Tokyo from Lukas Backland on Vimeo.

Sadly, I have yet to touch ground in Tokyo. But luckily, people like Lukas Backland keep supplying me with enough footage to subdue my insatiable addiction with this place. In this video, we see a lot of movement, colour, and sights and sounds from what I believe is one of the coolest cities on the planet. Oh, and the soundtrack is pretty dope too. Enjoy!

TOKYO SLO-MODE from alex lee on Vimeo.

My obsession with this city keeps growing and growing, and videos like the one above don’t help. This video was cleverly shot by Alex Lee who manages to slow down the fast moving city through the usage of slow motion, stop motion, and time lapse. Lee also captures some of Tokyo’s iconic landmarks such as the Shiubya crossing and the steadily crammed JR train as well as some other sites. But again, don’t take my word for it, check the video out for yourself and let me know what you think of it.

Lost in Tokyo from Mark Bramley on Vimeo.

So rumour has it, the Japanese government is considering to pay for the flights of up to 10,000 bloggers, to visit the land of the rising sun. Since the earthquake in 2011, tourism has dropped by 60%, so to boost tourism the government is thinking of eating that cost so that bloggers and people with social media clout can blog about and document their experiences. If this is true, then I have to be one of them, I don’t think you understand just how much I’ve been dying to go out there. But until that happens, I’ll have to live vicariously through videos like this.
