Just happened to shoot on the biggest snow day of the year in Tokyo. So... who was the owner?
miyavi? gackt?
Gackt
It's Gackt is it not?
100% Gackt
Yo yo Ma
Architect: So how much natural light would you like to have?
Owner: No
So common in Japan too. Weird.
i love low ligthing. Too much light is not for me. If i need light i just go outside but inside i prefer the low brightness for relaxation.
SERIOUSLY what a dungeon !!! 😣😣😣
Gackt is very sensitive to light so it’s understandable
@@spring__haru no way how did you find that out? Is this common knowledge in Tokyo that this was his place?
If you manage to sell this property, then you’re sure to win the Nobel prize in real estate.
He needs to find a vampire
The flowers on the ceiling really add a nice cottage core touch to the whole serial killer vibe.
Patrick Bateman would love this place.
@@dereksbooks Nah it's way too loud for Bateman.
Gackt fan here. This is the house that Gackt lived in during the early 2000s. The house that Joey toured is its successor.
Most people will know that he now mainly lives in Kuala Lumpur. Currently he’s designing a new house there that will allow him to display his cars.
Edit: I see a lot of comments saying Hyde, but he’s way too normal for this. This is very likely the house where Hyde had to read Gackt’s MOON CHILD pitch by candle light.
glad to see some one noticed. I remember a show featuring this and he would change the roses from white to red some times.
@@Larindarr Exactly. That garage has now been converted to more “lobby” (as he calls it) space as all his personal-use cars have been moved overseas.
It does look like an apartment gackt owned but I wouldnt think it was his only one… more like a party shed
Oh haha that's why this vampire villain lair looked & felt so familiar!
@@bingobongo1615 I don’t know if he already had multiple places of residence at the time (I remember the “indoor trampoline room”) but he definitely lived here. He’s talked about living in Nerima and described this particular place many times. Photos of things like the shooting range were in his fanclub magazines back in the day. He had everything he needed here except for a dedicated recording studio, which the subsequent Gackt cribs have all had. His current house in KL has this similar single room concept, except it’s in the open air.
I clicked because I saw Chris as target 😁😁
Same here! LOL
Samedt 😂😂😂😂
This seems like a very difficult place to sell, i imagine the amount of people both interested and capable of buying this place is very small.
There might be fans of the guy interested in the property, I think that that’s probably the selling point.
@@silviastanziola659 if that would be the selling point they would spit out the name right away waiting for some fans to buy but they didnt
its why its getting sold for so cheap. Im shocked that someone doesn't buy it just to resell all the marble then sell the parking units back to the people in the apartment
I think so too. There's not much you can do with a cavernous dark space like that, no light, no lovely windows and fresh air. Horrible. It's incredible to see how people with spectacularly bad taste and a stubborn personality throw good money away.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 I diasgree, if ou're buying it, one could turn it into some sort of private venue if licensing is a problem, or turn it into an actual club or something.
It's like when you try to make a cool and edgy mansion in the sims
So truuue
Thr open bedroom, the gym equipment, the roses, and the whole lack of privacy?
I'm guessing this belonged to Gackt
Definitely Gackt!
My guess was also Gackt hahaha
I don't know, considering the space I think Gackt would have have a full Grand Piano instead of an upright one.
Fr real
There's a video showing Gackt giving a tour of his house and it's this one
I love the intros telling us about what's good/bad about the area
This is hands down the best property I've seen you tour.
Not only is it a den perfect for a true gentleman of the night, and a bargain of a price, but it seems it's literally the former residence of Gackt.
Imagine the hoardes of Gackt fan girls who would come over for your exclusive vampire parties...
I'm honestly shocked at how low the price is. It's very large, unique and probably every man's dream mancave. Sure, the place needs some work but nothing crazy.
It has no windows!!!!
@@94Chiko Umm.. that's the point of having a cave.
Only if you’re an eccentric musician, or a manchild.
Outside of some natural light (which I could manage without) I adore the place. The place is so freeform. Any space can be what you want it to be on a whim. Slide some furniture in, or out of the way, and you're done.
With that first shot of the rose ceiling, my slumbering inner Gackt fangirl went 😱, I knew exactly who it was, haha. Also immediately started planning how to buy and turn it into a Gackt-themed airbnb.
The kicker is, could have done it a few months ago if hubby and I hadn’t already bought a rental this year. DANG IT!! 😆
Shower is pointing downwards to let the water drip out after usage, else they get clogged up over time. Not a big issue with a normal shower head but with those things it could become an issue.
this is the best tour on this channel this place has a HISTORY man. if the walls could speak
Crazy! Reasonably priced for a historical rock 'n roll star pad IN Tokyo! 👍👏✨🎼🎵🎸
yeah price seems really low for such a spacious place.
You're the best guest on Chris's channel with what you bring content-wise, and your channel's great. Keep it up.
The lighting makes it look like a really fancy and expensive nuclear shelter, more expensive than they already are.
This is like a house you'd make in The Sims when you need to force one Sim to paint a bunch of paintings and never leave...
Wow - I can definitely see where this would not be everyone's taste for sure, but I really like it - sans all of the roses. The kitchen and bath are nice, and there is a lot of great open space and storage space as well. I would change the shooting range into a single lane bowling alley if it would fit, but otherwise I like it just as it is...and all this space for less than $150 US a square foot??? That's insane!! Love it. Marc from Georgia USA
My imagination is running wild with ideas of what you could do with this place !!!
Insane is a pretty good word for it !!!
There's a lot of Gray tones in that house. At least 50 shades.
Gackt maybe? I remember Joey "The Anime Man" did a home tour with him once, and this place kinda reminds me of it.
it was similar but not the same place, no airsoft range in their.
it is gackt’s but it’s a different place
Honestly, the size alone makes this seem worth it. It is tacky and it being underground means that your options for things like light are limited. But if you've got $500k to throw around, you also have money to gut this place and make it reasonable to live in. And having that much space would give you a lot of options.
I wish your new office had been near where we were sightseeing a few months ago we would have loved to have stopped by to see the new digs and say hello! Love your videos :)
I really like this den. If you're introvert like me and rarely have any guests (by rarely i mean couple times per year rarely) then its rather perfect. Me personally would like nice theater room (those acoustics gonna suck ass), but i totally dig the airsoft shooting range lmao
a new video, a new wacky "appartment". Not my style either, but very entertaining to watch. I had to laugh, when you showed the subwoofer on next to the toilet. All that attention to specific details and then there is a subwoofer on a mat of fiberglass(?) insulation XD
when i saw that woofer by the toilet i instantly thought there would be a microphone in the toilet bowl for some toilet humor or some fettish
@@gregh7457glad u also thought that. 😂
Thats actually a really good price for a place like that in Tokyo!
@abroadinJapan why is thy face in this thumbnail🤣🤣🤣 i spit my coffee out.
personally i wouldn't mind taking a crack at this place. as a musician myself, it'd be pretty cool to have a private abode with zero natural lighting- setting up my gear in the space where that piano is. of all the properties you've showcased, THIS one strangely speaks to me.
It is Gackt's. I remember he posted it on social media once. Those were the first times he designed rooms he said.
this is batman's cave for when he is visiting japan, the roses are just distractions
I love it. Batcave vibes.
The asking price would buy a (deluxe) tar paper shack in my RE market.
If i was a multi-millionaire i would buy it immediately 😊
This is Ryotaro's favorite thumbnail ever
👀 ooh boy, this feels oddly familiar ~~Gackt~~
I loved this place OMG haha. nice video name for a place like this haha
Love the Airsoft range 😁
Immediately guessed this had to be Gackts place, basically all of it is his style, minimal and quicky.
ngl that low ceiling would make me feel claustrophobic
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 I'm 6'5 so I would have to crouch everywhere
What about the lack of windows or natural light?
That's actually a pretty reasonable price for the size. Not sure how practical it is, but who are we kidding? If you get this place you aren't worried about being practical. My guess at the previous owner would be Hyde or Gackt. It definitely seems weird enough.
Okay, it's 100% Gackt. If you watch Joey the anime man's video of him visiting Gackt's studio there are vines everywhere, a similar wall projector, a big home gym, and airsoft guns. That's enough for me to say case closed.
fantastic example of expensive not equal good
I don't really like real estate people. Because I was one for a decade, or so. I am absolutely blown away by that video. Excellent work.
Jeesh, that's the price of a standard house in many places, here in the US. For such a nice place, that seems like a fair price.
The chris abroad insertion was hillarious haha.
Rockstars..... So much space for the trophies?
Yoshiki...🌹🌹🎹
With a place like this you don't need to worry about the location because clearly you'll be the heart of the party.
I am so utterly curious to see what was going down in this place at its peak haha
Great showing once again mate! 🙋🏽♂️
Christian from down here in Fukuoka 🇯🇵
That had to be a Yakuza's house, the punching bags, the hot tub, the "airsoft"😏 shooting range, there are no obstructed sight lines. Yakuza house.
im so addicted to your videos HAHAHAH
Tokyo´s batman place 🦇🦇
My god, this apartment is the physical form of "having money doesn't mean having good taste"
That open Floorplan should have included at least 1 or 2 parking spots for my crazy custom LBW lambo and RauchWelt Porsche. Then I'd be down with it! Lol
1:06 My guess is that Roland is the previous owner! I just thought that only a vampire would own a place with no windows, marble on all the walls and plastic roses...
it looks old though, like it was built 20 years ago
@@loggeyboy3084 I know what you mean the choice of tiles makes it look outdated but the entire concept is so weird that I can't even guess when it was renovated.
The only clues we have about the previous owner is that they worked out in the gym, shot airsoft at the shooting range and listened to Andrew W.K. in the bathroom...
Nah, Roland would have a lot of mirrors.....
Everyone's saying Gackt.
But the underground vampire theme and timing of the sale suggests Atsushi Sakurai to me tbh, only thing that throws me off is the gym lmao
Very unique.
Looks like a perfect vacation-apartment for Lara Croft. ;-)
Somehow the TH-cam algorithm exposed that the owner was Gackt by showing The Anime Man touring the place with Gackt himself. When the place is filled of stuff it looks pretty interesting.
That place had similar styling but different layout, bath, gym, etc. No gun range either.
Oooh, completely forgot about that video
@@nathantheodorus yeah I don't think it was the same place but the roses everywhere make me think this is his still
@@nathantheodorus You are right, the beginning looked really similar with the wall flowers, who knows maybe he had two houses 😁
Would love to know when this was filmed, otherwise its like Christmas in July.
Sometime in winter, forget the day
I’m really curious to know what happened to the upstairs apartments
Best thumbnail ever lol
Whow. Summer weather on Japan!
yea, one day its a sunny summer day and the next it snowing
Is this still for sale? I checked your site and I don't see it? I'm looking for a YT studio in this area and this could be perfect.
It's not on my website but it's still for sale. Feel free to reach out directly and we'll talk more
Shocked at the pricing but i guess the age and reworks imagined contributed to it. Can honestly see it as a place for hobbies/entertainment purposes. Heck, a host club would be worthy.
So a Korg keyboardist with a preference for Red Roses everywhere...Kamijo by chance?
and cannot be reached by sunlight? Must be a vampire. Yep, definitely Kamijo.
@@ElmAndChorus Nah, the original: Gackt
Loved the Andrew W.K cd by the toliet lmao
Okay 🤯🤔!!!! I guess it's a zombie apocalypse and adult entertainment apartment. It's definitely got the "No one can hear you scream" vibe going on. I'd be afraid to touch anything, especially the mattress. Kinda reminds me of the temporary Adult Studio Chris had for awhile. I loved the Chris target 😂.
Nice Addition to my Property Portfolio as a BDSM Dungeon.
it snows in summer in northern japan?
The marble desk with the mirror would be called a "vanity." Basically a dressing table.
Is there a listing?
Such a cool channel. I was so close to visiting Japan at one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit Asia. Best of luck on your travels!
Oh dude, what on Earth happened in your life that's kept you housebound for ten years?! I wish you good luck with your health and hope some good fortune comes your way soon.
you post the same comment on anything related to Japan. Move on.
this video was shot in the winter? or does it snow in tokyo in the summer
Yes
I'm not big on guns overall, but archery is definitely my thing and that range would be perfect for me.
As far as the previous owner goes... I'm thinking either Ruki (Gazette), or GACKT. Not really good at guessing, so... yeah.
How difficult would it be to purchase, zone, then convert a parking lot into living space in Japan? Definitely a unique space and truly interesting feather in TokyoPortfolio's proverbial cap.
I was just impressed by the private garage and driveway
I would have guessed Yoshiki from X Japan from the electric piano and the part about it being a very well known eccentric musician in Japan, but given there were no drums I'm going to say probably not him.
just as a reference Alex, to anyone that actually cares about Sound, Bose is not a selling point. In fact it has often been joked it stands for "buy other sound equipment". they spend their money on marketing and not product development, and include components like cones that were in RadioShack house brand systems
Not that it would matter because a marble room is literally an audio nightmare because every single marble surface is incredibly reflective
Believe me, I know
@@TokyoPortfolio Because you enjoy high quality audio I hope ;) i'm always amused when I go and see high end stereo components being sold in the center of Tokyo, where you can't make any noise :-) I guess it properly acoustically treated, this property would be ideal is the listening room being underground
chris not even taking strays...he be taking direct hit
The perfect apartment for a vampire with the lack of windows 😂
Feels like a safe house.
Alex is really embracing the Christopher Nolan in him
Super dope property, what if it floods though.
it seems like a guy named GACKT(never heard of him til now) used to own the place. There's video 3 years ago from Joey "TheAnimeManchild" Bizinger touring the house when the rockstar was still living there.
Cribs of the rising sun, nice evolution, of your portfolio,
Not the Chris target 😂
Instantly thought that this has to be Gackt
Are gardens very uncommon in tokyo ?
Did great Atsushi Sakurai (* Buck-Tick) lived there?
i saw this place in the last ryuichi sakamoto documentary he filmed
Good place for a vampire 😂
Is Hyde the one that used to own this place?
To me this place moreso feels like a museum that you could live in or some kind of weird SM Dungeon lmao
I was gonna say Yoshiki, but Gackt makes sense too.
Since the property was built in the 70’s, I’m gonna go with some older musician guesses. How about Nokko from Rebecca or one of the members of the Southern All Stars?
if the unit had more sensible design it would be much more expensive, the only reason it is so cheap is b/c of how impossible it will be to sell. although with 300k of marble in the unit, you could possibly make some of your money back by selling all of it while doing renovations.
why is there snow in summer
Couldn't pay me to live in this house, gives off creepy vibes, and there's no natural light.
Snow in Tokyo?
Yeah ❤
I’m guessing this was owned by Hyde. It all seems like his style.
Yeah I think so too
I don’t think so because unfortunately if it was hide it will be own by someone else and redesign with different taste. Also hide was more « colourful ». Finally air soft is a more recent sport .
But you are right in the fact it is definitely a visual kei.
Because of the darker design , most recent band with roses my guess is more one of the member of « the gazettE » maybe? No clue
@@aurelienf284 just because something like airsoft is a more recent sport doesn’t mean Hyde couldn’t have gotten into it, WTH? People get into new hobbies all the time.
@@auberginebear I think you and @aurelienf284 are talking about two different Japanese musicians. Namely Hyde (Hideto Takarai) from L'Arc-en-Ciel, Vamps, etc., who is still alive, and hide (Hideto Matsumoto) from X Japan who passed in 1998.
@@shadowypoet didn’t know Hide passed, but I’m talking about Hyde, that’s why I had to edit my response because autocorrect got me, but I also just wanted to counter the idea that people cannot get new hobbies at any age, I didn’t argue anything else because this guessing game is a matter of opinion.
