Everything is from 2012 this time. In fact, this whole batch is from Thursday, October 11th, 2012. There are recordings from several locations (I use the term 'recordings' because it seems more accurate than film terms when referring to digital recordings of visual material - which include audio after all), but the main areas I spent some time in are Shibuya, Uguisudani (Negishi), and Nippori. I'll make a few additional comments after some of the video titles/links below, but mainly the titles are fairly self-explanatory.
Twilight Ride - Nippori-Toneri Liner 日暮里舎人ライナー (121011g)
http://youtu.be/Kd68_w4AdbI
A view from the front of this computer-driven (no human driver) train (with rubber tires - not steel wheels) in the twilight. I generally don't like acronyms, but this train probably ought to have one. "Nippori-Toneri Liner" is a bit over the top - "NTL Line" would make more sense, especially since, if you put "Line" into the name, you would end up with "Nippori-Toneri Liner Line", which a bit ridiculous. I think the old system of basing the line on two (and sometimes three) kanji would have been best: 東海道 (Tokaido), 山手 (Yamanote), 東西 (Tozai), 銀座 (Ginza), 東武 (Tobu), 西武 (Seibu), 京王 (Keio), 小田急 (Okakyu), 東急 (Tokyu), 東横 (Toyoko), etc., "日暮里舎人ライナー" is way too long - it's more like a sentence than a name....

A lot of trains pass by this area, so it has quite a busy feel to it in the evening.
Shibuya Afternoon Walkabout 渋谷昼散歩 (121011g)
http://youtu.be/5vx5KlgP66I
A look at Shibuya in the early afternoon - which has a bit different feel to it than at night (but of course...). In the plaza were three different amplified sound sources competing for ears....

Yanaka-Ginza Shotengai Stroll 谷中銀座散歩 (121011)
http://youtu.be/Ydaq9My1iKs
This shotengai has become a tourist draw. This sort of shopping street used to just be the norm, but has become something rather nostalgic as people's shopping habits have changed - putting many small shops out of business.

This was my first visit to this new high-rise building in Shibuya. It's actually rather interesting - with a whole range of things inside, from department store and restaurants, to convention center, movie theater, music hall, and sitting atop all that, office space.

Looking at the sea of construction equipment that is between this new building and Shibuya Station. I'm not sure what's going to happen to this area exactly. Either they are going to do major construction on something, or possibly some (or all) of the construction equipment there is related to the large new high-rise?

These glass-sided elevators are quite visually interesting to ride in, as they provide a view both of outside and of the various cables and counterweights that make up this bank of elevators.
