Another batch of video clips - including typical train scenes (Chuo Line, Etc.), street scenes in Shinjuku, Yurakucho, and Ginza, a few clips covering art exhibitions, and an evening hike on a Mt. Takao trail, as well as a view of the (temporary) German beer garden in Hibiya Park. The weather during this batch of clips has been perfect - just outside of the spring heavy-pollen season, not too cold, not too hot, and before the rainy season. Just after the day the Hibiya Park beer garden clip was recorded, it began raining and it's been raining nearly every day since, so the rainy season may have started.

Yurakucho Shoe Shine People - (110520-1601)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPHX6KXZqOI
Walking under the Shinkansen tracks in Yurakucho - and then past a group of shoe shine people. This may be another sign of a bad economy. I saw some very old people working as shoe shiners when I came in Japan in the early eighties, and then when the economy got better, you saw less and less of them, and since the economy has gotten really bad, you're beginning to see more and more of them....
