九月份逼迫出我的潛能
做了新歌 + 拍了MV + on top of my fitness work + countless overnight 台灣牌+ 兩個船河
當然唔少得打咗好多日排球，雖然呢個係籃球架。

她是德國第一位女總理，也將成為第一位自願卸任的德國總理。在位十六年期間，Angela Merkel  經歷了各種危機，支持者說她是團結大家的務實領袖，批評者則爭論她缺乏了能讓德國與歐洲更強大的遠見卓識。梅克爾本人說，她已盡力，問心無愧。

狙って撮れる景色ではなかったので思わず都心を1周してしまいました！
2021年8月30日、次回の試乗車両ヤマハMT-07の試走を兼ねて湾岸線を気持ちよく流していたところ、なにやら都心方面の上空がザワついている模様。よく見てみると無数の稲妻・稲光が･･･。高層ビル群と稲妻をフレームに収められる機会も少ないと思い、予定よりもずいぶん多く走ってしまいました。今回は狩場線からベイブリッジを渡り主に湾岸線と都心環状線を走行しています。
【オススメの視聴方法】
本編では現場音とエンジン音をミックスして編集していますが、映像音声をミュートして好きなBGMなどを聞きながら観ると全く違った雰囲気が味わえるかもｗ（特に内容は無いので、お酒のお供としても最適！）

This time we visited one of the most mysterious islands you'll ever find in Japan. It is located in the central region of Japan, taking almost 3 hours from Osaka through countless mountains. But once you arrive, there awaits a breathtaking view that you'll never forget.

【About Myself】
I guess I'm a filmmaker, adventure photographer, storyteller, and content creator...
I'm based in Tokyo, doing freelance video work for both Japanese and international clients.
My interest for video grew when I first went backpacking on my own. In the beginning it was just for fun, but I slowly found myself loving to express through visuals.
