I'm american and very much not fluent in japanese. These are just some basic phrases. Sorry for any pronunciation problems. Lol i just thought this sentence was amusing.
Crowded diner/restaurant in tokyo. This is a stereo mixdown of a 4 channel surround recording i took in a crowded restaurant in tokyo. You can hear a a lot of conversations, some waiters and lots of utensil sounds. Most of the conversation in the background is in japanese. I think i heard some english when i edited this, but i'm not really sure. Anyways, good stuff. Mics were places at a 20 degree and 90 degree angle and then later mixed down to stereo. Enjoy!.
I like this catchy melody of tokyo trains, i decide to make my onw remix, this is play in real time using my 2 hands, no edition, no sequencer, just real time!. Using my roland gw-8 and recorded with audacity. .
Coffee shop in tokyo. Lots of background noise and conversation. Staff is cleaning. Espresso drinks are being made. This recording was made with a stereo pair of mics placed at a coincidental 120 degree angle. I rolled off the low end at 28hz to remove the sound of coffee cups being set on the counter where the mics were placed.
This is a piece of an announcement made in japanese in the small town of kawaguchiko near mt. Fuji in japan, about a month after the earthquake and tsunami of 2011. The hotel staff told us the message said that, due to very good work of the people in rationing their power usage, there would be no power outage that night.
