YouTube user cat2525jp takes you on a mesmerizing trip through Tokyo at night on the Yurikamome line. I have no idea how it’s done, I would assume the footage is mirrored, but you never know with these crafty Japanese. In any case, the effects are stunning and the journey seems more like a trip through a futuristic floating city. The musical accompaniment is fantastic as well.
Have a look at Tokyo Sky Drive -Night ver.- 01 below or see it in HD on YouTube.
There is also a version 2 of the sky drive and a day trip through the city. See those clips after the jump.
