let me just turn the camera around and
show you guys what this looks like look
at that that's just that's just a nice
view let me set the scene it's nighttime
we are in the Shinbashi area and by we I
mean today and with Lucas and Hanna
[Music]
Lucas has brought us out tonight to do
some exploration of Tokyo what we're
doing tonight is basically walking
through one of Lucas's photo adventures
called vertigo let me show you these
views
[Music]
you'll notice there are chains here
which means this is a no-entry zone this
staircase and elevator has public access
so Lucas does his best to make sure that
we're not breaking any rules in order to
get into these places I think one of the
most impressive parts about that last
spot it was only on the seventh floor
yeah right really high up places are
kind of less impressive in a way too far
above right you get like the bird's-eye
view I mean you might as well just have
a drone yeah but when you're kind of on
the same level as the other building
Lucas has done it once again he's
brought me to a shrine that I was aware
of yet have never been to and that is
cut out somebody shrine right here in
Shinbashi
[Music]
I think it's pretty cool that we get to
see just a little bit of Tokyo Tower up
there I like that but the challenge is
that it's just so dark
[Music]
I like it because you've got like the
dirty kind of grungy looking Tokyo city
side and then you've got like the Walnut
Street here which was really nice I
think we need like some kind of rating
system for like the rooftops
Lucas is saying we should do like how
many Blade Runner is out of ten I'm
going to say how many Lucas heads the
first location how many Lucas heads
would you give that I don't know what to
base it off because they haven't haven't
done to all of them yet
7/7 alright okay maybe it's cuz it's
more why'd she cut Lucas's face in half
I'm glad to hear it because I order them
specifically to get a little bit better
with nice that should be a 10 out of 10
if this is a seven and a half the last
one will be up tonight but the railing
can go here you know and in the camera
like that it just kind of sits there
right yeah yeah that's fairly sturdy
just on my arm so you get a metal
railing you jam it on there and you can
do long exposures but then that leads to
tip number two don't make your exposures
too long without beginning maybe four
seconds for the shots but not going to
30 seconds because when you're on the
railing thirty Seconds gonna be tough I
just like the colors around here - hi
Hannah
[Music]
Lucas farinelli way let's try and see
what happens now this is a pretty shady
alleyway oh wow this place is like a
really really good restaurant actually
this I drew food place yeah I leave you
that's a photo in its own right there
how safe do you feel in here very very
safe I just feel at home really it's
okay I miss jail you're not gonna handle
it
we're searching for the next spot now
Hannah how many Lucas heads would you
give that alleyway at least one is that
a root spot that's the spot between the
spots and we're actually on the roofs
that's that's what counts as a spot so I
don't think you should be raiding those
spots okay
there's a hidden shrine right in here
it's in this video right here
[Music]
it was like a really bright floodlight
over here need an ND filter
how many who this is lovely
hey how do I get the last time it was
nice but we ran into a couple people up
there and they were all like hey how's
it going guys yeah super friendly about
it
speaking of running into people when
henna and I met up at the station
kakie nice to meet you thank you for
coming Oh skanky nice guy nice guy
there's a whole bunch of these mannequin
buildings and I love their science today
this is sadly something that's probably
gonna go away someday
these modern buildings back here some of
them are semi abandoned some of them are
completely abandoned but all of them
make amazing shot also we've been here
for the better part of what I'd say 15
minutes and we still haven't made it to
the roof just because the stairwell
views are just so amazing here
[Music]
how many Lucas heads for this one at
least nine all now the last location is
a bit of a secret so we're gonna go
there this way there we go a large part
of me is curious as to how many Lucas
heads Hannah's gonna get this one cuz
this it's just a nice view just standing
here and looking out let me just turn
the camera around and show you guys what
this looks like look at that that's just
that's just a nice view
Lucas was just saying that the first
time he came up onto one of these
rooftops was about half a decade ago
with a common friend of ours and they
just kind of wandered up there and
explored ever since then it's been all
about finding those open rooftops and
open stairways his big pro tip that he's
been sharing is a if you run into
somebody just be friendly and smile B if
they say please don't come up here then
then don't go up tell them what you do
and just be honest I'm here taking
pictures yeah we've just been taking up
stairwells and maybe one or two
elevators all night we have run into a
ton of people and they've all been
really for anything about it yeah it's
surprising I mean obviously when you
don't break the rules if you do jump
over a fence so they're gonna be last
nights but I've never once had a problem
in these places
[Music]
been up on this roof for probably the
better part of like easily 40 minutes
it's just been like photo photo photo
photo maybe I'll show you a couple like
did you like that one I like that one
how long have you known about this spot
a couple years can I ask how you found
it actually Axl found okay so I found
every other spot I showed you tonight
but this was his spot so from the
outside it's not very like it doesn't
look like a bad plate like it's kind of
inviting right yeah it's like you catch
the elevator go to the top yeah exactly
he doesn't that's for victory exactly
then here Texans like because they found
like the coolest button games oh very
very skeptical but like just show me
next time they blew me away I guess
place is awesome so I wish he was here
but you know he's in Kansai
and as if by magic we are back walking
these streets of Ginza Lucas that was a
lot of fun run I'm glad to hear it I had
a lot of fun and I got a ask I get asked
all right Hanna the big moment that
final rooftop
how many Lucas heads yeah how do you
feel that feel pretty good but I have to
say I expected that if you guys don't
already know Hanna and aren't following
her channel she's she's doing a video on
this as well so I'm gonna link that at
yeah it'll be linked so go check it out
this is something that you're interested
in doing and checking out I'm gonna link
I explore down below it'll also be
linked straight in the comments section
if you have questions about nighttime
photography or any of that Lucas loves
to hang out in the comments section with
me so feel free to ask yeah I'll be
there
[Music]
