    Your film quality and editing is superior to so many other vloggers out there. Most videos out there seem very...gray in palette, very flat and crumbly with no sense of flow and atmosphere (or else they're like some Adderall-fuelled music video, saturated yet empty). I enjoy your strong aesthetic vision, beautiful capturing of atmosphere and gorgeous crystal clear colour and sound. Your gear must be expensive but you're patently exploring, experimenting and working really competently with it. Gorgeous videos. I'm thinking Ralph's the one responsible for the stunning quality of the visuals? Team effort, but just wanted to give some props to the technical wizard behind these beautiful videos. Much appreciated! Love the lingering shots, the detail of price tags and other aspects of daily exploring which so many other vloggers completely overlook in their trend-happy, generic videos.

      @RalphSam  4 місяці тому +8

      Thank you so much for your kind comment ❤️ While we both split video footage duties, the beautiful editing credit rightfully goes to my beautiful wife Sam. Her keen eye for clipping and stitching together a video is second to none, with my music scoring only tying it up in the end. Again, thank you for making our day. We're returning to Japan this spring so that should be another fun video for all of us to enjoy 🌸

    I love your vlog 💕💕💕 When I was a student at Tokyo University of the Arts about 30 years ago, Ginza was an exciting city with hundreds of contemporary art galleries, a mix of luxury brand boutiques and art galleries. Today, there are only a few art galleries in Ginza.
    As you may already know, the Okuno Building (Ginza 1-9-8) is photogenic and wonderful.
    Futaba Zushi (4-10-13 Ginza) is a classic Edo-period style sushi restaurant (no photography allowed inside), loved by Kabuki actors, and recommended for lunchtime.🍣🍵

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  5 місяців тому +1

      Hii there! Yes, you need to bring your passport with you to get the tax refund. Whenever you purchase something worth ¥5000 and above, you are qualified to get the tax amount back in cash. Usually there is a tax refund counter. Unlike other countries where you get the tax refund at the airport. Hope that helps!
