Kaiten Camera
May 13th, 2007 by Deas
What happens when you put a camera onto the conveyor belt in a sushi joint in Tokyo? Apparently, exactly what you’d imagine – it goes around filming the patrons. And nobody seemed to mind. Pretty cool. I gotta wonder if they got away with it just because they’re foreign…remember, fellow foreigners in Japan – use your powers for good. (This totally counts.)
I think the part where it goes into the back kitchen is kind of cool. It also sounds as if one of the shop guys followed the camera around a bit to make sure everything went well. You can hear him making remarks as the camera continues its odyssey. What do you think?

what a fun idea
I really like this video
It’s good to see people out together eating and enjoying themselves. My favourite parts are those where the people are just eating and chatting as normal and don’t even realise that the camera has come around 
I’ve seen another version in what looks like a family restaurant. Too bad it was taken of the band by a waiter.
I like this a lot. Kind of reminds me of a bit of video i saw on TV of people on the subway in Japan. Seemed the camera was just sitting in the seat, watching people get on and off the train. It was unnarrated, and nothing special was going on, it was just people on the train. This kind of normal everyday-life stuff fascinates me for some reason.

Yeah, I agree with you FifthDream. I really like every day life stuff. When I used to commute into the middle of Tokyo everyday during my study abroad experience, I would often wish I’d brought my camera along to record things just like this. The one I wish I’d captured the most to this day? Standing at the very back of the train looking through all of the open doors as the train snaked its way down the tracks. It’s just too cool, with the afternoon sunlight and all. Alas, too late now. But I can still enjoy other people’s videos.
Too bad it’s been done
This is great. I’ve always loved watching people doing the most ordinary things, and this video captures exactly that – harmony at its best.
Great idea and really shows a great night out in Tokyo.Now if only someone would do the hostess version. Now that would be interesting.
