This batch of videos straddles the period before and after the March 11th, 2011 earthquake - with typical train scenes (Chuo, Tozai, Seibu lines, etc.) and street scenes of Ginza, Yurakucho, and Shinjuku, etc. There are also videos showing the large-scale painting by Yokko and views of the Okuno Building.
Very much in mind are the many problems generated by the earthquake - the earthquake itself is one thing, but the radiation fears from the damaged nuclear power plants are even more scary - one problem begins to gradually recede, the other to grow....
