BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

This video was shot in the seaside town of Chatan, located on the Japanese island of Okinawa. Chatan is also the town where I was born and raised. I remember when I was a child, this whole coastal area was just a large reclaimed land and it was really dark at night. I sometimes feel a little sad that the town has changed so much in the past quarter of a century, but I have come to love it more than ever before, now that so many tourists have come to visit. The city has a different look in the morning, afternoon, and night, and I feel very happy when I take a walk while listening to the sound of waves and music.
