Incredible, just filled with authenticity and a breeze of energy amongst 1000s of boring tourist spots videos. Live deep!

fascinating & very revealing episode to understand Tokyo as an urban marvel and how its inhabitants use it. Thanks Mikael

I'm only a quarter in and to my delight you showed me thing's a lot of modern day jvloggers dont show; the dual use park/evacuation center and the elderly concierge showed something I've never seen before. Thanks for sharing!

loved the focus on how Tokyo's urbanism is great sort of _despite_ central planning

"Shops and restaurants are usually open 24 hours a day." Uh, no they're not. Most restaurants and shops keep normal business hours--heck, the department stores don't even open until 11 a.m. in many cases. A few chain restaurants (beef bowl places, the so-called "family restaurant" coffee shops) are open around the clock. More surprisingly, the massive network of subways and trains mostly stop running by midnight--ostensibly one reason those networks run so well and are kept so clean.

24 hour city sounds more like Seoul or HK - in Tokyo, a lot of shops close early

Was waiting for this episode! But just arrived in Copenhagen so it needs to wait a little longer.

It's great to see how Tokyo got to where it was.

But saying "Tokyo has a population of 38 million" together with a map of Tokyo (Tokyo Metropolis) is really misleading if not misinforming. 38 million is the population of Greater Tokyo Area, which includes six more prefectures in addition to Tokyo. Tokyo itself, the area shown in the map, has no more than 12.5 million people living in it.

@richardbaker2701 6 ай бұрын

Yes but they are all one big connected urban mass. The somewhat arbitrary line of where the prefecture of Tokyo begins and ends ignores the gargantuan scale of the metro area as a whole

How to make a doco about some foreign city: 1) mispronounce the city name

@hjalte6726 6 ай бұрын

That's how it's pronounced in Danish. So I'm guessing that's why

@LifeSizedCity 5 ай бұрын

Ah, yes... monolingual North Americans and opinions on pronunciation. I used the general European pronunciation - which is not far off the Japanese. None of which are To - kee - yo, which sounds stupid.

The video quality is horrible. Did you guys film it with a VHS camera? How is it possible to film video of such quality in the 21st century?

@LifeSizedCity 5 ай бұрын

HAha. It was filmed in 4k. These YT versions are lower res. Go watch it on TVO.

Everything in Japan have a reason for being, when I was there I saw things that didn't make sense TO ME but once I asked why? They always had a logical explanation that I had never thought of. We have the habit of judging without first knowing and asking. This is Japan, a country that on the outside doesn't make much sense but on the inside it works and has always a purpose.

You needed subtitles for Tatsuya?? 🧐 Why not for Byron? His accented English was just as easy/hard to understand 🤨

it's distracting that you keep mispronouncing it "Tuh-kyo."

@LifeSizedCity 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, I don't pronounce it in the flawed North American way. Sorry, not sorry. :-)

@rhenning 6 ай бұрын

38 million people are NOT the residents of the CITY of Tokyô (23-ku 23区), it is the population of the PREFECTURE Tôkyô (Tôkyô-to 東京都)!

First few times in Japan I could not stand Tokyo, could never get a handle on it. Then I was advised by a few of my Japanese relatives to only consider Tokyo to be just what is with in the Yamanote, and what you could comfortably walk to from the Yamanote stations... everything else is just other cities that happen to border on Tokyo - and administrative wise this is not far from the truth even though that "personal map" of Tokyo doesn't line up with the official borders. Since working on that theory I learnt to love the city

I like this, but more about the story and less about the host would be better. Voiceover only would suffice.

@LifeSizedCity 5 ай бұрын

Oh sure, we'll just reshoot four seasons of broadcast television then. Because one person prefers voiceover. We'll get right on that.

Place de la République was totally ruined by corrupt mayor Hidalgo, she cut all trees and now it looks like a square from 70s somewhere in Soviet Union. The lack of trees on this square makes it unbearable to be there.
