Tokyo at 5AM

[@majoramoons]

This was actually a really nice video. It's not a particularly focused video with a specific purpose, moreso just wandering around the urban landscape at night, but even if it isn't the most conventionally interesting video, I think it's simply nice to have a video that's rather calm and settling: the peacefulness of this vlog is great.

[@fixxundfertig]

Yep, I absolutely agree.

[@omnitoki1268]

Same here

[@kosmoscav]

5:51 Mudan: "Who's delivering food at 5AM" The Delivery Guy (probably): "Who wants a food at five in the morning" The Guy Ordering: "Oh boy 5AM"

What kitchen is open at 5AM?

TBh Connor probably would order food at 5 am :D

[@puckvl_5782]

I liked Japan at 5AM, the quiet and bearable temperatures were amazing

[@booksandocha]

It might have felt kind of aimless, but this one was perhaps one of the few that gave me an immediate "oo, I wanna do that" kind of feeling. Cycling in Tokyo feels kind of sketchy usually, but going around at night seems like a much calmer experience.

[@chipmunkm4n]

When moving, the GoPro with stabilization is so much better and it isn't even close.

[@luiskoga-sd6zk]

Yeah but that’s about all that the GoPro has that’s better than the A7iii for most case scenarios, and prob the small compact size too but idk

[@Chocolatecakeicecream]

@@luiskoga-sd6zk and the price

[@RinajiTheFool]

Being outside at night in summer just hits totally different, it's like you are teleported to different dimension

[@lesshealers]

This is by far the best tumbnail and title. The only one i remember in my whole break

[@GanonMasta]

Comfiest Mudan Japan vlog in a while.

[@Robonator14]

Very cozy video. Still wild to me that you don't have more views yet. These are some of the most entertaining videos i have watched all year

[@surfergirlt2432]

This is my favorite video of yours. It was peaceful and yet watching the sky gradually lightening was beautiful to look at. ❤️

[@solidkink]

I like the vibes of this vid. TokyoLens did something similar to this months ago but he was running in the morning in Tokyo and didn't talk, so this really gives a different perspective on how active are the roads during this time of day

[@pandorafromtheothers]

I went to Tokyo last year, and this video perfectly captures the vibe I felt out there. Thanks for taking me back.

[@kv4648]

This seems like a vibe. The music + vlog inspired from just feeling the vibes of being alone riding through that would be magical. I would definitely consider this a vlog because of how it made me think and feel a lot more. Although this could definitely be just my personal association with this kind of environment

[@arinstrinkets]

This was actually a really nice mundane vlog/video. And with just your commentary, no background music, it was a nice chill one. And yes, I don't consider it "tomorrow" until I've gone to bed, no matter what time it is

[@neowwent]

This gives "call of the night" anime vibes

[@tanmaykulkarni_]

city pop and cycling there at night will go so hard

[@vilodivan]

This was a chill vlog! Feel free to do more like this. It must be hard to come up with things to do each day so some days (or nights) can be more chill. Plus yea the stabilization is a must when riding on something that's bumping all over the place.

[@blaaaaaaaaaaaaargh]

I'll always love seeing the golden poop Asahi building, and the bar inside it is cool as well! I hope they'll never tear that down.

[@TandokuOsaki]

I like how it is already bright when you wake up in Tokyo during winter. Makes you so much more motivated for the day! Also no winter/summertime bs switch as we have it in EU.

[@terlinna]

I appreciate how calming this video is. Even after I worked night shift, it's strange to see the quietness of the world at 5am.

[@snerl69]

one of the better vlogs man i really liked it the morning lights are the best.

[@smithwillnot]

For me this is the best type of video. I just love seeing random places in a city. Thank you for filming this but you don't need to skip sleep for us, even exploring during the day is interesting. 7:58 this one really feels like those "Tokyo in [insert decade there]" videos Also in general there were so many shots where I was like "this is just like in that anime" for obvious reasons (there were a lot of places which reminded me of Durarara and Odd Taxi) Oh also I too feel the same about when the "next day" starts.

[@HAunderscoreVE]

The 6th day of asking Mudan to go experience drifting

[@CamKoudo]

Nah, this was super interesting!! Seeing the empty streets of tokyo at night and ending it with the sunrise was peak 🌅 👌

[@TSWchelar]

This video was strangely healing/wonderful in a way. I'm from Toronto so I've never galivanted around at 3-5am at night for safety reasons. Getting to see you and the babysitter soak up a city at that time felt so peaceful and a peek into a world I'd rarely find myself in.

[@BecTries]

100% agree in regards to stabilisation. I prefer smooth footage over a wibbly wobbly 4K nightmare. Also really enjoyed this vlog, one of my favourite things to do when I went to Tokyo last year was wander round late at night

[@hardt92]

I enjoyed the vibe of this vlog. nice and chill.

[@drlink7691]

the first night a arrived at tokyo i went out to walk around all night and was one of my high lights of the trip we did, you get to experince tokyo in diferent way. i felt safe all the time , thanks for the video i got to remember my walk so awesome

[@Hammerstrike81]

Totally a worthwhile video. Just seeing a mega-city during the night, with absolutely no-one around is amazing. Thanks for the chill vibes, fella~! What sorts of wacky things will Mudan get up to tomorrow? (probably sleep)

[@helpnxt]

Took Mudan 9 months to learn that Tokyo really is a 24 hour city and the day starts at 5amish because that's when the trains start

[@Spedatr0n]

I love the quietness of it all… very nice. 9:20 I definitely prefer the GoPro

[@madange]

This was an incredibly peaceful and serene video! I enjoyed it immensely

[@professorbyleth8489]

Your daily vlogs are great and chill keep up the good work. :)

[@PatientC]

Road to 100k Mudan you can do it!

[@RinajiTheFool]

I get your rant at the end, sleep just resets the day, it's the law of nature

[@Anon_2_1]

Favorite vlog so far

[@Fynal666]

It was cool to see waking up Tokyo, and yeah GoPro all the way for video like this.

[@mario98730]

As much as I love the videos with the bells and whistles and hehehaha poopoo jokes, something about this chill, minimal editing just biking around tokyo vibe I found so relaxing and enjoyable

[@Saph1r0]

This vlog halfed my heart rate, it was so relaxing. I bet you two gonna remember that night ride for a long time :)

[@TwodeeTwodimensional]

The poop shirt is now iconic 💩

[@user-kt9ul5kq6x]

Really fascinating to see Tokyo so quiet at 4-5AM. Hope you and Mudam will do more nighttime content even if it does conflict with your editing & sleep schedules 😅

[@riflakar2179]

This is so relaxing! Thank you!

[@myrb2622]

9:28 the GoPro didn't even flinch

[@DreamingCannibal]

GoPro looks overall better. Overall quality matters less when the footage is just light lines. This Daily vlog was honestly very nice. Thank you for this very chill video.

[@gameboyadvancesp2069]

Always nice to see mudan upload

[@EBJAMES]

This was super chill vibe and great to see a different aspect of Tokyo

[@Namidagr]

I was in Niigata in February of 2024. At around 22:00 the city was half empty, by 23:00 almost no cars where running and no pedestrians at all. And this is the capital of that prefecture!

[@KBee-qk8wd]

having lived in Japan the best place to see the sun rise in Tokyo is out towards the rainbow bridge. It's spectacular, I often see it if I have the early flight back to Australia and it's a lovely way to leave Tokyo

[@WildboarXR]

Stabilized is just better.

[@ItsKaisho]

Honestly, the Gopro footage is simply better for active camerawork without having to edit it too much after. The stabilization is great. Also, yes, "tomorrow" is when you sleep and wake up. :)

[@pookhahare]

Quiet of early morning is when u hear soul of the city.

[@denzelmedes1780]

4 am song kicks in while watching this video is just the vibes 😊

[@brvhtxxbxk]

I always start my days at 6pm,the heat is crazy,still even at 3am,humid. I love Tokyo at night,the breeze is becoming more strong which makes it so much more bareable to be out and about.

[@_Piers_]

When Tokyo Lens did his midnight walk across Tokyo he said quite a few shrines had been moved onto rooves and showed a couple - you could just walk up to the room of those buildings. Might be worth a look if you want to see the sunrise :)

[@rujkantanadigital1090]

You told us in the Donki at 3AM video that we should be sleeping! Anyway, I did enjoy watching you cycle through Tokyo. Hope you get lots of sleep!

[@am53n8]

Cycling at night is so chill

[@lesshealers]

A tier video , i mean its alright. Now i get what pual meant with the grease filter. Hate it so much on a whole video, but I loved it in certain shots

[@nopethefish]

Guys I think Mudan is becoming a vampire.

[@AzeharaCh]

Sensoji at 5-6am is great

[@smurphorov]

Maybe not as informative or focused but i was engaged the whole way through. Fun video

[@gdore15]

Would accept a sunrise timelapse of that shot on the bridge with Skytree and the river.

[@yannickschoubben]

“Who's delivering food at 5AM?”…. It’s probably Conner 🦍

[@idreesmushtaq7194]

I agree with Mudan, my tomorrow doesn't start until I fall asleep and wake up again even if I have stayed up all night lol.

[@Meow3431]

I love the dawn atmosphere ❤ I am naturally an early riser so I love how calm mornings are and how fresh the air is. It always feels "innocent" to me. As human are still sleeping and nothing bad or annoying is happening 😂 Thanks for sharing

[@memeranglaut]

Great content as always. Is booking bikes with Luup easy? Also late night and early morning are the best time to capture back alley content.

[@Demanufactur3r]

Great video showing the 5AM vibes!

[@AhCup]

The Go Pro video looks actually pretty nice.

[@WolfietheheroProductions]

What I liked was that you chose a video idea that not many partake in; therefore it’s better that just cycling around Akihabara, Ueno & Kappabashi during the daily rush 😅 Plus Japan has a very different vibe during the early hours - like when I was leaving Osaka about half 5 one morning last year; to walk from my hotel to the station was nice and peaceful; it was so quiet that tbh my mate & I just walked across the timed crossings (the ones where you can’t cross even when dead quiet during day time) - now whilst someone could say we were just gaijin being disrespectful or ignoring the rules - fair; at one of the ones we just crossed… an older Japanese lady did the same thing in the opposite direction- so as far as we were concerned it was perfectly fine 😅

[@DiscoCallum]

The vast majority of my Tokyo exploration is done at night, usually cycling. There's something so peaceful about the crazy busy streets suddenly turning totally dead when it turns midnight. Also, 5 AM is roughly when the first trains start back up and so that's why the streets get much busier as people head to work :)

[@CamKoudo]

1:57 in Germany we call ppl who are driving in the wrong lane Geisterfahrer, which translates to ghost driver. Very fitting for cycling so late 😂

[@Mobik_]

Day 36 of asking Mudan to complete every single prefecture in Japan and Day 19 of telling Mudan to improve his reading speed and study for the JLPT exam. All chill at 5am... my city gets quiet at night but still tons of cars around. The weird thing is that after the events of 2020, everyone's day starts at 9am or 10am for a lot of stores, weird.

[@psmancini]

Stabilized looks way better. Skytree should do a sunrise event so you could see the whole skyline start to light up. (Also stopped at Public House ZEN while I was in Asakusa and it was a blast)

[@keshavjha7141]

this was the best video

[@williamdigiacomo8900]

he shaved. our sexy hung Mudan is back!!!

[@Kurraku]

You're right about the stabilization. I like the color of the Sony better, however, I feel like it's much easier to fix the color in post than it is to get the stabilization right. It helps that the GoPro adds more light (I assume it is the ISO) which lets you add different color grading in post and get the feel you want easier.

[@rfgnmf-nmesofuehsdjfnrmeowfsdz]

bro mudan speaking the thought i've always had but never shared with anyone wtf at the end

[@derzockercarl]

This video gave me Yofukashi no Uta vibes.

[@nonewguy352]

Daily vlog hype

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

The on-board stabilisation for the Go Pro 10 is mad good. Just have to be careful in low light condition especially at 60 FPS as it causes a lot of smearing/ghosting. My main complaint about the GoPro 10 is the overheating issue. To film for longer than an 10-20mins when I go flying I mount a USB fan to blow air at it. That way I can film not stop.😂

[@MaikPeterMedia]

How much was the ride ? I like the Insta360 Go 3s.

[@ultima___v7]

We got to be little sleepy kittens in Mudan and the Babysitter's bike baskets

[@PiksyMexxy]

I really need to know, did the pidgeon cross the road? I enjoyed this video very much, perfect for the end of a migraine day! 😊

[@うめゾーン]

Even I, a Japanese, feel that the past few years have been unusually hot. This has never happened before. Yet, I heard on TV that this winter is going to be harsh. I don't need four seasons, just spring and fall. I hate both hot and cold.

[@riflakar2179]

Empty city streets feels like heaven to me.

[@Hemsworths23]

This is a good video. I was already planning to do this while running but now I think biking might be better. P.S. Where is the Garnt or Sydsnap collab?

[@nero14xiv]

Tokyo at 5AM just hits different.

Ive been in Japan for two days and it’s been amazing! Shinjuku is always open lol

[@luiskoga-sd6zk]

8:51 Wait are u using the IBIS on the A7iii? Cause yeah it’s not gonna look as good as a GoPro but IBIS+Wide angle lens should do the job pretty nicely I think

[@CamShump]

I know mudan is staying in Asakusa, but I do wish ikebukoro/shinjuku/shibuya area could get some love like this vid too.

[@robertdubois2685]

Got to sleep Mudan, your going do a burnout. :-)

[@rea8959]

Mudan finally experience become gen Z in Japan

[@erremilia]

i still prefer the unstabilized cinema camera over the GoPro Insta360 Ace Pro would be cool

[@willowg7131]

1000% agree. IT'S NOT "TOMORROW" UNTIL I'VE SLEPT.

[@KotomiTomabechi]

JR Yamanote line starts to move at 4:30 and then other local lines / subways starts around 5. So some people who stayed at night in a bar, family-restaurant , Manga kissa ( comic cafe) or Karaoke place, go to their job or home at 5.

[@caesartopacio9636]

This is a beautiful video. 🎉❤
