Tokyo Lens

Japan is ranked as the single noisiest country on earth by the World Health Organization. In a major metropolis like Tokyo, it is not uncommon to be bombarded with constant sounds more than double the recommended "safe" volume.

In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we talk a bit about the craziness that is Japan's Noise Pollution Problem

Doai station is both Japan's Deepest and Creepiest train station. Built in the 1930's and with trains still running, it looks more like ruins than an actively used train station. As we walk down into the depths of the station, I record a bit the sounds and experience for you and we talk about the potential of a follow-up to the video that went up on YouTube.

What do Japanese people think about their own country? Especially the youth... Do they love it? hate it? are they completely indifferent?!

Japan's next earthquake coming. The past week or so has been ripe with earthquakes and the news is talking about it quite a bit. But then again... they've been saying that the next big one is coming since the last big one in 2011. It just goes to show that you never really know. It could be today. And so today, we are talking about being prepared and what to expect.

In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we are talking about being prepared for earthquakes and touching on what to expect. This is really meant to be a starting point more than a finishing point, but I hope it helps.
