Thanks for clarifying that, and if I ever see you walking about filming during trips to Japan, I'll be sure to stop and say hello. Out of curiousity, were you heading anywhere in particular, or just walking around aimlessly? 8-)

LOL you wrote 1300 and you said 1200 xD you should fix that

Very informative video, but I got motion sickness half way though :(

@PorcelanPaula I usually try and finish up somewhere that's cool-ish looking and just wonder over there. That's why I sometimes seem to be going round in circles, because I want to try and finish in a fun place!!

Your camera is so beautiful.
Watching every video relaxes me soo much just looking at the scenery around you as you walk.

@GenkiJapanNet it definately is better. I just wonder, do you go somewhere you know you want to go.? xD or you just go somewhere, record and get lost after that.? :D

I heard from the "Let's Learn Japanese" series Japanese say "shi" if reciting a numbers in a series, since shi rolls off the tongue better. However, if announcing 4 alone as is, they say yon.
HOWEVER, I watched an episode of Gaki no Tsukai, an Osaka comedy group, and the cast, when counting down to the show's finale, said "yon" instead, contradicting what "Let's Learn Japanese" said! Plus, they counted down as a group, and all of them said "yon" w/o confusion!
So yea, now I have no clue :P.

@RelVleDy Yeah, that's why we have to forget any "rules" and just listen to lots & lots of Japanese and eventually things will just start to "sound" correct, just like " a apple" sounds wrong to your ears now!
