4K・ 【4K】Night videowalk around Ikebukuro station, Tokyo

[@duartemarco]

It's like travelling without leaving the house

[@garydunn5797]

Early turn or the century filmmakers from the early 1900's documented what was thought of at the time as being mundane when they filmed everyday average street life of New York City and San Francisco. Now those films are very cherished pieces of history that show a society that no longer exists and historians will always study. You're doing great work!

[@saulf3365]

Agreed I love what you are doing. I get lost in watching these. Its almost better than any meditation I could find. Couple it with an ambient relaxation music I dare you

[@前川次郎-v9e]

I also agree with you. I'm a Japanese man who was born in Tokyo, 1951. MichaelRogge, a German publisher that uploaded "Everyday life in bygone days in Tokyo, 1966 昭和東京," has attracted over 5,400,000 views so far.

[@teksal13]

@@saulf3365 I do that quite often.

[@largesmallworld]

Thanks for the Durarara tour.

[@fandechobits]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@SuperHeavyImpact]

wooooow I thought the same

[@largesmallworld]

Guess what, I visited in oct/nov 2019 & took comparison photos matching scenes from the anime. Damn it was fun.

[@dr.nighasmhertz544]

Your so lucky I wish I could visit there

[@TheHitchboy]

I love Tokyo streets. It's just much more cozy feeling than in America where everything is separated by large streets. I love the tight little areas with people just hanging out. Seems like so much fun.

[@teksal13]

If you had small streets with bars on either side here in Texas, there would be constant trouble.

[@incyphe]

You are capturing history. I think these footage will be so valuable in future. Can you imagine people 200-300 years from now watching these same digital video footage in 4k without any loss of quality? I don't think video quality will get significantly get higher. Thanks always again for these wonderful videos and sharing them with the world.

[@aurahalo9]

They are releasing 8k now, with 12K in development.

[@philw9436]

yes, I agree ..

[@andreavila9894]

bikes without padlocks - INIMAGINABLE in a capital of Brazil, like Brasilia, my city...

[@stonecat676]

Video quality can get better, but our eyes most likely won't. So augmented vision enhancer gotta come first, then 12k, whatever that looks like.

[@Xezlec]

360-degree stereoscopic VR videos are the wave of the future. The Olympics are available now in VR, for example.

[@yeahrightbear8883]

It's so crazy to think that every single person in this video has their own unique story. Like that are just out living their lives they have things going on that we have no idea about and all we see is a glimpse of their life as we pass them by in the street.

[@jamskaterpete]

I always think this way. Every single person has been born, has their childhood stories and adventure stories. Sad and happy stories and it’s so easy for us to forget that. They all have struggles, dreams, goals and we simply just see them as background characters to our own main story of our lives. It’s crazy to think that if you knew the language you could talk to strangers and I’m sure you’d hear some VERY interesting stories from some of these individuals.

[@KuroKotori87]

Perfect for quarantine. I’ve always wanted to take a trip to Japan, but with what’s been going on, I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Thank goodness i found this channel. I may not be there in person, but it’s still nice to be able to “walk around”

[@dr.nighasmhertz544]

Nice profile pic

[@izamiyabi]

I see, I'm not the only one who came here because of Durarara, what made Ikebukuro so magical lol. But for real, seeing this video for example actually feels like walking by yourself through the city, I love that so much! I've never been in Japan sadly, but it's my biggest dream to be in Ikebukuro once and experienece this atmosphere in reality. Thank you so much for capturing this simple, but great walk through the city.

[@runner399]

One can walk around Tokyo for hours and hours and never get bored. Love these videos.

[@catsandstuff29]

The streets are SO clean.

[@TkyoSam]

That's my roommate Tetsu at 29:30 !!!! lol. That was awesome! One of my subscribers sent me a message and was like "Is that Tetsu??" lol. Good channel man, just subbed! keep it up!!

16:05 16:10

[@ccassette]

This part in 16:10 looks strangely familar to me although I've never been to Tokyo, hell I've never went to Japan (planning to do so soon)

[@anindyadey9223]

I expected someone screaming Izzaaya-kun

[@emericanpie]

Watching your vids has convinced me to take a trip to Japan.

[@Rambalac]

Just be ready to walk a lot :)

[@emericanpie]

Rambalac I love to walk and wander.

[@johnprudent3216]

I love places where you can walk around a night like this. Beautiful city. Thank you for the tour.

[@Trace7173]

I went to a live house in Ikebukuro last year to see a show but I left right after and went back to Shinjuku. I had no idea all this amazing nightlife existed! Next trip to Japan I'm definitely spending more time there. Incredible videos on this channel!. It's the next best thing to being there!

[@travgpeters1]

this was my home for 21 days in tokyo in october .. watching this video makes me happy ... i miss Ikebukuro

[@theST1NG]

I spent 2 weeks there last May, and I feel exactly same way. I almost feel homesick watching this video. Lol

[@krzi-o5619]

I felt like I’m playing Yakuza video game , I keep waiting for the street gangs to stop and want to fight , LOL. Awesome video. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@johnmarshallyt]

49:19 looks like a game with 3rd person camera view

[@jstudios1946]

That means you watched this for at least 50 minutes straight to see that detail :)

[@danielhueg769]

Thank you for this. I was supposed to go for language immersion and study over the spring/summer but it got pushed off to next year due to COVID. This really made my heart a bit lighter. Thank you for letting me live through you! 🤗

[@Spellll]

I spent 2 weeks living near that station in 2015. Awesome area to explore. This vid brings back great memories. Thank you.

[@erazor1971]

thanks rambalac ... for every little detail ... it's like being there in person with you on your walks

[@lalilulelo]

Nostalgic! I visited Tokyo last November and the apartment I stayed at is in Ikebukuro! I walked on at least half of the streets in this video.

[@hjkimkk]

涙が出るほど本当に懐かしいです。いい動画ありがとうございました！

[@MarkPuke13]

thank you. this was such a great video...made me.miss and learn more.about IKB...I'll be there.in a few weeks..thanks.

[@neonstrobe354]

I love watching these videos, they make me feel like I’m in Japan again. Even though that was back in 2012.. Man, I wish I could go back!

[@Jhvxgir]

my first stay in Japan was back in 2007, and I've stayed many times in a minshuku near Ikebukuro West Gate, just right next to Marui shop. Good memories Min 8:10

[@MJ-zd7yw]

Great video. The main shopping area around the station is really around Sunshine City which you covered at the end.

[@MisakaMikotoLuv]

why am i torturing myself watching these, just feels like i need to go back

[@lucyho4731]

Night view shopping is so vibrant and lively.Alleyway many cool izakaya for catch up chatting.Wide boulevard of shops is like shoppers heaven paradise.Loved the night view scenery,is very cool.😍😋😘😉Thank You Rambalac!!!

[@apophisstr6719]

We settled in a hotel of Ikebukuro the first time my family traveled to Japan on our own. Despite being at the center of Tokyo alongside places like Shinjuku and Shibuya, our impression is that it was relatively calm in comparison, strolling through the street at night like this video was very enjoyable.

[@johnny14794]

I tried watching this on my VR Headset and wow I almost felt as if I was right there walking around type experience! Thank you again for sharing! Blessings.

[@robsonrodrigues618]

Tokyo sempre muito linda! Eu estou cada dia mais apaixonado por essa cidade, thank you por tudo Parabéns !

[@sassywilliams7309]

THANK YOU O MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL EVENING STROLL! MANY BESINGS!

[@klausmuhlhoff1464]

I love your videos , I use them to make my treadmill walks enjoyable . Thank You

[@Origine25]

8:34 omg if you just crossed the street on the right of the tairiku pachinko shop, and then went left and right, it wouldve been my hostel's street !!! :o I recognized it even though it's been 3 years !!!

[@HamzaAnsari1425]

1:48 - so he just stepped over the railing. That honestly felt like clipping through objects in a video game, haha. The immersion did not break at all!

[@hoobaguy]

There's a crosswalk there. I think he was just holding the camera where it looked like it went over the rail.

[@robertosinger5727]

What a perfect world - real crowds walking past one another, without fear of harm or infection. I can't wait for the world to resemble this again. I'd love to go for a walk without my mask on...

[@FlankerX]

Ikebukuro! Love that place, so much good food and shops packed neatly into sunshine dori!

[@Origine25]

I went to tokyo 3 years ago with the university for 1 week. We were in a guest house in Ikebukuro. Just watching the first 30 seconds of you video made me really nostalgic and want to go back to Tokyo. There's something in the light and architecture in Japan that is just so soothing, it feels like the sun is different than in France, my country. Well... Obviously we don't see the sunlight in this specific video but still... I remember the feeling of the sun light in Japan.

[@Origine25]

Around 00:45 I was thinking "I remember seeing 2 owls around here... Am I mistaken ?" and then, 00:56 arrives and we can see the owls on the left peaking from the construction site (? is it construction stuff ? not sure)... Aaaaah I want to go back so bad !!!!

[@cps6497]

Thanks for walking (virtually) with you !

[@hancholo6634]

I just stayed in ikebukero for 4 nights and I took this exact walk many times to get some snacks or to head into the metro and all sorts in between. Now I'm watching this in sadness because I'm back home and I wanna go back so badly.

[@neelixleefurball]

I love seeing unexpected things lol. A freggin 4 door Jeep wrangler? in Japan?! They actually make them right hand drive?!?

[@charitolazaro74]

Love Ikeburuko, stayed there for 9 days! Loved it.

[@edwinliu461]

It is amamzing to have a fantasy night tour in Tokyo without leaving home .

[@MissUDemon]

43:52 I was so surprised to hear that song, I couldn't play that in public lol.

[@donm1612]

Nice to see the good old days when people walked around outside without looking like a nurse.

[@spionsilver9626]

now THIS is exactly how i remember my ikebukuro

[@Chris-fq1xb]

reminds me of the nights stayin in Ikebukuro !!! really nice walk bro!!

[@romkabeton1896]

Будет на что залипнуть на час)

[@WonderlandUnited]

Thank you so much for this awesome video! I am currently studying Japanese (just because...) and I am looking forward visiting one day. This was very captivating and immersive. I felt like I can travel through space and visit Japan right now. Domo arigato gozaimasu!

[@yellowmonkeywrld5225]

Your Japanese is good tho . I hope u success

[@ProfessorSnape22]

So beautiful your the only guy i know to do this with such anazing quality..no talking no music in ur vids , just amazing streams and u go into depth into places..have u walked inside stores or houses?

[@Rambalac]

There are few other, I have links on my channel page.

[@garydunn5797]

Hundreds of times, I keep falling in love over and over again each time a pretty girl walks by. Everyone is so beautiful!

[@teksal13]

Don't know what you're falling into, but it ain't love.

[@vhsmemories504]

Its so clean there! I'm so jealous everybody gets to walk around on clean streets

[@ifightbears7609]

I dont know why but this makes me emotional

[@therealborischang]

So many nice walking streets. In many cities it is hard to find any streets for just pedestrians. Why must cars and scooters be allowed everywhere?

[@Rambalac]

Actually cars are allowed there, just no reason to go.

[@stonecat676]

You spoke my mind. One thing that stands out for me in all japanese media is, despite their modern advancements, people still walk a LOT. And I LOVE that. I'd love to walk more, but the places where I live are built too far apart for walking distances.

[@loft4me]

The capability of a DSLR in holding true the colors under artificial lighting is spectacular, as seen in 3:15 .With lesser equipment, the whole scene is usually washed out into the warm spectrum colors of yellow. I don't see that at all, here.

[@eusiahcruz9340]

SHIZU-CHAAAAAAAN!!!

[@fandechobits]

Izayaaa!!!!!

[@dead_engineer]

Great video, i really miss going out. Until now, i wasn't in Japan but would love to. Maybe at some point in the future

[@04ha019c]

昔バイトしてた店がまだある…懐かしい。

[@TheTishbite]

Enjoyed this. Not sure I had seen it before. Thanks.

[@NyalaDescoudres]

This was filmed two months after I left Ikebukuro, I am so happy to have come across this video today

[@fernicusmaximus9282]

I wish I lived in Japan......you guys have discipline, honor, and respect.

[@christophermorrisiscool]

Wow this makes me miss the beautiful city of tokyo even more in a time like this );

[@wawarushii]

And I sit here. Have to watch it in 480p :D actually it still looks good ..

[@paulholbach3716]

Oh. I missed that walk out for five years. 🤔Finally watched it.

[@zeldera]

I miss it. Just walking around Japan was an experience in itself

[@mixstlh]

Izaaaaaaayyyyyaaaaaaaaaaa

[@madikennedy79]

Looks so clean and safe

[@Mugicol45]

I love put this kind of videos on my tv while Im working.

[@spionsilver9626]

i love the silent and calm backstreets of ikebukuro you have your 24h shops your strip clubs your restaurants, shrines, gardens and bars all in 5 minutes walking distance .. and after about 2 days you know everybody in your street .. it dont look that welcoming but the people are really great there

[@blondbondboy91355]

Great to watch during COVID. Feels like I’m getting out

[@pa5287]

really good

[@DeltaBingus]

This channel is amazing! This place looks like Neon District, Roblox

[@tarabakani007]

西口は30年程前に暮らしていました。ロサ会館とかパチンコ安田とか新しく建て替えられたビルが殆どですが、昔の面影が残っていてとても懐かしいです。ありがとうございました。

[@rhodesia1980]

I must say great quality of video you are doing when watching this on a 72 inch screen you feel you are right there I lived in Japan for 6 years mostly up by Mt. Fuji area So I have to ask what kind of Video Camera do you use? I'm sure it's not a GoPro system. Thanks for the work you are doing I'm trying to watch all of these I must say when you get a chance watch these on a 72 inch screen.

[@jimpanse5375]

Wow this is so mesmerizing

Excellent idea! what time of the day isi it? And is your camera on a gimbal? placed on your shoulder maybe?

[@JesusLover800]

The streets are so clean. I'd love more places like this in USA but the streets would basically immediately get trashed.

[@abp1400]

Anyone a fan of the early 00s Japanese drama IWGP? It was based in Ikebukuro (hence the name Ikebukuro West Gate Park).
