For the record I had radishes with me but I got nervous
Pretty late man
Performance anxiety?
I'll be severely disappointed if you don't start a radish farm.
Sumito! Shout out from your fan in nova
You always keep the thang on you
When in a foreign country, ALWAYS follow strangers to abandoned buildings! That's where they keep the good stuff.
Last time i did this i woke up and my anus was a bit sore? Maybe i did something wrong?

imagine sitting on a couch minding your own business unaware that your house is being roasted by two people thousands km away from you.
And probably three years later.
thats just the internet in general

Potentially in a different language you don't know.
not to mention those two guys is thousands of km away from each other, putting your house on blast for millions

I wrote an essay covering the Long Long Man commercials in my college marketing class. It’s the only research paper I actually enjoyed writing, and it was also my first ‘A’ on an essay.

Sumito not being able to keep a straight face while discussing the acidity of the dirt for their pretend radish farm is my favourite thing today

I use to work as a utility in a hotel near the so called suicide forest for six years. The parking lot at the back that people rarely see (because it's covered in trees and other vegetation) is full of abandoned cars of the people who took their own life in the forest. The size of the parking lot is like 8 or 10 basketball courts. And every November first and second we put sunflower in hood of every abandoned car to pay respect to the the owners. That hotel has already close in 2014.
Other people saw that 'breast milk' was a flavor, right?
It’s just tit juice
Isn't all milk breast milk. That doesn't come from a fat nut.

9:06 * Internet Historians zoom in on my house *
"It's been a difficult year."
As someone who is haft Japanese and has visited, the reason why a lot of windows are just nets is because a ton of people just don't use their air conditioning, so they keep windows open, usually the metal screens aren't enough to keep the bugs out, so some people put nets and whatnot over their screens.
I wasn’t aware that radishes could only grow in fluoroantimonic acid
I wasn't aware such a substance existed, thanks for the info!
Maybe now my radishes will start to grow.
Anne Aunyme yep, it has a pH of -32 (that’s not even a joke, we only have 1 material that can hold it) so it’s perfect for radishes :)
Fluoroantimonic acid doesn't have pH because it isn't soluable in water.
Internet historian is an educational channel
@@dexis9412 I assume that the material in question is Radish?
Your attention span in this video was worse than that of a gold fish, I can’t comprehend how you went from looking at weird kit kats to flying 16 hours to look at farmland.

There is not a single place in Virginia like that.

I love this so much, It just starts off all about kit kats in japan. And then 18 minutes in they are talking about a bio degradable paper cup island.
9:10 I'd say they're mosquito nets, because they're so close to the river. There's a window set in on the bottom floor patio behind the net, and the patio on the top is a small walkout patio that is wrapped.
**69 year old smoker vocie** You want some radishes?
A pH of -20 would melt your feet. Only a radish is strong enough to survive
The scale stops at 0, so i guess the soil would actually react with the earth.
@@Isaac-LizardKing no, there are chemicals with negative pH. The scale is logarithmic, so hypothetically any number pH is possible.

-Almost everyone loves head umbrellas
-Radish farming is serious business
-Vending machines will soon take over the World
-Spooky

did you forget about the cup island you could buy instead of a watch?
Oh no, not my worst fear! Vending Machines will become the dominant race? I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN! - doofinshmirtz probably
-some dude keeps his porn in an abandoned building
What a beautiful journey, from talking about Japanese Kit Kats, to trying to find the Suicide Forest on Google Maps, to flying to West Virginia to start a radish farm, to going to an abandoned bowling alley in Japan.
One of those seems odd but i can't quite Put my Finger on why
Put this video back in the ITF playlist, it's a classic

9:27 Sumito predicts TheVarus™.
How tf did we start seeing kit kats and went to west virginia to a apartment in japan and I didn't notice something strange
im pretty sure that was not west virginia
It was that Japanese guy with an umbrella hat that paved the way lmao
*P A P E R C U P*
It follows the format of a conversation so that's probably why. If you pay more attention to when you talk to people you can see your convo's devolving into the strange stuff from the strangest stuff. Like how my conversation about finger guns and other hand gestures slowly changed into a deep, emotional and existential adventure about friendship, perception, meaning and love.
the power of editing
Hearing internet historian explain his theory on the high end fashion blew my mind
It actually makes sense. Quite genius. To counter low demand, you make the supply very low. Then make it expensive. Market it as scarce and exclusive. If you don't like it, "you just don't get it". It is the perfect scheme for depriving idiots of their money.
@@dirrdevil this applies to anything with SALES, 2 for 1 deals or like when theyre getting rid of their inventory. Everyone in america is actually tricked by this lol its nothing new
@@dirrdevil I hate this whenever you actaully want something. Collectibles sometimes are made in low amounts even though there is pretty high demand. only being produced once or once every year
It's all down to status and prestige, mostly driven by exclusivity through low quantity or outrageous prices. I do wonder if people who buy that kind of stuff genuinely prefer it to cheaper stuff aesthetically
That's just how it is with the branding-reliant brands, like Gucci, Fendi, Off-White, Balenciaga, etc. People will buy all of their ugly shit just because the name is on it. See Off-White belt, Gucci belt/flip flops, ugly Balenciaga dad sneakers, and Fendi everything. Of course, people are scrambling for those items specifically because of mob mentality (they've seen it a million times on instagram) and anyone who can scrape together $600 or so can get one, but you get my point. Even if it's a monstrous piece of crap like that rainbow tiger pullover, people will still get it because Gucci and there was a song about it. They have the clout of saying it's "the Gucci pullover". With other high-fashion, haute couture stuff, it has to rely on the actual design and craftsmanship of the clothes (Tom Brown, Celine, Rick Owens). These may be names you haven't heard before because they don't rely on obnoxious branding, thus their names don't quite permeate the fashion sphere. Very sad, because there's quite a lot of artistry in the fashion industry people never hear about because they're so repulsed by these massively expensive, elitist doo doo clothes, and rightfully so.
We haven't had much of the Japanese guy, but I already want him to be my dad.
Watching this video a second time and it has more great moments that I remember. The fashion clothes theory (15:27) opened my eyes (If it was widely known at least I didn't know about it).
And at the end, it still amazes me how a building that was abandoned 9 years ago can be so easily accessed, has so many curious things inside and hasn't been completely emptied. There's even electronics and other things. In my country it would be all graffitied, completely barebones and maybe there would be people living inside.

"The Japanese like more mild flavors..."
"Want a wasabi KitKat?"
@@RedLemon69 the chocolate probably counters most of the spice
@@RedLemon69 real wasabi actually isn't spicy at all
spicy wasabi isn't authentic and is instead modified horseradish
I don't know what you pussies are whining about, it's just wasabi. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat my daily 4 pm snack of a Jalapeño kitkat
I feel like the Japanese artist Squilliam fancy pants of the Asian community, so pretentious and douchy.
My favorite line in this entire video, is during the "Long Long Man" commercials.
IH asks; "Why is he still walking around with the small one, if he knows the long one exists?
Sumet; "He's doin' his best!"
Cracks me up everytime.
Also, at the end of it, Sumet asks; "Why did he even need to think about it? She was ready to drop him at the second of a hat."
What he meant was; "At the drop of a hat" or "In a second", so....we got "at the second of a hat."
Which i have also found eternally amusing.
This is the best episode of ITF you cannot change my mind.
Just because this went from kitkat to aogigahara then somehow to grawing raddishes while literally being in the field.
Holy shit the DEEPEST LORE on Long Long Man, that was an emotional journey.

I’m currently living in Japan and I can confirm the amount of vending machines are ridiculous.
Also, Long Long Man is everyone’s delivery man.
How the hell do they maintain them all? I'd be worried about getting one that's been sitting in the sun for several years..
Have you married him yet?
Tahu Nuva It would depend on where you live and the quality of the vending machine. I live 5 minutes away from a train station and I pass at least 7 vending machines before reaching the station that just has 6 of them on the outside and not including the ones inside. I think some people technically own some vending machines as one of my neighbors sells fresh fruit and vegetables in his garage and there is a Coca Cola vending machine right next to his shop. I’ve seen him open it with a key, stock cans in there, and collect money. I assume that he technically owns it, but I’m probably wrong about that.
Kat Katterson I’m going to be honest. I don’t know.
One moment, you’re with him, tearing a piece of L O N G candy, and then there’s only after images of him.
@@Scarb1984 that makes sense.. Thanks for r the eggsplanation, I'll be sure to toss a few coppers into your vending machine if you know what I mean when I'm next in Tokyo (plot twist: I've never been to Tokyo and am high af)

About wasabi, keep in mind that most commercial wasabi you eat is actually horseradish (though part of the same family) with food colouring. Actual wasabi would lose its flavour fairly quickly after grinding it up.

I like your high fashion theory. But I saw ugly embroidered Gucci rip offs in PacSun over a year ago and people do buy it.
Ugly is the new fashion
Rip
Pacsun is broke gucci
I refuse to believe you've even seen a PacSun in any less than the past 9 years
I don't think the look of those clothes is the selling point. It's just the fact that people can strut around in clothes that cost way too much money. "I bought this ugly ass shirt for $400 and now you know I had $400 to spend on this ugly ass shirt!" They can be any design they want, so long as it's distinct, and just the fact that they are so expensive will draw the rich to them. Then the people who follow the trends set up by the rich, because they themselves want to appear rich, just jump on the bandwagon thinking it will make other people believe they, too, are rich.
That's the only theory I can come up with that makes any kind of sense. I mean that garish shirt that was shown in the video looks like someone ate a bunch of wool and clothing dye then threw it all up and weaved the result into a shirt. No one looks at that and thinks, "How awesome is that shirt!?" I may also be hopelessly out of touch.
anyone else think if ih and sumito started a podcast talking about random shit it would be the most entertaining podcast ever
I am convinced that this is the origin of the modern “In The Field” video series, and I’m grateful for it. Such a great series!
The progression of this video made it seem more like a fever dream than the rest
