And I believe the new building for Chigusa has yet to be completed. There was an announcement about a delay in construction almost a year ago, but no real updates about it since then. Google Maps shows at least some progress on that lot. So, that's a good sign.

Being on the East Coast seeing mellow yellow everywhere. Hearing other people on the other side of the country say it's hard to find is surprising. I enjoy Sundrop over Mellow yellow and mountain dew.

There’s a little tablet off to the left side of the machine. You can order & pay there. There’s also an app that can be used for ordering and payment.

KING is the ‘house’ series of beverages for TASTER Co. vending in Japan. I was also taken in by this logo when I visited Japan and was hoping to get some more info on the company when I returned home to the States since I love learning about logos. I drove myself crazy trying to find any info, but by watching your video, I noticed the phone number on the can and googled it. It led me to the TASTER website which, like many Japanese sites is very barebones and reminiscent of late 90s/early 00s sites so no info on the logo/mascot.

I just started playing Yakuza Kiwami, my first Yakuza game and I'M IN LOVE! Kiryu makes my panties drop, Majima scares the shit out of me when he jumps out of cracks in the pavement, I spent WAY too much time trying to get the little monkeys in the claw machine game and I am obsessed with collecting the bug ladies even though I neither like insects nor am I a lesbian. I could go on for hours listing out all the things I enjoy about the game and I have only played it for maybe 20 hours or so.... the FIRST game.... I cannot imagine what else Ryu Ga Gotoku has in stock for me. I haven't had so much fun in game in a long looooong time even though I usually play great renowned games, both old titles, classics, indies and an odd GOOD AAA title. Thanks for creating this comparison. This is so cool to see.

Great video ! The vibes are overall pretty similar , after looking at the place in google earth the biggest difference between the game and real life seems to be the west park area , in the game the park area is huge and to the north east while in real life the part is smaller and to the north west .

The biggest difference I've noticed is that interestingly, real life Kabukicho seems to be emptier. I know it's probably more populated at night, but still in the Yakuza games, the streets were always filled with pedestrians, often so much so, that you couldn't move without bumping into someone.

Man oh man. You have made me unreasonably happy with this. So surreal that I'm watching these 20+ years later now that my Japanese is, I would like to think, a little bit better. I started watching these around 8th grade or early high school with Kinpachi Sensei (back when it was Channel 18 and not 44), and some of these commercials have really stuck around and I remember a lot of these. I didn't see the commercial I was really looking for, which was a Yamamotoyama commercial (or maybe Aojiru?) that included the lines: "Number one!" "Gooooood!" "Totemo oishii desu ne!" But I do remember "Arigatou, ii kusuri desu!", and I recognize that guy, so good job on making that guy the thumbnail. Maybe the commercial's in another one of your uploads... (saw 'em all, it's not) I saw Koi ga Shitai back then too, and I was able to download the series from a torrent site called D-Addicts. I think I burned that to DVD somewhere. I did download its sequel, Motto Koi ga Shitai, but I lost it in a hard drive crash, and the guy who uploaded it is an insane prick who took down all his uploads for some reason, so no one's ever seeing it again. Not like he created the shows himself or anything, you know? Anyway, consider me subscribed.
