Sorry for the delay in posting a new video after my last upload. The truth is, I already have a video fully edited and ready to go—but this time, I wanted to try something a little different.
Before making it public, I’d like to share it exclusively with those of you who follow my channel closely and get your feedback first.
You can watch two versions of the video using the links below. (At the moment, these videos are only accessible through these links.)
Both videos are exactly the same in terms of content, but there’s one key difference:
• The first version has background music throughout.

• The second version has a nature ambient sound only, just like my usual walking videos.

I know some of you watch my videos not just for the scenery, but also as a way to relax or unwind. So, as a bit of an experiment, I created a version that’s more focused on relaxation by adding calming music.
This is the first time I’ve added music to an entire video, so I’d really appreciate your thoughts. Please let me know what you think, or if none of these quite fit how you feel, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
Thank you as always for your support!

I’ve just started a new series called the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line Walking Tour. There will be 9 episodes in total. So far, I’ve already filmed some during the day. But I’m curious—would you rather watch videos shot at night instead? If the content is the same, do you prefer nighttime walks over daytime ones?

I uploaded a Kawazu Cherry Blossoms video 2 hours ago. But I'm sorry I discovered an audio error and I had to pull it. I'm in the middle of fixing the issue now, so please be patient. The video will be back soon.

About four months ago, I stopped including the intro in my videos, where I briefly talk about the content. This was because I was experiencing severe dizziness at the time and could no longer spend as much time creating it.
Thankfully, thanks to all of your support, I hardly feel dizzy anymore. While I know the intro helped me connect with my viewers, leaving it out has saved me a lot of time. That said, I’ve also received requests to bring it back. I remember many of you saying you’d support whatever I decide, but now that I’m feeling better, I thought I should ask one more time. I’d really appreciate your honest feedback!
What do you think about the intro I used include at the beginning of my videos?

About a month ago, I stopped uploading videos for a while because of my health problems. In fact, I still feel dizzy from time to time, and my dizziness has made it hard to sit in front of the computer and edit like I used to. So, I decided to stop making the intro at the beginning of each video to avoid feeling dizzy so often. It’s been about a month since then, and I hope you're already used to no longer hearing my "Hello YouTube!" at the start of the videos.
Since I stopped doing the intro, it’s been a huge time-saver, and now I can upload videos I shot just a few hours ago. This has been such a pleasant surprise for me—I’m now able to upload almost every day, like I have this week. I'm not sure if I'll ever get over my dizziness, but even if I do, I'm thinking of leaving out the intro for good. What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments!

I apologize for not uploading videos as frequently as before. I'm still dealing with the health issue and can't stare at the computer monitor for long periods to edit. So, to avoid that, I've decided to skip the intro segment, as I mentioned in the latest video. Starting tomorrow, I'll begin uploading videos without the intro. I understand some of you like to watch my videos while doing something else, and maybe you prefer it that way. What do you think? Let me know how you like it when I publish one tomorrow at 9pm JST! See you then!

Thank you so much for all the advice. I went back to the hospital where I had seen an eye doctor before. At that time, he said there was nothing wrong with my eyes, so this time I went to see an ENT specialist.
She checked my ears, put some special goggles on me to examine my eyes, and I even had a hearing test. But I was told that my dizziness wasn’t coming from my ears.
She suggested I see a general physician and a neurologist, so I did. I had a blood test and a brain CT scan, but nothing abnormal showed up.
Some of you who follow me on X might remember that I was dealing with palpitations last December, which were caused by work stress. Around the same time, a psychiatrist diagnosed me with depression. When I told them about it, they encouraged me to continue seeing my psychiatrist.
I rarely experience palpitations anymore, and I don’t feel depressed these days, so I’m at a bit of a loss. But I’m willing to try anything at this point. I’ve even started meditating and I’m thinking about trying out some of the suggestions my viewers have shared with me. Thank you so much for all your responses. I’ll keep you updated if anything changes with my health.

If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it. My dizziness has returned, but I've noticed it tends to happen when my eyes are extremely tired. I went to an eye clinic, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with my eyes. He referred me to a larger hospital, but they told me the same thing there.
However, when my eyes are severely strained, I've noticed that I get dizzy when I move my eyes side to side, but not at all when I move them up and down. The doctor suggested I see an ear, nose, and throat specialist instead, but I'm not sure if that’s the right path. It may have something to do my brain.
I apologize in advance if I need to pause updates on my channel again, but I’ll do my best to avoid that.
PS: What’s really frustrating is that in many clinics and hospitals in Tokyo, you have to make a reservation to see a doctor. I’ve been feeling dizzy all day, but I wasn’t able to go to hospital today.

Hi everyone, I wanted to give you a quick update on my health. Fortunately, the dizziness that lasted for about a week and a half has finally gone away, and I can walk straight now without staggering. For a while, I had to stay in bed because I felt like I could fall at any moment, but I’m feeling much better now.
That said, the cause is still unknown, and I’m a little worried if the symptoms might return. But sitting at home worrying won’t get me anywhere, so I’m planning to start my rehabilitation this week with a few shorter videos, around 30 minutes each. Thank you all so much for your support— it truly helped me get through this, and I would have probably still been stuck in bed now without it.
I can’t promise for sure that I’ll upload a video this week, but I’ll do my best. Fingers crossed that the dizziness doesn’t come back!

いつもこのチャンネルをご視聴いただきありがとうございます。チャンネル登録者 7 万人を目前にし、これからも多くのビデオをお届けするつもりでございましたが、大変残念ながら、8/31公開予定の動画をもってこのチャンネルの更新を一旦休止することにしました。楽しみにしてくださってた皆さん、本当に申し訳ございません。
この決断に至った背景としましては、次回公開予定のビデオを撮影した次の日から激しい目眩がするようになり、動画の撮影から編集、アップロードに至る一連の作業が困難になってしまったからです。
できるだけ早く復活できるように努めますが、それまでの間少しお休みをさせてください。体調がそれほど悪くない日には、今後の詳細は X (旧Twitter) @VSV_Japan で報告させていただければと存じます。
少しの間のお別れになることを願っていますが、みなさんもどうぞお身体にお気をつけください。次回お会いできる時を楽しみにしております。
Thank you very much for your continuous support and for watching my videos on this channel. As we near 70,000 subscribers, I had planned to bring you many more videos. However, it is with deep regret that I must announce a temporary pause in updates after the video scheduled for release on August 31st. I sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the upcoming content.
The reason for this decision is that the day after filming the next video, I began experiencing severe dizziness, making it difficult to continue with the filming, editing, and uploading process.
I’ll do my best to return as soon as possible, but for now, please allow me to take a break. If my condition allows, I’ll provide updates on X (formerly Twitter) @VSV_Japan.
I hope this will be a brief farewell. Please take care of yourselves, and I look forward to the day we can meet again.

Hello, YouTube. I’m Yoshi.
This channel takes you on walking tours in various locations across Japan through 4K/HDR videos.
At the beginning of each video, I provide a brief overview of the content, giving you a general idea of the location. Additionally, in the description section of each video, you'll find the walking route we took on Google Maps, in case you're interested.
The audio is recorded in binaural, offering a truly immersive experience when watched with headphones.
Lastly, I have a second channel called "Spatial Video Street View Japan 3D," featuring content filmed in 3D. If you are interested, check it out using the link below!
Thank you very much.
