/jp/ - Otaku Culture

There are like 50 threads here already that janitor hasn't deleted yet and about 1000 more on >>>/trv/ and >>>/out/

>Otaku Culture

>>11275900
crossie-kun is MAD

Only if they're streets relevant to otaku culture.

One time I made one of these threads and I posted streets from Birmingham or somewhere. There were even English policeman and ambulances. The janitor didn't notice.

remember when we could have japanese streets threads without retards coming in and harassing everyone?

>>11275947
Remember when we could have NEET threads, Formspring threads, Sion threads, Atelier threads, Sudo threads, and role-playing threads?

Oh, how the good old days are over!

>>11275953

>>11275958

>>11275955

Who the FUCK doesnt enjoy looking at pretty japanese streets. I swear you guys are bitter as hell.

>>11275968
They are, it's pretty sad.

>>11275968
Make a thread about Japanese dogs and cats. Dogs and cats are kawaii as HELL (equally, fuck the fanboys) but I literally GUARANTEE you it would get deleted.

Japanese streets are beautiful. Got this from a thread earlier this year.

>>11275972
But cats are kawaiier

>>11275973
>>11275974
Pretty sure they were from the same thread. Glad I'm not the only one...

>>11275992
Man I love Twilight.

It's my favorite time of the day.

>>11275992
That's pretty bright for a streetlight.

>>11275975
Wrong.

Whelp let's see how long until I'm banned today.

I love the attention Japan gives sidewalks.

>>11276024
Is is really against the rules to post Japan streets here on /jp/? Because that's fucked up.

>>11276044
Low-angle shot of that tower.

>>11276039
It isn't in neo-nu/jp/ where 'Japan x General' is desirable.

>>11276020
Is you

>>11276059
This one. Not so kawaii. Please post kawaii street.

>>11276066
Cleanest motherfuckin' back alley.

>>11276068

>>11276075

No smoking sign on the road.

Stop it. You're making me unironically want to go to Japan. It's not like I even care about the country, or anything.

>>11276066
>>11276078
What are those tube things on the left side?

Country roads~

>>11276127
I don't know, looks like water filters.

This thread is hell a boring.

Why don't you losers just go to Japan and see this shit in real life?

>>11276210
The same could be said of any thread.

>>11276210
why don't you like get a job and experience otakudom in japan

I love these streets!
Do you happen to have any with cherry blossom trees in them?

>>11276244

Do any of you guys watch softypapa?
He goes on so many adventures in Japan, in the streets and forests.
Some day I want to be just like him.

>>11276300
This is pretty cool but I'd rather watch a Japanese guy doing the same thing.

>>11276165
>even nip pollution is cute
No it isn't.

>>11275895
that pic looks like counter-strike global offensive

does this count as otaku relevant street?

>>11276397
or this one?

>>11276402
not, how about this one then?

>>11275906
Streets are more otaku than lets say Japanese culture or Japanese history.

>>11276341
stay away from me fucking weeb

I like powerlines and the poles with transformers on them, especially the more complicated ones with lots of lines coming through them.

>>11276485
I like that too.

>>11276485
another one

>>11276485
oh you mean something like this? yeah japan is full of powerlines, transformers and other stuff above your head.

大内宿
Ōuchi-juku

it has thatched roofs!

>>11279666

>>11276181
This is so clean, it's almost scary. Reminds me of that city they Higurashi was made after.

>>11276300
I'm glad you brought him up. You should see his other channel called Youtube Bullet Train. It's shorter videos. I've bought some things from his store when he used to run it himself. You would get a little personal thank you from him when you bought stuff.

>>11279773
He seems like such a humble and nice guy, he really inspires me about Japan.

Watching his videos, I've found out that if I ever visited, I'd most likely just walk around old trails or towns taking pictures.

In his recent video (where he talked about the downsides of living in Japan), he did mention that to live in harmony there you had to "give something up", and I didn't quite understand what he meant by that.
It's left me wondering.

>>11275973
I'd love to drive on a street like that. Must be friggin' awesome on a nice day. (and hella scary during a storm)

I don't have that many great street shots, especially night shots, since my camera is kind of cheap.

Here is Higashiyodogawa-ku.

What I really like about Japan are the tiny shops you can find on street corners.
Weather it be tiny ramen shops or a small farmers market, they always seem so welcoming.

Especially if there are no doors, but instead cloths hanging near the entrance.

On the way to Osaka Gakuin Daigaku from Itakano.

Time to go to school, /jp/!

Bridge we crossed every day to get to school.

House we passed every day to get to OGD. Fancy place in between two rivers.

Some pretty massive carp live in that river. You could hear them at night, splashing up at the surface.

Umeda at night.

>>11279829
Pretty

>>11279827
0/10 riverbank.
Woud not lay down and rest on after a lazy school day.

Umeda, crossing to the Osaka Station. In the Osaka Station is the pokemon center. If you ever go to Umeda, it's easy to get to the center. If you are in the building with Big Man, you need to cross to the other station, then just follow the signs.

Crossing from one station to the other. There is a giant ferris wheel in Umeda (it's actually directly right of me in this picture). If you get lost, orient yourself from that, since you can see it form just about any where.

>>11279847
You put effort in this thread. Thank you for all your hard work.

Also it's Golden Week, which is why the street is so busy. Umeda tends to be fairly busy, but not always this packed. Normally you tend to see a lot more people at night.

>>11279847
Funny photo, the lens makes it look like the buildings are inclined

Back in Itakano. Just some random sign and a dirt path. None of my night shots turned out here, unfortunately. I still didn't know how to set up my camera, and I didn't have a tripod.

>>11279851
Your welcome.

>>11279854
It's because of my Panorama mode on my camera. It does some weird things when you use it.

Best night shot I got...

Walking up the path to Kiyomizudera, so see lots of little shops like this.

Bus station to go to Kyoto.

>>11279880
What's with all those gaijin? Is that your anime club?

Looking back down the hill after reaching the top.

The path to Kiyomizudera is a long one. Very very very long.

Near the grounds for Kiyomizudera proper.

>>11279882
It's my study abroad group. So I guess sorta kinda.

More walking around the grounds.

Final shot before actually reaching Kiyomizudera.

Inside the gates that lead to Kiyomizudera now, looking over the temple. The path down there winds around a few times.

Final shot of Kiyomizudera before the graveyard, which leads directly to a nearby street. The temple feels massive, but it's actually kind of compact.

Trying to keeps shots limited to streets, but it's hard to not show off temple stuff. You can see how much I'm skipping by reading the file names.

Any way, this is part of a huge graveyard. Like I said before, it leads directly outside the temple grounds.

A few streets in Gion Corner. Awesome place everyone should visit if they are in Japan. Go during Golden Week, you get to see maiko and geisha.

>>11279901
Did you meet any little girls that look scary with knifes in their hands?

I don't know which temple I took this picture from. It's jarring to be walking inside a temple, turn a corner, and then see this. The temple is right next to Gion Corner.

More Gion Corner.

>>11279906
No, but one person in our group ended up being called "Onii-chan!" and was followed by a little girl while he played his 3DS...It was loli-tastic.

>>11279901
Feel free to zip the rest up and upload it somewhere once you're done, I'd appreciate it.

There are very few empty alleys in Gion Corner. Even if it's a bit blurry, I was glad to get this shot.

So I'm goign to have trouble explaining this, but the slates and paper in the doors is important. Gion was a pleasure district, and at night these paper doors would be lit enough that you could see the shadows of people inside. It was to give the illusion of good times going on in there, without giving away what is going on. Japan is all about the "illusion" of something being more important than the something.

>>11279915
I have 25 gigabytes of pictures and video, with roughly 2,667 pictures. Sorting those out would take...time. =|

A very lucky panorama of Gion Corner without people walking in the way.

>>11279915
I'll at least see if I can figure something out while uploading.

>>11279934
Gion Corner at night. We just got done watching a theater sampler where I thought I lost my camera bag. Turns out it just slipped into my seat...Almost lost a lot of photos and my spare battery.

>>11279934
It's fine, don't worry if there are so many.

>>11279938
Not in Gion anymore. We decided to eat as a group, and out professor started hauling us around. Seating 12 Americans, 3 of which are of considerable girth, isn't easy.

>>11279941
Some parts of Japan just look cool at night...

>>11279944
That's true. Post more of these if you can.

Converting the next set of photos now. I have my photo sets organized by day. If you ever travel, do that. If you organize your photos by day, and add i some notes, it makes recalling some things much easier.

Namba is awesome. Go to Namba.

>>11279956
It's been a while since I've gone through my pictures. I'll see if I have more awesome night pics.

>>11279965
Seriously, Namba has a place called DenDen Town. Everything you can find at Akihabara is here, only cheaper.

>>11279967
It would have cost $40~ to get a picture with her. Some people in our group went to a maid cafe near the end of our trip. They said it was pretty "meh."

>>11279970
I wish I could find more pictures without my groups heads in them, but I tended to fall behind to take pictures...

>>11279972
So how about that advertising in Japan, huh?

>>11279970
>It would have cost $40~ to get a picture with her.
Holy shit what

>>11279977
Game Centers are just about everywhere. Nearly every one is identical too.

>>11279979
Yeah, they charge for photos. I think it's cheaper if you are a paying customer, but i'unno.

>>11279982
Seriously guys, Namba.

>>11279984
View from a Game Center. I assume the wire is there to prevent someone from committing HONORABLE SUICIDE when they loose at Tekken.

>>11279985
It's impossible to go hungry in Osaka. There are places to eat on almost every corner. We also used to pass a guys house going to Aikawa station. He would make Takoyaki outside his place to sell. He didn't own a shop or anything, he just made cheap takoyaki because he could.

>>11279984
Oh I've been to that exact same shop. The area around Namba and DenDen Town is really weird. It's sort of like taking a portal back in time like 10-20 years in how some things are as compared to Tokyo. Especially how people act and react I find.

>>11279990
Some Japanese places have weird names...The REAL name of this place is "Rice and Liqour," and is run by a guy who invited us for Nomihodai and Tabehodai more than a few times. First time cost us $10, after that he just invited us over because he was a cool guy.

>>11279992
The student group in 2013 lived in Tokyo and Osaka. Every one of them preferred Osaka since the people were a lot nicer, and the prices were more reasonable.

We went into one card shop before, and the hallway leading in was filled with gatchapon...all of them were related to H series in one way or another. It's amusing to watch kids try to get the gatchapon to work without using money, then they see some gaijin watching them and the get scarred off.

Namba is great.

>>11280000
View outside our apartment window.

Looking for more photos now. Might take a minute.

>>11280001
I THINK this is from an alternate path we took to get to OGU (I spelled that wrong earlier as OGD. It's supposed to be Osaka Gakuin University in english, so I get confused).

Japan is a fun place to walk around in.

>>11280003
Three shots from a night walk in Itakano.

>>11280006
The BEST place for cheap food. Not too far from our apartments either.

>>11280007
REALLY good place for food. That little place to the left of the shop is unmanned. It's full of stuff to buy, and a lock box. That's it.

>>11280008
Shot from the OGU campus. It's a very nice campus. Even though we weren't studying Japanese (only theater), we were forbade from speaking any English while in certain parts of the campus. The students at OGU signed a contract to not speak anything but Japanese while on campus, so speaking English would have been hard for them to hear, or too tempting to get them to not talk in Japanese.

>>11280009
Here is a shot of something neat. These trucks play music as they go down the road, since the roads are super tight in residential neighborhoods. In some places that truck barely fits, and you have to stand next to a light pole so it doesn't hit you. The drivers have special keys and tools to unlock those guard things, and can move them to get back onto the main road.

>>11280009
I don't understand. What kind of sense is that supposed to make?

>>11280011
Crossing guard, back in Umeda again.

>>11280015
The ferris wheel at Umeda. You can see it from nearly everywhere.

>>11280014
The idea is it forces students to use Japanese. I guess they thought that punishing students would make them use Japanese more or be afraid to use their native tongue or something? Our group was supposed to be in one of the buildings on OGU where we could speak English, but they ran out of classrooms, and we ended up in the international building. If we had to see our CET rep, we had to ask her in Japanese if we could use English, and she would shut the door so we could talk. It was weird.

>>11279965
>>11279967
I wouldn't say it's cheaper. Shops always charge their own premium and at the end of the day if you buy something new then you might as well go online to get it if you want the cheapest prices.
I don't think the prices are that different like if you get a $500 doll you might save about 5% by going to Osaka instead of Tokyo. It usually costs around $50 to get the cheapest nighbus one way between the cities so if I roll with those estimates say you're in Tokyo, there and back you spend $100 travel costs and so you would need to spend $2000+ to recoup your "losses" for travel costs. And about 5k to make it interesting in terms of profit/savings but if you got 5k to spend then you don't really need that little extra.

For comparisons on non-new stuff I once saw a dengeki collab figure that had a limited production of like 1000 and was being sold in Mandarake in Akiba for about $200 unopened and I think that is a pretty fair price whether opened or not. The same applies for Wonder Festival figures that can go for anywhere between a +10% to +100% markup in Akiba with some places giving a +500% markup. The prices really aren't that different in Osaka except maybe they don't have as many shops selling one or two items for tourism prices. On the other hand I once got some nice hard to find rubber Touhou keychain things for about $20 or $30 each in Namba.

So I wouldn't go to Osaka to save on otaku goods but maybe to get a better selection and to visit the town and experience the atmosphere.

>>11279970
Sounds about right. Osaka maid cafes are known for being bad.

>>11280021
Street performers are everywhere in Umeda. It's great if you love buskers.

>>11280014
This is something that is done at a lot of other campuses too, especially if you are doing intensive language courses. JCMU offers intensive courses where you have to limit your English use as much as possible.

>>11280025
Also porn is sold outside shops because why not?

>>11280023
Well, either way Osaka is a great place over all.

>>11280021
>>11280025
Right, I thought they forbade Japanese people from speaking languages other than Japanese. That would be weird.

>>11280028
Another busker.

>>11280032
Sorry for the confusion, I should have specified more. There is a place in OGU where students can go to speak in English. It's a small room where Japanese students go to practice English, and it gives students who speak English a chance to talk in English without repercussion.

>>11280000
Tokyo prices really aren't that bad. You just have to know where to go. Also the price of a melonpan at the FamiMa or the price of a play on the Arcade machines is still the same. It just depends on what you're doing I guess?

For example if you go to a nightclub in Tokyo or any similar event you will probably pay $30 minimum entry fee and $5 per drink. But you can still get a beef bowl with rice and unlimited water for $5.

I'm a little divided on which I prefer between Osaka and Tkyo but I think I really do prefer Tokyo because of Shinjuku, Ikebukuro (otome road yay) and Nakano Broadway.

>>11280028
Yeah Osaka is pretty awesome and it's close to Kyoto too which deserves a visit and only an hour or so on the cheap commuter train if I remember correctly.

>>11280046
A street fesitval in Namba. I'm really picking and choosing some photos out from this day, since I have far too many.

>>11280033
So where we first arrived in Itakano, this house was just a concrete slab. They built nearly the whole thin in 30 days. I'm not sure if that's really fast or not, but it was impressive to walk by every day and see pieces of this place just appearing.

>>11280047
I still haven't learned what this type of street dancing is called. Saw a lot of this later on the news at night.

>>11280028
Is Japan a nice place overall?
Is there a lot of discrimination towards tourists between areas?

>>11280048
No, everyone is very friendly and helpful. I don't know where this image of Japan as a bunch of xenophobic assholes came from.

If you live there a long time, there will be small things that grate on you, but the odds of you being refused service or denied somewhere are slim to none (unless it's something seedy or that requires Japanese knowledge)

>>11280046
For an entire house in a month, that's pretty fast.
I remember building a fence with my father back when he wasn't sickly, and even with about 6 people it took us a bit over a week.

>>11280051
That's good to hear, I just wanted to make sure from someone who has visited.

Almost everything I've heard is people saying how friendly and polite the locals are there.
Like if you have a map out, people will ask if you'd like directions.

>>11280050
It's awesome to watch.

>>11280048
Try not to act like a tourist if you are worried. They tend to be more friendly towards students and people who tell them they are there to study culture, but even so they are pretty nice. We got tons and tons of help from random strangers. Also don't be surprised if you get invited out to drink or to someones home.

>>11280051
The only issue we had was when you walk by the people screaming for you to go into their restaurant, they would flat out ignore us, or even stop shouting period until we walked by.

>>11280056
Taiko.

>>11280054
To be fair, their houses are tiny. Also it wasn't 100% when we left (I shouldn't exaggerate too much), but it couldn't have been more than a week away from being done.

>>11280062

That's some good quality images man.
Do you use a DSLR?

>>11280062
This woman...she had to of been out there for hours yelling. I don't know which food stall she worked for, but I doubt they pay her enough.

>>11280058
My professor got intentionally lost when he first went to Japan. He got on a train, rode it as far as he could, then walked all the way home. That's how he learned to follow directions in Japanese...

>>11280065
I bought a Sony DSC-HX9V before leaving for Japan. I got it on clearance since Best Buy was trying to get rid of it to make room for some new sony line of cameras. It does awesome day time shots, but night time leaves a lot to be desired.

>>11280064
I love this picture even more now.

>>11280069
More Taiko. My memory is absolute shit when it comes to names, so I can't remember what this festival is called. I actually managed to get lost following this. I eventually wandered into a train station where the ticket master guy helped me to figure out how to get home, and also showed me that the train names can change at night. If I had my map, I would give an example...

>>11280074
There were a lot of high school girl bands at the festival...

I have to admire Japanese students for having to wear some ridiculous outfits in the summer. Girls in their skirts and big ass coats, in dark navy blue. Boys in black long sleeve and dress pants...(at least the students near the high school where we lived)

would it be safe to walk the streets alone at night? when I go, I wanna try to find that place under the bridge from chuu2.

>>11280078
Some shots of the OGU campus while waking around...a footpath is just a street...for feet...

>>11280082

You would probably be safer than in pretty much any other western city at night. Isn't the crime rate really low in Japan?

>>11280083
It's a nice campus.

>>11280082
Safe enough. Two of the girls in our group were followed a few times at night though. So...not as safe for women?

If you are worried about Yakuza, or violence groups, don't worry too much. Yakuza are chill as hell with foreigners. I was followed once and had a group of guys laughing about how they could push me on a nearby train track, and no one would care because Americans die all the time. Then they veered off towards an arcade...Good times. My take away from that is that they are big on talk, small on action.

>>11280091
Waterfalls er'ry where.

>>11280089
It's incredibly low, yes.

>>11280074
>/jp/

>>11280091
let me clarify quick, I wasn't followed by Yakuza, just some guys who thought they looked tough. A tough Japanese punk wears all black, knee high boots, has a couple piercings, and super poofy hair. T Hey look goofy.

>>11280095
The OGU campus is open enough you can just walk in to take pics if you want.

>>11280095
That's a really nice fish eye shot.

I love cat2525jp's videos, they're so peaceful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM3edyA-yiM

>>11280097
You can see the clock tower from pretty far, so just like the ferris wheel in Umeda, you can use this to orient yourself if you get lost.

>>11280101
the train rides are very relaxing

>>11280103
>>11280104
Trains, you say?

>>11280101
Nice.

I'm skipping some historic landmark stuff because it has no streets...also I'm running out of time.

>>11280110
Converting my next batch of photos. They are way too big for 4chan.

best thread on jaypee, too bad we're almost at the image limit

>>11280095
thats still spooky. btw, is it easy to get molested by woman on a train?

>>11280115
Actually, does anyone know if Irfanview can do batch resizes? that would be awesome...

>>11280116
Glad I could contribute. Once the limit is reached, I'll have to head off.

>>11280117
Only in packed trains as far as I know. No one in our group had issues. Well, one girl in our group kept wearing VERY low cut shirts, and couldn't understand why guys kept looking at her. Japanese woman tend to dress fairly conservatively, and for a reason. My friends bust is probably on many, MANY Japanese men's hard drives.

>>11280122
I'm skipping some things to show you guys something amazing. The fabled Drunk Salary Man! This poor guy tried so hard to get in that chair, but passed out right there.

>>11280127
And here is another guy. Don't know how he made it down the stairs...

>>11280134
I wish I had a lot more time to show you guys more.

>>11280138

>>11280138

why not just make a new thread when you think you'll have time? IE 1800 EST or something?

I also really appreciate you showing us all your pictures anon!

>>11280144
I recommend against that. We can only have these kinds of threads every couple weeks. Otherwise people would get angry and start spamming them with the usual garbage.

>>11280144
Because I'm on a wonky ass schedule, or else I would start a new one now. The next time i would have a chance would be like...midnight -5 GMT, but even then I doubt Ill be able too I've been at this for two hours or more.

I'm glad you like the pictures though!

>>11280146

What a Shame about that.

>>11280142
Trying out the blur function on my camera. How artsy!

...Okay it's amateurish as hell, but I don't care.

>>11280155
Here is a picture from Takarazuka. If you get a chance to see a performance by the Takarazuka troupe, it's pretty awesome.

>>11280158
Here is that house from before.

Some alley way in Namba. We are just off of the Namba dotonbori.

Remember to ALWAYS walk down random alley ways in Japan. They contain amazing things.

>>11280169
Things like this.

>>11280173

That's kinda deep. It's like he's been sitting there in meditation and never moving an inch until moss covers his whole body, and still he doesn't give a fuck.

>>11280198
Well, that's it. The image limit has been reached. Hey, it's been fun sharing these with you guys. You have seen most of the more important photos. If I ever bother to sort through and make up a .rar or something, I'll post about it. Maybe I can get to it soon.

I love those paper lanterns.

>>11280215
I found a place to buy them, but for some reason I didn't. It wasn't until the last day I thought "Oh fuck I could have had a giant lantern that said Ramen on it!"

>>11280219
So you went to Japan to study abroad?
Only for a limited time I suppose?

>>11280198
I love those tiny, white tiles. It looks so modern and civilized.

We left on April 29th and came back May 30th.

It was the first Faculty led trip by our university in a long, long time, so we were a test group to see if it was a good idea, so our stay was limited The downside was we had almost no time to do a lot of things. The upside is it was cheap as hell, under 2K for some of us. This years group went for 6 weeks, and lived in Tokyo and Osaka. They also studied Japanese and theater, unlike our group which only studied theater.

The thing about Japan is, none of us had culture shock GOING to Japan, but we had massive culture shock coming home.

>>11280235
Japan is a pretty clean county, over all. We did walk by one river where people kept throwing their trash though...

>>11280246
Why the culture shock upon return? You mean like how stuff just gets done without much complaining and time wasting? Maybe the vending machines and other conveniences?

>>11280304
I mean that you get used to people being nice to you, even if it is only at face value. Airport security in Japan is pretty awesome. Arriving is quick, and leaving is quick.

Returning to America, you contend with people being, for the most part, stuck up bastards. Our first experience back in America was watching TSA agents yell at Japanese people who didn't have their customs slips out. One guy got grabbed, and pulled over to the side with an agent yelling in his face, and shoving a sample of the slip in the poor guys face because he didn't have it out. Immediately following that, another TSA agent went into one of the girls from our trips bags and pulled out some glass hairpins wrapped in newspaper and cloth. After examining them, he just threw them down next to her bag in the little bins, and broke them. You could hear them crunch when he did =\

You just get used to people not being complete assholes.

What does the sign with 18 on it say?

You will never live in Japan.

Stop obsessing over it.

Stop mooching of your mothers and get a fucking job.

>>11280364

get a load of this dweeb commander

>>11280364
>Stop mooching of your mothers and get a fucking job.
lol

>>11280364
Hey guys, gets a load a dis one.

>>11280332
I'll see if I can figure it out.

>>11280364
I just got a job, and I'll continue mooching off my mother, thank you very much.

you'll have more money than you'll know what to do with

>>11280325
That sounds more like a problem with America than anything else.

The only time I had something thrown away was when leaving Japan and it was just a drink despite the fact you can buy drinks after the security checkpoint.

In UAE they can be strict until there are huge lines and then they just pile everything through the scanners and shuffle people through.

In EU countries they just let you get through with no fuss and just randomly pick people out to search. If they find you with something weird like doujinshi they will make a fuss or call in specialists but usually let you keep it all. Generally a mix of being very PC and mildly passive aggressive.

In Autralia they seem more like the EU but they will confiscate anything they're not sure about.

In the UK they will be pretty strict about regulations too and may or may not verbally treat you like some sort of criminal. But that's about it.

>>11280364

Have withstood trolls to obsess endlessly over Japan.
Yet this body will never live in it.
So as I pray, unlimited mooching works.

>>11280401
I'm having no luck with the Kanji. Any one else know what it says? I'm sure we were told while we were there, but that was a year ago...

>>11280452
Heisei year 18, Houzenji (temple name) side street.

>>11280466
Thanks. The only part I could read was the top line. I have a terrible time looking up Kanji, especially when it's as blurred out as this.

Image limit!
Make a new thread please.

Hey guys, I'm the one who posted all those pictures yesterday. If I make a .rar of these pictures, and a lot more, where would the best place to upload them be? The file/files is probably going to be pretty massive.

>>11283057
Mega?

>>11283057
I guess Mega would be fine, as the above anon suggests. Please do it, I'd really appreciate it.

>>11283102
I'm sorting my pictures now. I'm trying to keep classmates out of photos as much as possible, and avoiding blurry/bad photos. There are some that got goofed up because of my panorama mode, but they still are kind of neat.

All right guys, uploading the photos now. It's a 5.61 GB file, and it looks like it will be around 2:1/2 hours to upload if nothing goes wrong.

HEY DIDNT YOU READ THE SIGN
DIDNT YOU READ THE SIGN

THIS BOARD IS FOR TOUHOU
TOUHOU ONLY

IF YOU ARENT POSTING TOUHOU
THEN
GET OUT!!!

>>11283331
I wish you luck.

>>11283427
>>11283331
So Mega just re-set my upload to 3% for no reason, when it was at 99% with 5 minutes to go...M...maybe a torrent site would be better? Suggestions?

>>11283644
Try to put it on mega again, chances are it's cached.

>>11283647
It started over on it's own. Do you mean I should cancel and try again, or should I ride this out? It would be another 2 1/2 hour wait as it is from the looks of it.

That reminds me of the opening scene from Family Project.

Okay guys, it finally finished. Password for the zip: shashinda. All I ask is that you guys don't pass these pictures as your own, and that's it.

Some photos have peoples faces blacked out, since I didn't ask them if it's okay to use photos with them in it for this. As for all the random Japanese people: pfffft.

Photos are in chronological order, and haven't been re-sized, hence the massive size of the file.

All photos are in Osaka. They range from places like Higashiyodogawa-ku, Itakano, Namba, Nara, Umeda.

Thank you so much, whoever posted this.

>>11284263
You're welcome.

>>11284234
It took a good while, but I downloaded it and holy shit I like these pictures. Thanks a ton. Wow.

>>11284512
Thanks, I do (did) what I can (could).

I wish my GPS function worked in Japan. You guys could have used the exif data to see where these were all taken. If my memory wasn't so bad, I could tell you right where everything was.

awesome photos and awesome thread best on jp in a while happy I caught this.

does /jp/ know of any tumblr blogs that post streets?
