Looks like I'd better put in the song credit:
Puffy Ami Yumi - "Boogie Woogie #5" ...
I have no idea how their album got onto my hard drive. I'd never heard of them until the day I soundtracked this.

I liked this video, very informative and funny. How about a follow-up on bike messengers?

I ride a hybrid bike all around Tokyo and the surrounding areas.

That would be awesome. I'd love to see some footage right from the thick of it all. I didn't even know there were biking messengers in Tokyo -- are they on bicycles or motorbikes?
There's a Vimeo channel about bicycling if you haven't seen it already:

Actually, I was suggesting you produce a video on bike messengers, but I can contribute some footage from the perspective of the bike. I bought a gorillapod tripod yesterday, and once my Xacti HD700 finally arrives, I plan on recording from the street perspectives.

There are many bike messengers around Akasakamitsuke and that area.

Thanks for the bike channel heads, up, I just subscribed.

Did you get any good bike messenger footage yet or other Tokyo from-the-bike footage? I haven't lived in Japan for a few years, though I do go back to catch up about once a year. Let me know if you get some footage, cause I do want to re-make this video with some of the new footage and photos I got in Japan late last year.

Yes, I have gotten some recent from the bike footage in Tokyo, but just of cherry blossom stuff. Check out the TCC cycling video in my profile, there is a small clip of in motion video there, I can post just that clip if you'd like to use it.

And I shot some more cherry blossom videos from my bike this past week. I will edit and post them soon.
