Summary

Daniel meets Elvis the Alien, whose real name is Jimmy, at an Airbnb; deleted GoPro footage and camera gear complicate filming. They pay ¥6,900 for three aquarium tickets, film tunnels and fish, marvel at a large stingray, and choose a souvenir. The group rides an amusement attraction, discusses falling and safety, meets Americans, then eats freshly fried food on sticks amid crowd noise.

Insight

A nervous collaboration quickly becomes low-cost sightseeing and improvised novelty content.
