This video, titled "[4K] 35 Jets in Heavy Snow! Winter Plane Spotting at Sapporo New Chitose Airport / 新千歳空港 JAL ANA," was released by " j-sky on YouTube." This video shows over 30 minutes of airplanes departing from and landing at New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido. One of the features of New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido is that planes can take off and land even on snowy days. In Japan's Honshu region, flights can be cancelled when there is a lot of snow, but Hokkaido's airport is unaffected by a little snow. The Hokkaido area is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Japan. If you want to enjoy the snowy scenery, try to get a plane ticket on a snowy day like the one shown in the video!

This video is titled "E5 Series Hayabusa Cutting Through the Snow at Koriyama Station - 60 fps Version" (雪をも切り裂く郡山駅でのE5系はやぶさ通過　60fpsバージョン). It was released by "YUSETSUMAN TRAIN VIDEOS." This is a video of the E5 Hayabusa cutting through snow at Koriyama station. The Tohoku Shinkansen E5 Series Hayabusa is a 10-car shinkansen that went into service in March 2011. It attracted nationwide attention when it debuted with the highest domestic operating speed of 300 km/h and introduced the industry's first Grand Class train. This is a 60fps video that is made up of twice as many still images per second, so even the snowflakes look smooth.

This video, titled "A Powerful Snowplow on the Soya Main Line [DE15]" (豪快に排雪する宗谷本線ラッセル【ＤＥ１５】), was released by "m6s24hst." This video shows a wedge plow clearing snow on the Soya Main Line in January 2010. It was snowing continuously and the whole area turned to white. Watching the wedge plow blowing away the snow in such weather conditions is an exhilarating sight. The trains have wedge plows attached to the front of them, and they cut through the snow like butter, blowing it to the sides of the track. In Japanese, these are called "russels," which comes from the name of their developer, J.H. Russell. These wedge plows are essential during winter in Japan.

This video, titled "Reverse thrust on taxi way? JAL 747 Memorial #003 : 747-446D [JA8083] at CTS/RJCC : Landing," was released by "j-sky on YouTube." It's cool seeing the large aircraft land and go down the runway, but how does an airplane land and stop in the first place? After the aircraft lands it glides for a while, then slows down and comes to a stop. When an aircraft moves on the ground under its own power, it is called taxiing. In order for an aircraft to stop successfully, they choose a runway with a headwind or a system of reverse thrusters that directly thrust upward at an angle. So many different things go into the safe landing of an airplane.

The Nissan GT-R This video is a promotional video of Nissan's GT-R, titled "Nissan introduces GT-R in Hong Kong." It was published by Nissan. The video was produced to celebrate Nissan's introduction of the 2018 GT-R R35 to Hong Kong. Skyline GT-R is highly popular all around the world. This promotional video shows the excitement brought about by the arrival of the latest model, which many people admire, in Hong Kong. In this article, we will introduce the appeal of the Nissan Skyline GT-R alongside the video. The Skyline GT-R Photo：Nissan The Skyline GT-R is a luxury sports car produced and sold by Nissan. The GT-R is the highest grade of Skyline produced for racing. The one shown in the video is the R35 GT-R, which was introduced to Hong Kong starting with the 2018 model. Starting with the R35 model, the "Skyline" crown has been removed and it's now the "GT-R." It's an ultra-luxury car with a price tag of over ¥10 million (~$95,000 USD), but it's one of the most popular cars in the world. Apart from the newest model, the R35, other popular models from the past, including the R32 at the beginning of the video, the R33NISMO400R at 0:28, and the R34V Spec II Nur at 0:41, are also featured in the video. The history of the GT-R dates back to the 15th Tokyo Motor Show in 1968, when the Skyline GT Racing version, a successor to the Prince Skyline 2000 GT-B, which had been active in touring car racing, was exhibited as a concept car with a Skyline 2000 GT-B body and an in-line 6-cylinder DOH engine. In 1969, the first Skyline GT-R was made commercially available based on these specifications. It has a distinctive appearance with four round tail lights. The Skyline GT-R has also been known as "Hakosuka," "Kenmeri," "R," and "Suka G-R" (in Japan). Many people were captivated by the Skyline GT-R, customizing and modifying it to their own tastes. Today, the GT-R is sold at specialty GT-R shops. Since it's a high-octane gasoline car, its fuel consumption is poor and its maintenance costs are high. However, the tires last longer than ever before and the oil change costs are slightly lower, making the car more affordable than when it debuted. The Appeal of the Skyline GT-R Photo：Nissan GTR The Nissan Skyline GT-R is one of Japan's most iconic high-performance cars. It features a dedicated engine and equipment built to maximize its power in auto racing. The R32, which debuted in 1989, is one of the most popular cars in the GT-R series, with used cars being sold abroad often. The R32 was created as the culmination of Nissan's technology, with the goal of creating a car that could win the All Japan Touring Car Championship. It was equipped with a twin-turbo RB26DETT engine and entered the All Japan Touring Car Championship in 1990. Its design gives off a proud aura and has a charm that draws you in. The Ford Sierra RS500 also participated in the championship, but the R32 was overwhelmingly fast, lapping other cars for the win. The R32 was a first-class car in terms of design, features and equipment, and its subsequent models were also built without any major changes to the design concept or basic engine settings. Summary of the Skyline GT-R Source :YouTube screenshot "Nissan introduces GT-R in Hong Kong," published by Nissan, is a video that introduces the appeal of the Nissan Skyline GT-R. It's a must-see for car fanatics as you can get a close up look at the popular GT-R series. You can also see the Skyline R32 GT-R, Skyline R33 GT-R, Skyline R34 GT-R, and other famous cars of the past.

The crew members cosplay as ninjas, and at 1:04 in the video, you can see the local Mascot greeting tourists at the station. It's well received by children and foreigners. The JR Kusatsu Line has direct service from Kyoto Station in the morning and evening, so transportation access is excellent!

Introducing Itasha! Have you ever heard the word "Itasha"? In this article, we'll introduce the Japanese pop culture "Itasha" alongside the video, titled "OTAKU CAR HEAVEN 痛車天国2019," produced by "Rescue the Princess!" The video is an introduction to the Itasha event "Odaiba Itasha Heaven 2019" held at the Odaiba outdoor special venue in 2019. Itasha is a form of otaku culture, and is a car with an exterior designed with an anime or game theme, featuring beautiful girl characters or heroines. The name "Itasha" (痛車) comes from the characters "痛" (pain) and "車" (car), literally meaning "painful car," as some people find them painful to look at. Source :YouTube screenshot There are small itasha with stickers on the hood, doors and other parts of the body, as well as fully-wrapped cars with film affixed to the entire car. You can see a number of Itasha throughout the video. In the past, "otaku" culture used to have a somewhat negative image, but now, with the popularity of Japanese anime and manga overseas, "otaku" are respected as authorities and professionals in their field. Fully-wrapped vehicles and airplanes have also appeared in public transit agencies such as airplanes, trains, buses, and motorcycles, and they are very popular with young children and in the otaku community. These vehicles, which are derived from the Itasha and wrapped with characters, are called "Itansha" (motorcycles) and "Itadensha" (trains). In addition to Itasha, you can see a custom bicycle (Itacheri) at 0:22 and a scooter bike (Itansha) at 1:02 in the video. Making Itasha Source :YouTube screenshot Since Itasha designs are based on characters that appear in other works, they are copyrighted. However, since the character Hatsune Miku, which often appears in videos, is a free license, there is no copyright issue if you design your own vehicle with Hatsune Miku. Also, each vehicle can be designed however the owner wants it to be, but if you're a hardcore otaku, you can make your own design with paint and cutting sheets. Recently there are even companies that specialize in Itasha design. Even if you're not an otaku, you can just get a professional to do it for you. In some cases, companies produce itasha by advertising and collaboration, and collaboration itasha, such as Evangelion and Re:Zero, (Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World) were also a hot topic. As for Shinkansen, there is an Evangelion train called "Type EVA" vehicle, and the interior even uses the colors of Evangelion's first mech. Some manufacturers have asked for image collaborations with luxury cars for popular works. In particular, anime and games such as Gundam, Macross, and Super Mario prove the importance of Japanese culture through Itasha.

Introducing "Lady" "C571 SL Yamaguchi-go - Lady's return!- 2019 Oct 19-20（C571 SLやまぐち号 【貴婦人完全復活！】 2019.10.19-20）" is a 4K video that captures the steam train that runs between Shin-Yamaguchi Station and Tsuwano (Yamaguchi Prefecture) on the JR West Yamaguchi Line. In 2019, SL Yamaguchi-go celebrated its 40th anniversary since its return. A commemorative event held at the relevant stations and in the train, attracted many fans. The old-fashioned steam train chugging along with smoke coming out of its stack, its whistle, and the steam shooting out the side is spectacular to watch. Enjoy the video of the retro-chic locomotive train. About the Steam Locomotive, SL Yamaguchi-go Photo：The SL Yamaguchi-go C571 The steam train C571 was withdrawn from mainline service in 1965, but made a comeback in 1979 owing to the passionate requests from local enthusiasts and steam locomotive fans. As of November 2019, it runs between Shin-Yamaguchi and Tsuwano that takes about 2 hours and only runs on Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. This elegant machine is popularly known as "Lady". Steam Locomotives are powered by a steam engine: The water contained in a boiler turns into steam when heated, and creates high pressure. Because of this, steam locomotives puff black smoke and big gray clouds of steam when they depart (seen in the video from 1:21). The video shows the SL Yamaguchi-go running through the autumn landscapes in the area stretching between Yamaguchi city and Tsuwano. Cosmos flowers swaying in the wind along the track present an astonishing coincidence of mixed colors, making a fine contrast with the black body of the steam train (from 6:25). You can take beautiful pictures of the SL Yamaguchi-go when it crosses Tsuwano Bridge, or passes by Honmonmae Crossing, Nakaza Crossing, or Nayoshi District. The impressive sight of the train making a turn on the railway turntable also offers a perfect photo opportunity. The SL Yamaguchi-go typically pulls 5 coaches, but occasionally gets double-headed with another steam locomotive, D51200 (Degoichi)

About Suzuki's KATANA Photo：Suzuki Motorcycle The KATANA, a masterpiece of a motorcycle possessing Suzuki's own sharp and aggressive form, was born in 1981, some 40 years ago. At that time, its unparalleled sharp design captured the hearts of riders and spawned a loyal following. The first classic KATANA type was the GXS110, a prototype with a cowling that was announced at the 1980 motor show in Germany. At that time, opinions on the radical design with a motif of a Japanese sword were divided, and it was said that it would never be mass-produced with such a design. However, mass production of the old KATANA began in 1981, with only the 1100cc variant being released. But its popularity grew and it was made into a series of 750cc, 400cc, and 250cc variants. The development was temporarily discontinued in 2000, but the older models are still incredibly popular to this day, and used and custom bikes are sold at high prices. The GSX250SS KATANA, a faithful reproduction of the first KATANA released in 1991, is said to be the most popular of the successive generations that have been released. More About the Latest KATANA Source :YouTube screenshot In 2019, Suzuki announced the long awaited production of a new model KATANA. Prior to this, the KATANA 3.0, a prototype of the new bike, was unveiled at the EICMA 2017 Milan show and generated a lot of buzz among bikers. Suzuki’s flagship model, Suzuki Naked, is used in the new KATANA’s engine. It also has a full LCD-type multi-function display, which improves the visibility and operability of the fuel consumption gauge and speedometer. The new supersport bike has a more distinctive appearance with a sharper cowling than the KATANA of yesteryear. Summary of Suzuki’s New KATANA Source :YouTube screenshot The new KATANA was launched in 2019 to the delight of many motoring enthusiasts, and thanks to improvements to the engine and suspension, it takes less time to reach top speed. The new Katana's design is sharper and more ambitious than ever before, and it's sure to attract both old fans and newcomers to the bike.

This deterioration was due to the effects of the snow-melting agents. The movie “Truck Guys” which was released in 1975, sparked a boom in popularity and many people began making dekotora. The famous vehicle "Ichiban boshi" which appeared in "Truck Guys," was turned into a plastic model and became very popular among children at the time. Unfortunately, the movie "Truck Guy" received complaints from the police due to its explicit depictions and the movie was discontinued. Because of this, the dekotorora craze slowly began to fade away. Currently, with movies such as "Dekotora Girl Nami" and "The Eagle of Dekotora," dekotora have once again gained public attention.

This video, titled "River construction by Komatsu Heavy Industries, CD110R" (コマツ重機による河川工事　 駆け巡るCD110R), was released by "OKはん." It shows the Uji River construction in December 2017. There are several heavy machines being used, but what is particularly eye-catching is the crawler dump truck running around in all directions without worry about the poor traction. Crawler dumpers can turn 360 degrees without having to change direction, so their movement is very smooth. The crawler dumper improves the efficiency of transporting on uneven or soft ground. This video shows how a crawler dump truck carries sand and soil scooped by an excavator out of a muddy area and onto land.

This video, titled "Sea Log of the Floating Hotel, Guntû. An in-Depth Report on the Interior, Guest Rooms, and Meals" (海の上の旅館guntû(ガンツウ)乗船記?船内、客室、食事徹底レポート), was released by "おのだ/Onoda." Guntû is a luxury cruise ship operated by Setouchi Cruise Lines, based on the concept of "a small inn floating on the Seto Inland Sea." Guntû is the nickname for the small blue Asian paddle crab found in the Setouchi area. When you think of a luxury liner, most people tend to think of a large ship, but the Guntû is a small boa, at just 81.2 meters long and 13.75 meters wide. It has a total of 19 cabins with a capacity of 38 passengers. It's a tourist boat for the wealthy, with prices starting at ¥400,000 per night for two people. The video introduces the interior furnishings, which are carefully designed using products from the Seto Inland Sea coast, as well as the onboard facilities and amenities. The food is also very particular, with a focus on carefully selected local ingredients. You can enjoy Japanese and Western cuisine, sushi, and sweets.

This video, titled "[Massive Ship] ORIHIME｜Ore Carrier｜Nippon Yusen NYK｜Kanmon Straits 2016-OCT" ([巨大船] ORIHIME 鉄鉱石船 Ore carrier 日本郵船 NYK 関門海峡 2016-OCT), was released by "JG2AS." Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) is a Japanese shipping company and cruise ship operator. As you can see in the video, ORIHIME, the NYK ore carrier, is massive. It's 330 meters long, 57 meters wide, and weighs 132,464 tons. The ORIHIME travels to Australia and other countries to transport overseas ore to Japan. This video was shot at the Kanmon Straits. You'll often see huge ships like ORIHIME docked at ports around Japan, so be sure to keep an eye out for them when you're at the docks.
