Is It OK If We Follow You Home?(2014)

Is It OK If We Follow You Home? is a Japanese documentary series that captures Tokyo's late-night streets after midnight. The show stops random pedestrians—party-goers, exhausted workers, and those who've missed the last train—and offers them a simple deal: let a camera crew follow them home, and they'll pay for the taxi. With no time to prepare, the series documents their homes exactly as they are, unfiltered and intimate. As the night deepens, strangers reveal unexpected moments: old photo albums surface, confessions about gratitude toward loved ones emerge, and quiet vulnerabilities unfold. The series explores how people respond when a television crew unexpectedly enters their private spaces in the vulnerable hours before dawn, creating candid portraits of ordinary lives in an extraordinary setting.
