Tokyo 8K Walk through Asakusa - Crowds on the Weekend

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Make sure to turn REMINDER ON - I wonder if anyone will be able to tell the difference with 8K. It was filmed with the SONY a1 camera, CInetone color profile, WIDE light-weight 18mm Samyang f/2.8 on a RONIN SC gimbal, RODE Wireless GO ii mics. The Samyang lens is only 145g for Full frame and looks great. I'll try the next 8K video with a 35mm SONY GM lens.

[@rainerlovesjapan9468]

I keep hearing Samyang Lens. Seems popular and good quality👍🏻

[@KIeeew]

sorry to say that but 8k with Samyang len is a waste.

[@camovecmin4968]

John this new video resolution is damn freaking cool man. I open this on my 8K TV, me and my family feels like we were there. The lens is magnifecnt too. We can see much more with the wide lens. The cons are only the huge file size, upload time and the processing time. Othern than that the video is cool man. Can't wait for more 8K reso.

[@kokoroouji]

The 8k is really nice, but the sound quality is not on the same level. It confuses my brain.

[@overthecrest5722]

It seems dark John, just feedback, still love the videos, I believe your future is more in the documentaries, yes more travel and initial expense, but displaying different crafts etc, you do it well.

[@NancyGrant17]

OMGoodness This one felt so real. The clarity, the depth, the color and yes even the shadows made it feel so live. So exciting, I loved it.

[@stevencvetan9969]

Love the walk through in 8k! The sharpness and detail in the video really makes you feel like you are there!

[@BUBBABLACKMEAT]

I LOVE THIS FORMAT SO MUCH MORE, please keep doing video's like this instead of live KZbin streams, the quality is so much better and we get your amazing insider knowlage that only you can give, please keep this up as the livestreams always used to drop in video quality to just unwatchable levels...THIS IS SOO MUCH BETTER!!!

[@brettb8266]

The pictures are so clear,I can really see the detail in every part of your stream.

[@graceho7845]

8k makes a huge different. Not that I don’t like the live stream, but this kind of content is also nice to have.

[@sabbys7750]

The 8k was AMAZING!!! I loved it!! Thank you so much for sharing your love of Japan with us.

[@tommykay7427]

Simply amazing! John Daub bringing live stream to another level! We are eating it up.

[@silencio00]

I really like this 8K videos even if they are not live. It helps to appreciate better the beauty of Japan. More videos like this would be great without leaving the live ones because is fun the interaction with the chat. Thank you John!

[@jephestrada6076]

Wow! Love the 8k walk through. More of these please, John.

[@hihosilverlining9081]

It is my holidays all over again. A feast of recognition!

[@zenithrah6670]

Cool vid John.. Please make more of these 😄

[@MyVinylRevolution]

You've absolutely saved our lives with your live streams John ! Thank you !

[@bobjoe7508]

Awesome video, John. Keep up the good work!

[@nicholascrosbie4265]

Loved the 8k John!! Just showed the beauty of Tokyo even more.

[@iphonedjoey]

I watched this after tea. The difference is amazing I was watching on my 65"TV and I felt as if I was walking with you Jon. Awesome to see this and the buzz around you.

[@MikeCatrone]

Loving the new quality, John! Great stuff!

[@JimMendenhall]

It's so nice to see something better than 720p!

[@TornacenseDeFuturo]

I never like live streams because of the quality. It’s unbelievable to see this quality. WOW. So sharp! Thank you for sharing :)

[@victorpineda7519]

Im so glad, the place is vibrant again.

[@yeeehaar]

Really liked this, the quality just added to the enjoyment.

[@larrywong300]

4K video accompanied by your informative narration is second to none. I look forward to similar narrated videos in areas throughout Japan. Thank you!

[@DavidJ2625]

Stunning on my big TV, such good quality. Good work, looking forward to more videos like this.

[@yossy7731]

Asakusa is one of my favourite places, so I really enjoyed your video. I haven't chance to go back to Japan for ages, so I felt very nostalgic🗼 Thank you📷

[@VVeeVVeeV]

Loving the super crispy video John but noticed some audio clipping in this video at certain points. I'm definitely enjoying this format. The massive leap in picture quality lets you really soak up the atmosphere. Great work!

[@CapitalSharkAttack]

So crisp and clear! Amazing to see such detail.

[@Whatmobiledeal]

Finally. We can see you and Japan in glorious 8K! Well done John 🥳

[@mozasumoon3273]

Amazing quality! Enjoyed this very much

[@lucketa5]

its so nice to see the crowds back.

[@dolan-duk]

I like this style of video. Quicker to produce compared to the main channel videos yet not as distracting as the regular Go videos with the live chat (that I'm personally not a fan of). 8K might be overkill but it is probably good as archival/B-roll type of things since you can "zoom in" on stuff in post production. Lens seems nice, the angle makes me feel like I'm walking down the street myself.

[@lordtucor8309]

Nice and crispy , so good to see the city come alive again, seems people are enjoying it fully. Please do 8k everytime John

[@carinemissous7921]

My favourite neighbourhood. I will not be able to watch it live, but I know it will be great. Thanks John.

[@madzskillzgamerzmweil]

Congratulations 🎉 for your 8k it's always nice to see your video I never been no where in Tokyo 🗼 so you bring it to me so I see it and enjoyed it thanks 😊

[@risby2]

I love you walking through the neighborhoods

[@stevenswann2835]

Love the new 8k vision. A huge improvement. Makes me feel like I'm actually there. Also the shorter length video. I think ~30mins is a good length for many of us who don't want, or can't watch the longer 60min+ videos.

[@yewcheongtang2382]

You'll know its too good and real when you start having a bit of motion sickness while watching.

[@drfawad]

I need to watch this on my TV. My eyeballs are so happy

[@502Aviation]

John, the video quality is GREAT throughout the entire video. Not once did the quality deteriorate or cut out. The 720p that cuts out or drops in video quality when you lose signal has made some videos in the past difficult to watch. This video clear and sharp all the way through! On the subject of Asakusa, I'm gonna make it a point to visit Nakamise-dori on my next trip. I want to see this and Sensoji Temple while the shops are still "mom and pop" shops, before they are replaced with larger chain companies. Also, I would like to say that I appreciate that you are bringing Japan to those who can't come during the pandemic and travel bans. However, no video can quite take the place of experiencing Japan in person. I have been to Japan twice in the past 10 years, and the feelings you experience while there just can't be captured in a video. In fact the video just makes me want to go back even MORE!

[@biancajune8963]

Woaaah. This 8k thing has a very different feel. It's awesome.

[@Batts70M]

John, love the crisp, clear 8k streaming! It actually feels as though I am back in Japan again!! Bring us more 8k, please! ⛩🎬😎✌

[@willyngke]

It so crips and clear details of Asakusa, my last visit were back in 2019 , missed Japan so much... down side shoot on 8k are if there a smudge / dust on lens u able to see it too 😅 on 6:23

[@SanthoshMaruthi]

John, another super live stream, its nice to see Nakamise dori back to life .

[@RobbC.]

Awesome to see so many people packing the shops and spending money on local goods. Can't wait to get back over there and join them. Great vid JD.

[@Anfernee_G]

Watching in 1440p and it looks so good! Can't imagine watching in 4K or 8K!

[@johnny14794]

Video resolution was at another level! Finally we are able to see stuff in 4K+4K=8K lol Stay safe and blessings to you, Kanae and Leo.

[@moeb6170]

Thanks for the tour the video quality was outstanding. I was looking for the spec of dust couldn’t see it. Finally live streams again! 😊

[@Sam-UraiX]

Genuinely felt like i was back in Japan. Camera quality was outstanding!

[@Islandgirl4ever2]

I can still remember walking these streets as THOUGH it was only yesterday.. Hard to believe it ha been two years already since our last visit to Japan.. Watching your livestreams feels like I'm still walking in the streets of Japan.. I miss it SOOOO SOOO MUCH. Thank you for providing us with this great stroll.. Hope to be back again as soon as it's safe and open to foreign tourists.

[@ShereeR99]

It is incredibly clear. Really feels like you were there :)

[@TeresaDavis-uk7su]

Oh you really are an excellent ambassador to Japan for the western world! Absolutely! Seeing Japan in 8K..makes you want to go there all the more! You make Japan look doable and fun! Its truly a special place..and you bring that aspect out in your filming.. Cant wait to see the cherry blossoms in 8K! All that will be missing is the scent! Film on! :-)

[@LXW89]

Very much enjoyed this tour John, it's way more lively and immersive In higher definition.

[@hardymichael533]

4K on KZbin video amazing

[@xray8966]

Omg this looks so good never go back to 720. It's just as we are walking with you irl. 👍☀

[@viaesta]

Blessings to you thank you.

[@mr.horseshoe2301]

Loved it! The brightness is a bit dim compared to other 4K videos, though.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

The lighting wasn’t ideal, sun at an angle - we’ll see how the next one improves :)

[@tomithot261]

New to KZbin, since Covid. Jumped around trying to find you ... love the edited pieces you did during the Olympics, keeping us in the loop. Your travel stuff is informative .... good work. Want to return to Japan and you are a good source. Livestream is a little to random for me ... I like walking with you and learning about what we are3 seeing. Plan to return to Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto ... want to visit Okinawa, Yokahama and Osaka. Show me more, you never know what might be added. Love seeing Leo!

[@sunny_sunshine0411]

I have had a lot of memories in Asakusa. Visited this place every time when I was in Japan. Thank you John for the video, it brings back the good time. And the playback 8k is awesome!!!

[@Hello_katsu]

Cool walking video! I'll be visiting this place soon! 😊

[@Indorm]

Love love that place.

[@richardmoo]

Only a 4k screen here but looks absolutely fantastic! Look forward to more :)

[@mumfordalien1794]

My TV can only do 4K but it still looked VERY good. The picture quality seems to be more “crisp” than most of the stuff I see on KZbin Nice work, always fun to travel from my couch 😂

[@theRogels]

Amazing details in 8K.

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha John! Wow so much clearer! Very beautiful picture! Thank you!

[@Chiapaneco]

Wow! I’m proud to say I’ve been a follower back since the gh5 days

[@bobbicatton]

The 8k is stunning quality!👍

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job John.

[@Jersey-T]

The video is so clear, it's almost like being there next to you... Thanks for sharing. 😎

[@davidbkk171]

Awesome video John

[@gan757]

Awesome video John 👍

[@michaelsasano8622]

Loved it! The quality was wonderful. I'll rewatch this again and compare to the 8K version.

[@NYCSamlifeabroad]

「こんにちは John San this was such a great video sugoi , I’m sitting here practicing my Japanese and this video just motivated me keep going John ,mate your right on track. Great you bumped into another native New Yorker , Cheers from a native New Yorker living Down Under. Cheers Sam

[@zenboy863]

Increadible image quality. Thank you. You must have missed the riot footage from Australia, I dont think their competing for tourists at the moment.

[@aberazak5020]

hooray... finally John in 8K..

[@Cath789]

Still hoping we will be able to travel to Japan next summer.

[@BonzyLad]

That's great. It would be so beautiful and cinematic if you could do a 8k in the afternoon, right before sunset 🌇💕

[@soggymoggytravels]

The video quality is awesome!

[@stan6cv]

I liked the 8K quality. Hope you can show some of the food next time you're in that neighborhood!

[@jtl789456123]

This is how livestream should look like

[@Trid3nt_]

that lens needs a polarizing filter, so you can cut out the glare from windows

[@that1cameraguy]

Looks good. did you have Auto-ISO on ? I noticed the brightness adjust a bit.

[@gewglesux]

I think you're right.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I have to keep shutter speed on 100 so it may have been auto ISO or aperture. If it’s not 100, the flicker is very annoying.

[@gewglesux]

@@onlyinjapanGO It Can be plenty annoying.. this is true!! great Content!!

[@Suede224]

cant wait to watch this one!!!

[@christianhansen3292]

cool temple John thanks for the stream.

[@martinthompson4266]

Better quality nice to see your happy face stay safe take care .

[@superspeed1557]

Can't wait. Asakusa is amazing!

[@shlby69m]

Great rez, feels like a video game- I keep looking for power up points. Beautiful look at the Shrine!

[@michaelsasano8622]

I'm ready for 8K awesomeness! :)

[@TeresaDavis-uk7su]

John! That looks AMAZING! Wow! Great job.. It looks like you're right there..Really appreciate the experience! Thank you! :-)

[@DNG84]

Woohoo HD walk

[@franco3584]

hey John , The Footage is Awesome.

[@albertguasch5277]

We watch on a 70" Sony Bravia with 4K max and it looked wonderful. The wide angle lens made for some distortions if you moved too quickly. Overall, great job!

[@thomas21000]

Woah , great job. Looks stunning ! As for me, I don't care if it's a real livestream since I can never catch them live ! 😂

[@robinharpine8032]

Thanks again John 💖💖💖💖💖

[@onlyinjapanGO]

You're welcome :)

[@kefumna]

✨8k brilliant

[@denuca10]

Freaking amazing!

[@Jenny-hq5mw]

Wowowowowwww to be honest with you, I love watching you but I’m not a fan of the livestreams purely bc of video quality. This is a total game changer!!!

[@jarihult]

I may not be able to watch due the time difference but , i’m sure that is awesome 👍!!! Thank you for sharing !!!

[@onlyinjapanGO]

It’ll be available for playback on 8K!

[@jarihult]

@@onlyinjapanGO Ok , then i probably cant watch it 😌!!!

[@memeranglaut]

Always a pleasure seeing one of my favourite places on GO. sad that my monitor maxes out at 1080p hahaha. but the high fidelity image is much appreciated.

[@zakkwylde72]

very cool! nice quality!

[@Shin-ct2em]

I feel like I'm RIGHT THERE. ALMOST.

[@cobrabeebop]

very cool, don't mind waiting at all. 👍
