And I am out in Ikebukuro exploring back streets and rooftops.

而我在池袋探索后街和屋頂。

My buddy Lucas.

我的夥伴盧卡斯。

Uh Hey guys.

呃 嘿，夥計們。

Mhm Yeah.

嗯，是的。

What do you think of this spot?

你覺得這個地方怎麼樣？

It's pretty good.

這是很好的。

Yeah, I like, I like how you got in here.

是的，我喜歡，我喜歡你怎麼進來的。

You asked.

你問。

I was impressive.

我的表現令人印象深刻。

Sometimes I gotta do is ask.

有時我必須做的就是問。

Mhm Probably just love the light to Ikebukuro.

可能只是喜歡到池袋的光線。

Oh yeah.

哦，是的。

It was like one of my first love's ever in Tokyo.

這就像我在東京的初戀之一。

It was probably like the very first Tokyo area that I ever truly you live here.

這可能是我第一次真正意義上的東京地區，你住在這裡。

I do live here.

我確實住在這裡。

I live here for almost 10 years now.

我在這裡住了近10年了。

But the first time I came here also like I didn't really know what even it was friends were like Japanese friends.

但我第一次來到這裡時，也像我真的不知道什麼，甚至它的朋友是像日本朋友。

They gotta go to Ikea because I was like what?

他們得去宜家，因為我當時想什麼？

Oh you know like when I was that you just don't want to go to all the time.

哦，你知道就像我在的時候，你只是不想一直去。

I'm looking at this beautiful alleyway with sunshine there And then I look over at Lucas there's there's this giant demon behind him that looks like it's about to devour his head.

我看著這條美麗的小巷，那裡有陽光，然後我看向盧卡斯，他身後有一個巨大的惡魔，看起來就像要吞噬他的頭。

So that's the thing you literally step back as you like.

是以，這就是你從字面上看，只要你喜歡就可以退一步。

But I love the way this just cuts through right here to sunshine city up there.

但我喜歡這種方式，就在這裡切入到陽光城那裡。

Mhm.

嗯。

This building sunshine city up here actually has one of the best viewpoints of Tokyo.

這裡的這座建築陽光城實際上擁有東京的最佳視角之一。

Mm mm hmm.

嗯，嗯，嗯。

Pretty much every single time that Lucas and I get together.

幾乎每一次我和盧卡斯在一起的時候。

It's just, it's just rooftops.

這只是，這只是天台。

Yeah, it's like a tradition.

是的，這就像一個傳統。

It just feels so good to be back out and I've been doing so much stuff in the countryside and out in nature that it's been a long time since I've had the opportunity to get into the city again, you know.

回到外面的感覺真好，我在鄉下和大自然中做了很多事情，已經很久沒有機會再次進入城市了，你知道。

Yeah.

是的。

And it's the best time for its nighttime.

而這是其夜間的最佳時機。

Yeah.

是的。

We were going to do it on a rainy night but my camera isn't the biggest fan of the rain so I guess I'll have to be.

我們打算在雨夜進行，但我的相機不是最喜歡雨天的，所以我想我必須要。

Yeah, it's still pretty good though.

是的，雖然它仍然很好。

I think I think I can get a view of the highway over there.

我想，我想我可以在那裡看到高速公路的情況。

That's right.

這就對了。

Mhm.

嗯。

I am already losing track of how many stairs we've done today.

我已經記不清楚我們今天走了多少個臺階了。

That's the key to this man.

這就是這個人的關鍵所在。

You gotta you gotta find the stairs and climb them.

你得你得找到樓梯並爬上它們。

Tell me the story of this rooftop Lucas.

告訴我這個屋頂上的盧卡斯的故事。

Well this is one of the oldest ones that I've ever been to and you can.

嗯，這是我去過的最古老的一個地方，你可以。

So when I started doing rooftops in 2014 I came to this one.

所以當我在2014年開始做屋頂時，我來到了這個屋頂。

This is one of the ones I found because I because I did it started in my neighborhood here in Ikebukuro and this was one of those.

這是我發現的其中一個，因為我因為我做了它開始在我的鄰居在池袋這裡，這是其中的一個。

And so it's like there's nothing like there's no like fancy story but it's just got a special place in my heart.

所以它就像沒有任何東西，就像沒有任何花哨的故事，但它只是在我的心裡有一個特殊的位置。

I guess what I want.

我想我要的是什麼。

I want to say because it's one of the first when I figure it out.

我想說的是，因為這是我弄清楚後的第一個。

But there's some cool views.

但也有一些很酷的景色。

So let's check those out ducts here and then we got sunshine back there which is kind of the star of the show tonight.

是以，讓我們在這裡檢查一下這些管道，然後我們在那裡得到了陽光，這是今晚的明星。

We've we've shot sunshine from like five different views.

我們已經從五個不同的角度拍攝了陽光。

You know how you got the, what's the guy's name?

你知道你是如何得到那個，叫什麼名字的傢伙的？

The 35 views of Mount fuji or whatever.

富士山的35個景觀或其他什麼。

We got like 10 views of Sunshine city but this view is really good right here Lucas has a special love for pipes and ducts.

我們得到了像陽光城的10個觀點，但這個觀點真的很好，就在這裡，盧卡斯對管道和管道有一種特殊的愛。

Big time.

大的時候。

We actually had to climb something like 12 flights of stairs just to get up here this time.

我們這次實際上不得不爬了大約12層的樓梯，才上到這裡。

Not not too bad but it all adds up at the end of the day to get some cardio workout.

不算太壞，但在一天結束時，這一切都會增加，以獲得一些有氧運動。

Yes, so you got Tokyo tower out there and I have a special little love for all the air conditioner units on top, they're they're messy but they're beautiful in a weird way.

是的，所以你有東京塔在那裡，我對上面所有的空調機有一種特殊的小愛，他們是他們是混亂的，但他們是美麗的，以一種奇怪的方式。

Mhm I'm just, I love the colors of Tokyo at night and Lucas makes a really good point of it with over time everything's changing, everything's disappearing.

我只是，我喜歡東京夜晚的顏色，盧卡斯說得非常好，隨著時間的推移，一切都在變化，一切都在消失。

And look at this, look at this view, I love this ok back on topic but especially over the past I'd say year, two years, even decades, Tokyo has seen so much change.

看看這個，看看這個景色，我喜歡這個，好吧，回到主題，但特別是在過去的一年，兩年，甚至幾十年，東京已經看到了這麼多變化。

So many buildings disappear places that we've known and loved since coming to Japan are just forever gone and so we don't know how long spots like these rooftops that we've collected over the years are going to be around.

很多建築消失的地方，我們來到日本後所知道和喜愛的地方都永遠消失了，所以我們不知道像這些我們多年來收集的屋頂這樣的景點會存在多久。

So we've kind of committed to hitting as many of them tonight and over the near future as possible.

是以，我們已經承諾在今晚和不久的將來儘可能多地打擊他們。

One of the big tricks are gonna, we're gonna actually head back down one of the really good tricks that I actually picked up from Lucas, I'd say the better part of a decade ago is when you're shooting night photography, you're going for, you're trying to pick up light, your camera is essentially always just there to grab light.

其中一個大的技巧是，我們實際上要回到我從盧卡斯那裡學到的一個非常好的技巧，我想說的是，在十年前，當你拍攝夜景的時候，你要去，你要去採光，你的相機基本上總是在那裡採光的。

And so if you have an area like this that's really lit up and beautiful in the background, you're likely to get really good photos.

是以，如果你有一個像這樣的區域，在背景上有真正的照明和美麗，你就有可能得到非常好的照片。

But if it's just a dark alley, maybe a long exposure will yield some nice results.

但如果只是一條黑暗的小巷，也許長時間曝光會產生一些不錯的效果。

But chances are you're not gonna get a great photos.

但有可能你不會得到一張好的照片。

Just I say it every time and I'll continue to say it chase the light.

只是我每次都這麼說，而且我還會繼續說，追逐光明。

I'm leaving most of tonight up to Lucas because he's kind of the Ikebukuro expert if you will.

我把今晚的大部分時間留給盧卡斯，因為他算是池袋的專家，如果你願意的話。

So all the pressure's on you Lucas.

所以所有的壓力都在你身上，盧卡斯。

Yeah, no pressure so chill.

是的，沒有壓力，所以冷靜。

One of the things I've always loved the Tokyo and Japan in general is just like if that's the shape of the land they have to work with that is the shape that the building will be and you can bet that there's gonna be some really strangely shaped building squeezed into there as well as well as just this one parking space for this single truck that's all that'll fit and that's all they need.

我一直喜歡東京和日本的一個特點是，如果土地是這樣的形狀，那麼建築就會是這樣的形狀，你可以打賭，那裡會有一些形狀非常奇怪的建築被擠到那裡，以及只有這一個卡車的停車位，這就是他們需要的全部。

It's actually not even that late and I'd say maybe 11 30 at the absolute best.

實際上根本沒有那麼晚，我想說也許絕對是11點半。

But it's crazy how the city just just empties out at night every time I do one of these like nighttime in Tokyo videos.

但是，每次我做這些像東京夜景的視頻時，這個城市在晚上就會被清空，這很瘋狂。

People are surprised at how empty it gets like obviously the main road, there's gonna be cars and people driving around but you get 12 roads into the back street and it's just yeah.

人們對它的空曠程度感到驚訝，因為很明顯，在主幹道上，會有汽車和人們在周圍行駛，但你進入后街的12條道路，就會發現是的。

Mhm Lucas has always for years for as long as I've known him has always found the most obscure spots or moments or points in Tokyo if I I've known Lucas here for well over a decade and I'd say at least half of that relationship has just been running into him on random street corners throughout Tokyo but talking about obscurity Lucas, check this out.

多年來，只要我認識他，盧卡斯總是能找到東京最不起眼的地方、時刻或地點，如果我認識盧卡斯已經超過十年，我想說至少有一半的關係是在整個東京的隨機街角碰到他，但說到不起眼的盧卡斯，看看這個。

It's an entire then I love how it's like do not drink, this is a soup stock.

這是一個整體，然後我喜歡它的樣子，不要喝，這是一個湯汁。

Never seen this machine, but there are more and more weird vending machines like this like there's like a blue bottle coffee vending machine.

從未見過這種機器，但現在有越來越多像這樣的奇怪的自動售貨機，比如有像藍瓶咖啡自動售貨機。

Yeah, yeah, yeah that I saw.

是的，是的，是的，我看到了。

Yeah Cat Street, there's this fancy soda like craft cola.

是的，貓街，有這種花哨的蘇打水，像手工可樂。

Craft holds actually getting kind of big in japan right now.

工藝品的持有現在在日本實際上變得有點大。

Mostly in the countryside out in Chicago.

大部分是在芝加哥的鄉下。

I didn't know that you can buy syrup and you put a little bit of syrup and then some soda water and you make your own basically craft cola.

我不知道你可以買糖漿，你放一點糖漿，然後放一些蘇打水，你就可以做自己的基本上是工藝可樂。

I don't know how to describe it if cola, if there was like a pumpkin spice latte version of cola, that would be it.

我不知道如何描述它，如果是可樂，如果有像南瓜香料拿鐵版的可樂，那就是它。

It's got the cinnamon and the nutmeg and all those other flavors in it.

它有肉桂和肉豆蔻以及所有其他的味道在裡面。

So I think that I haven't had it.

所以我認為我還沒有吃過。

It just sounds like the appropriate and you know what?

它只是聽起來很合適，你知道嗎？

Let's take a peek in school.

讓我們在學校裡偷看一下。

Let me, they've got like a makeshift version and convenience.

讓我，他們有像一個臨時的版本和方便。

Let me grab one break.

讓我加快腳步休息一下。

There we go.

我們走吧。

There we go.

我們走吧。

Okay, you guys for you.

好吧，你們為你們。

Nice.

很好。

Thank you.

謝謝你。

So, I've seen this, but compared to the fancy ones that are like $5 a pop.

所以，我見過這個，但與那些像5美元一個的花哨的相比。

Yeah, I was like, yeah, but let's try it kind of like not sponsored.

是的，我當時想，是的，但讓我們嘗試一下，就像不讚助一樣。

It just tastes like cinnamon cola.

它只是嚐起來像肉桂可樂。

I mean just, it's good.

我的意思是，這很好。

It's good.

這很好。

It tastes like cinnamon cola.

它的味道像肉桂可樂。

Focus our board of Mhm.

關注我們的董事會Mm。

You know what?

你知道嗎？

I'm breaking the rules.

我在破壞規則。

I'm trying the elevator suggest that actually because I'm tired of taking things.

我正在嘗試電梯的建議，其實是因為我已經厭倦了拿東西。

Yeah.

是的。

The risk is if it opens up right into a shop.

風險在於，如果它直接開到了一個商店。

So, and then we pretend like we didn't park our car here.

所以，然後我們假裝我們的車沒有停在這裡。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah, I know this isn't it?

是的，我知道這不是嗎？

Yeah.

是的。

Here we go Moment of truth stairs, right?

在這裡，我們去真相樓梯的時刻，對嗎？

And whatever it is, It's closed.

不管它是什麼，它已經關閉。

Oh no.

哦，不。

Yeah.

是的。

Uh huh.

嗯哼。

All right.

好的。

I'm the first one.

我是第一個。

Yeah.

是的。

Outside of Ikebukuro.

在池袋的外面。

Do you have a favorite area for rooftop views easily Ginza.

你是否有一個最喜歡的屋頂景觀區，很容易就能看到銀座。

That's the place.

就是這個地方。

Which is where we went the last time we did this.

這就是我們上次去的地方。

Yeah.

是的。

And that's why we went there because it's awesome.

這就是我們去那裡的原因，因為它很了不起。

It's great.

這很好。

I kind of want to get down near the train tracks.

我有點想在火車軌道附近趴下。

So yeah, let's do it.

所以，是的，我們來做吧。

I got a good spot for that.

我有一個很好的位置。

We left the door open just in case it oh my bad.

我們把門開著，以防萬一哦，我的錯。

Got stuff just in case it locks on us.

我們準備了一些東西，以防它鎖住我們。

Thank you.

謝謝你。

What's up?

怎麼了？

Yeah, we are.

是的，我們是。

We've got a bit of a cat friend with us.

我們有一個有點像貓的朋友。

It's just staying one floor ahead the entire time.

就是一直保持在一層樓的位置。

Go to our, I don't care.

去我們的，我不關心。

Mm bread little dude, I wouldn't be going on that ledge.

嗯，麵包小傢伙，我不會去那個壁架上。

Oh watch your head.

哦，小心你的頭。

It's almost took mine out, Lucas is freaking out over the cat saying like why doesn't he just go under?

它幾乎把我嚇壞了，盧卡斯被貓嚇壞了，說它為什麼不直接下水？

Why does he go inside?

他為什麼要進去？

I'm scared for the cat, you know, I don't want him to hurt himself, you know, killing there now.

我很怕貓，你知道，我不想讓它傷害自己，你知道，現在在那裡殺人。

Yeah, I hope so.

是的，我希望如此。

I hope he's just chilling.

我希望他只是在發呆。

But he's like, I'm the precipice of death.

但他卻說，我已經到了死亡的懸崖。

Yeah, I realized it's so late.

是的，我意識到已經這麼晚了。

I don't even think they're technically very few are running.

我甚至不認為他們在技術上很少有人在運行。

Yeah, this one is just getting a part.

是的，這個人剛剛得到一個角色。

I think.

我認為。

I also saw a little shrine there when we came around the corner.

當我們來到拐角處時，我還看到那裡有一個小神龕。

I thought that this was gonna be a bridge over.

我以為這將是一座跨越的橋樑。

But it's just the, there's a bridge under right.

但這只是，右下方有一座橋。

There's a bridge, a bridge under, it's called the tunnel.

有一座橋，橋下，它叫隧道。

There's a bridge and there is a ton of, there's a bridge under there's a bridge under.

有一座橋，有一噸的，有一座橋下有一座橋下。

Let's go with that.

我們就這麼辦吧。

There's a bridge under over there and then there's a, get this, get this, there's a tunnel over on the leaving.

那裡有一座橋，然後有一個，得到這個，得到這個，有一個隧道，在離開的時候。

I've dealt with trying this way all, mostly the city has no shortage of little stairwells that you can get access to take photos and whatnot.

我已經處理了嘗試這種方式所有，主要是城市不乏小樓梯，你可以得到訪問拍照和什麼的。

But also this has got to be my favorite part of Tokyo.

但這也是我最喜歡的東京的一部分。

That doesn't matter where you go, you're gonna come across some type of little shrine, he didn't within the back streets, you know, I did this entire walkthrough Osaka and there weren't nearly as many shrines and temples hidden in the back streets of Osaka as there are in Tokyo many times And now that you mention it, that is a very good observation.

無論你走到哪裡，你都會遇到一些小神社，他沒有在後面的街道上，你知道，我做了整個大阪的走訪，沒有像東京那樣有很多神社和寺廟隱藏在大阪的後面街道上，很多時候，現在你提到它，這是一個非常好的觀察。

There's not that many, not like here, this is always something cherry blossom trees, not maybe this one right here, but the ones back there that we passed trying, it's a good cherry blossom spot.

沒有那麼多，不像這裡，這裡總是有一些櫻花樹，也許不是這裡的這一棵，而是後面的那些，我們通過嘗試，這是一個很好的櫻花景點。

It's pretty good.

這是很好的。

Yeah.

是的。

You see a lot of people doing to me, it's not huge but it's nice and you can get really close to the trees.

你看到很多人在對我做，它不是很大，但很好，你可以非常接近樹木。

Watch your shins.

注意你的小腿。

I figured the overhead tunnel will give us better views than the underground bridge because when you're underground, even though you're on a bridge, you don't see anything because you're underground, I'm never gonna live this down.

我想高架隧道會比地下橋給我們帶來更好的視野，因為當你在地下時，即使你在橋上，你也看不到任何東西，因為你在地下，我永遠不會忘記這一點。

Am I technically there are underground bridges because let it go.

我是不是在技術上有地下橋，因為讓它去吧。

But you know this is this is going to be a bit of a digression but Poland, there's a salt mine That you can visit a historical place, it's 1200 years old and when you go into ground in the salt mine, there are bridges because you have to pass.

但是你知道這將是一個有點離題的問題，但是波蘭有一個鹽礦，你可以參觀一個歷史悠久的地方，它有1200年的歷史，當你進入鹽礦的地面時，有一些橋，因為你必須通過。

Give me feel any better.

給我的感覺更好。

Well, you know, it's not unheard of is what I'm saying.

嗯，你知道，我想說的是，這並不是聞所未聞的。

Another thing that I love around here is that pink neon sign for hotel, bar, Crudo, the World Hotel.

我喜歡這裡的另一件事是，酒店、酒吧、Crudo、世界酒店的粉紅色霓虹燈招牌。

But you know neon signs are going away.

但你知道霓虹燈正在消失。

That's another thing that's going away.

這是另一件正在消失的事情。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

是的。

A lot of cool neon signs have been removed and she has a few that are gone and this one is awesome.

很多很酷的霓虹燈都被拆除了，她有幾個已經不在了，這個很厲害。

I love it.

我喜歡它。

Three colors.

三種顏色。

Mhm.

嗯。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

是的。

Mhm.

嗯。

Uh huh.

嗯哼。

Okay.

好的。

We got caught up right here just watching the trains for far longer than I'm willing to admit.

我們就在這裡看火車，時間遠遠超過我願意承認的時間。

Some stairways will be a little yeah, messier than others as you go up and some will apparently have plans.

有些樓梯會有點耶，在你上去的時候比其他樓梯更混亂，有些樓梯顯然會有計劃。

It's actually my first time to see plan.

實際上，這是我第一次看到計劃。

You go a little bit higher.

你再高一點。

Oh, he doesn't change too much.

哦，他沒有太大變化。

But you go up more like a chicken coop up there.

但你上去的時候，更像是一個雞窩在上面。

Yeah, this is weird.

是的，這很奇怪。

Okay, pretty good.

好的，相當不錯。

Got a blank rooftop up here, couple buildings over here.

這裡有一個空白的屋頂，這裡有幾棟樓。

The best spot is definitely down over there, over the staircase we just came up and you've got a dead neon sign here with a clown for car.

最好的地點肯定是在那邊，在我們剛上來的樓梯上，你在這裡有一個死的霓虹燈牌，上面有一個小丑做車。

Okay.

好的。

Yeah, I love that thing, but it's been there forever and I've never seen it on.
