Japan is the closest you can get to an ALTERNATE REALITY. Hontou.

[xxxanonanonymousxxx]

Your videos are really cool. I love them. Thank You.

[psalmenlesung]

good clip and very well done, thanks for sharing.

also got a canon hv30, greetings from switzerland

[CanNat8]

I lived in Tokyo and love watching this video - it captures the essence of Tokyo so well. 懐かしい! Thanks for helping me keep my memories alive :)

[RobertAlanMacDonald]

this video inspired me to buy an hv30 over 2 years ago...

now im eyeballing the sony nex 5

[NissuTSX]

Beautiful. Simply Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this great video to us :)

[otacon1024]

I love you and I love this video <3 It's a very strange feeling - I've never been to Japan, yet I feel like I've always belonged there. It's like a painful feeling of nostalgia for things I never experienced myself. In any case, I'll definitely make it there one day. Nothing can stop me. Not even myself :D

[Jagsta2733]

Fantastic Video.

I just have 1 question. At 1:22 you can see that the corners are blurred. I have a cannon HV40 and the same thing happens to mine. Is there a way to fix this? And why does this occur?

[kaaiNolan]

fantastic vid

[hellokittyislovexDD]

awesome vid :)

[jiggydc]

awesome work man! love this

[FilipaChii]

@2:42 RUKI !!! :D

[durrigible]

I feel like I've watched this video about 6 or 7 times so far. I'll be leaving for Tokyo Thursday next week for the first time in my life. I'll be there for 3 weeks exploring Tokyo, Shiga, and Kyoto, mostly by myself. I've spent years studying Japanese culture and language (in high school and college), and I'm really nervous about my trip! It's scary! Watching this video, though, I feel more at peace about it. Great job with this vid; hope you make more.

[ilovemyasia]

@durrigible After this visit you will love Japan even more.

I was in Japan two times and I've never regretted it.never once

I wish you good luck on your trip

[ilovemyasia]

@durrigible

after this trip you will love Japan even more.I was in Japan two times and i've never regretted it,

I wish you good luck on your trip.

[bambi1o1]

great job amazing video....you just reminded me why im excited to move to japan soon...

[bambi1o1]

amazing video.....

you did a rally great job

[fikerk]

By the way, I loved the transition from morning to night. Really brought out the chronological aspect of the video.

[SasayakuYume]

I've wanted to go to Japan for a long time, and this video made me remember why.

[fikerk]

Can you upload a HD version if you do have it? Thanks!

[SashaBlueMoon]

2:41 oh wow, is that Ruki himself or just a really good cosplayer? Seems weird he'd be out in public meeting people like that..

[Pyr01]

i finally went to Tokyo last year, just walking down the street was an adventure. Fucking awesome city

[pokeyoaks86]

@Pyr01 You probably put what I couldn't think to put into words so well that I had to vote you up. Love it!

[heijin]

Anyone wondering, the song is Lazy Eye (Jason Bentley remix) by Silversun Pickups

[pokeyoaks86]

@heijin Thank you

[HunterWarrior]

3:43 Evil crow! The crows there are effing HUGE!

[arawk]

Thanks for the video! It's been 3 years since I have been back to Japan...I missed it a little less after watching this. 

[TheAlienmonkey]

Going to japan this summer! This video got me hyped :D!! Can't wait!

[Pyr01]

@TheAlienmonkey if u goto Harajuku goto the Noa Cafe and get some waffles they aren't cheap but worth it.

[mieroth]

Yay, I love videos showing people going on with their daily lives in whatever country. :D <3

[cogiskart]

Japanese girls, oh my pants i love 'em

[bbdud3]

Really well done. I feel that you've done a fine job of capturing what a day in Tokyo might be like. The music went really well with the video. I really enjoyed this.

[simplemindize]

i love this video! Tokyo really ROCKS!!! Dreaming to live there someday ....

[kentaokabe]

Tokyo ~ Endless Discoveries

[Inga1121997]

super video !!!

[83LAdude]

Super job! Can't wait to visit Tokyo soon.

[XxShinzouXSamaxX]

2:42 !!

RUKI FROM THE GAZETTE. <3

[wwwfivepuddlescom]

Great job. Having spent some time in Japan, I can say I think you did a pretty accurate portrayal of what one would experience wandering around Tokyo for a day or two. More people need to experience the beauty that is Japan, and the creative, compassionate, friendly people that live there.

[MaTTTaX]

If Tokyo ever will be the same?

I really hope for it...

[TheIrvanism]

what the name of the song? pretty much like this!!!

[shadowpal2]

THIS VIDEO IS GORGEOUS!

I like making films myself...but unfortunately don't get the time to get shots and stuff...by you showed me that you can really just get shots of life and create it into a FREAKING masterpiece. Your editing is amazing. Thank you for showing this video.The other thing is that...many of my friends are from Tokyo, Japan. I REALLY REALLY miss them. I never went to Japan...but I want to go some day just to see them and hang out. I hear it's expensive, but they're my friends

[shyamvarma]

Hi Markus,

I think this video is incredible. The editing, some of the angles and most importly, the eye of the photographer are something else. I also like the 'look'of your camera, do you use a special lense? Are you a professional or professionally trained?

Im new to photography/filmmaking so just curious to know. Thanks for your work!

[AdiVampire]

i NEED to visit japoooooooooon! (im spanish :))

[Defiro2k8]

the true real face of the modern tokyo - very well done!

[kentaokabe]

This is a very beautiful video of Tokyo ^^

I miss the Shibuya scramble, the crowded Tokyo =((

[EVANGEL1ON1]

Is a wraith video of tokyo, I love that city (although I have not been there).

And excuseme, what is the name of the song from video?

thanks n.n

[PichanDaisuki]

wow!

[satoimo118]

nice camera works! and great edditing!

[japanandtheworld]

Probably my favourite place on earth <3 !!!!

[XsircastleX]

es mi sueño conocer y vivir en  japon por su riqueza cultural algún día lo lograre

[TheAark]

This truly captures the essence of tokyo. Beautiful job. Favorited and subbed.

[lucky53633]

how did you do the animated text at the begining??????????

[sawory]

japan is a beautifull city, my dream is live and work i can to work free one year and learn japanese in there they people are frienship and very very happy

[UrBen21]

What music did you use please tell me. The Beautiful Strangers video was great too and I loved the music and I love this music more gut you didn't post it so please tell me i would really like to know. thank you :)

[Aristosek]

@UrBen21 Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye (Jason Bentley Rmx)

[UrBen21]

@Aristosek thank you so much for telling me I love this song! :D

[TokyoNerd]

This is the best montage about Japan I have ever seen. It's most certainly not rushed, the music fits perfectly, and even though this is not 720p or 1080p the quality still looks amazing. You have obviously been in Japan for a while since you seem to capture the essence of what Tokyo, Japan is. You clearly show all the new technology intermingled with the traditional Japanese culture. I'll love this video, it reminds me of Japan, and what I have to look forward to when I return again someday.

[romanirose23]

amazing job.it really does give you the full image of tokyo.such a beutiful city in such a beutiful cultured country

[UrBen21]

You have a talent for filming at the heart of moments when people are going on with life and you caught it all and picked a great song to go with it thank you for creating this video. I want to go to Tokyo so bad and this video is good quality I've seen many and yours is really good.

[djmahe19]

Beautiful: Thank you.

[Photo314159]

I still love this video. It inspires me to shoot and edit. Great job!

[kahooli1]

i was in Japan for 5 years and i absolutely love this country,people,culture...I wish i could go back ..soon!!

[UrBen21]

@kahooli1 were you always sure that you wanted to live in Tokyo and

did you ever get really homesick? I love Tokyo but I'm afraid that when

go that I will just be too homesick. I know it's a very different place

compared to any other place on earth. Please reply.

[TokyoNerd]

@UrBen21

If you truly love the country, and enjoyed living their, you wouldn't become homesick.

[shinjimomoi]

The best video of Tokyo on youtube :D

[MunnyLife]

Wow. That was really amazing! Motivates me to go to Japan even more 5/5

[HayabuSa171]

everyone doin ther own thang. thats wat im talkin bout

[sirodknir246]

Excellent! I can imagine myself in your video. You hit all the familiar spots that I miss so very much. I would move back in a heartbeat if I could. Thanks for sharing this great video.

[cookiesaur]

I love it ~

[dizziemd]

The shots, music, people, everything!

You did a fantastic job!:)

[RetrospectProd]

[Dogen]

everything about this video is fantastic. 5 stars.

[dae3xt]

silversun pickups.. nice song and video. thanks..

[abemoni]

What can I say? Wanna take a flight to Narita, now.  Very cool.

[TokyoNerd]

I loved it. It was a great look at Japan that I haven't seen before. I also thought it was well shot, and well edited.

[19ulrich90]

i just can't stop watching this video:D

[Akatsuki8989]

woooooooooah maaaan

i would give u 1000 stars here on youtube if i could

[socalmerc]

i wanted to buy a camcorder but i wanted to make sure i got the best and your video helped out in choosing the right one thanks!!

i'm hooked to your work, keep them coming

[hokuto73]

One of the best videos I've seen! Anyway we can convince you to make a Kyoto video?

[noodleninjaa]

The Canon HV30 shoots in HD so I DEMAND you re-upload this in 720p!

Have a nice day, sir :D

[sonicballer8888]

no, 1080p. Youtube now supports 1080p as of last week.

[ikemenbcn24]

really really amazing *-*

[incognito84]

This video is amazing! The editing, choice of soundtrack and the locations you chose are just great. I love Tokyo, I spent some time there last year and am going back to teach English next year. This makes me even more excited.

[rotormeeeeeeee]

Wow! This video shows that with the right equipment and know-how, it's possible to create a real masterpiece. Excellent and very inspiring!

[spazikrust]

did you use final cut?

[cher032189]

damn that was a lot of hair gel lol

[xodo25]

I love it

[meandmywebcam]

I'm getting the Canon HV40 soon and going to japan in december this year. I can't wait!!!! : P

[senbee01]

Please can you tell me who's singing in the clip?

[Exleusa]

I'm pretty sure it's the Silversun Pickups who're singing the song. The song is called "Lazy Eye." Off the album Carnavas.

[ycbmacau]

i don't think that is Higher Quality ,not clear

[DimsimMaster]

the gold fish shot was amazing

[carlosfarva]

Was this filmed during a cosplay event? I'd love to see this in person, it looks so vibrant and full of life.

[heber810]

thats what i loved about tokyo thats just a normal day , everyday is like that .. i think everyone should experience tokyo at least once.

[companios]

AMAZING!!! I love how the opening shot mirrors the final shot. Simply stunning

[kungfusnwbrdr]

Very nice, added that one to my favorites...found your video because I'm looking to get the Canon HV30 myself and wanted to see the kind of footage the camera can shoot. Thanks!

[soofreshtodef]

wow.... mindblowing how well you captured japan... never even been there and i felt like i was on a vacation... honestly beautiful video.....

[chubbs712]

i watch this video almost daily. i still wonder why i havent saved and just moved there. i loved it so much it hurt getting on the plane going home.

[teokakashi92]

[poolboyinla]

This is really great. I love the way you did your text in the opening.

I also love the greasers dancing.

[IchigoHUN89]

I love this work! It motivates for me (months ago) to bye a Canon HV 30. Your footage, your cut and the music... perfect!

One day - I promise - I will have trip to Tokyo.

[BozsikBalazs]

Great video!

I especially liked the rockabilly performers. Could you upload that part alone with original music? Thanks! :)

[Ma2amune]

Cool story, bro:)

[untinel]

Nice video!! Im living in Tokyo now. This is exactly what of real Tokyo without any filters. I like it.

[marcioas1973]

Are you a video maker? Nice job. I am trying to have a trainingship in Japan and seeing this video makes me want more to spend some time there.

[JavaManEntertainment]

Man I would love to do some filming there with my hv20 and film equipment, great video

[AzuriKdk2]

hmm what is the song in the video called? can't find it anywhere :(

[weianc]

Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye (Jason Bentley Remix)

[idinho]

cool at 0 :37,when you switch focus from front guy to the girls behind,was that easy on the cam?

I hope i dont have to buy any accesory to do that.

thnx

[theryaner]

I don't own the camera yet... But that focus i can imagine it to be rly difficult to get it that smooth without a focus ring. But with practice you can do anything.

[mike20021969]

great video indeed.

one of the best i've seen.

5 stars.

[kflze]

August 8th - 11th ? That's exactly the time when I was in Tokyo too. Maybe I'm in this vid.

*goes looking* Nice job :)

[persianthug54]

haha

i was living in japan during that time

I was actually in Shibuya, Harajuku, and Ginza the 11th-13th lol.

i doubt I'm in the vid, but funny how it's such a small world.

何か、本当に懐かしい。。。俺。。。日本に帰りたいなぁ。。。

[kflze]

true, small world.

definitely is. :)

[rainyskky]

This is very well done. Great. Awesome. Tottaly Freaking awesome.Deserves mroe than 5 starts haha Beautiful.

[cool2bwichu]

man, this is a really cool vid dude...

can i ask you a question though; did you use any other attachments on the cam?

[pointlessaccount69]

Really fantastic video. I keep coming back to watch this.

[misio87]

better than some profesional music videos even if this isnt one i would still like to watch this on mtv

[IDislikeCowards]

This actually looks like a professionally produced music video. I really like the

24p frame rate, it's hard to tell it's not film.

Great job.

[takeru919]

あれ？東京カッケェェェェ

[majipaneesu]

Oh......

I think that Akihabara is Japanese shame...

[Gnappee]

Very good, man!!!

[BloodN3ss]

[PismoBeach]

FIVE STARS

You really captured the feel of Tokyo by day and by night.

[djmelucho]

WOOOW the quality of video is amazing, good work friend.

[Tindel10]

Did this take forever to upload?

[777JUN777]

Nice! I loved it! I like watching my city from your view.

[Blahhhhhhhhh]

wow what an amazing place

[DJCnetwork]

I have the hv20 just a minor difference, but what editing software/program did you use?

[Japonicasian]

Great video!!!

[savingthesquid]

[zentibs]

Wwaauw did you really make this =D it's really cool.. and all the people there.. they're so pretty and stylish and all :O

[elbichoportu]

Excelent video 5 stars... did you use a 35mm adapter for this?

[Aristosek]

[showmetexas]

How did you get such steady moving camera shots?

[patricksmith04]

Great work.

[SycoTik]

This video gave me all the more reason why I need to go to Tokyo, Japan. Thank you, this was made awesomely. :)

[pedrogas79]

Excellent video, kid. Congratulations...this is by far the best video of japan I have ever seen...

[sugar92]

you absolutely shows the reality in Tokyo. amazing trailer.

[repeet80]

You got the feeling well! Beautyful. Go ahead! ;)

[vittogol]

EXCELLENT!! We want more information about the gear. I mean, did you use only the canon cam or addons lens or adapter? What did you use then to make the editing one or more software? Adjusted also the colors via software, this is really great!

[MGAVBRACE]

this needs more views

[josxr9]

i can't describe how badly this makes me want to go to tokyo.

[azndragonguy115]

my fav.

[MGAVBRACE]
