Been capturing morning time lapses and this morning's sunrise turned out good... Until a fly appeared at one point somehow outside the window. Otherwise clear skies, a fairly warm day. Bought this Suntory Tennensui brand of water marketed with Suzume and Shinkai's other movies. They changed the bottle so that it's easier to...

Not such an early start today since I'm just walking around Tokyo to tour some more Shinkai movie spots; mix of Weathering with You/Tenki no Ko and Your Name. People sure finish their breakfast quickly, a lot of business people in suits. View feels pointless when you're doing that. You might as well just be surrounded by paintings imo....

Off to the Your Name, Tateishi Park today. Early morning so I could have more time to explore the place. Got up at half 5 to head to the station. The Azusa Limited Express is only available from Shinjuku so wanted to get there before rush hour. Despite being the first train of the day, there was actually quite a lot of people. There are quite...

Thought I'd sleep like a log since couldn't sleep on the plane but only actually managed an hour. Upside was I forgot to set the camera's time so the time lapse wouldn't have happened if I didn't get up to correct it. Cloudy so no sun visible but not bad. Had breakfast around half 7 before setting out. Dropped down to get a new SIM I saw in 7...

They didn't have much Anime on the flight but Gold Kingdom and Water Kingdom by Madhouse was available. Saw a...

As he delves deeper into the background of the bike "Garland" he soon...

In Japan you've got services like these but it's nothing as seedy as escorts as it's mostly lonely people wanting some company to do something such as play a video game together. Believe it or not, there are even rent-a-family services which people can rent a pretend family member such as a mum for people who have moved far away and...

When he sees a strange object disappear in the sky resembling the utopian island from the novel, he becomes even more determined to seek it...
