I've never seen anything better than this video! It's incredible!
yo this is inspiringgggg🔥🔥
What an amazing piece of art; thank you for creating and sharing it with us.
Unique and brilliant. The rain shots in particular. Amazing job!
The metro scenes are simply amazing. No way the passengers and the people in the night chapter are not paid actors ☺
Smashed it! This is the best 32 minutes of YouTube I’ve ever seen. Incredible still images and motion. The music score btw! OMG. Thank you for making and sharing this incredible piece of art. Amazing 👌🏻

MINDBLOWN. Going there in March and I will keep the images in this video close to my heart ❤
This is incredible 🤘🏼
Color grade is perfect and every shot is perfectly framed and super stable. Did you use a gimbal for some of these shots? I’m working on an edit for my Japan trip back in October shot on my aS7III. This video has been a great inspiration. Seriously great job!

Music = absolute mesmerizing
Simply mesmerizing! Such a strange, exotic, but esthetically pleasing world beautifully captured!
Really well done. Mixing video with still and Balderunner-like music made for an interesting view.
I'm on the first third of the video and came to conclusion that no matter what camera you use, the quality of your framing, the things that you see trough the lenses and the desicions that you make when editing and color grading are gonna be always beautiful. The gear is just gear. Kudos to your craft and good taste. Salute from Argentina.
Do more, very inspiring for us as street shooters 👍👍👍👍💯
The cinematography was amazing, loved it.
Stunning
What most people think is an ordinary day-to-day life is full of stories under your lens. I watched it several times. It was so touching~
模型の様な国、豊かさのない街並みと人々、地震大国日本。
That opening shot. Incredible.
Thank you for a beautiful experience.
