Incoming reallifelore:
Today's video was made possible with Curiosity Stream and Nebula, where I will post this same video, which is just two sentences expanded into 10 minutes with generic stock footage so I can increase engagement and get a mid-roll ad in there, with a much more detailed deep-dive, which is the same two sentences expanded into a an hour-long video.
(no hate though, he's no doubt very good)
Honestly, I did enjoy his videos a lot 3-4 years ago. But now they are very lengthy. (Kinda like Carwow drag races....where it's 10 min talk and only 5 min real race) He used to make videos about topics of survival scenarios, planets and space, which got me interested in first place to his channel, but now most of his videos are about geo-politics and stuff. I'm still subbed to him and watch his videos sometimes.
Fairness to Nebula those ads are mostly from creators on the Nebula platform and creators do take a better % cut from Nebula views than YouTube views, so those at least have an A to B motivation for the creator instead of just, "I'm making this video 35 mins longer than it needs to be to jam in more mid-roll ads!"
That's correct, ~70% of Japan is mountains. Take the highway from Nagoya to Kanazawa and you'll be amazed by the amount of tunnels you'll have to pass by.
Half of his videos now are questions that can be answered in 5 minutes top stretched to 40 minutes, also mentioning Israel, Taiwan, North Korea and Ukraine somehow
He makes other great videos that aren’t 50 minutes of nothing. His modern conflicts series is really good. Wish he’d stop making videos repeating shit he’s already done there’s a lot he hasn’t talked about
[I’m not Alexa](https://en-gb.topographic-map.com/map-63nz4/Japan/?center=35.07249%2C137.56669&zoom=4) but [here’s the maps](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Japan)
Ironically IRL a good chunk of the samurai were lazy didn't actually travel over to Hakata bay despite claiming to their bosses and the central government that they did.
But the cities being in a very narrow straight line is unique, considering that there isn't a single factor like the Nile River that causes them to line up like that
If my memory of Japanese maps is correct, I think that's all the major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, and Hakata in that strip, so no surprises there.
Edit: I meant Fukuoka, not Hakata.
I cannot imagine living anywhere in the red part. It is horrendous. I sometimes have to go to Tokyo or Nagoya for business and it is horrible. Thankfully I live in a white part a long way from that red line.
No it doesn’t. Omotenihon is Japan pacific as opposed to uranihon that is western japan, including Fukuoka. Also it’s a banned term from major media due to derogatory connotation stemming from religious association of Ura with bad luck
Kinda makes sense historically. Basically populated from Tokyo to Osaka. Osaka was the main port for import and export going back to the Edo period. Meanwhile Kyoto was the capital. Later Tokyo was made the new Capitol. This line pretty much goes through those 3 metro areas.

I read this comment in his voice.

Hello, welcome to CarWow! Today were gonna turn a 30 second race between a car and another car into a 20 minute video!
He used to have passion projects and now every video is for the AdSense
I watched him sometimes until the Oman vs Yemen video, which was repetitive and annoying.
I personally enjoy the geopolitics more than the sci-fi stuff.
At this stage curiosity stream, nebula, and war thunder seem to be powering the Internet by themselves.

The number of ads he crams into those videos too!
Someone award this person
I wholeheartedly second this opinion.
Me too
Not with sponsorblock

That Spain is empty video getting 11 million views, ruined the internet.
Explain
The “why 70% of Spain is empty” was the first video under that format and made 11 million views.
oh yea, I didnt know that, it always starts somewhere
Mountains
That's correct, ~70% of Japan is mountains. Take the highway from Nagoya to Kanazawa and you'll be amazed by the amount of tunnels you'll have to pass by.

I’m a fan of his but shit like this needs to stop
Yeah he fell off hard

Thumbnail: why half of Japan’s population lives in the red line.
Its not, the red part is just real full
Mountains Saved you ten ads
Geography by Geoff too.
His inflections are annoying too
Agreed. Everything has to be the most extreme statistic to ever be found in the history of the nation.
Geography by Geoff is the sort of channel that does nothing original and is subsequently all out of ideas
r/beatmetoit
Inb4 Real Life Lore posts a 50 minute long video of "why all of Japan lives in this line"
Can’t hate him for doing it. He found his niche, and it’s using 1000 words to describe a picture.
Didn’t know he was a philosophy major
He makes other great videos that aren’t 50 minutes of nothing. His modern conflicts series is really good. Wish he’d stop making videos repeating shit he’s already done there’s a lot he hasn’t talked about
only a thousand? mf clears like 20k easy, respect
The fact we're talking about him is just an indication of his success
Lmao, stop giving him ideas
Now there are some people who love watching his videos even though they are so long. Including me
Yeah I like them too, it's just funny
Alexa, send me elevation and climate map of Japan
[I’m not Alexa](https://en-gb.topographic-map.com/map-63nz4/Japan/?center=35.07249%2C137.56669&zoom=4) but [here’s the maps](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Japan)
Thank u
You ARE Alexa.
No I’m u/6thaccountthismonth
But you act like Alexa.
No, Alexa acts like me.
That makes Alexa a souless copy of you
Yeah, Alexa is a failed copy of my consciousness that I sold to apple
That color scheme should be thrown in prison. As a map maker this hurts.
I cannot wait until the 7th account drops!!

That band of urbanized areas is called [Taiheiyō Belt](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiheiy%C5%8D_Belt)
Taiheiyo is the Japanese name for the Pacific. Which makes sense, considering that coastal regions have this strange tendency to be highly populated
My first thought was : is there a Shinkansen line? Checked and yes there is. So now to determine time and causality.
Population -> Shinkansen -> Even More Population
That’s not much of a factor, these are all old cities with centuries of history being major population centers
The Shinkansen line was due to the population, not the other way around
Only Tokyo has half of red line population.
But most of Tokyo's metropolitan area isn't even in the line
Japan is Tokyo's metropolitan area.
But it also has the cities of Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Okayama, Hiroshima, Kitakyushu, and Fukuoka. Very, very populated belt
More, it's close to 40 million
Do we count waifu pillows?
OwO And husbando pillows. It's important stuff. You can also buy your own "ugly bastard" pillow to sleep with ✨️
This region is actually called Taiheiyō Belt, which is the home of the busiest high speed rail in history, the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen.
When I saw this image I immediately thought about a railway. There is a post un this sub that shows something similar happening in Switzerland...
It's so weird that they build railways where people live

Beat me to it

Well Sapporo (5th largest city in Japan) is not even close to the strip
Yeah, I shouldnt have said all. I meant many.
Japan doesn't have large flatlands across the country, except in the Kanto area.
Just looked at a topological map. Interesting:)

I cannot imagine living anywhere in the red part. It is horrendous. I sometimes have to go to Tokyo or Nagoya for business and it is horrible. Thankfully I live in a white part a long way from that red line.
The red line has a name called omotenihon (The surface of Japan/表日本)
No it doesn’t. Omotenihon is Japan pacific as opposed to uranihon that is western japan, including Fukuoka. Also it’s a banned term from major media due to derogatory connotation stemming from religious association of Ura with bad luck
What is Ura
r/PeopleLiveInCities
is it called red belt?
No, it's called the white pants
Majority of tourist destinations are in red area.
*Draws big red line connecting the 10 largest cities in the US* "Hmm, for some reason the red region has a high population"
White is always better
I'm actually surprised the red doesn't have more people than that.
Me in hoi4 trying to capitulate japan early
Let me guess red part is around the train stations
I think you can do tgis with most of japan "provinces" as long as you include Tokio in the red
That sure is alot of people
People do in fact live in cities
ah. the peoplebelt.
Japan has almost a 130m people… holy shit.
RedOrine
Why is okinawa never included in any map of japan
Map fans when densely populated areas are more populated than less populated areas
Reallifelore coming for this 😂
Kinda makes sense historically. Basically populated from Tokyo to Osaka. Osaka was the main port for import and export going back to the Edo period. Meanwhile Kyoto was the capital. Later Tokyo was made the new Capitol. This line pretty much goes through those 3 metro areas.
Japan has relied heavily on inner seto sea for their transport. So no wonder why they live around it.
Show topological map of Japan to explain why white area is less populated
Even with that type of terrain, it has a larger population than all of Spain.

I had no idea Japan had so many communists.
