Old Footage 2-"Skateboard Ramblings in Mejiro"

Some interesting old raw footage of me skateboarding in a district in Tokyo called "Mejiro" (one stop away from famous "Ikebukuro").

Story behind this:

When I was living in Tokyo, almost every day I would try find new places to go visit. After I ran out of tourist places to visit, I would just get a book and read it on the train, then after finishing a chapter or 2 I would get off at the next stn.


Funny commentary happens after 03:40, where I talk in the voice my friend Kirin always loved hearing when I was back home :'(

------side note-------

Listening to Beach Boys while skate boarding kicks ass ;D

That house at 4:56 was awesome.

In a manga and one anime (which also has a manga) I read and saw respectively, those types of houses are usually a Yakuza base of operations in the neighbourhood.
