Tokyo Calling : Another Landscape of Japan » robot

Shaping History, Shaping Tomorrow

Kenji Harada — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 01:19:02 +0000

Tokyo is a city like no other; a sprawling metropolis that never ceases to amaze. In this video I wanted to explore the many contrasts of life in the city; between the young and the old, the traditional and the contemporary, the fast and the slow, the eastern and western influences.

This film was commissioned by Keio University for their ‘Shaping History, Shaping Tomorrow’ campaign.

Robo Bar- Tokyo Japan

Constructed with a hefty price of 10 billion yen, Robot Restaurant is where gigantic robots and acrobatic female dancers perform wild raving dances right in front of your eyes, literally. Feel free to take photos and even pose with the robots in this chaotically fun venue where everything is alive with neon lights. The restaurant is the newest must-see spot in the Kabukicho district, attracting visitors from around the world, including some adventurous celebrities.
