It has come to my attention Tom Scott already made a better version of this video, hahaha. Subscribe here: goo.gl/mkAwyy Patreon patreon.com/kydeanderic / Paypal paypal.me/kydeanderic / Amazon Wishlist kydeanderic.com/wishlist Oh, also we have a Twitch now, come hang! www.twitch.tv/kydeanderic

[@Psychphuq]

But Tom Scott is not Kyde & Eric... ☺

[@WTC7]

Is that Tom Scott that sings Today?

[@TropicalWeatherThreatSociety]

You feeling better Eric?

[@skiski5745]

Who's that? 😂

[@evolutionxbox]

Different. Not better

[@J0hnnyphive]

Ah yes. I've played this level of Mirrors Edge before.

[@jarfledarf8049]

Mines of Moria. I was waiting for goblins to start crawling down from the pillars and Eric and Kyde to draw their broadswords and make a last stand all while continuing to film and talk us through what's going on. Glad that didn't happen.

[@kydeanderic]

haha

[@Dios67]

As another person said, very Mines of Moria like. That noise overhead was actually a fool of a Took pushing a chained skeleton down a well. I can see Eric fighting a Balrog to save Kyde "run, you fool!" Get better you two, chicken soup and OJ.

[@aerbourne31]

I love the fact that there was a skateboard park right on top of this. Hope you guys are feeling better.

[@Sacto1654]

This gigantic water draining system is very needed because essentially much of Tokyo is built essentially on a gigantic river delta. And it proved its worth during several bouts of heavy rain and typhoons in the summer of 2020.

[@ruddiestmanx5116]

I’ve also heard large cities like New York sink into the ground a little from all the weight. So I imagine the same would happen to Tokyo.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

This is an incredibly feat. They need to do this in many parts of the U.S where flooding is common

[@seankennedy1377]

6:00 Looks like the great hall of Moria. Watch out the Balrog!

[@stan1036]

What an adventure to just get there, even! Very impressive Godzilla jail. (I bet that's what it's REALLY for but they aren't allowed to tell us)

[@kydeanderic]

haha

[@travelswithblindcane]

This is super cool! i love that you guys find things that are off the beaten path to see and explore.

[@jaundicedoutlook7247]

70s Sci-fi cathedral. Damn fine looking place. Thanks 😸

[@cheeezon]

great editing on this, what an incredible place!

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! -E

[@Bolwijnable]

Like the Ruins of Karnak. Simply Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@kenken02]

How awesome! So happy you guys did a video about this place!

[@stevesmith4047]

All the nerds are already pointing it out but total lord of the rings Mines of Moria. You guys are great.

[@village_mayor]

one of the places I want to visit. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@itwaswet]

Get feeling better both of you 2

[@donbrashsux]

What an amazing tour of these silos and channels

[@kevdenn]

I'm liking the music you have added. It works well and flows nicely...more please.

[@kydeanderic]

Need to make more! -E

[@n8tn808]

Great editing Eric. Thank you Kyde and Eric for taking us down there!

[@bananaiguana60]

Incredible! Very glad Tokyo (and yall) are protected by this system! Vverrryy mines of moria!

[@Jonasjordan1]

love this kinda stuff! Hope you are feeling better now.

[@jarekweckwerth1390]

This is now firmly on my bucket list. Thanks!

[@briannotbryan3888]

This is such an incredible engineering work that probably has helped millions of people in some way. Glad you got to see it and show us.

[@3DJapan]

I saw another video of this a while back. Cool to see other perspectives of it though. Hope you guys are feeling well!

[@Oyasumlpunpun]

Thanks for the video, hope you guys are feeling better.

[@becca9157]

This is amazing and he scale is mildly terrifying. I hope they do regular inspections (pretty sure they do), but it is kind of mind-blowing at the amount of water of those 200-year floods.

[@brvl20121]

thanks Kyde and Eric

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

Seriously that’s a cool AF video idea! Those underground spaces are really awesome!!! Also, I hope you guys are feeling better... I’m watching this the day after you posted about being really sick 🙁

[@shanelord6471]

What an amazing piece of infrastructure! And as always, a well presented video.

[@steveollinger3575]

This was a great video, music and speed up at beginning was great. Cool 😎 pic through out. Great job. U guys are getting really good 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@ikaruseijin01]

One of those infrastructure things that if it works right, you'll never know it's there or how important it is.

[@persianOUTKAST]

*G-Cans !!!* i knew right away from the title & the thumbnail out of all your videos, this one has me the most jealous. been on my bucket list for over *10 years* , but never found the time :(

[@spaartravels4986]

hope you guys get well soon.

[@johngrubb007]

That was fun. Pretty cool bit of engineering too.

[@justinshutt8038]

Hey guys sorry I haven’t been commenting on the videos for a while. Keep watching on the tv and forget to come back and comment. I never get enough of your videos and keep forgetting to tell you how much I love the music intro to the scenes. Wanted to ask you more about what you playing? Thanks again for a the fun videos!

[@kydeanderic]

Do you mean what instruments? I'm playing all of it, but the drums are programmed, basically. -E

[@justinshutt8038]

Yes I was gonna ask if that’s music you made because I’m really digging it. Notice more of them sweet vibes as I comb thru all your old videos. Love that synthesisic vibe with a nice drum beat!

[@catsnorth]

Really neat to see! Hope you both feel much better soon.

[@catsnorth]

@@curiousnomadic their Instagram mentioned they are sick & getting a bit better.

[@ulfk2151]

Love the videos! Please keep them coming, get better you two

[@AceJayDX]

Good stuff...! New editing style and camera are a positive change, keep up the nice work!

[@florian_kopr]

wow, what an adventure! totally new perspective to tokyo.

[@ShadowSnake141]

It's amazing that there must be so many different systems in place around the world keeping people safe and making life easier to live that are completely hidden.

[@pepo67]

Looks quite impressive 👀! Thanks for showing us this part of Tokyo 🙏👍😊.

[@TheZenMicro]

Amazing! i had no idea this existed! Thanks for sharing!

[@brandontownsend6955]

Great video. I'd really like to go there someday. Hope you two are feeling better and getting well.

[@SparkFromWithin]

Thanks for this little treat before the weekend! PS, I hope you guys are feeling better already.

[@lordtucor8309]

Impressive structure, have a good weekend both of you.

[@Aobokeh]

Very interesting! Great explanations too, thanks!

[@rokuman42]

great coverage , always wanted to see how the inside really looked like . i remember seeing this place use as reference in anime / manga

[@RATATATATA78]

I really like that montage/editing you did with music for the bus and train parts, it reminded me of your older video intros.

[@mustangrebus]

What an interesting project. I love to see some of these "secret" places around the world. Well done.

[@canalwanderer]

Fascinating to see the inner workings of a large city. Perhaps check out the classic film The Third Man for another excellent underground sewage system.

[@AmeliaAbroad]

I've watched something about this place before, its crazy how much water it can hold!

[@cz180p]

I just got my first covid shot yesterday and I’m feeling horrible with aches and severe fatigue but for some reason your video made me temporarily feel 100% better. I think I’m going to go on a binge through your channel haha

[@TNT_Mancave]

7:05 - Its the Mines of Moria - neat vid as usual Eric

[@bleedingwell6403]

That massive hall with the pillars just has me thinking there's gonna be some mutant cult worshiping a doomsday bomb at one end :P Great video guys, hope ya both feeling better!

[@MyNathanking]

11:20: Love that cute cat.

[@TheBaldr]

Get well soon.

[@greensky01]

Very interesting video! Thank you

[@sammiibb]

Love to see the thing fill up... Maybe it should get its own live twitch feed !!

[@HawaiiJapan808]

Amazing Japanese engineering. I’ve always wanted to go check out this tour just haven t gotten around to it. Thanks for taking us. Thx from Kauai.

[@vandamar77]

Enjoy your weekend!

[@amandadow5605]

Comment for the countbot, really interesting, I love large industrial empty building, very cathedral-like.

[@davidice101artistdavideric7]

Thinking of you both 🤞🤘🙏😁

you guys are awesome!!!!!!!

[@JohnWilliams-rk9ni]

Very interesting, thanks.

[@martenlundin]

OH Biwa....cant wait.

[@willsonize2278]

Wow that place is epic 👍

[@trixunix5411]

Very cool! We have a similar system here in São Paulo, Brazil. But not that complex, they just store the the water from overflowing rivers. We called them “piscinões”(big pools).

[@TheMatte791]

The size and scale of those tunnels is just crazy! I would love to have seen the size of the pumps that are needed to pump all that water away into the river. They must be huge!

[@IainMacaulayce]

great video, get better you two

[@WilliamIsted]

That's a megastructure for sure! Nice harness system

[@mominhaq6295]

Excellent video

[@Bentears]

Wow, what a huge system that appears to be. I would bet those who benefit from it are glad it exists. Sadly I dont think any major cities in Aus have such an extensive system. It was fascinating. Hope you two had fun!😀

[@AllieStrange]

Very cool :D. If i ever make it over there this will be on the list of things to do heh. Anyways, hope you guys are feeling a little better and that you get over whatever you've got soon

[@jimshorts9708]

It's huge!

[@lAdrianl]

Never knew any of this. Great educational video. Crazy to think they looked so far ahead in creating this knowing they might not ever benefit from it in there lifetime.

[@f13tcher]

Awesome!

[@RichardbBrunner]

Amazing temple of the flood.

[@Thanetian577]

Thank you, that was really interesting, Those cracks do look a bit worrying though.

[@jmt7676]

Interesting. Thank you.

[@lindsaycordova91]

Japan is just doing things so right! Such a smart system that is helping so many I’m sure. Thanks for the video!

[@bjeffrie22]

Very cool

[@newqer]

I think i learned about this place from some NHK show. Knowing how far out in the inaka it is i probably would have never visited it myself. Thanks for sharing this experience!

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@newqer]

[@steveollinger3575]

G Can stands for jerry can used in ww2. Which means extra supply, at least that’s what I’m thinking 🤔

[@kellyrowe4075]

I don’t remember when but I’ve heard about these before so glad you guys got to go on an adventure here! Wild how those crazy noises were just skateboarders. Was it kinda creepy to stand in a place like that and think how far underwater you could be?

[@sueg2658]

Japanese are fantastic engineers! Amazing!

[@Ajes1000]

Impressive 😳

[@liliamrodriguez3020]

Great video

Lol this seems very cool. I had me some steamed shrimp and crab with this video so yay for the water theme

[@markekomita-burns1831]

I remember watching the livestream while you were editing this video, the only thought that had come to me at the time was deja vu

[@Maarinaa88]

Wow incredible! I wonder how many years of planning and testing it took to create this system.
