So, we're here to watch a tour of a music store by a guy who doesn't know music?

@cax1175 Год назад

Next he's gonna give us a tour of a beard grooming establishment.

Can't believe you're not into music or anime 😭

Also If you don't do music what the heck do you do with those headphones around your neck

That coke had a character from an Anime called bleach - Ichigo ( guy with the orange hair). Wonder if it was just meant to be a normal coke Zero with that character on it. Like how we randomly get Christmas cans, Olympic cans, etc

Going to Japan for Sakura season this year, so early April. Literally a childhood dream. Hoping for Metroid goodies

@mookie3three Год назад

Akihabara was great to go to the arcades. Other than that super expensive for shopping. The best drink in Japan is Pocari Sweat. The best thing about the convenience stores was the beer selection. Amazing!!

@gerryfearon7905 Год назад

I didn't know Tower Records was closed in America. We have two in Dublin Ireland here, and I've seen a few in other European countries. Definitely not gone. One of the stores in Dublin is about 3 stories high. Great video!

I never have, but I started going long after that was over.

Interesting to get the perspective on being a foreigner in Japan. although that story about the bathroom incident, I can't believe the toilets have/need a button like that! Seeing the Japanese Tower Records was pretty cool, I had one near me when I lived in sacramento but it also folded at some point years ago. I think it's a goodwill now? they definitely make use of the old CD/record/DVD shelves for sure.

@neccros007 Год назад

KFC in Japan stands for Kentucky For Christmas

@greasemonkey5637 Год назад

Great video as always! The video quality really seems to have improved too.

@J.Wick. Год назад

Super cool man! I miss Japan. Never lived there, but got to visit on more than one occasion in the Navy. Always was one of my favorite ports. I plan to go back sometime soon and just hangout for a week or two. Glad I found your travel channel, been a fan of your main channel for years! Cheers!

@MetalGreggNY75 Год назад

Tower Records though is alive and well. You can buy physical media via mail order from them.

@Mwoods2272 Год назад

Japan also has Toy R Us and Oshman's too. The emergency button is in the Men's restroom too, it's also used for medical purposes, like if you have a heart attack or seizures and pushing it is not against the law.

@darioprime Год назад

I'm surprised you hadn't mentioned the best place for getting cash, assuming your debit card works, the atms in 7-11.

I thought it said lawsuit in the thumbnail, with it being obscured by the video length. And I thought you were way too excited about a lawsuit.

Sasebo was a pretty neat little town also. Believe it was a decent way from Tokyo. But it had a pretty cool downtown area to it. Might be worth checking out if time allows.

@nickmorris6839 Год назад

You went to a Lawson! That's actually crazy. They started out as a dairy store in the Cleveland, Ohio area before being taken over by a Japanese company. The last remnant of Lawson's in the U.S./Ohio is that you can still get their sour cream-based chip dip at certain Circle K stores. If you ever see Lawson's chip dip it is pretty insanely good and worth a pick up.

@AdamEatsTheWorld Год назад

Lawson's are super common there. Also, not totally true. They have Lawson's in Hawaii.

@BJWanlund Год назад

I remember the Virgin Megastore so I assume Tower Records was similar? That definitely will be a Must Hit place in Japan whenever I go

Tropicana exists here in Belgium too, odd sight in japanese packaging o_O Hey I've been enjoying these videos, counting down until my own trip, keep uploading them!

@Jimddddd1981 Год назад

Maybe it’s just because I’m so used to the way things look in the USA, but the packaging on food and drinks look way more interesting and creative over there.

@anthonyolsen6625 Год назад

Japan has had English signage for years and English announcements on Shinkansen and on the bigger cities rail system for years. They had English signage and announcements back in 1997 when went there for the first time.

Today we join our Bearded Nerd as he continues his Japanese Adventure. In this part he's just wandering around showing off some cool sites and sounds of a Hard-Off. He alkso shares some travel tips and stories and gets food. He also checks out a blast from the past, a Tower Records store. - Seems like day 2 and 3 were a great time looking forward to next Time Adam. I'm sure it will be awes..... YOKOSUKA?! OH MAN! YES! 😁

@MetalGreggNY75 Год назад

Tower Records was one of my favorite places to buy music. I used to go to one in Paramus, NJ. I would get CDs, music videos on VHS & DVD, music related books, music mags, etc. Fuckin’ Napster ruined it! I miss Tower Records.

Actually Dr. Pepper is distributed by either Coke or Pepsi depending on what part of the US your in they just don’t put their name on it here. In San Diego where I live Coke distributes Dr. Pepper. Think it’s an old agreement that whoever owns Dr. Pepper now still honors. Fountain rights not sure how that’s handled as they appear on either a coke or pesi fountain.

@ericng5707 Год назад

Just so the viewers are clear, he filmed going to the Eco Town in Hachioji, but his monologue about being a foreigner in Japan was filmed as he was going to another Hardoff in Nagatsuta.

Correct.

I noticed that too. I live in Hachioji and visit Eco town quite a bit and have been to the Offhouse in Nagatsuta.
