Running around Tokyo on the train system; a look at a hanami party under the sakura trees in Yotsuya; changing trains in Ochanomizu; looking at Akihabara from the window of a moving train, and - from station to station - the full ride from Ogawa to Takadanobaba, in several clips taken through the front cabs of a Seibu-Haijima Line train and then (after transferring) a Seibu-Shinjuku Line train.

"Hanami Parties Near Yotsuya Station" (100409-1853)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0uJ56iNERQ
Starting with a look down the street between Kioi (concert) Hall on the left and the New Otani Hotel on the right, and then turning to the left and looking down the street that runs between the rampart (with the sakura trees) and Sophia University (on the right), after which I begin walking along the top of the old rampart on the narrow path on top - walking under the sakura trees, with hanami party people beneath them. It was too dark on the rampart to show the trees in much detail (or color), but near the lights you can see the cherry blossoms, and the sound of the hanami parties conveys the atmosphere there somewhat.

"Yamanote Line Night Window View - Leaving Akihabara Station" (100409_1924)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQj89v9ziyE
A view of the modern face of Akihabara just after the train left Akihabara Station (next stop, Okachimachi) - typical visual entertainment available when riding Tokyo's trains at night and standing by a door, so you can look right out the window.
(The long bench seats - facing the centerline of the train car - are not the best place to be for looking at the world flowing by outside, unless the train is nearly empty and you can see out the windows on the opposite side, without people in the middle blocking the view.)
