I went to Japan as an exchange student in the early 90's. My host brothers and I played Street Fighter II and Super Bomberman on the Super Famicom and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. But what really hit me was a few years later I got a phone call from a Japanese guy that asked for me in broken English and after a few minutes an American man got on the phone and explained he had an exchange student and lived in a suburb 45 minutes from me. It was my younger host brother. I drove over there to see him and spent the day hanging out. Mind blown.
日本は１９２０年と１９２２年にシベリアにいたポーランド孤児７６５人を救いました。ありがとう日本。 I am Polish . Do you know this story? In 1920 and 1922, Japan rescued 765 Polish orphans in Siberia. Poland asked Japan to rescue a Polish orphan in Siberia. Japan promised to rescue immediately. The smallest orphaned child was 2 years old. The child was crying near the dead mother. The Japanese rescued the orphan immediately. The child told the dead mother "Goodbye Mom". Japan rescued a total of 765 Polish orphans.Japan sent orphans to Japan for treatment.Orphans ate delicious and warm meals every day. All Polish orphans have recovered. Almost all Japanese donated money to save orphans. On the day of return, all 765 Polish orphans returned to Poland safely. In 2018, an elementary school commemorating this was completed in Warsaw. Thank you Japan. God bless Japan.
I always like to hear peoples stories living in Japan. I lived there for a few years myself and there were so many things to experience including the gaming.
Lived here for 10 years and still haven’t gone to half of the places you did. I love watching videoes like this because it re-kindles some of the magic that I take for granted.
Still can't believe that I ended up on the same flight back to Seattle from Tokyo with MJR. Thanks for being so awesome and friendly! Can't wait to watch both of the videos on Japan!
met you kind people on the last day in Tokyo. Thank you guys for helping me get to the airport from outside the hotel in Roppongi lol I didn't know you guys made TH-cam videos about video games, Instant follow when i saw lol
SpArTaCuS-93N-L - We already had 6 people in the group (2 more get added next video)...so it was hard to add any more people this trip unfortunately. Next time.
Can I just say that I often come back to watch these videos when I'm not feeling good, it really gives me a kick watching your trip to Japan and makes me even more hopeful I can go there in the future.
I love these types of videos. Experiencing a culture through a computer monitor might not be the best way to experience it, but damn is it entertaining.
yeh, Japan is so expensive to go, this is the second best thing. You can check out lukemorse1's videos, he's an american living in japan and has many videos where he browses Japanese game stores in that akihabara region.

I went to Japan about a year ago, and this video gave me the feels. The temples, the food, Akihabara... It's really amazing. Hope you had a great time!
Ive wanted to go so bad but I've always let the language barrier talk me out of it. How is it for English speaking moron like myself who doesn't speak Japanese?
@@-KillaWatt- I went with four non-speakers (including me) and one fluent speaker. Having someone fluent was great, but you could definitely do without. Just figure things out ahead of time so you don't panic trying to find your train, air bnb, stop, etc. And learn at least a few phrases like "thank you" and "excuse me"; they're constantly helpful, and politeness is appreciated.
@@FredWallace18 thanks. The language barrier always held me back from visiting such a place. I had an opportunity a few years back to go and some friends are planning a trip next year and I was considering to go but I hate being the dumb tourist type walking around bugging everyone for help.

I went on vacation in Japan 5 or 6 times, the longest of which was for almost a month. I loved it every time. These videos bring back so many fond memories =D
@@RandomGuy-ws6td My brother went to Japan as a teenager in 1999 and told me about panties in vending machines; I never believed him until I kept hearing about it years later. LOL
Wire haired Dachshund you do realize 90% of the things you own are from Japan or inspired by old Japanese products. Any of those cartoons you watched growing up were inspired by anime (yes anime was before looney tunes). Most of those video games you love all come from Japanese founders of the entire industry. The cell phone, laptop, pc you used to comment guess what.... Japan. I love America don’t get me wrong but you really think japans shootings, obesity rates, unemployment rate, education system, and crime rates are anywhere near as bad as ours? Most of the statistics you look up at per capita so you can’t even throw the “population” card. Plus you do realize how many people are on disability in America where basically no one is in Japan 😂. There’s a reason we’re called American pigs
@@kevintemido Kind of similar, yeah. They're only interested in making money and they're involved with big businesses, gambling places (pachinko machines, etc), they still have the same sort of culture except now without the violence.
I live in Portland, and I just visited Japan in February/March for 19 days. It was AMAZING. I stayed at a capsule hotel in Akihabara, and I did a lot of the same things you guys did. I had the best time, and I want to return.
I've watched this video probably a half dozen or more times and live vicariously through this trip. It looks like my dream vacation since I've always wanted and even planned to go to Japan a few years ago but my car broke down and all the money I saved I had to put into buying a new car...and that car broke. ONE DAY I will make it to Japan but until then I will watch this video. I appreciate you sharing this experience and would love to see you traveling back to Japan or other places even in the US to do game hunts. This seems like a very special trip with great company and good friends. I don't know Kinsey but you can just tell she is an absolutely positive person to be around and knows how to enjoy life and have fun. Your channel is amidst my favorite on TH-cam and seems to be unique unlike many others. Not to say others are bad but you wear your inspirations and passions on your sleeve and it comes through in the video. Keep it up Jason.
I always skip through videos that I watch but this is the only one I actually watched from start to finish. Thank you, it was a non bs video about your trip, just made it feel so natural and not forced.
That ramen place is great, me and my best friend went there 2 times during our trip. Thanks for the showcase with the stores, it definitely gives me some ideas for my next trip.
The human sense of time tends to break down when you're miserable. He talked about being a big tall guy squished uncomfortably in coach. I remember a waiting room experience a few years ago that was only 3 hours but it felt like days. 10 hours like that, eep.
Hey! Just wanna say I've had such a rough week, yet I don't know why I find your videos so comforting! I love video games and I hope you never stop making videos!
Hope all is well with you! I love Metal Jesus' channel too, he's such a down to earth guy and his videos convinced me to cave and buy a PS VIta...best purchase I ever made!! :D
Super Potato should be called "Super Expensive". Their prices have doubled and sometimes tripled. Akihabara, as a whole, has become way more expensive over these past 10 years. But, they do have a very great and wide selection of stuff...just be prepared to pay premium prices.
I was disappointed with Super Potato in Akihabara. There are Super Potato locations in Osaka and they're much better. I live in Kyoto so I can luckily go there within an hour.
Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm glad that I did. This looks like exactly what I'd like to do if I got to visit Japan. Hope you picked up that Valis 2 @ 12:31. I don't remember that one coming out in the USA. Also, love Kinsey's moon and wolf dress. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Going for the 4th time again in November this year, I always find it hard to go home where the trains dont work, there arent convenience stores every 100yards and the vending machines are rubbish. miss them all back home.
you went to all of the game stores I visited in akihabara, man I miss Tokyo and Japan a lot! I went a month ago in april, flew ANA from Chicago O'Hare to Tokyo Haneda!
For the dream of getting to and enjoying Japan, I'd stay in that room in a heartbeat! You're only there to sleep, shower and some afternoon delight!! I cant wait to go (back) to Japan... Great vid.
It was sunny in Seattle, and you came to Japan when it was cloudy. I liked going to Tokyo in Dec-Jan b/c it is sunny while Seattle is cloudy at that time.
Amazing video, glad to see Metaljesus had a chance to go out to Japan and experience the retro gaming scene there. I had the chance to study abroad in Japan when I was in college, and as a game collector myself, I can only describe my experiences in Akihabara and game stores like Super Potato as sensory overload. As shown in the video, the sheer amount of merchandise for sale in these shops is just overwhelming and it's so easy to burn through all your spending money for a trip like this.
Kinsey/and Kelsey Both our Favorite Guest on your channel (Maybe) and the Best 2 take 2 Japan with you as well would love 2 Go there Ahhh!!!!!!! = ) : ) Who Agrees??
I lived in Okinawa for 3 years! I loved it there and mainland. I could live there. The people are nice, the customer service is awesome. It was a great experience! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm glad that I did. This looks like exactly what I'd like to do if I got to visit Japan. Hope you picked up that Valis 2 @ 12:31. I don't remember that one coming out in the USA. Also, love Kinsey's moon and wolf dress. Thanks for sharing your trip.
26 games as well as 3 consoles?! That's insane. Man are you a lucky guy. This trip looks awesome. Keep up the good work.
Oh men this is one of my favorite videos that you have uploaded, nice vlog and I cant wait to see more of the Metal Jesus Crew in Japan!
Looks like you all had fun Metal Jesus ! The picture of all of you in the ramen shop is a definite keeper !!
It was awesome meeting you in Osaka man, love your channel, keep it up 😊
Ship me some games lol
Awesome video thanks for sharing your trip. You rock metal Jesus!
Going for the 4th time again in November this year, I always find it hard to go home where the trains dont work, there arent convenience stores every 100yards and the vending machines are rubbish. miss them all back home.
you went to all of the game stores I visited in akihabara, man I miss Tokyo and Japan a lot! I went a month ago in april, flew ANA from Chicago O'Hare to Tokyo Haneda!
Quality muthafuckin content right here! One of the best vlogs i have seen in a while!
For the dream of getting to and enjoying Japan, I'd stay in that room in a heartbeat! You're only there to sleep, shower and some afternoon delight!! I cant wait to go (back) to Japan... Great vid.
It was sunny in Seattle, and you came to Japan when it was cloudy. I liked going to Tokyo in Dec-Jan b/c it is sunny while Seattle is cloudy at that time.
Actually we had good weather in Japan over the 11 days. Several days were in the 100 degree
I visit Japan every Year. It changed my life. Fell in love with everything.
hey what are the things you need in order to get to japan do you still have to give up your citizenship in american or have they changed that.
@@kendallkeith hi, i think you just need a passport for a holiday.
Amazing video, glad to see Metaljesus had a chance to go out to Japan and experience the retro gaming scene there. I had the chance to study abroad in Japan when I was in college, and as a game collector myself, I can only describe my experiences in Akihabara and game stores like Super Potato as sensory overload. As shown in the video, the sheer amount of merchandise for sale in these shops is just overwhelming and it's so easy to burn through all your spending money for a trip like this.
Didn’t say anything about what games you played on the flight!!!???
SOOO ESSSCITED!!!! thanks for sharing MJR! looked a lot of fun!
What a great video - love the travelogue / gaming blend.
When I went in November my case weighed 12kg, on the way home to England it weighed 27kg 😂
That's a lot of coke.
redrooster303 🤫😂
did japanese ppl react funny to the fact that you look straight up like a giant older Thor? 🤣
Dad Thor
Dhor
Or an older Jesus, perhaps metal Jesus
@@tekkenfan01 Never understood why some people think that everyone who has long hair and a beard automatically looks like jesus.
Krytern who else could he look like?
Loved being stationed in Japan. Was there from 81 - 84 in the Navy.
MJ: "ARGH! JeTLagS!1!" (ಠ_ಠ)
