Slowhatch:
I advanced #6 a few frames and got this. Anybody read Japanese? Maybe there's an Osaka connection.

The writing on her lower left is Takeda. It's a geiko place in Kyoto.

#8 is One Waterfront Towers in Honolulu, HI. Can't believe no one caught this one. The pictures are taken from different angles (front and back), but if you compare the buildings in the cap (A) to the the one I found online (B) I think you'll agree with me.
If you look between the towers at the base, both pictures appear to have the same flat-topped triangular shape (obviously reversed). In (A), the brown parking structure concrete looking building on the right base of the right tower can just be seen in the lower left corner of (B). In (A) you can see a two-storied, large-windowed building on the near side of the right tower, just peeking out of the base of the left tower in (B).
There's a lot more 'matches' if you look for them, but it's obvious to me that pic (B) was taken soon after the building was put up, the parking lot hadn't even been put in or the building painted.
Doh!!! All of that work, then I remembered this... below is one of bspencer's eyewitness pics for comparison of what it looked like when the racer's were there. Da-da-da-daaah...
Slowhatch:
Thanks, choroneko. Since we already have a Shinkansen cap, perhaps it's possible for a single Osaka/Kyoto leg? Traveling by train between the two cities would take less than an hour. (assuming, of course, that the Gion Kobu stuff isn't just B-roll)
