This batch of clips begins with a jump back to Saturday, February 9th, 1991 - first in a clip showing the regular trains (not Shinkansen) I took to Yamato-Machi in Niigata Prefecture, and then the next clip details my walk around within Yamato-Machi - in snow country. Both clips are long and boring, but of interest if you want to know what it's like to ride the regular 1991 trains to Niigata (not the Shinkansen) and to walk around in February 1991 Yamato-Machi....
After time-tripping back to 1991 Niigata, the next batch of clips were recorded on October 27th, 2010 - showing many of the Yamanote Line runs - from station to station. First from Takadanobaba towards Ueno and around to Kanda, etc. in the daylight, and then continuing around towards Ebisu at night later on the same day. These are also long and boring - unless you want to know how it is to ride the Yamanote Line. No action heroes appear, nor space aliens or earth-threatening asteroids, etc. - just the regular flow of life in Tokyo. Of possible interest if you pay attention to details and want a better grasp of the reality of living in mega-city Tokyo.
The last clip of this batch shows how it is navigating Shinjuku Station - which is often listed as the most-used railway station in Japan. This clip is actually (generally) interesting I think - and possibly "a trip" to experience if you don't live in a mega-city buzzing with bipeds here, there, and everywhere - and more.
