    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: So it's 5:37am and I feel absolutely shattered; I wanted to make a special effort editing this video as I wanted to do Fukuoka justice and thus I've not stopped editing the last few days. That being said, I'm really happy with how it turned out - it's easily some of the best cinematography on Journey Across Japan so far. IF YOU'VE been to Ichiran, share your reviews with us all below and if you want to make me smile when I wake up tomorrow afternoon, please hit the like button! It makes all these crazy early morning editing sessions worth while to see you guys have enjoyed the video! :D
