New Year’s Eve in Shibuya 2024 – 2025 [4K/HDR/Binaural]

Happy New Year 2025! Join me as I walk through the bustling streets of Shibuya on New Year’s Eve 2024. Despite the official countdown event being canceled again this year, the area was packed with people eager to celebrate the arrival of the new year. Many streets were closed and turned into one-way paths, making it a real challenge to reach the iconic Shibuya Scramble Crossing at midnight. Surrounded by heavy police presence and under strict rules that prohibited stopping, the crowd’s determination to gather at the crossing created an unforgettable atmosphere. Witness the chaotic yet exhilarating energy as Tokyo welcomes the new year!

  1. Happy New Year 2025. Wow that’s crazy crowded. I can’t cope with crowd. They came to watch the fireworks? I’ve got 2 hours left till 2025 in UK 🇬🇧

  2. 일본에는 여자가 없습니까? 전부 일본남 + 외국인남+ 외국인녀 밖에 없나요?
    일본녀는 왜 안 보이나요? 도쿄에 남자보다 여자 인구가 더 많은데도 왜 일본남 밖에 안 보이는겁니까?
    반면에 해외여행, 콘서트, 뮤지컬, 럭셔리샵 이런곳엔 일본남성은 전멸이고 일본녀밖에 없더군요. 해외에서 남성관객들 압도적인 락그룹 이런것도 일본방문 공연에선 관객 전부 일본여자들.
    이유를 물어보니 남성은 일하고 있기 때문에 소비하고 놀고 여행하고 즐기는 그런곳은 여성뿐이다라고 하던데, 그런데 이런 곳에서는 남자들뿐이네요. 신기한 나라네요.

  3. It’s really better off going to Shinjuku for countdown than staying in Shibuya for nothing is happening

  4. Foreign tourists flocking to Shibuya without observing Shibuya City ordinances has become a problem. Due to the weak yen, a large number of these foreigners are coming to Japan, and the security situation is worsening. At the very least, I don't want foreign tourists to flock to Tokyo, so I recommend going to tourist destinations with fewer foreign tourists, such as Hagi, Izumo, Uwajima, Wajima, Aomori, and Yubari.

  5. I don’t understand what the police could do if there is a stampede as at Itaewon in 2022. A bullhorn or whistle won’t prevent a panicky crowd from trampling people. The police should limit the number of people in the street.

  6. 🎀🎉🎊Happy New Year 2025 Japan🎉🎊🎀 🥳 💛🍁from Canada🍁💛 🥳

  7. 一人でいるのが寂ちぃんでちゅね僕ちゃんとお嬢ちゃんたちは。

  8. カオスやな。
    この若者達は一体何が楽しいのか。
    ゲート作って、入場料取って、花火上げたらどうかな。

  9. I wish you a happy and healthy new year. Thank you for the effort for bringing us new videos – all the best for 2025

  10. 日本人より外国人のほうが多いのでは、渋谷の未来が心配だね、ゴミだらけだし

  11. 大晦日は日本人は神社へお参りに行きます、ここにいるのは外国人ばかり

  12. Why go to Shibuya?? It is just a touristy thing. No Japanese citizen is celebrating a countdown in Shibuya. People are only making it difficult for Japanese police officers.

    If you wanna countdown with fireworks go to a different country, please.
