this video makes me miss home man i lived in japan 9 bloody years now im stuck in uni back in the UK..... thanks for showing me home again mate great upload
One of the best experiences of my life. What you don't see in the video is the multiple levels of clubs, stores and restaraunts 5 floors above and 2 below street level. Then there's the tight alley ways packed full of the same. My fav are the tiny bars that you have to duck your head to get inside. I've been home a week and I already miss it.
i've lived in japan since i finished my junior education, that's about ten years although i live in Osaka of Kansai, but i do have a strong impression of shibuya in tokyo, endless wave of pedestrain, togther with the stream of countless vehicles and the man made sunlight fromed by numerous neon and digisinage that's why shibuya of today fright me, i never ever seeing shibuya so dim( but still many people),
Just came back from Tokyo. It's funny because this crossing looks so chaotic but you won't find a more disciplined and orderly city than Tokyo. That's a dream city with a dream people. I love Japanese culture!!
i know the coffee shop you are talking about. i was there just the other day. you are right, it is so beautiful and cant be explained through words. thanks for your comment! you should come back to japan to visit!
in tokyo, its quite easy to get around without knowing any japanese at all as many people speak basic english. train staff in particular are also very helpful and usually will be able to communicate in english. signs and directions in train stations are in japanese, english, korean and chinese in most major cities in japan.
amazing video. I love mega cities, like New York City, London, Paris, Sao Paulo and off course Tokyo. This video give you a awesome impresion of Tokyo.
i had to smoke a cigarette to stand your video... it's so hard for me to be beack in germany... Shibuya is just GREAT. i used to sit in the starbucks coffee house and just watch the crowd... oh god it touched me so hard...i nearly cried. :( AWESOME
Actually, Toukyou is only 12 million people. The whole Kantou region is 32 million. That region, for a comparison, is about the size of the "Lower Mainland" of British Columbia. BC is about 2 or 3 times the size of the entire country of Japan which is home to just over 127 million people. And that intersection, while busy and crazy, does not feel as dense as it looks. People just... flow. I walked across that intersection nearly every day for 7 months for work ^_^
the current song is homeless club kids (Alexander Perls remix) by My Favourite --- but the first song i had - was *girls* by death in vegas... off of the Lost in translation soundtrack... but youtube blocked the song cuz of copyright... thanks for the comments!
thanks senz for the comments! being american and having been to tokyo but not new york... seems like a sin... i love megacities as well! tokyo is such fun!
It looks like a lovely and very exciting city, 'd like to be there some days too. By the way, what is the name of the song? Greetings from Mexico City!
Was it easy to get around without knowing much Japanese (unless you speak well then never mind :p) I am staying at Shibuya Cozy Inn in May for a few days then taking a train to Himeji Another question if I may, how easy is it to catch trains and understand where and when you are going?
LOL Looks like there are more people traffic then cars :) Looks real cool I want to visit, and I love how every one just takes care of there city not like here in the states where people trash it. I mean here is a city with millions of people in it and they can manage to keep it cleaner then a city with like Detroit with 800,000 some people.
actually it used to be death in vegas- girls.. but it was removed cuz of copyright... so now the song is homeless club kids (Alexander Perls remix) by My Favourite
You most definitely should, I have been there 5 times, each in different areas and I'm still amazed and want to go back. However, their economy is really choking right now, so I wouldn't suggest living there.~
i think that thts actually a good thing cause it teaches u how 2 hav control at an early age and u wont go achohal crazy like we do in america wen we come of age
i can't remember where i heard this, but i remember someone saying that "Shibuya lights are like Times Square lights on crack" with all the pretty colors :D i want to go there waahhh. (I feel like i'm missing out lol)
Tokyo isn't cheap by any means but it isn't that bad either. These price lists are based on US dollars and use NYC as the benchmark. Consider that. To get to your question... Survival Japanese is fairly easy. The grammar isn't too bad and most sounds in Japanese exist in English. It's only when you want to become truly fluent that it gets extremely difficult. Hope this helps.
@lance15d Thanks! Too bad a used copy of the album "Happiest Days of Our Lives" goes for so much. If the rest of the CD sounds like this, I'll be happy then!
i remember going there and i was like "holy crap so many people" , id love to go back to tokyo again and the tram system they have there is sawesome, i remember going to these like underground market places with all this good food omg i keep talking about it lol i jus wanna go back
I actually spend my exchange year in Osaka, prefecutre because of that i really like Osaka, Namba, SHinsaibashi really much, but tomorrow i am going to tokyo for 2 days, but i think I will still like Osaka, Namba the best.
i went to towa records mishitia underpass mishitia park amx molco street cat street statue of hachico shibuya river you name all those streets and places

I miss living in Japan so much. This video, however amature it is, really captures the intensity of the world's largest metorpolis.

This is nostalgic, I wish I could have gone to Japan back then. I went in 2011 and 2018 and Shibuya crossing pretty much looks the same haha
amazing video. I love mega cities, like New York City, London, Paris, Sao Paulo and off course Tokyo. This video give you a awesome impresion of Tokyo.
i had to smoke a cigarette to stand your video... it's so hard for me to be beack in germany... Shibuya is just GREAT. i used to sit in the starbucks coffee house and just watch the crowd... oh god it touched me so hard...i nearly cried. :(
AWESOME
Wow, looks so amazing! I guess it's an awesome feeling to be there...

the current song is homeless club kids (Alexander Perls remix) by My Favourite --- but the first song i had - was *girls* by death in vegas... off of the Lost in translation soundtrack... but youtube blocked the song cuz of copyright...

Greetings from Mexico City!

Was it easy to get around without knowing much Japanese (unless you speak well then never mind :p)
I am staying at Shibuya Cozy Inn in May for a few days then taking a train to Himeji
Another question if I may, how easy is it to catch trains and understand where and when you are going?
Wow! Chicago only has that many people in the streets if we have some kind of festival but that is just a normal Tuesday there.
sooo many people and still feel all alone... love tokyo though
OK, so this music is not "Girls" by Death in Vegas. I have that song on the Lost in Translation soundtrack. What song is this, and who is it by?
LOL Looks like there are more people traffic then cars :) Looks real cool I want to visit, and I love how every one just takes care of there city not like here in the states where people trash it.

oh my god, it's a cool city.
Who knows the song's name ? i like it.
The ultimate urban experience. Tokyo is megacity
I'll guess i'll see when i get there this fall buddy!!!!!!!
reason why cities are cool give you 0.2 % chance more to find someone cool .
i dont know real why i come from resident evil to there
the most stylish people on earth...
looks like the city of the future..very badass
Haha. I looooove Japan, but Shibuya was a bit much for me. I'm just not a fan of areas like that. Tokyo is a great city, though.
Actually, Tokyo is trashed just the same, you just can't see it from this video....have lived here for 10 years.
you can see a similar intersection in London now acording to today's yahoo Japan news.
street musicians in Jpn usually dont play for money. even homeless dont collect money in Jpn. good players can sell their CD though.
whoa soooo many people O_O so cool
My City
My life
Perfect City
Fato
I actually spend my exchange year in Osaka, prefecutre because of that i really like Osaka, Namba, SHinsaibashi really much, but tomorrow i am going to tokyo for 2 days, but i think I will still like Osaka, Namba the best.
no that's 30 million people look it up its the most populated city in the world.
@stevethefishdotnet awesome song... Homeless Club Kids - Alexander Perls remix.
i went to towa records mishitia underpass mishitia park amx molco street cat street statue of hachico shibuya river you name all those streets and places
Tokyo has a higher population than all of Canada.
@mrpepperoriginal
You can get some tickets for 660 euros or less.
Yes, yes, yes, all very interesting but more to the point, what are the GIRLS like!
Looks somewhat like Manhattan and Vegas put together I guess xD
really liked, wanna travel
But it is difficult to make a place for him.
I think the human connection it very sparse.
This Video looks just now but it's already in 2006, look at Shibuya now.....

Yeah trance!
Tokyo natsukashiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
i wanna come back to tokyo... sigh...
