I shot some video from the Carrot Tower, which is next to my apartment in Sangenjaya. I thought it would be fun to play around with making a tilt-shift video, since there was a cool view of the Setagaya Line.

I made a quick little piece of super-80s music to go with it, but it’s just a quick sketch. I just wanted to see how it would look before I spent too much time going crazy on it. Maybe I’ll try this idea again later.

Here’s some video of the train we took to Hakone last weekend. I really love the way the seats automatically change directions at the end of the line. The music is something that I made a few months ago that was looking for a home.

Here is some video I shot while walking around my neighborhood (Sangenjaya) and then in Harajuku.

Okay, this video keeps playing on the trains here. It was weird enough that I pulled out my iPhone and waited for it to come on again, so I could share it with you.

This little girl is super-creepy, but you have to give her props for her coordination skillz.

I’ve been reading this incredible book and just found out that the author gave this interview on The Daily Show.

The book is called:  Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in journalism, cops, yakuza, Japan or good books.

I’ve recently been watching this Japanese soap opera, called “We Love Quintuplets” - 大好き!五つ子

They are showing 10 year-old episodes on an American TV station, and I’m actually kind of hooked on the show. It seems to be targeted at people who like Full House, but wish that it were more melodramatic.

But the show’s best feature has to be this ridiculous theme song and intro, which I actually went through the trouble of video taping off of my TV… you’re welcomed.
