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.

[@aerbourne31]

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

[@seankennedy1377]

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

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

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

[@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.

[@1-lil_nico]

this has to be the coolest place when there's a apocalyptic event

[@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

Get well soon.

great editing on this, what an incredible place!

Thanks! -E

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

[@johngrubb007]

That was fun. Pretty cool bit of engineering too.

[@kevdenn]

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

[@kydeanderic]

Need to make more! -E

[@bananaiguana60]

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

[@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.

[@village_mayor]

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

[@vandamar77]

Enjoy your weekend!

[@martenlundin]

OH Biwa....cant wait.

[@travelswithblindcane]

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

[@ikaruseijin01]

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

[@amandadow5605]

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

*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 :(

[@sueg2658]

Japanese are fantastic engineers! Amazing!

[@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.

[@Globalshutt13]

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

[@Globalshutt13]

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!

[@Oyasumlpunpun]

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

[@3DJapan]

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

[@donbrashsux]

What an amazing tour of these silos and channels

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

[@olgayevseyeva5990]

Hey, guys! I thought that columns reminded me of Battlestar Galactica. Very cool.

[@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!

[@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]

@@kydeanderic really did!

[@Zach64612]

that place is an engineering marvel, it is so cool

[@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).

[@AmeliaAbroad]

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

[@ikaruseijin01]

11:27 The cat is wary of paparazzi.

Subterranean infrastructure is the most interesting infrastructure. It's super cool that place is open to the public!

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

[@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.

[@llAdriennell]

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.

[@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

[@steveollinger3575]

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

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

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.

[@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 🙁

[@comiyat]

Trivia: Do you know that the Mines of Moria scene in The Lord of the Rings was shot here? ...... or maybe not?

[@kydeanderic]

i think it was filmed in Middle-earth

[@marks150]

Watching this while I have you guys in mind. PS, Eric I'm digging the 19th century English sleeping cap you're sporting on Twitter. Those caps are awesome. 🤘

[@kydeanderic]

haha its just a hoodie

[@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!😀

[@liliamrodriguez3020]

Great video

[@ulfk2151]

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

[@Drjureth]

200 tons per second (I assumed they meant metric tons) is equivalent to 3.17 million gallons per minute.

[@Yesica1993]

Maybe they don't want to get too much in detail for security reasons? I'm glad that belt had a leash! I would not have gone there without something like that. I get woozy too easily.

Thanks! I made it!

[@toddboothbee1361]

@@kydeanderic Cool! Do you make music for a living? I have a few friends who are pro musicians, but none of them composes. Writing your own music (especially if it's as good as your theme music) is uncommon and genuinely creative.

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

[@ethanmandel2413]

I've always wanted to check this place out, too. It's such a cool enormous feat of engineering. Although I need to convince a Japanese friend to go with me.

[@kydeanderic]

You wouldn't need to have a Japanese friend with you. The tour is in Japanese only, but the info and pamphlets and stuff is in English too. -E

[@stevegee7593]

An interesting video. I was wondering if there could have been a shot of Eric walking away from the camera, just to show the size of the place. Also hope you are both feeling better.

[@Ajes1000]

[@harrymarshall]

It looks like the set for the next blade runner movie,, Kyde is obviously the next Blue Peter presenter this was a tvshow where they'd regularly end up donning a harness and helmet then scale Nelson's Column, etc,, you'd think maybe in the US they'd b a White Water rafting franchise next door,, I bet even flushing the loo after being Underhill is dizzying,, 😏
