i was actually looking for the shopping centre NAMBA WALK when i found this. quite cool. i live in osaka and you've done well capturing it!!
the glico man (running man) is one of the most recognisable spots in osaka. apparently the first thing they released was a caramel candy that contained enough energy for a man to run exactly 300 metres (depicted in the neon lights). You can wiki this story :)
Hey man loved the vid! I am moving to Japan for a year in September and I will be near Namba Station, I know this is dotonbori but i get the idea! really enjoyed it! I plan on doing a similair style vid when i'm there for friends etc!
You are right, It is dotombori... but at the time I recorded it, I was told it was Namba Walk.. Id never been to Japan before so, or anywhere for that matter so I just ran with it... lol,. still thats not the point of the video now is it?
I know it isn't the point of the video, my point was just to highlight that the place in the video wasn't Namba Walk. The reason being is that any future tourists to Osaka will be very disappointed if they get directed to Namba Walk as it is a great place to shop if you are an elderly Japanese woman. Dotombori on the other hand, well watch the clip...
Aww.. I want a Snoopy! .... Oh, do NOT apologise! You're doin' greAt! Do you know how coool this is?! Wow.. Look at that LOBster!:p ..it's all soo colourful! .. it IS noisy!.. thanks! .. wow.. what IS that contraption?! ..The lights and colours just go on forEVer! .. WHAT a TREAT you sharing this! SO appreciated!:D WHEEEEE
OK you're gonna love this, I stumbled across your name, was looking at video titles to see what you've been posting and swear to God I thought this said, Osaka - NAMBLA walk and I was like WTF!! Sorry mate, my bad. :)
WOW! Thanks for being our tour guide. Looks like you are having a great time. My son is jealous :) He loves Japan and is taking Japanese in school, he is even in the Japanese club! He says thanks for showing as well! ;0}
I was in Okinawa from '86-'87 and your vid brought back memories. The Japanese obsession with "cute," the garish city lights, and the congestion. Most definitely a different culture!

dotonbori is about 5 min walk from namba station. Hope you have an awesome time. I know I did.

That isn't Namba walk, Namba walk is an underground shopping strip. It looks like Dotombori.
