"Ginza, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shiinamachi; Tozai, Ginza, Chuo, Seibu Lines, Etc."

This opens with a few HD clips of the Tozai and Ginza lines, and one clip of Chuo-Dori in central Ginza.  After that, there are a lot of clips - Ginza in the rain, Yurakucho, a Keihin-Tohoku Line run from Yurakucho to Tokyo, various views of Shinjuku Station and areas around Shinjuku Station.

From there, I go out to Tokorozawa and ride the Seibu-Ikebukuro Line to Shiinamachi, recording most of the route between Tokorozawa and Shiinamachi - where I exit the train system and record some scenes in the Shiinamachi Station area.  After that are some views of Ikebukuro (not all in chronological order), followed by views of Shinjuku, and several train views.

After all of that, there's a view of an artist rolling out his huge painting on a rooftop, and views of the Tokyo Station area under construction and Ginza.
