          In this train, passengers see through the front window and not the driver. Actually, he's in a cockpit on the roof, not dissimilar to the shape of that on a fighter jet. Go, Japan.

                On the Keisei Line from Ueno to Narita. Tokyo commuters mill about the platform before the train silently pulls off, out into the far flung periphery of the city.

                    This is a recording of the song the driver of this small van sings as he slowly crawls around my neighbourhood. I think he's selling hot Japanese potatoes, but I'm not sure. I can't understand the…

                      Since I added a video of the chimes of Takanawa, I thought I'd share this video of the new chimes that can be heard from the balcony of my apartment in Kotobuki, Tokyo.

                          A Japanese Salaryman, wound up and overworked, unleashes a fireball of musical self-expression on a Friday night in Tokyo. I came to the conclusion that he is by far the coolest salaryman I've ever…
