Tokyo Swan 39: Real Life Shenmue

This episode of Tokyo Swan is one that I've wanted to do for a long time. I went to Yokosuka, more specifically, Dobuita, to the locations where the Sega Dreamcast game Shenmue were based on. Shenmue is one of my top 10 video games of all time, and I was able to discover some of the same locations that were adapted into the game. Also of interest in this episode, I visited the US navy base in Yokosuka as well and that was quite interesting and not unlike a small colony of Americans residing in Japan. This episode is something I'm very proud of, and thus it's my largest episode to date (for best results watch it in high quality mode), and I included tracks from the Shenmue game this time around to go along with the vibe of the episode. I hope everyone enjoys this tribute to ryo hazuki, landi, nozomi, fuku-san, ine-san, choi, tom, chen, and the rest of the crew from this amazing game crafted by Yu Suzuki at Sega.

also, who else is with me in desperately hoping for a Shenmue 3?
