Arriving in Tokyo 東京に到着

http://www.livevideo.com/video/80sGuy/8BF81F59D9584EDB88B8016A0C593986/arrivi...
In this video I'm on the Narita Airport Express Train going from the Airport to Shinjuku Station in Tokyo. Some shots of the train platforms and the inside of Shinjuku station. Then video walking through the station to the exit. Yea walking shots sucks. No way to get a steady shot, but I had to do it anyway.

Shinjuku is, or was at that time anyways the worlds biggest train station. I believe it has over 65 different exits. My plan for the video was to exit at the one near the Altavision TV screen (which you can see later in the video). You would have been able to see the big screen TV as I came up the stairs. It would have been totally cool, but I screwed it up. I came out in a really boring place a block away.

Anyways there are some shots of Shinjuku at night while I was walking to the the Seibu-Shinjuku Station to catch the train to my hotel in Tokorozawa-shi Saitama-ken.

Then some shots of my very cheap hotel room. Thats what you get for $45 a night in Tokyo. Actually it was a pretty good deal.

"whats this song called??" "Sukiyaki" by Taste of Honey. They Japanese original version was by Kyu Sakamoto.

[MirageMC]

Great video!

What's the name of the song in the first scenes? It sounds so "Japanese" and it seems that it comes from the train lol

I wanna study japanese and live in Tokyo, it's my biggest dream since i was 8 years old. Keep believing! Thx with this video i have have a bit of hope, those streets are amazing!! Very nice job!

[an80sGuy]

Yeah, that's the 1981 hit song "Sukiyaki" by Taste of Honey. With that she rewrote the 1963 hit song of the same title by Kyu Sakamoto. Which is also a good song, but totally different IMHO. This version is really an original. Taste of Honey rocks. Then there was also a 1995 cover of it by 4 P.M. which I considered using for this video, but it sucks. So I didn't.

oh hotel has study desk, so you can do your homework

[virusone25]

That seems like a much better room than what you would get in the US for the same price.
