BaselWorldis a watch and jewelry trade show already. This video was made by Japanese watch maker CITIZEN and played in their booth last year. The video's name is "Infinity", it's an image of growing and changing Tokyo.
As a Tokyo and Japan video, this was an interesting one, "This is Japan", that was made by Canadian tourist. The video tells well which parts of Japan are interesting, beautiful, exotic for foreign people.
I didn't know Dekotora (decorated truck) and Dekochari (decorated bike) are in Wikipedia for English as they are in Japanese. Satoshi Minawaka is a photographer and here are his photos of Dekotora and Decochari. And you can find more on google image, there are Dekotora of India or Pakistan. They will have such a culture too.
Did I wrote about "Okosama Lunch" before? If you are a big anime fan, you know the word as Lupin the third's anemy, but originally okosama lunch meant the kid's menu in a restaurant that Mitsukoshi department store added to their restaurant menu as a "western food plate for children" in 1930s, then it spread out to other restaurants with common features later that kids will love it! I checked foreign restaurant menus but I can't find any common parts of them. So I guess okosama lunch is a unique food custom of Japan.
Generally okosama lunch is a one plate dish on a compartment plate. As the main dish, there is hamburg or fried chicken or such things kids like. Rice is served like a mountain, and on top of the mountain is a national flag (it's not always a Japanese one). Here are image results of Google. You can see those features. In Japan Denny's has such a type of kids plate too. By the way, usually restaurants set an age limit for okosama lunch ( I read okosama lunch has thin margins because it requires more time to cook) but in okay places, women who can't eat a lot or people on a diet eat okosama lunch. If you come to Japan with kids, please try it, I guess they will like it! By the way, Is this okosama lunch. No they are USB hub and USB memories Cute, aren't they?

Weird. Prefer watching Tokyo the old fashion way. No trick shot.
