Here's a Bunch of Nerdy Things to do in Akihabara (Tokyo Vlog)

There's a merch store in Japan that also has a location in LA called Jungle (or Anime Jungle). Found so many good cheap preowned figures there that were discounted there.

[@oliviabrakel6129]

Shayz that’s where I go!

I agree its jungle Los Angeles it's the only one related to Japan branches in the United States I know one of the owners of it I collect Gundam figures being a Disney celebrity it lets me go anywhere I'm truly blessed.

[@redfish337]

I like going to idol shows. I usually just go to Akiba when there's a show I want to see- and go early or stay later to shop. If you happen to be in Akiba today, November 13th, I would highly recommend going to the Blue Forest Idol show at Akichika, starting from 7pm. If you reserve on their website (literally just before walking into the door, if you so desire) it's 1500 yen for a 1.5 hour show with a softdrink or beer. There are usually shows around town that go for hours and hours, but the entry fee is more around 2500-3500 yen- 1500 is passable for someone trying something out. Hardly any foreigners go to idol shows. They have almost as much awkwardness as maid cafes, but more fun. If you're a girl it's probably even more awkward, though there's often a girl's section and there can be discounts- or outright free shows. If you're ever in Tokyo and want to try one, happy to research a quality / high value show to attend.

3:05 - I’ve been to Akihabara and it’s cool to hear the music that plays at 5PM every day. I really like Akiba Cultures Zone, but Akihabara Radio Kaikan is also very cool and probably my favorite with 9+ floors of stores. Tomorrow is my last full day in Japan and it was really cool to see this video. Thank you!

[@ibrahimbeats]

I think my favourite place was AmiAmi (or whatever that building was) just for the cheap figures

2 Reina videos in a day. Hell yeah!

Tnx for letting me live vicariously through you in Tokyo 👍

[@patrikhjorth3291]

When you were talking about all the figures you want, I realised that I had (almost) no idea what you were saying, but you sounded really passionate about it, so I enjoyed listening to it anyway :-D

[@lolsaLlama]

I've just come back from a two week stay in Tokyo (stayed at Shin-Ōkubo) first thing I did in Akihabara was go to the Gundam cafe then play the Gundam lottery in the shop, but I did get to see the Tamashii Nations event in Akihabara which was cool! 🤓

[@redfish337]

You're crazy to stay in Shin-Okubo... lol, the area wasn't designed for the scale of visitors hallyu has brought.

[@lolsaLlama]

@@redfish337 lol people kept saying its a crazy area to stay but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I was only 300m from the station and a quick walk in to Shinjuku. My friends all stayed in either Shinjuku or Shibuya but I liked Shin-Ōkubo. Plus during the day I'd eat Japanese dishes and at night get some Korean food. Best of both worlds 👍

[@redfish337]

@@lolsaLlama I guess you were there off-hours then? I've heard they may even close off the station when crowding is bad enough .=/ Sure, it's a happening area. My concern is getting in and out would be a hassle- that they might even close the station on you if your timing was bad. It was never to the point of closing down the station when I've gone (though I usually walk in from higashi-shinjuku station side), but it was definitely a traffic jam of people near the JR stations.

[@lolsaLlama]

@@redfish337 I experienced the area at all times of the day. I was there for two weeks so I got to see it at peak rush and also late night when it was quiet. I was there during Halloween, went to show in Shibuya got train back to Shin-Ōkubo after then walked in to Shinjuku after dropping stuff off at hotel etc. Never had a problem. Great place!

[@redfish337]

@@lolsaLlama Okay, maybe they've got it a little more under control now. That's good to hear.

I love WACCA! I'm a big fan of the HARDCORE TANO*C label so the music in the game is so great. I've already cleared all the songs though, except for a couple of level 12 songs I haven't cleared yet, so I'm pretty much just waiting for more songs to be added.

[@SirBastflow]

It's so much fun to see someone freak'n'geek out in Akiba. Absolutely love it. :D Great vlog! Now excuse me while I go book flights to Japan...

[@fufafudrops]

Haibara already has had a scale figure come out!! It was the book stand series where there was one version with a book stand part and a slightly different pose without the book stand! The quality is super nice too!! But nendo I dont think ahes got one yet :’)

Yooooo, Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! I think the japanese name is Baku Bonbaman 2. Just seeing that cartridge hit me right in the nostalgia zone. Too cool.

[@gabem6863]

The last time I was in Japan, I timed it so my days in Tokyo included a free Sunday to hit Akihabara when they close off the street. I spent the entire afternoon hitting almost every store on Chuo Dori plus doing my regular visit to Maidreamin' Cafe; I completely shocked the girl out advertising for the cafe by speaking to her in Japanese only! One of the best afternoons ever!

[@christopheranderson3250]

"I definitely need some vegetables or else I can't poop... so, there's that."

[@BartvG88]

My favorite rhythm game is Taiko no Tatsjujin, The huge japanese drum games! Fortunately, there was one here back in Utrecht, Netherlands for us to play, Free play even! It was on a local E3 like event called First Look. The game was very fun, However, the person in charge of the floor plan was probably drunk, because he put a DJ playing "kabouter plop" right next to all the rhythm games! We had a great time though. Having a free pay arcade setup next to the lines were you can play the new and unreleased stuff was great! You always had something to play, to do, or to see!

[@1Shayz1]

As a Shalltear fan (Overlord) I also feel you when it comes to a character that you'd think would have at least one figure but doesn't

[@BuzzinsPetRock78]

For some reason Akiba always does the same thing for me: I leave tired from all the walking, with a lot less money and looking for an extra suitcase to take home. They actually sell them in Akiba for not too much :P And my favourite is still super potato... One thing that really amazes me though, is the prices for Blurays and DVDs. I thought the prices were inflated when you are shopping online, but the prices in Japan are just nuts... For most series I'll just wait until they release the translated versions....as those tend to be MUCH cheaper....

[@gabem6863]

I mail to myself a couple of big boxes of goodies everytime I go there

[@BuzzinsPetRock78]

@@gabem6863 That is probably a better option than what I do....but it does mean you have to find a place that will do that for an acceptable price. And I don't know why, but I never ran into a place that will do that.....but I'm sure they are out there, especially if you know what to look for....which I don't :(

[@gabem6863]

@@BuzzinsPetRock78 I would go to the closest post office, buy a box and pack it myself there; they would give me some packing material and a roll of tape and the clerk double checked that it was safe for the international trip. Did that in Tokyo and Kyoto and each time the boxes arrived with no damage. Only cost the postage and price of the boxes.

When I discovered anime, I decided to to go back to college (which I'm in the process of doing right now). The whole purpose of me going back to college is so I can get a better job in my field with even better pay so i can go to akihabara. Anime pulled me out of a really deep depression in my life. I want to give thanks to the culture that helped me feel something again. So besides akihabara where should i save up and and explore? I was wanting to go for 3 months but it looks like visas only are good for one month for tourism. If price was no option how much should I save and where should I go.

[@redfish337]

@@TakoyaKyono I see. I guess you liked it then since you kept making them go? hah It's probably the best of the low end fast food here. It was only a few years ago that you could get their burgers for $2-3 each so the Japan prices looked ridiculous. But it's unfortunately probably only a 30% upcharge now. Well, I guess thanks for helping keep them in business. I don't go as a tourist (I go to McD all the time though- due to time/$$$ considerations), but I know if I was still living there, I'd certainly be glad to have one available. If you're ever back burger hunting in Japan though, I think the best of the chains is the higher priced stuff at Freshness Burger. I usually get one or two when I go. The fancy artisan stuff is better yet, but it's at least still ~1000 yen or so at Freshness.
