I lived in northern Japan as a child, and most of my memories are visual. This stirred many of those for me. A beautiful place filled with beautiful people and a wonderful culture. Very nice work. I hope that I can do something even remotely as good when I get my Z9.
What is the music from 1:16 and out? It fits so well with the characteristics of the beauty depicted. It's unpredictably and pleasant but in a consistent manner, much like the seasons.
