Truly stunning aquarium, Lovely music. Here is text from the post on Vimeo:

This is just one shot.

It was shot at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan.

The main tank called the 'Kuroshio Sea' holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.

The music is "Please don't go" by Barcelona. Buy this song on the iTunes store: bit.ly/1zAVu

This was shot using a Canon 5DMKII with a 28-135mm lens.

I saw a nova episode about how they made the main tank glass/acrylic from 2 pieces since it is so huge, they had to specially make it so the joined section wouldn't show. This is one of those things that is worth traveling to see.

This has become my favorite video. Amazing amazing amazing.

I've been there during my traveling days... simply stunning. I wanted to get the job of the divers who feed the fish... it looked amazing!

They should have just used Transparent Aluminum.

This is wonderful. Pity it's just got 18 votes.

I've lived on Okinawa about 4 years, just got around to the aquarium a few months ago. It's great.
