Also interesting to see Anime themed food and drink in mainstream supermarkets now instead of just Asian ones.

£3 for a rice ball is pretty steep compared to 100 Yen which is fairly much Japan's equivalent of a £1...

"Yoyogi Tower" another signature of Shinkai movies... and next to it Kabukicho Tower.

Came across a Japan, Yotsuya walking tour vid which fans of Makoto Shinkai's Kimi no Na wa/Your Name might enjoy. Still quite a few Anime tourist fans around during the night. Funnily enough there was a Dandadan cosplay at the shrine xD

Haha, they're selling Nuka-Cola to promote the upcoming Fallout S2. Only in US of course... Seems the brand behind it is used to doing these kind of collabs.

Just realised how much One Piece's Poneglyphs resemble the Keystone from Laputa... Keystone already available as a paperweight from the Ghibli Museum and now One Piece following suit but bigger.

It's just your usual bait video; create content that provokes views. In this case there's plenty of "Japan is awesome!" vids to compete with so let's go with, "Japan is trash." Nothing new really xD

Coming soon. AI data centres cooling causing droughts around the world instead of climate change...

Why does it look like the only gimbals available are Chinese brands only? The West and Japan too slow on catching up with live streaming so there aren't any companies producing any...?

Playing Train Sim World and came across a nice looking coastal route. Too bad the game doesn't have any Japanese trains with routes in Japan #tsw6

Caloriemate Escape... Didn't know they had a drink, just know their biscuits.

Haha, someone created a VR experience of Fushimi Inari. Good for anyone who can't make the actual trip or don't want to just watch a walking tour video.

There's always the risk of turning up the volume and ending up deaf listening to music like this so, wouldn't recommend it😅

Lay down to enjoy some music with a single wireless earbud. Fell asleep, woke up and discovered it was missing. Frantically searched around me and couldn't find it. Then I found it... in my top. Thought, "How did it manage to get in there!?" xD

Akiba walking tour vids always seem to be done by mainstreamers but can still be an interesting PoV. Watched a few of these people's store tour vids and they're pretty good. This particular one toured the new Amiami tower.

Haha, so PS6 is real... Due in 2028. PS5 didn't feel that long ago as well even though it was 5 years ago. Well, guess they need something to compete with Switch 2.

Akiba Atre currently doing an Evangelion collab apparently as part of the show's 30th anniversary. Limited goods and a stamp rally. Walking tour video captured some of the giant window decal vibes outside the station.

Nice walking tour video of Japan, suburban Tokyo around the Nakano-Fujimicho area. Very quiet and peaceful. For one section, all you hear are cicadas.
