Giant 3D Cat Billboard in Shinjuku, Tokyo 🐈 Why did they build it?!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Here's a bonus mid-week video for you all! ☺️ What did you think about the giant cat billboard? I personally enjoyed watching all these people watching the cat 😂😂

[@dominichill1492]

I thought the billboard was very beautiful, and the cat look amazing to me.

Super video...you are a great ambassador of modern Japanese culture!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Yay thank you! 🙌

[@happy_camper]

Catzilla! It's so cool! Glad you were able to see it and share it with us🙂Definitely makes sense that it could be a marketing strategy. Quite clever if you think about it.. look at how many people were watching 10 minutes of ads just to see the cat😂

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Or 20-30 mins of ads because people expect the cat to do different things everytime 😂 (I watched 3 sets, but the cat made the same pose everytime haha)

[@minifaceasmr2131]

Again... your channel brings back so many memories! Used to visit Lumine, Takashimaya, Isetan and all those other department stores there a lot. Would love to see the 3D cat~ Despite covid.. the streets of Shinjuku is lively as always! ^^

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! 🙌

[@dominichill1492]

The billboard of the cat was very nice and creative. I saw it on another channel yesterday morning. I'm so glad you are showing us on you're channel.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! 😆

[@hellosam4772]

Soo cool! By the way love the new channel profile picture

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! ☺️

[@Subjectivity13]

Thanks for showing this! I definitely would never have known about it. That cat needs more screen time! I feel like there are so many creative ideas in Japan that I miss out on and only hear about a few of them when someone puts it online like this.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thanks for that! I agree the cat definitely needs to be shown for longer!

[@Saifull1991]

thank you so much for the amazing footage :) best on the net today

I've just subscribed to your channel and you seem like a such a wonderful person

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thanks for the sub!! 🙌

[@quadratic123]

Thanks for visiting the billboard and giving more context to why it’s there. Interesting about the intervals between cat footage. Assuming it is for marketing purposes, it’s genius. The cat is going to give the Godzilla over at the Gracery Hotel some competition if it becomes a fixed exhibit.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thanks for letting me know about this!! I doubt they would spend so much money building the billboard just to please the citizens, so I do assume it was built for marketing purposes 😅 Haha true, that would be a competition 😆

[@quadratic123]

@@TokyoFoodieSarah none of the news sources I saw mentioned the 10 mins of ads in between cat appearances so your reporting was more thorough 😂

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

@@quadratic123 ikr!! I tried to find some articles to learn about the background, but none of the articles (both English and Japanese) said anything haha 😂

[@colinmathie2710]

That looked quite an intense thunderstorm at the end, with fork lightning to, i hope you got indoors quickly enough.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I did, thank you ! I was very lucky because I got to film just before the thunderstorms! ⚡️

[@benverdian1823]

Beautiful 🥰🥰

[@freshlyanimated]

the future is now !!! that's awesome.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

True! 😆

[@SayangiRahmatiISTRI]

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

It did! 🐈

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Cool 👍🏻

[@ペン虹虹]

見たかったので良かったです！ ありがとうございます☺️ めっちゃリアルですね😱

[@saturnturik]

wwwwwwっう

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

最初はリアルで大きいですし、ちょっと怖いなって思ったのですが、見慣れたら可愛く思ました😂

[@heartplacex]

Wow it's huge and I love it. Are there any good vegan places in Tokyo? hopefully you can try one one day! ☺️

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

There's a nice vegan matcha cafe in Shibuya! I made a video on it before: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHLPo3xvh6-lnNE

[@heartplacex]

@@TokyoFoodieSarah I didn't catch that one I will check it out 🐱

[@ivvan497]

Man, I wish we get some thunderstorms here. 38°C tomorrow and the day after 🥵. BTW, is this like, center of tokyo? Do you live close to this are? If so, is rent very expensive here?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

38℃ already!? Tokyo is still like 32℃ 😂 Shinjuku is a very central area! The rent varies depending on the property, but yes this area wouldn't be cheap to live haha but I'm sure you can find some cheap-ish properties that are really small&old 🏠

[@lieutenantpepper2734]

Hello Kitty is a cat as well, yet people doesn’t seem to care.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

OMG TRUE 😂😂

[@aryan73022]

Pretty pretty sarah🔥🎉☃️

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

☺️

[@tricky0001979]

Was thinking before you said it about the marketing ploy getting lots of people to stare at the screen and the advertisers designers have done their jobs. As a brit what it says sounds weird as over here cats meow.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I couldn't really hear what it was saying, as the other billboards were very loud, but I think it was talking 😂

[@glenn8452]

猫とてもかっこいい 😊

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Indeed! 😆

[@FHK_88]

It's revolutionary

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Indeed!

[@summer3526]

What if that billboard showed an advert of a horror film in 3d with a jump scare? Shit. 👻

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

NOOOO!! I can’t stand horror 😱

[@Nebarus]

Why? Because they could! :)

[@doreybain]

I had a nightmare of a tiger roaming around my neighborhood after I first saw the giant cat billboard.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Omg nooooo

[@adritz400]

After the launch… the longer the ADS will be..

[@lennyg47]

Forget the cat, there's a giant 3-D giraffe behind you! What?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

OMG You noticed!!! I was hoping someone would notice 😂

[@Robin.Mishra]

Cat kidhar hai Khali apna thobra dikhaya

[@rjl310]

Whomever owns that billboard is gonna be making a TON of cash off of this.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

True!!

[@Chino-Kafu]

Guess who lives about 15mins walking from this? Meeeeeeeee

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Lucky!

[@Chino-Kafu]

@@TokyoFoodieSarah kinda....if you consider paying 3500 a month for being in Shinjuku. I work 3 jobs to live here. 1 full 2 part. Fun stuff I guess lol.

[@danbi2000]

now go and get one for yourself

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I wish 😭
