It so amazes me how much Japan is into gaming and toys. Those stores are so HUGE! And there are so many of them. I wonder if they ever come back to earth. And it seems like everything is wrapped in cellophane, even in the dept. store. It's certainly a different view of Japan than you would get from a normal touristy vlog. LOL Keep 'em coming.
Glad I watched the first episode till the end. Otherwise I would not have seen the Playlist/second episode. I binge watch your Japan vlogs every year and can't wait for the next episode
The pirate rangers one is “Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger”, which was adapted into Power Rangers Super Megaforce, and the train rangers are called “Ressha Sentai ToQger”. That one never got adapted into a Power Rangers in the US, but the villain suits have been used in Ninja Steel and Dino Fury
Reminds me of my home state of Hawaii we have Book-Off and Don Quijote there too and even our 7-11 sells rice balls man I miss it I live in LA now and the food section here is horrible.
Hey Robby. When were you in Japan for these videos? I was there for two weeks in September 2019. We happened to be there in between two major storms, and the weather was unbearable. Thanks.
Hi! Greeting from the Philippines, just wondering, what is the name of the Retro Store and where is it located? Thanks in advance. Kudos to your channel Sir! Had a new list of what to hit in Japan on my next visit :)
I LOOOOOOVE Chrono Cross so much it is such a beautiful game for it's time OMG. I haven't finished chrono trigger yet i do have it tho. I hope you guys are safe from the virus. Idk if these videos were previously recorded and you are back in the states or what. Be careful!
Haha, probably safe in Japan. There's a whole ocean separating them from China. It was funny though because I went near O'Hare airport the other day and right after I got home I saw that was where one of the first cases of it in the US was
The Darryl thing is from a somewhat popular 80s sitcom in the US where there are two half-wit brothers both named Darryl. I never really saw the program except in passing and can't remember the name of it, but I think Bob Newhart might have been in it.
Weird how TH-cam stopped recommending these to me out of the blue 🤔. Also the store you were in with all the old retro games and lenses was the spelling: "book off"? I'd like to add it to possible places to visit!
New subscriber here! Quick question: Now if you buy these games in Japan, are they only available in Japanese or do they sell English ones too? I wanted to buy PS1 games but reluctant to do so as I am unable to understand the language (at least for now). Hoping anyone can answer.
I think most of the stuff in there is either new/unopened, or a special edition of some sort. I imagine the Wii is just unopened, so that's a little bit rare
Total envy seeing Robby being browsing through all them stuff in this episode. Also love how it shows different aspect of Japan that others hardly show.
Ah, I do not actually, just too much of a hassle. But the ones I've used in the past are Tiffen, and I can say neither good nor bad things about the, haha, but they seem okay.
@@RobbyHuang Haha well I guess the magic happens in your editing. I always find your videos very pleasing to watch plus the music selection is always excellent. Thank you for the response. 🙏
Thanks a lot, my name is Daryl and I have three christian brothers name Daryl, Darryl and Darrell as well. One's a police officer, one's a senior pastor and one works in the astronomy field, and I'm retired from a multi billion dollar corporation. So you see we're not all idiots. 😊
@@RobbyHuang Yeah especially for a country that seems to live so side by side with nature. Great serious though man. You've kept me company while out of commission these last few days. Great work!

I've watched you Japan video you deserved more subcribers!!! Keep up the Great Work!
I just binge-watched all your Japan vids - keep up the great work!

Whoa! Jarring to see Michael's son. I remember in your first (or second?) Japan vlogs when he was just born. Time sure does fly.
Yeah, it's crazy when I look back and see that. He was just barely a human then haha

Japan is surely a paradise for gamers, especially for those who are into retro ones.
Reminds me of my home state of Hawaii we have Book-Off and Don Quijote there too and even our 7-11 sells rice balls man I miss it I live in LA now and the food section here is horrible.
I could easily go broke in that toy store. Saw a bunch of stuff that I collect in the background as you looked around.
Man, that Don Quijote looks huge! Or at the very least far more spacious than the ones I've been to in Tokyo.
@0:37 8000 yen for a gba sp, that's a bit expensive, are prices going up?
Hey Robby. When were you in Japan for these videos? I was there for two weeks in September 2019. We happened to be there in between two major storms, and the weather was unbearable. Thanks.
13:55
Oh, hey, that one store chain that always pops up in the Yakuza games.
**showing a ketchup/mustard pack**
"You keep squeezing, the more comes out"
Robby: **laughing** that's how it works
The SLR camera bodies were way expensive
7:07 RIP Green Ranger.

Nice vlog! 😊🇯🇵🌸
You have a very pleasant voice, great to hear.👍

Ah, okay! That could make some sense.
It was called Newhart. Lol.

The apple pie kitkats have been the best I've tried so far! Good one Darrell! 😜🤣👍
I could watch this shit all day...
Toy planet looks amazing!
Hi Robby! Still in Japan? I live in Tokyo if you are up for drinks or I can show you around (I leave near by Ueno)
Ah man, sadly no! This was in November. I will let you know next time I'm there though and we can meet up. I will definitely be back haha
That looks so awesome
New subscriber here! Quick question: Now if you buy these games in Japan, are they only available in Japanese or do they sell English ones too? I wanted to buy PS1 games but reluctant to do so as I am unable to understand the language (at least for now). Hoping anyone can answer.
Definitely only Japanese. There's some games where it doesn't really matter (like a fighting game for instance), but it's all gonna be japanese.
Thank you@@RobbyHuang. Well, I guess it's time to pay for Japanese lessons then because I need those games in my life. More power!
@0:29 why is the wii more expensive than a new switch lite?
I think most of the stuff in there is either new/unopened, or a special edition of some sort. I imagine the Wii is just unopened, so that's a little bit rare
Total envy seeing Robby being browsing through all them stuff in this episode. Also love how it shows different aspect of Japan that others hardly show.
Robby do you use ND filters on your videos and if yes what brand can you recommend thank you.
Ah, I do not actually, just too much of a hassle. But the ones I've used in the past are Tiffen, and I can say neither good nor bad things about the, haha, but they seem okay.
@@RobbyHuang Haha well I guess the magic happens in your editing. I always find your videos very pleasing to watch plus the music selection is always excellent. Thank you for the response. 🙏
No problem, thanks man :)
DONKI! My favorite store.
Thanks a lot, my name is Daryl and I have three christian brothers name Daryl, Darryl and Darrell as well. One's a police officer, one's a senior pastor and one works in the astronomy field, and I'm retired from a multi billion dollar corporation. So you see we're not all idiots. 😊
Hahaha, good to know!
Haha what an interesting dinner
The first store looks like an old, epic Kmart. : )
Nice to see fellow retro game hunters! :D I do it regulary in Nagoya if anyone wants to check it out :)
I went to Japan in 2018 and I didn't buy nothing, and seeing this hurts me
Japan looks awesome, but damn, does EVERYTHING need to be individually wrapped in plastic? Call me a hippie, but it seems like a little much.
Hahaha, you're not the only one. It's definitely a bit much.
@@RobbyHuang Yeah especially for a country that seems to live so side by side with nature. Great serious though man. You've kept me company while out of commission these last few days. Great work!
It's a Culture thing it's all about presentation though Japan has one of the highest recycling rates in the world at 84%.
i want
id love to goto Japan but as a vegan may be impossible :)
