longzijun | Bixie (Upbeat Jazzy Song) & Tokyo Travel @zijun01 | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Bixie is the 44th song in my Free Background Music Series. This royalty free song is a lively piece influenced by swing music, Latin jazz and electronic music (so it might fit into the Electro Swing genre, though at 96 bpm it is slower than most of the other songs in that genre). The music, photos and video footage are by longzijun (myself).
As with the other songs in the free background music collection, this royalty-free song is free to use for non-commercial projects (and in monetized YouTube videos that are otherwise non-commercial in nature) as long as credit is provided (music by longzijun)
Download links to the WAV and MP3 files are on this page, which also includes more information about the photos (the location, sunset scenes, street art and abandoned van): longzijun.wordpress.com/2019/02/05/travel-video-our-mini-trip-to-tokyo

This song in my Free Background Music songs playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC18F37A8C46DC478
I played this song on a Korg M50 Synth and recorded it using Sonar Home Studio. I recorded the song during the COIVD-19 pandemic, so I wanted to create something upbeat to chase away the boredom of social isolation.
The video footage is of a short trip I took to Tokyo with my daughter in the summer of 2018. She has her own lifestyle and travel channel (her videos are in Cantonese): youtube.com/channel/UC4UNGDKO0eFIgilfpv8qrwg
I shot the video using a Fujifilm X100T, a Sony Nex-7 and an iPhone.
For this trip, we didn't do a lot of activities because Tokyo was in the midst of a record-setting heatwave. We live in Asia and travel to Japan fairly regularly, so in this trip, we didn't go to any of Tokyo's must-see tourist spots, we just went to places that we felt like going to.
Yuigahama Beach
This beach at Sagami Bay is about an hour by train from central Tokyo. It is not a spectacularly beautiful beach, but you can rent surfboards there and get away from the city for while.
teamLab Planets
For me this was the highlight of the trip. teamLab is a collective of artists, musicians, computer programmers and engineers who specialize in creating immersive and interactive light and sound shows. They now have a permanent museum in Tokyo, teamlab Borderless (https://borderless.teamlab.art/), but we went to their recent exhibition at Toyosu: teamLab Planets (https://planets.teamlab.art/tokyo/). Both exhibitions require advance booking. I have a longer video of the teamLab Planets show here: artjouer.wordpress.com/2018/08/21/teamlab-planets-tokyo
I couple of years ago, I stumbled across another of their installations in Kyoto. I have a photo gallery and article about that here: artjouer.wordpress.com/2016/10/19/kyoto-light-festival-at-tadasu-no-mori-and-shimogamo-jinja
Nekobukuro
This was an unplanned visit. While visiting the Tokyu Hands Department store to buy souvenirs, we noticed that there was a cat playground there, so we decided to check it out.
Ueno Park
We went on a Sunday and they had a little flea market there. We also visited one of the temples there (Shinobazunoike Bentendo) but did not stay long because of the heat.
Senso-ji in Asakusa
After visiting Ueno park we went to this large temple complex. That evening was the Sumida Fireworks festival, so a lot of people had taken the opportunity to get dressed up in traditional Japanese attire.
The restaurants
These were chosen by my daughter. A few of them were Ikebukuro—which is a fairly popular shopping district—because our hotel was close by.
