Current TV Fire Twirler Promo Vid
This is a promo vid I did for Current TV a few months back with footage from the Flaming Aussie set to traditional Japanese music.
Flaming Aussie set to Traditional Japanese Shakuhachi Flute
I re-did the Flaming Aussie vid with music played by a Japanese Shakuhachi Flute.
Also listen to the chirping crickets in the background. When winter comes, this video will remind you of warm summer evenings.
Flaming Aussie!
Here’s a little vid I put together of an Aussie girl doing a bit of flame-twirling on a Sado Island, Japan during the Kodo 3 Day Earth Celebration Taiko Drum Concert.
She currently lives in the Fukushima Prefecture.
About Samurai Dave
Hey,
I’m a vagabond traveler currently teaching English in Japan. I like travel, history, festivals, culture, and good beer. I’ve been to about 30 countries though some no bigger than a kitchen table. I’ve run with the bulls of Pamplona, hiked the Inca Trail, got mugged in Mexico City, floated down the Nile in old boat, climbed the Great Pyramid of Egypt, got ripped at Oktoberfest, and rode the Tokyo Yamanote Halloween Party Train.
This blog is a chronicle of my adventures both current and past along with socio-political commentary and stories on cultural activities. I’ve also recently got into video editing so I’ll be posting more of my video tales here. Ronindave YouTube Site
Enjoy! Tell your friends, leave comments, better yet leave money! This traveling stuff ain’t cheap even though I travel on shoestring that would barely fit a gnat’s shoe!
