I pretty much went to all the same stores when I was in Japan a couple of months ago. Great stores, but everything was a bit too pricey for me. Ended up swapping my VfB Stuttgart scarf for a Cerezo Osaka scarf with a very nice japanese fan at a Cerezo game. Japanese are generally very shy, but when you just approach them politely, they are usually super exited. And they love their football!
9:42 me too mate, me too 😅 I may be a F·Marinos person but the FC Tokyo home shirt from 2007 was a different level of funky... I asked a biologist cousin who was stationed in Japan (back in 2010) to look out for a current season one but barely had time off due to her job's commitments
Hey Ellis. I live in Japan and went through 1,000 shirts in the past 5 years. FYI, Most of those shirts can be found here for 20-50GBP on the domestic auction sites. That away Sagan Tosu will be max 30GBP by November. Vintage Stores are slowly closing down, as it's all online market sites these days, and prices are REALLY low as Japanese people generally don't highly value things that are not brand new or straight from the store. Generally, the best time to buy is off-season, when many online stores sell BNWT stock from the past seasons for 30-50 GBP. Also, that Kawasaki Frontale shirt (Medium will be too tight for you as it's like a Small UK) was on Classic Football Shirts for GBP59.99 very recently, in all sizes.
Good video BTW, I enjoyed watching it.. But yeah, definitely needed a local guide as there's lots of missing or wrong info there. Also, that FC Tokyo cafe... It's just a generic chain with FC Tokyo logo, mate. Sukiya. Thousands of them around Japan :) P.S. Saw you on the Kohalon's Vlog too. Nice collab. By a pure accident, he did an interview with me at the same game. Had no idea you were around.
@@pc2633 Hi mate, i've been often bought football jerseys from Japan(i'm from Indonesia) in the secondhand local market here and few of them still had the label,i remember a store called "Vin Prime" and price is really fair tbh hence i was planning to visit Tokyo by the end of this year, could you spill the similliar store like Vin Prime in Tokyo area? I was worried since you mention some of the are turned online nowadays haha(i prefer to see it directly when i buy something). Thanks in advance mate.
I’ve been struck with a bug been ill all day in bed.. I came across you the other day & think I’ve binge watched about 15-20 shirt hunting episodes today.. just watching this before bed & didn’t realise it was todays. Just wanted to say thank you for getting me through today man. Wish you nothing but success for the future.
Definitely had good variety pretty much everywhere. I'm always amazed how much imagination J League teams have with their designs truly different. Will say also that you got your cardio in.
Great video, but connection with Celtic and Japan due to ange being the manager who managed in Japan and we have had a fair few played through the years especially recently
Ayyyy so glad this series is back! Genuinely my favourite series on TH-cam. That Sagan Tosu shirt my well be my favourite out of the bunch. Can’t wait to see where you go to next!
I was in Japan recently and went to the Gamba Osaka vs Yokohama FM game with a Japanese girl friend, it was such a great experience even if Gamba got stuffed at home 2-0. I had no idea about the KAMO football shop in Shibuya, probably just as well as I'd have spent a ton of money in there.
That totally sums up shopping in japan....stores closed on random days, stores just plain gone without notice. Japan has a massive recycle culture and "reuse" / second hand recycle stores are everywhere. Checking out stores located near team stadiums is a sure fire way to find vintage stuff.
You've come a long way since the days of visiting random Non-league fixtures in East Anglia. Tokyo's impressive, isnt it! I got to go there back in 2015 and it still feels unbelievable.
I can't be responsible for my own actions - 🤣🤣🤣 Now, did Jodie rip into you when you told her just how much you've spent on shirts? Japan is an amazing place for football shirts! You definitely need to go back out there Ellis you were like a kid high on sugar in those shops. Definitely my favourite video of yours in the world of shirt hunting.
I got a green Kawasaki Frontale strip with the gold tag and a Japan strip from the second shop you went to when I was on my honeymoon, two of my fave shirts. Amazing country!
Mate... The FC Tokyo Club shop is the Xebio outside matchdays They also sell Tokyo Verdy shirts along with FC Tokyo. Only during matchdays, they have a shop inside the stadium according to which team is playing
You're videos inspired me to take a look around some of the thrift stores in the area here. Didn't expect to find anything in Iow City, Iowa...but managed to find a Real Madrid Benzema kit and 2011 Argentina Kit. Surprised me!
The best league in Asia Pacific. Hands down. Remember when playing winning 11 with bellmare hiratsuka: Hidetoshi Nakata & Wagner Lopez in the starting line-up.
There's a shirt I think you might like for the J-League and it's Sagan Tosu 2014 away kit. Hopefully you had a good time and were able to find some of the shirts you really liked. Also, baseball is huge there so I hope you got to witness a game or two whilst there.
Always love the shirt hunting videos all the shops are making me want to go to Japan but anyway I’m going to Obzor, Bulgaria next week and hope to get good jerseys would love to see you do a jersey hunting in Bulgaria 🇧🇬
I watched the youtube where you were interviewed at the Japan National Stadium. I was surprised to know that you are very famous. The J-League mascot shirt was stylish and cool.Thanks for coming to Japan.
Ellis I cant see your vlog on The J League International channel. I have a favourite J - League club. I also watch a bit of The K - League Pohang Steelers are my favourite club from The K - League. Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland. Keep Safe Elis & I hope Jodie is doing well & keeping well.
Loved the video. Also, I dropped my jaw when I saw they had a Hansa Rostock kit at the last store you went to. It's insane what you find when travelling.
Looks like a great trip. Enjoyed everything except for the Aaron Ramsey slander. Man scored the winner for us in two FA Cup finals, so will always have a place in my heart
Hey Ellis! Just to let you know, and if you're visiting Japan again, try visiting the two other VintageSports in Kichijoji and Machida. The Shibuya branch doesn't have that many Japanese jerseys compared to either of those branches
Ive started collecting more now thanks to you..when i was out in tenerife couldnt get a tenerife shirt for my dad in his side. Saw it on classic football shirts. Also ordered my cousin a secret shirt for his bday and damm it he got the most recent hannover 96 shirt 😂
@AwayDays wait till October/November. Back on another cruise around Spain and Portugal. Definitely getting loads of shirts or very least scarves that I don't have yet 🤣
In Japan they normally do " pop up store " (like tents), outside the stadium on a match day. Thats probably why not all the football teams in Japan have store in their stadium (a bit stupid tho). Thats what happen with FC Ryukyu for example, the team of my actual city.
I loved this, Argentina have some great looking tops, and Japanese tops were amazing, I've bin watching you for a while travelling around the grounds, keep up the good work Ellis,
ALSO YOU WENT TO WATCH THE FRONTALES? Yes! The best team in the league (not bias at all as it is my team hahaha) - they've had many great kits and special kits. Also there's a lot of Celtic stuff because a lot of Japan international players play there and the club has good relations with the league/teams - Kyogo Furuhashi is a class striker, there was a huge up roar when he wasn't picked for the World Cup team. Anyways this vlog was awesome, keep it up. :)
I was in Japan 2 weeks ago and visited those exact shops, was so tempted to buy that Ferdinand jersey but just a bit too small for me, and can confirm that Ed Sheeran ad was driving me mental as I walked past it every day.
I was at the vintage football shirts shop when I was there a month ago! They had the Flames Japan kit in a long sleeve. Couldn’t afford the $500 aud for it 🤣😭
Was at the shop in shibuya in Jan. Won't give too much away in the comments if you've got another vid coming out but I spent 3 hours in there and bought nothing 😢 way too pricey but some of the stuff they had was immense. There was a white and orange random Japanese club kit with a squirrel badge that I tried my hardest to make fit me. Shouldn't have had the samurai burger at McDonalds down the road just before visiting. Have no idea what club it was but it was the nuts (pun intended)
@@awaydaysfootballyeah some definitely didn't look real either. But there was a really good selection. The random Sheffield Wednesday kit from the 90s with the demonic black and yellow owl was a particular surprise. But yeah as you said there was a huge mark up on a lot of the kits and even tho I probably could have stretched the budget a bit I just felt like the prices weren't fair. I was surprised they didn't let you film in there, they don't really advertise much on the front. Looked like it was hidden in a block of flats/offices so possibly that's why 🤷
Mistake when you’re in a different country, is you don’t know the shops open or close, I usually buy the thing right away at the shop. I was in Tokyo a month earlier than you were. I wasn’t hunting for football shirts
14:00 min: HANSA ROSTOCK JERSEY🔵⚪️🔴 IN JAPAN HAHA what a Jersey that is so cool 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great video, could you give the exact names or is there no chance that they sell online anyway? Especially the place for which you needed an appointment had some nice shirts.

Lots of steps in 😂
What a season you’ve had Ellis, visited lots of countries. Thanks for the great content ❤
Thank you for watching!
This is the most positive I've ever heard you Ellis. Nice to see you had a good time.
Thank you!
Great video, but connection with Celtic and Japan due to ange being the manager who managed in Japan and we have had a fair few played through the years especially recently
Japan is one of the most underrated football nations in the world and the shirts are also so sick
I would personally say
South Korea aswell.
So glad that my local team will face J league urawa red diamonds in the AFC champions league will go there in August
@@alanfox691 korea is LOSER Nothing Easy Get Out of here
7:42 Last thing I expected to see on this channel was Oshi no ko
This video was a banger I didn’t realize Japan had such a big football culture. Some of them shops were the best I’ve ever seen
Ayyyy so glad this series is back! Genuinely my favourite series on TH-cam. That Sagan Tosu shirt my well be my favourite out of the bunch. Can’t wait to see where you go to next!
The holy grail of videos, AS I'VE BEEN WAITING!

Mental to see that home Rangers top at 2:20 (Blue one), hardly ever see them in the wild anymore - barely online sometimes

What a video! I went to the soccer shop Kamo last December in Yokohama really nothing like it over here in Australia
Awesome video! Keep up the good work!
Does anyone know what the bit of music at 2:58 is called?
Nice to hear that Bristol City are the first club you thought of! Shame our club store is piss poor though!!
Always love the shirt hunting videos all the shops are making me want to go to Japan but anyway I’m going to Obzor, Bulgaria next week and hope to get good jerseys would love to see you do a jersey hunting in Bulgaria 🇧🇬
congrats on 30 years of JLeague ❤️
Best video of the year so far! Cant wait for future vids
I watched the youtube where you were interviewed at the Japan National Stadium. I was surprised to know that you are very famous.
The J-League mascot shirt was stylish and cool.Thanks for coming to Japan.
Loving the random Bristol City shoutout in japan... Can confirm, we do open on weekdays
Great video again Ellis 🏆
6:55 truth be told, it is very difficult to see long-sleeved Japan NT shirts (regardless if player issue or store replicas) OUTSIDE Japan...
Can you please go to Greece one day? It is my country and it would be a pleasure to come!!
Wow! content has been so amazing this year. Keep it up!!
Amazing variety of shirts in Japan
Great video, I'm so jealous! Going to Japan and then also shirt shopping 🥹
I love it when you do these videos can you do one in Thailand please.
One day!
Ellis I cant see your vlog on
The J League International channel.
I have a favourite
J - League club.
I also watch a bit of
The K - League
Pohang Steelers are my
favourite club from
The K - League.
Alan Shields

well & keeping well.
The best video yet Ellis and I’ve watched EVERY VIDEO… class mate, he’s a HAULLLL aswell!
😎😎😎
Loved the video. Also, I dropped my jaw when I saw they had a Hansa Rostock kit at the last store you went to. It's insane what you find when travelling.
The football shirt shops in Japan are absolutely amazing. Fantastic.
Just seem the subject and I'm so excited! JAPAN!! Don't even know why but hoping and expecting this to be the best shirt hunt ever 👍🫰🫰🫰❤
I appreciate the Bristol City shout out from Tokyo 😆 Can't imagine our name has been uttered too many times there!
Looks like a great trip. Enjoyed everything except for the Aaron Ramsey slander. Man scored the winner for us in two FA Cup finals, so will always have a place in my heart
It was more the day 1 shock of a British players shirt being there!
you've been on right missions recently man! smashing it
Bruh idk how I saw it but in minute 2:20 on the far right you can see a blue and gold sleeve from the 2017 away Pumas Unam kit🤣😭💙💛
The shop you went at 6:34 also has a store in Kichijoji station which has more Jleague shirts with better price
just watching the season for the first time , great vid
One of the best shirt hunting episodes🎉will love to visit Japan one day
Another reason why I want to visit Japan
holy crap this is my first shirt hunting that I could watch right when it came out
😎🤝
Hey Ellis! Just to let you know, and if you're visiting Japan again, try visiting the two other VintageSports in Kichijoji and Machida. The Shibuya branch doesn't have that many Japanese jerseys compared to either of those branches

Haha, good to see you’re in the hobby though!

Wasnt expect to see too much football culture in Japan
It’s crazy there!
Football is catching up to baseball in popularity in teens here in Japan. WC and some of Japanese players in Europe definitely helped!
I loved this, Argentina have some great looking tops, and Japanese tops were amazing, I've bin watching you for a while travelling around the grounds, keep up the good work Ellis,
Apparently Ueno has alot of football shops as well.
I missed these vids🙌🏻
Loved this vid! I picked up a Jubilo Iwata shirt out there back in 2007!
AHHHH FINALLY JAPAN A J- LEAGUE VIDEO! IVE BEEN WISHING TO SEE YOU DO ONE FOR A WHILE. :D
🤝🤝🤝

so much celtic as of nakamura in 2005-2008 then you have now kyogo hatate maeda koboyashi ideguchi iwata and postecoglu came from Yokohama F Marinos
Love that YSL sweater! Oh yea some bixe shirts too 😂
Your Gamba Osaka sweatshirt is the rarest of all the shirts featured in this video.
Up the away days
Ellis the GOAT of jersey content
That J league mascot button up is a piece of me! Very jealous
I was in Japan 2 weeks ago and visited those exact shops, was so tempted to buy that Ferdinand jersey but just a bit too small for me, and can confirm that Ed Sheeran ad was driving me mental as I walked past it every day.
Damn I missed those. Thanks Ellis for the content
You should do a video with Zealand maybe classic football shirts
6:23 goodness
I was at the vintage football shirts shop when I was there a month ago! They had the Flames Japan kit in a long sleeve. Couldn’t afford the $500 aud for it 🤣😭
Asian countries are gold mines they have some of the best Jerseys and they have so many Grails

.Thanks mate
It is very pricey in there. Some even more so than the likes of CFS weirdly

I have some SAGANTOSU FC t-shirts and I wear them in London. People stop and asks me where and how I got this crazy tshirts. They are priceless.
Norwich are massive!
Hey do visit Kolkata, India. Here we have some of the oldest football clubs and some of the best football fans😍
2:20 Chinese Super League 2020 Winner, Jiangsu Sunning, which unfortunately broke and disappear now

You thought of Bristol City because we’ll be playing Leeds next season!
What was the team associated to the first shirt you wore. The white & pink one. Absolute quality……👍👍👍👍👍
Japan ... finally ... Yes!!!!! What do you mean you might never go back there again?
I need to get back there again - trip number 6
Love the video specific hashtags
It's so funny because I wear my jerseys everyday under my scrubs. I love wearing them because they breathe really well.
Wonder where did Ellis find the JEF United shirt? So epic!
