This batch of video clips is mostly of scenes taken on New Year's Day, 2011, in central Tokyo, but opens with an abstract video I took in November (and includes some other video clips from late December). The New Year's scenes basically cover areas near Ochanomizu, Ueno, Akihabara and Kanda. The Kanda material shows very lonely looking streets, since all the businesses are closed for New Year's.
