"Chuo Line, Nishi-Shinjuku, Ueno, Ikebukuro, Takadanobaba, Ginza, Etc."

This batch of videos begins with some low-resolution views taken on the Chuo Line, and then there are views of Nishi-Shinjuku, Takadanobaba, Yurakucho, Ginza, Ueno, and Ikebukuro.  The heat of summer was a little later than usual to kick in, but it's a typical hot and humid Tokyo summer now.  In Yurakucho, there are views of the outside yakitori places full of Friday evening between-work-and-home people.
