🎭

I want to go to Japan. Yuki Eikawa’s travel videos are extraordinarily immersive — This video is so simple and really captures the atmosphere in a way other promotional/tourist material does not. Eikawa doesn’t add narration or background music and mostly shoots at eye level, and I’m so glad I had the option of watching this in ultra high-definition:

It is honest. Unlike his earlier work, the camera isn’t stationary, which is very cool. I like being a part of the crowd and seeing vibrancy and colourful fashion everywhere! Unlike here in New Zealand where black and every shade of grey is always in season. The streets are so clean, quaint and friendly looking too, that is to say, I’d just like to walk through the neighbourhood and explore. Do the same up Queen Street for seven minutes and you’ll probably run into at least 12 homeless men expelling phlegm on the sidewalk. Yes twelve. I counted once. …I so want to go to Japan.

Very nice. To be fair however, I’m the type who would also appreciate seeing the grimy side of city life too. But then that’s not very attractive is it. Nice work Yuki Eikawa!
