Hello again John and Kanae, this is Mathew, thank you for letting me say hello in Akihabara station, it was a massive moment for me as its been on my list of things i wanted to do since getting here
The Gentleman Gaijin in Japan hi Mathew! Thank YOU for coming to say hi 👋 sorry it was in the show live and not more “informal” 😂 but still very great to meet you (and everyone else watching!)
You both look so happy! God bless you both! My daughter and I watch your videos every day and we love them!!! Keep up the good work! We want more!!! We wish God allows us to one day go to Japan! Arigato, gozaimas!!! Sayonara!
Hi John and Kanae.Thank you for this awesome live stream. I love Tokyo station ,especially the Marunouchi side and I love the Yamamote line( I love all the Trains subways and Tokyo transportation ..probably one of the in the world). The Jingle of the different stations are beautiful. And as a great fan,lover of Anime, Manga and electronics i love even Akihabara. Btw You are a celebrity ,a Star....You have a lot of fun in Tokyo, from all over the world 😁😀. As usual great live stream John. Thank you and Greetings from Italy
I hope I can go back to Japan and especially Tokyo soon. My life just feels...complete whenever I'm in Akihabara. Everything I want for my hobbies, all in one place...And I especially miss the JR trains and their unique jingles.
@@valentinalim3664 Haneda? Oh that's easier than getting to there from Narita. Normally, I've taken either the subway system or the Airport Limousine Bus, but there's also a monorail system connecting to other stations.
I'm watching you on playback and you're killing me with those donuts!! I will be visiting Japan for the first time at the end of April and those donuts are now on my ever growing list of things I must do! Your videos have been invaluable to me and I thank you so much for making them. I hope to catch up to you during my wanderings come April! If you hear a crazy American yell out your name, it will be me. :)
It's always so touching seeing your live stream, giving me so much vibes and missing the days me and wife spent in Shinjuku and Yamanote line, so typical Japan old model trains.
My wife and I were there two weeks ago. For me it's the best entertainment center and best of all it's FREE it beats Disney Land! Best of all you brought Kanae (sp). along to dress the video up. Great video, thank you John.
Yeh love the omega count down clock!!!!! 👌 If the wife's sick your bound to get it John unfortunately!!! 😞 Always good to see you guys together in vids!!
The episode you did with Scotty from Strange Parts put Akihabara on my list of places to see on our trip - I found shops full of electronic parts, vacuum tubes, and classic audio equipment. This video was a great chance to see all the highlights again.
I’ve never been to Japan, I want to go really bad and these videos are always awesome, the trains still confuse me so I definitely need to get familiar with that before I go!
I've been un Akihabara so many times in my four trips, yet it felt like home since the first moment. The first time I change lines there from Hamanatsucho to Inage and then after having my first meal in Japan witb a fruend and his girlfriend, I made Akiba my first exploration ground. So many memories
Missed you guys by 2 mins was there when the display for the Olympics showed 271 days 2hr 32 Mon. Well maybe next trip to Japan, definitely visiting again.
Traveling to Japan in January and trying to figure out how to take the train. Tokyo to Akihabara. Gonna see if I can do the research for the group for our one off day for our tour.
The Hibiya line exits out to Yodobashi Akiba (and the Yamanote line). I also recommend Pasela/ PARMS. That’s where Kamen Joshi (仮面女子) performs. There’s also a Honey Toast Cafe on the 1st floor.
@13:25 ... you're 100% correct !!! that is the *"Go Longhorns"* hand gesture, used at the University of Texas, at Austin. although, more accurately, we'd say *“Hook ’em Horns!!!”* w/c brings me to my question ... you're a New York guy, & most of your life you've either been traveling or in Japan, so how do you know about *\m/. .\m/* ??? just curious, especially since i graduated from UT & live in Austin. *_note for the curious:_*_ there are other meanings as well, like _*_"Rock On!"_*_ or even _*_"I Love You"_*_ (in sign language, if you're thumb is sticking out)._
I wish .i joined you in the livestream chat room, i'm very impressed with Kanae's english very impressive. i have a story about the dome structures in these grand cathedral places. Get well soon John.
9:51 I thought this part was so cool. It look like John was using special effects, LIVE, but he was just using the power of light and reflections to get this awesome scene. It almost looks like a ghost train.
Yes, the Tokyo station area looking quite pretty now. It took so many years to improve the surrounding environment! (inside and outside) Oh! Ready for 2020 summer game. :) Last time inside was totally blocked and hard to walking around. Yeah, now inside well organized.
Hi Kanae and John, I think, other than in a park, this is the first time I see benches to sit. I have noticed that in the street food streets, there is a lack of places to sit and enjoy. My impression is that there's no garbage nor places to sit. Am I missing something or do Japanese never sit? Good etiquette says we should not walk and eat or drink, but there doesn't seem to be places to do so. :-(
Hello! I know that the Tokyo Station is divided into several levels. But I heard you say in the video that you can see the passage way to the Yaesu side, "so you can go underground or overground." I'm on the Yaesu side, does it matter what side you're on to get to the Yamanote Line? I wish I was closer to the front of the station. I'm going there today and not sure how to get around from the Yaesu side to the JR trains.
They HAVE TO because they’ve too much competition here. Many shops have awesome shu cream puffs :) I’m EXPANDING TOO from eating so many of them! Hahaha 😂
John, aren't you handing out "You Found Me" cards anymore??. Unless this was before you starting doing that. Always nice to see Kanae. Take care from Bethlehem Pa.
john, please clarify each station Does not have it own separate departure melody. station share many melodies. check you tube, the latest example is titled JR departure melodies on a piano played at Shinagawa station. are you scheduled to cover the grand opening of the new Yamanote station JR 26 ? the next time you and the wife have a trip to/from nrt airport . both of you departswith a stop watch, on the. subway..and the other on the bus. both of you record you experiences in your second language,
You’re right Larry, I misspoke. Every station HAS a jingle but not all have an original one. I’ll make it clear in the next video on the Yamanote Line. I’d love to cover it the new Shinagawa Station called Takanawa Gateway Station (高輪ゲートウェイ駅) which opens in spring 2020. Strange that the shops will open in 2024! 😂 I guess they’re building a massive shopping mall there? The building is pretty much done. Looks great! Train goes by no.26 every time on the way to Shinagawa.

9:21 so nostalgic! Everyone that's lived in Japan misses these train melodies. 懐かしいね
I’ve only visited japan but those train melodies really hit my nostalgia! Especially Kanda’s
I really love Akihabara, Tokyo so much.😇👼🙏👍💕💕💕💕💕✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️🌈💫💫💫💫💫🇯🇵🗾🗼
Thank you for posting these they are lovely to watch. Good view and well done. Kanae is also absolutely stunning. I love Japan. Thank you!~
Station + Night + Kanae + Food = The best of all worlds!!! Thanks for the excellent atmospheric video :)
You both look so happy! God bless you both! My daughter and I watch your videos every day and we love them!!! Keep up the good work! We want more!!! We wish God allows us to one day go to Japan! Arigato, gozaimas!!! Sayonara!
Wow, I was around there at almost the same time yesterday! Cheers! I mean Marunouchi!
The long shots of Kanai were a lovely treat. I really enjoyed the purchase of the doughnuts.
Thank you for another great livestream, John. We all love seeing you and Kanae together.

@@valentinalim3664 Haneda? Oh that's easier than getting to there from Narita. Normally, I've taken either the subway system or the Airport Limousine Bus, but there's also a monorail system connecting to other stations.
My husband and I walked past you when you were looking at the donuts. We walked to Akihabara from Ginza 😀
Thank you, John and Kanae! Was an pleasure meeting you in Akihabara today! You guys are very nice. Take care.
John great video, I like so much your style...I hope to know you soon!!!! go head!!! Fantastico!

Btw, enjoy your dinner both of you with お父さん. Hope he liked the 🍩 xD
Sudaru We are eating Yakitori!! Thanks :)

Thank you for this fun livestream John.. Akihabara looks like a fun place to hang-out especially on weekend nights.
Your Vedio's are very good. And I'm always Subscriber for your channel. I'm in India
The Yamanote line, so many memories.... I have some of these station jingles as my ringtone !!!
I am amazed at how many of your viewers showed-up in this livestream. Anyway, it was great to see you and Kanae out and about.
Hi Kanae! I hope you both get well soon. Love this chanel!
Patricia Green thank you Patricia!
I’ve never been to Japan, I want to go really bad and these videos are always awesome, the trains still confuse me so I definitely need to get familiar with that before I go!
Remember 女 for wemon 男 for man. They don't use stick figures for the restrooms.

Thanks! great video!! Akihabara is a must visiting Tokyo...
Nice send off capture of a limited express train on the Sobu Line!
My sister and her family are now living in Japan and can't wait to visit them soon. :)
What a great unplanned live streaming meetup, John!

w/c brings me to my question ...
you're a New York guy, & most of your life you've either been traveling or in Japan, so how do you know about *\m/. .\m/* ???
just curious, especially since i graduated from UT & live in Austin.
*_note for the curious:_*_ there are other meanings as well, like _*_"Rock On!"_*_ or even _*_"I Love You"_*_ (in sign language, if you're thumb is sticking out)._
What an awesome video. I will go when this Covid farce is over.
Coming to Tokyo in June with my kids, will be heading to get those donuts after we dump our bags in the hotel. Can't wait!!!
They’ve been there for a couple of years so will still be there in June for sure!
@@onlyinjapanGO love your videos. I have same passion for food 😂
I was just in aki in August and always wanted to stop at that donut place. Now I REALLY want to.
*sings* Meeeeeeeeeeeemories.... something, something, in my miiiiiiiiiind. / Ahh, I miss Akiba so much! I gotta come back. Thanks John and Kanae!
I wish .i joined you in the livestream chat room, i'm very impressed with Kanae's english very impressive.
i have a story about the dome structures in these grand cathedral places. Get well soon John.
Me too! She’s building confidence and I don’t have to save her anymore :)
Well, this Only In Japan *Go livestream had the most viewers who found you on the streets of Tokyo. How fun!
9:51 I thought this part was so cool. It look like John was using special effects, LIVE, but he was just using the power of light and reflections to get this awesome scene. It almost looks like a ghost train.
The Akihabara station jingle is lit!
Yes, the Tokyo station area looking quite pretty now. It took so many years to improve the surrounding environment! (inside and outside) Oh! Ready for 2020 summer game. :) Last time inside was totally blocked and hard to walking around. Yeah, now inside well organized.
I love Japan the marvellous and the best country in the world I think
Nope no Galaxy Donuts in Hollywood
Hi Kanai, John great coverage vids
Good idea if you can do live-stream meetups more often, John
Kombanwa :) I now live in Australia and I miss the times that I lived in Japan, so many memories. Sugoi daisuki :)
show us the haloween atmosphere in Shibuya John!
Awesome! I miss Akihabara :(
Ever thought of going or been to Square-Enix Cafe on the street level of Yodabashi right behind you ? I've checked for merch there one time.
john show us next time the love satue (愛の像) at the tokyo station and tell us a little bit about the story behind it...thanks!!!
All stations have a unique song? That would make it convenient for those with vision issues.
Awesome video!

I was really surprised how knee friend Tokyo can be, I just had to find the escalators and elevators there’s always one around.

Beard Papa's is expanding into the US now. Their cream puffs are amazing!
They HAVE TO because they’ve too much competition here. Many shops have awesome shu cream puffs :) I’m EXPANDING TOO from eating so many of them! Hahaha 😂
I loved the open plaza next to Tokyo Station. It gives you some breathing space before peak time Yamanote line destroys you 😜
If I visit japan, I hope to run into you guys!
@25:40 the legendary 1 pixel video. Still updating the color but only 1 pixel for the whole screen.
The Keihin-Tōhoku line runs alongside the Yamanote Line from Shinagawa to Tabata!
John, aren't you handing out "You Found Me" cards anymore??. Unless this was before you starting doing that. Always nice to see Kanae. Take care from Bethlehem Pa.
That doll looks like Mr. Nohara, Shin-Chan's father ahahaa
it is
I got laugh when the stream was zooming like "Ant-man" unaccidentally 😂
Hey to you both,from jas and shell in New Zealand
my mom loves jack in the box pumpkin spice shakes in the fall..
The local lady at the 8:00 mark had a look on her face upon seeing John filming like "Ohhh please these tourists..." :)
Hello from Australia too
Ill be there in two weeks
Can you buy electronic appliances in Akihabara and you can use them in the U.S.?
john, please clarify each station Does not have it own separate departure melody. station share many melodies. check you tube, the latest example is titled JR departure melodies on a piano played at Shinagawa station. are you scheduled to cover the grand opening of the new Yamanote station JR 26 ? the next time you and the wife have a trip to/from nrt airport . both of you departswith a stop watch, on the. subway..and the other on the bus. both of you record you experiences in your second language,

She's so lovely 😊
Yes Kanae, please join more. Tokyo is so beautiful at night. $10 for some cake?!!!! Run for the Hills...
get it john
John and Kanae you should each try 4 golden kiwis a day .This will reduce cold symptoms to 2 days and clear your throat issues up overnight.
Tokyo night time vibes!
John: I can’t wait for Olympics
Covid 19 enters the chat.
Yea trick is to have one then walk around for another hour or so to burn it off. Thats one of the things we often fail to do in North America.
I’m from Singapore too!
Shoutout from Columbus, Ohio! Where are you from in the States? I thought I remember you mentioning something about Ohio State one time?
John, where did you eat the tori gyoza on instagram? 😜
Im surprised you have the icoca instead of the suica. 😁 I was told icoca isnt as convenient as suica when in tokyo, how true is this?
Mela Balcita 100% not true. It’s the same and Suica :)
Wellcome tokyo!!
akihabara!!
Kanae is doing suuuch a good job!!!!!! Love to listen her!
Yes we still have jack in the box on the left coast.
Slowly Kanae is going to take over your channel
yes we still have jack in the box.
Wait....
You can buy the jingles? on Itunes? Oh No.... i predict a new ring tone on my phone!
Hallo, may i know the phone did you use for vloging?
iPhone 11 pro
Wow, no wonder.... 👍👍
I've NEVER EVER been on any Yamanote train car that was that empty. I usually equate Yamanote train with sardine time
The longhorn hand gesture is the rock on gesture used by musicians.
we don’t have them in san francisco.
Still have in Tucson
The tunes it plays sounds like a ice cream truck music ..
Hi John and Kanae, 👍❤🇧🇩
Hello 👋
@@onlyinjapanGO so grate
This was the one where the livestream turned into a meet up! I lost count! LOL
Kanae is always fashionably dress!
how do i follow you live?
Hamster vs. Trex bites , almost the same size .... haha
