Starting with daytime views of walking in Ginza in a light rain - continuing with train and station scenes in Yurakucho, Tokyo, and Shinjuku, plus some walking views in Shinjuku and a look out a window of a late night train while listening to wheel thump-thump-thump noises caused by... bad wheel bearings?
"Ginza Side Street in Rain" (100427-1351)

Walking down a Ginza side street in a light rain. (Later in the evening, this street would have more people walking around.)

"Ginza - Walking Along Chuo Dori in Light Rain" (100427-1357)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CadnoUNLZDw
Walking along one of Ginza's main streets - Chuo Dori - in a light rain.
I used to enjoy this street more, but recently it has mainly huge fortress-like buildings with "brand" stuff that I never, ever-ever-ever buy or even look at. Fortunately, there are still some interesting things on Ginza's back streets.

"Ginza - Still on Chuo Dori" (100427-1359)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnBk4Csom_A
Not much to say - just walking down the main street. The feeling I always have when on this street is something like this: "Well - here I am in Ginza... just a little further down and I can get off of this boring main street, away from the fire-breathing machinery, and onto the interesting side streets..."

"Approaching Yurakucho Station In Twilight" (100427-1821)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhBtq_3TB6Y
Walking along near the overhead railways - approaching the entrance to Yurakucho Station.

"Tokyo Station - Exiting Keihin-Tohoku Line" (100427-1827)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcSr4sMw8qU
Getting off of a Keihin-Tohoku Line train and then walking along the platform to the stairs (that lead down to the transfer passageways beneath the tracks).

"Shinjuku Platform Walk - April 27th, 2010" (100427-1844)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Qiz4gsr9o
Walking down the Chuo Line outbound platform during the evening rush.
The interesting thing about walking in these conditions is that the need for constant navigational input keeps you from getting bored, and it seems exciting and interesting, since... you don't have time to think?
新宿駅の中央線下りホームの散歩 東京 (Recorded on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010, at 6:44 p.m.)
"Exiting Shinjuku Station via Southeast Exit" (100427-1846)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnH3EBDxD7o
Walking towards and then through the Southeast Exit of Shinjuku Station. Shinjuku Station has a large number of exits, so it pays to be very careful about which one you use if you're pressed for time!

"Omoide-Yokocho - Street-side and Inside View" (100427-2151)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXMg5jYvinw
Starting on the street side of Omoide-Yokocho, and then diving into the pedestrian only path that leads into the center of it.

"Shinjuku - Walking Under JR Railway Bridge at Night" (100427-2153)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjpSVat-2Vg
Walking under a JR railway bridge just before 10:00 p.m. - with the noise of a train passing overhead as I am about to come out from under the bridge and back into a light rain.

"Train Window Night View - Worn Wheel Bearings?" (100427-2238)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4sIRybrp7k
Looking out the window of a late-night train - listening to a thump-thump-thump noise as the train changes speed. This is much less common now than before, but still you hear it from time to time - caused by bad wheel bearings maybe?
