[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Hey, Beatle Brad. I did film the Beatles section in one store but I couldn't fit it into this video. Maybe I can make a second video with some of the other unused footage. Did you see my video on the Elvis and Beatles flexi-disc?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoizgIyArNGDj8k Thanks a lot!

I‘ve enjoyed it very much and it was very well made and entertaining! Thank you for sharing your day with us. See ya soon and we keep on rockin‘ !!! 😊🎉❤

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Thank you kindly. It was a fun trip.

[@theelviscupguy56]

Another great video 😎

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.

[@Kurtis-Schubert]

Thanks! This was so much fun to watch. You earned that Sapporo!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

It was most refreshing. Thanks for watching.

[@SuperAtlantis1]

Great records you have. I enjoyed seeing Tokyo and the people. Would love to go someday.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Please do! Most people love it - for a holiday. A few mad people never leave.

[@Pauls_Archive]

Great video David, being in the U.K. I found watching Tokyo on camera fascinating. Some very nice pick ups too, All the best, Paul 🇬🇧

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Thanks, Paul. I would have included more Tokyo footage if I'd held the camera horizontally instead of vertically. Don't know what I was thinking.

[@erikb835]

Great video as always greetings from the Netherlands 👌👍

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Thank you very much!

[@johandelclef3201]

That first gold records pressing is awesome, no logos on front... just the main thing! Cool!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Yes, I was surprised to find that one. Thanks for watching.

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

What a beautiful looking downtown, would love to visit there one day. And wow you found some great ELVIS music as well . Love the last two albums you showed , I'm guessing they are some sort of bootleg recordings? But still would be great to have.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Tokyo has lots of downtowns. I think I included footage from three different areas, all miles apart but still within the Tokyo metropolitan area. I shot a lot more but didn't realise I was holding my phone vertically until late into the day. If I'd shot the footage horizontally, I'd have included more. Yes, the last two LPs are Taiwanese counterfeits. Thanks for watching.

[@malwalsh]

That’s a great selection of items there my friend, looks like a good day out for me! thanks for sharing my friend!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

It was a fun trip. Next time, I'll remember to turn my phone round so I can film horizontally. Thanks, Mal.

[@user-um5cl8xi9e]

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

[@anthonykerr311]

Nice thanks 😊

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

You're welcome, thanks.

[@Jelvis-e6c]

Great video, David. I'm off to A record fair now here in Holland, see if I can find something interesting also 🙂

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Nice one. I'm sure there'll be plenty of Elvis stuff in Holland. Enjoy the day.

[@henryoptenhovel5695]

Great to see Tokyo, would love to visit someday. You've picked up some great items. I'm already in love with some of those 45's. Hope to find some one day for my own 45's collection. Thanks for another great video!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

I hope you make it over here. Thanks for watching.

[@markhogg2754]

Great video I always watch your videos the info I get from them is second to none .. I have lots of Japanese vinyl a lot I buy mainly from face records, I might start buying from you lol 😂 keep them coming. PS SAY. hello o Mark for me I like his channel as well

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

That's very kind, thank you. I'll let Mark know you said hello. Thanks for watching.

[@davidrixson3171]

I would love to visit Tokyo. I'm really wanting a copy of Elvis 'Such a Night' ( Elvis is Back).

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

It's a lot of fun. I'll be putting that copy of Such a Night up on eBay.

[@robinay]

really enjoy the "vlog" aspect as well seeing into record shops in japan, great video :)

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@sturmgewehr70]

What a haul! Great acquisitions you picked up! I’d love to have a Taiwanese pressing of an Elvis LP. TCB⚡️

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

I find them here more often than you'd think. I do wonder who'd import them, given that there's so much good stuff made here. A mystery. Thanks for watching.

[@markhogg2754]

@@ElvisPresleyInJapan I have obtained a Japenese Test Pressing of Girl Happy as part of an auction lot that I paid £10 for. I am not quite sure how rare this is and would value your opinion.

[@grantbaensch9726]

Thanks for sharing your adventures and some great pick ups. The FTD of the Memphis concert is an awesome release and one I play regularly as it’s a favourite. Be in touch for some more vinyl soon. Thanks David.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

I agree. It was great hearing the full concert. CD is the way to go when it comes to live albums and I loved some of the songs that you can't get on the original album. Cheers, Grant.

[@ColonelTomParker]

Love the crate digging atmospheric footage/ stellar work as always my man!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

[@ajsmith5295]

Great to see that Japan was the only country that had the sense to release" pocketful of rainbows "a brilliant song, ya can't beat original releases, I never get the ftd vinyl albums, I'd sooner spend my money on more original vinyl.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

That's right. We had Tonight's All Right for Love on the other side of Wooden Heart. I know what you mean about originals but it's definitely worth having the full Memphis concert, vinyl or CD. Thanks for watching.

[@ajsmith5295]

@@ElvisPresleyInJapan yes ya right, the best release of the Memphis concert is on the legacy release, the entire concert and in better sounding with another 74 gig not long before to boot.

Cracking video Dave, it's nice to see where you are. That train though, how immaculately clean is that. So when you're making these vids, where is sister in law and nephew? You'll have to ask Kai to say a quick hello. Hope you're doing well. X

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Hi Phil. Yes, the trains are all like that over here, and the stations. H&K are usually out when I film. I hope you and the missus are doing well. Cheers.

[@johnp5333]

Great video and lovely haul David! Thanks for sharing. 🙂Are the prices on a constant increase or have they hit a plateau?

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Prices in the shops don't change much really, as inflation is very low. Has been for years. Thanks, John.

[@henryfong3471]

Great to see what's available in the Japanese record stores, David. Record Fair today, A few Seekers Aus Albums, John Denver Rocky Mountain High US Lp, Neil Diamond Rainbow US lp from the Early 70s. Carpenters Voice of the Heart lp. Engelbert Humperdinck, Another Time Another place UK lp. Each lp Aud$4 ea. 😊Elvis was zip. Plus 4k steelbook of the 1960s Dr Who movie Aud$10😊

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Where have all the Aussie Elvis LPs gone? 😅

[@henryfong3471]

@@ElvisPresleyInJapan refuse to buy them as they have audio sound. With thin vinyl

[@henryfong3471]

@@ElvisPresleyInJapan bad audio sound. Very flat. Except the Seekers which are better in sound

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

@@henryfong3471 Oh, right. I see what you mean. I thought the problem was that you couldn't find any Elvis.

[@eleanorhoneywill6527]

What a haul from Tokyo David, mostly in lovely condition too! Shame about the Taiwanese records sleeves being in such poor condition. I don’t think l have ever seen one of those in good condition. Thank you for some of the sites of Tokyo it was nice to see. Take care stay safe. Ellie 🎼🎵🎶🕺🏻❤️😃👍

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Hi Ellie. The Taiwanese records were mostly not very well made, it seems. They were all "unofficial" releases. I guess there wasn't a huge market for western music, so they made them as cheaply as possible. They're fascinating to collect though. Thanks, Ellie.

[@nrod66]

Great video, David! I loved watching your digging day in Tokyo. Have you been to DisK Union? Hope to see more videos like that in the future. Bye for now, Nelio.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Yes, the first footage of me digging was taken in a small branch of Union in Nakano. The second clip was taken at Reco Fan in Shibuya. Thanks for watching.

[@ROCKINGMAN]

Nice collection of records. Not keen on those 80's CD's though. The 45 single The Proud Ones, using the Jew's harp has the kind of Western theme of the lone cowboy riding his horse. Good western made 1956 for 20th Century Fox with Robert Ryan, plus EP related actors, Arthur O'Connell, Jackie Coogan and Robert Middleton who died a month before Elvis.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Yes, Western movie themes were quite popular back then. My copy of Western Caravan Volume 6 was part of a set I bought that included a lot of singles containing such music. Thanks for watching.

[@shaunsidney2899]

Are those ISSUES EXPENSIVE ⁉️😬👍🇺🇸

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Some of them. I can't recall exactly what I bought. It's such an old video.
