log 'cause I'm gonna blog more, so probably talk about it more.

It really did smell yummy! I smelled yummy in the cafe editing it while soaked from it too. :P

Yotsuya is such a great part of town! I love all the area between Akasaka and Iidabashi - heck, all the way to Waseda is cool. :) Now I wanna go for a walk again!

[edtomorrow]

WOW!!!! Whos in charge up in here?!!! If this was the states that school or the city or SOMEONE would be getting sued for letting those kids run loose like that. Obviously they are fine and everything is as it should be for Japan. That just shows another angle on how the U.S. isnt as cool as we think we are. Im just saying...IMO.

DUDE! Im all ears and eye for your up coming travels! Gambatte!

[ToLokyo]

@edtomorrow Right!?? It's crazy that all those kids are just roaming around such a busy intersection. It's right near the emperor's residence as well. Wonder if there are some royal brats in there? :P

Glad to hear I'll have you with me on my travels!

[OliviaAlexandriaAhh]

I love this. Great idea!! =)

[ToLokyo]

@OliviaAlexandriaAhh Thanks!

[iwannalearnjapanese]

The last kid is like "RUN RUN RUN RUN!!!" lol 

[MrPentraxmul]

disuki rain I just do not like the cold. nice footage. Aww poor Kid!! keep the peace and umbrella with you

[ToLokyo]

@MrPentraxmul Glad the kid seemed ok in the end. I was a bit worried for him, but he didn't seem phased a bit.

[Theytoldmetodoit1]

I think Japan and rain go together :-) Have a great time travelling around the world...I am some what jealous.

[ToLokyo]

@Theytoldmetodoit1 Definitely Japan in June = rain. I really loved the rain today...it was a really friendly rain, I thought.

[studyingjapanese]

It must be exciting to go around the world... a total adventure.

It's been years since the last time I used an umbrella, and the last time i used one I lost it.

[ToLokyo]

@studyingjapanese I'm really excited about it! Around the world is saying a bit much maybe - who knows where I'll end up. But I'm gonna hit the road and keep moving for a year or so. We'll see how it goes! Please follow along. ^_^/

[Figjamplay]

this was so fun to watch thanks for uploading! :D

[ToLokyo]

@Figjamplay Thanks! What a great first comment - you made me smile. ^__^

[Figjamplay]

@ToLokyo no problem i enjoy your videos a lot :3
