We have been posting alot of videos lately huh? Well here is another one ;)
THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME!
Just compare it to those embarrassing talent shows that are on german tv, what a shame.
The song is also pretty good too I heard it somewhere before I think it is a very popular song in Japan or a soundtrack of a movie not sure right now, if you know it post a comment please ^^;
Found this via Nagoya Yoms Tumblr.

I had to do some stuff in Friedberg today nothing special but since I want to keep these photowalk blogs up and going I took a few snaps from today.
This is the train station in Friedberg, I like how it looks.
For such a small city like Friedberg their train station has quite alot of tracks.
Inside the train station we decided to check out the magazine stands and browsed a bit through the manga section, yes it became quite standard/mainstream in Germany so that almost every
magazine / newspaper shop has mangas now.
This one right here is like a free preview copy for you to grab, its like a taste test for the newest mangas released. I also like the dinosaur character “Gon” that some of you guys might remember
from Tekken 3 ;).
A recommendation from a friend of mine who knows the Anime “Highschool of the Dead”.
Zelda Manga??
World of Warcraft Manga/Comic ?!?!?!??! Milking the cashcow a little more now huh?
RUNFFM is your personal LOVE BLOG!
I thought this book looked interesting since its about japanese popculture a topic that I am into alot, there is alot of stuff in this book that I remember from my last few trips to Tokyo and some
who have been there might recognize alot of it too.
Tokyo Clash on Amazon.de for 14,95 Euro
Passmo or Suica card do you still have yours from your Japan trip? I still carry mine around every day lol I left it in my wallet it also still works after I have been using it every year when I am in Tokyo.
A motorcycle designed like a toilet or like a bullet train? Or the toilet designed like a bullet train? huh?
Some more regular home appliances that look “extremely futuristic”.
Everyone who has been in Tokyo remembers the toilets and those implemented bathroom sinks on top of the toilets, always thought that was a pretty neat idea but theres no place to put some soap next to it.
I think the left looks like a “Donki” or “Don Quixote/Don Quijote” its a multi level department kind of store with almost everything you need or dont need in your daily life in Tokyo, make sure to visit one of those when you are in Tokyo you will recognize them by a big sign with a blue penguin on top in a weird costume lol. Heres also a pretty cool flickr group dedicated just to “Donki”.
There are still some old style cinemas in Friedberg, with all those multiplexes dominating the cinema scene its kinda nice to see one of those still up and running.
Btw. I head that new movie by M. Night Shyamalan sucks (like his last few movies too? whats wrong thought he made good movies once)
I have this tradition that everytime I have to go to Friedberg I drive by the local Burger King on the way back lol this time I was joined by Stefan for some good “health food”.
And thats the end of todays photoblog I’ll keep you updated also make check out our T-Shirts we will also put up the white colorway online soon.

Hey, I decided to cut together some old and new footage from my last two Tokyo trips.
Stefan and me were thinking about documenting our Tokyo trip and call it Gauweed-TV , a “Gauweed” is someone who has incredible powers and usually is a descendant of the Alpengauweed who is a big hairy guy living on a mountain. People who have been pwned by Gauweed or the Alpengauweed himself are usually referred to as “Ignatz” or “Ignätze”.
Okay so here are the videos the first two videos are from 2009 , the audio is quite bad because the shotgun mic that I used was broken, audio is only in german.
And this one is from last April (2010) we went to Nakano Broadway. The video is also hardsubbed in english, audio is german.
Hope you enjoy it I will continue this series whenver I am in Japan with Stefan Gauweed.

A really cool documentary that follows football, art and music of Japanese immigrants in Sao Paulo.
The most famous one and main focus in this documentary is Tulio Tanaka who played for Japan in the current Worldcup 2010.

Heres my last Lomo LCA Tokyo film this time I tried out the Kodak Ektar 100 film that I bought at the Yodobashi Camera shop. I heard its a more professional film and I was wondering how this film will turn out with the “kinda low-fi” (not to degrade this great camera) Lomo LCA.
Enjoy the pictures and I hope you might get the urge to visit Tokyo, great city!

Heres a bunch of random clips from Tokyo that were leftover on my “old” camera before I sold it, I thought I would share some of those random clips with you, be warned these are really random.
I was shooting a mini vlogumentary (I made up that word docu x vlog) during my stay last August but due to technical issues I was not able to complete it yet (though some sequences are online on my youtube), since I upgraded to a new DSLR with video I decided to continue the “vlogumentary” with the new camera the next time I am in Tokyo.

Stumbled upon this photo of Levi Maestro from the popular web series called MaestroKnows (which I always enjoy watching) via his twitter.
I like this photo and I remember that street in Tokyo.
I remembered it so well that I thought “hey wait I think I have been exactly at that spot”.
This picture was taken by a photographer called Zack McTee on Flickr make sure to check his photos out!
Though the focus of that picture lies on a totally different path, many people might follow the same, some leave bigger traces some leave smaller ones.

Todays post is going to be a collection of some street shots that I took during my recent Tokyo trip.
Most pictures in this post were taken around the areas of Asakusabashi/Akihabara, Harajuku and Shimokitazawa.
The three stripes are everywhere.
This is Radley who is currently a film student in Tokyo, he’s taking some b-roll shots for his latest shortfilm, check out his youtube channel!
Nice cars in Tokyo!
The Shimokita.
They are building a new highway through the old Shimokitazawa area which will destroy the whole vibe of the area.
Several organizations are trying to convince the Tokyo government to reconsider their current plans to save the Shimokita.
Village / Vanguard is an interesting store in Shimokitazawa that has all kinds of weird and cool stuff and “novelties” , from cool cameras, books/magazines, music, gadgets, T-shirts to weird costumes.
Costumes like that one for example… HG!
If you keep an eye open for cool stickers in the different areas of Tokyo you might come accross
one of those ;)
Lots of food vendors near the Shimokitazawa station.
The title of this can of beer sounded weird to me, “The Brew”, it sounds like someone mixed together all the leftover beer of last night and put it into a can, but it wasnt that bad actually when I gave it a try.
But I’m still not sure if it really was beer ;)
Uniqlo had some cool T-Shirts and as always for a good price, I am also surprised by the quality of their T-Shirts !
The prints on my old Uniqlo shirts still look like new after several washes.
A sidestreet in Akihabara.
Well this is it for todays post, hope you enjoyed the pictures, make sure to check back and please join&invite people to our facebook fanpage, its much appreciated!!

Some people have asked me what kind of camera I used for the black and white shots from Tokyo.
Well while I was at the Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara, I got the idea that it would be interesting to take some black and white shots on film while I am in Tokyo. I only had my Lomo LCA with me that used 35mm film and I still had more than 20 shots left on the roll that I still had to take, while wandering around this huge store I found those Single Use Cameras.
When I saw the results I thought I should give it another try and got me some more of those ^^;
Black&White Film FTW!

Here I present you some fotos that I have taken in Tokyo with a simple Rollei single use camera equipped with some agfa black and white film.

On a nice sunny day in Tokyo I decided to hit up the Stüssy x Ricoh gallery at the Ricoh Ring in Ginza.
Whats nice about Ginza on a Saturday (or was it Sunday not sure anymore) is that they block off the main streets for cars so people have more space to walk around while checking out all the stores.
Also a camera team was out and eager to find people for an interview about something, I guess fashion lol but who knows, it would fit the whole Ginza scene though.
I managed to take some pictures from inside the gallery.
Well all together the gallery was nice and it made me think about getting myself one of those Ricoh GR Digitals ;). I like their quality and how easy and compact they are I need something like that as my backup on the go camera though (depening on the lense) the 550D is not too heavy to carry around too but doesnt quite fit into my pockets ;). Afterwards we went to Shimokitazawa and checked out some other thingys but more on that in given time in another blogpost.
