  • @95stangdude The "kaw-kaw"? It's a crow. They are everywhere in Tokyo, other cities have rats, Tokyo has crows...

  • @docsnoek they are pretty loud, destroy garbage, and steal pic nics but their caws are part of the sounds of tokyo :)

  • This brings back so many memories of when i lived in japan, and the semi used to sing and lure me to sleep... It was so nice

  • It is kinda relaxing :)

  • A lot of people find cicadas annoying, but I personally find it relaxing and almost necessary for summer. It feels empty living somewhere you can't really hear them...

  • @docsnoek God I love those sounds. Here in Mexico, we used to have cicadas when summer came, now they are gone due to growth in population and buildings. I love cicadas, they were a beautiful part of my childhood, wish they could come back. Regarding the crows, I love them too, but they make a different sound here!! Never would've thought they were crows, I was thinking it was more like a crane, thanks for clearing that up, I had been wondering for a long time what it was. Good day.

  • Sounds of Heaven

  • i like the first sound and the one near 0:52 where it goes weeoo~weeoo~

  • These actually wake me up in the morning! They're sooo loud here in Yokosuka!
