世界遺産　屋久島

Read to find out what the heck this is.

Visuals: These are pictures and short clips I took when I went to Yakushima, a small island below Kyushu Japan that has a population of about 1500 but its BEAUTIFUL. It has some of the the most gorgeous scernery you will ever see. Most of the pictures (mostly the ones in the middle covered in moss) were taken in Shiratani Usuikyo, a forest in the mountains that contains Mononoke Hime no Mori or Princess Mononoke Forest, assumed to be the inspriation for Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece. Yes assumed, I don't think there's any proof of that but it is amazing.
I know there's only so many times you can take a picture of a pretty tree without it becoming redudant but this is mostly for my friends and family anyway. No you won't find any pictures of me in this.

Audio: Yes that is a piano in the beginning playing by itself. The music is from a Musy Tone concert, a international chorus group I was part of at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University where we sang lots of songs from different countries. (Yes I'm singing also in this, I can sing in 7 languages now!). The first song is Magic Castle sung in Korean, the second is This world full of love sung in Chinese, and the last is Negai, a song about wishing for a world without nuclear weapons, sung in Japanese.
