Whaaa so fun to see you roaming Tokyo✨✨✨
Music fits perfectly for this night walk stuff 3:29

I agree! (It reminds me very much about interstellar's BSO, by the way)
Was 40mm working for you or you would want to have 28?
Cant wait for the next one ❤
I can't wait to see what the flash brings! Great cliffhanger for photographers ...
What a tease with the flash at the end! Great work all throughout👏
Great work!! Can't wait for the next video!
Oh my gosh, SO fun. You’re an amazing film maker. Are you just in love with Tokyo? It’s a photographers dream. Great work Faizal. Really great work.
looks like different world. Amazing!!!
Incredible work, Faizal! These are my favorite videos you do.
Love Tokyo, so enjoyed watching this. The GR really is a great choice for this environment. Really see the benefits in this video. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see that you still use the Ricoh. It fits perfectly with your POV style and the files are so easy to edit. And that lens…
Fantastic video Faizal, as always!
Some of these are quite exceptional!
Probably the most accomplished photo walk I’ve seen from you. Excellent work!
The colour grading, the bangers, the music, Faizal… you really are good at what you do man👌
Such a great video, love the aesthetic and music all really works. I’m just back from Japan and watching this makes me miss it so much. Cannot wait to return.
Great video! I loved the music
Probably my fav series of scenes from you so far. Great work man. Makes me really miss living in Japan.
Love it, I really want to go there! ❤
Your best one, so far.
Beautiful video, as per usual Mr Westcott :) soundtrack was 👌
What a great video, the shots the composition everything was perfect. Looking for more of japan by your lenses 😍
Very interesting to see your perspective on Tokyo, keep up the good work 👍🏻
thank you for taking me with you!
I love the world through your eyes
Excellent work. Faisal’s version of the”Midnight Diner”!
Bladerunner vibes! Love it.
that was pretty damn cool.
I think this photos felt more personal, amazing shots man :)
I bought in 2020 the X100V (well before Tik Tok and cool kids did!) and at that time I hated, for no reason, the Ricoh GR. I though it was way behind X100s. I sold my X100V in early 2021 (very boring at the end) for an XT3, in a year I went for an XT5, and I was very happy, best decision ever. But I still needed a truly pocketable camera and finally I got my Ricoh GR III HDF. Amongst others, because of you. Well… I’M IN LOVE with it!!!
Was a fun night bro! Hope to see ya in Osaka
Nice video! Very well made
10:35 wow 11:38 also wow, you captured that gritty cyberpunk vibe so perfectly with the photos and music, I love it!
Wonderful view of Shimbashi.
This was quite an experience as someone who doesn’t live or travel anywhere like that. Great video and some great shots in there as well.
Arriving in Tokyo this tuesday. So looking forward to going out with my camera.
Luv your perspective! Hypnotic sound track. Just miss your commentary as it is so insightful. Still very inspirational.
amazing😮
Going to the movies in a great video: story, images, music
Talk about a target-rich environment! Banger of a night, indeed!

The exact phrase I had in mind. I agree about the "Banger" but wow, so many terrific shots. You have a great eye.
Ur my goat fr
Hey man, long time follower, first time poster. Really loved the combination of video, photos and music in this video. Keep it up.
I'm curious about your night street flash photos! looking forward for the next video
All photographers, I follow, here on YT together in 1 video! That´s a nice thing... ;-)
That was damn good 👍👍👍
Awesome shots man. Can't wait for my Japan trip in 2025. 🍻
One day I'm also going to go out at night to do street photography. I thought your work was amazing 👌👍
Superb brooo! Miss shooting with GR3 👏🏽🙌🏽
Hope that there will be more videos in Japan ❤
this felt like a fever dream living in real-time in someone else's memory like in a sci-fi movie
Hey Faizel, may I ask where you get your music from? Love the vibe and richness of the chosen soundtracks underneath the video.
What a great video! This place is a photographers dream! One day I'll go, even if I do have a shellfish alergey :(
That soundtrack is just so sinister.
What were some of your settings for shooting handheld at night there? Thanks.
What did you use to film the pov video? Looks very clean!
im still needing a first camera and was wondering if the Ricoh GR iiix is a good option. I have looked into the regular iiix and the iiix HDF. I love the lool that the HDF produces but is it worth the extra money?
Enjoyed the video and it brought back fond memories of spending time in Tokyo. I would have liked more commentary from you as it would have helped keep me more engaged with the content. Thanks.
Enjoyable, but Liam Wong rules the roost!
what is your preferred shutter speed when you're out shooting like this?
Loved this episode, tokyo seems such a vibrant city! Taking notes because im going to there this october😁 PS :which camera you used to film the pov? dji osmo pocket 3? Love your channel bro!Very inspirational for me!
Great video
thanks for inspiring me again
Nice work, what camera and filter did you use for video? 👍
finally the wait is over. i just love your art! btw, which camera are you using to capture the pov, and that too at the night?

and, omg the choice of background music, just WOW
holy smokes i think faizal peaked
I don't see many of Faizal's night photos, so this one was fresh and interesting. Is it difficult to take photos in Tokyo because there are so many people?
Is all the POV stuff shot on the osmo pocket or Lumix?
3:25, have you tried one with the focus on the edge of the door ?
yea man! I miss your wide angle shot.
10 out of 10 for photography, video, music and editing. Well done 🎉 A bit to good hehe 😂
Beautiful shots. Its funny that people complaining about low night photography with thr Ricoh. Im interesting with AF setting you used on this night journey?
This was fantastic! Are you still using a GoPro and chest mount for POV stuff? It looks super smooth!
Haha Eren is the perfect guide for Tokyo street photography on Ricoh GR iii
I still find it amazing that there are more people living in Tokyo than in my entire country of Australia.
Hello, I always enjoy watching your videos. I want to buy your preset, but when I go into the link, I can't see the purchase button. Where can I buy your preset?
It has to be so overwhelming to shoot there. So much to look at.
tuff!
Do you shoot in auto white balance? Loving the Tokyo videos!
hi Faizal and thank you for all your beautiful videos! I have a question that I cannot find any good answers to - how do people take photos if they have imperfect eyesight and have to wear glasses? I noticed that you do wear glasses sometimes and sometimes don't and you mostly look at your screen while shooting, not through the viewfinder. being prescribed glasses for astigmatism just recently I feel completely lost. like, in glasses things are sharp at the distance but the screen is a semi-blur... help! 🙏
❤❤
Eren and Roman!? You gotta make a podcast or a big cross-over episode. The scene vs the final image or somethingl ike that.
So, if there was ever a reason to go to Tokyo it was watching that film. I think I would run out of batteries and so cards. It was like watching Blade Runner. P.S. Did that Roman Fox guy take any photos or was he there to keep you company?
What part of Tokyo is this? Which station?
👏👏
the ricoh is undefeated
Hey Faizal. Whats the camera youre using on your chest?
Great video! Can you ID the music too?
I'm also keen to know what @faizal uses to review his POV video? GoPro?

@@michaelhall859okay cool thanks, came out so clear that's why I was curious
You are going to visit 大阪 and 京都, right? 関西にも遊びに来てください!!
Song title ??
"The gang goes to tokyo"
I feel the iiix is more noisy than the iii. No ?
Like shelling peas... 🙂
first
Well, well, well…look what we got here 😈😈😈😈
From a photographers point of view I can understand, why Tokio seems interesting. But for me, living there would be pure horror. Loud, tight, full...

Surprisingly, I'd never felt so free in a city. Tokyo seems very crowded and noisy, but there are many quiet and calm streets. It's a very pleasant city to visit by walk :)
lol. dirty look by that lady, I was stopped twice by police in crowded places and told photographing faces was illegal. this was Aug 2023.
I was looking at your older work where most videos had 90% portrait mode photos, made me think you were maybe just a tiktok photographer. You've come a long way.
