Revisiting my old Tokyo Neighborhood | SHINOZAKI

[Music] wow [Music] [Music] i forget how i used to live in a place where there weren't a lot of people at all this is shinozaki kind of like the countryside or a suburb of of tokyo i haven't been here in about two years and i thought that and and if you've been watching this only in japan go channel for a while you've been here many times before i've done midnight snack runs here i've done my apartment tour here and because i still get my hair cut from the same guy that i've been going to for the last 10 years plus i thought i would take you for a little trip around this suburban area of tokyo and it's kind of a neat little town you really get a chance to see a slice of tokyo's life not in the center but in edogawa cou or edogawa ward this is where um i guess you would say one of the outer wards out of the outer center of the city of tokyo so let's let's get our mask on and go take a look around there's really not a lot of people during the weekdays here i love that about this place it's famous for the park shirozaki has a beautiful park and you can see that represented in the subway station they didn't have these barriers here the last time i was here either so i see that the city of tokyo has been making well the wind is so strong in these canals all right we got this wow it's like i never left and yet i i did it looks so weird [Music] all right let's let's make our way outside and again there's some more trees represented inside of the station of shinozaki here we go i lived here from 2005 to 2018 about 13 years and i took the escalators maybe 15 20 times i always took the stairs because i saw this as a challenge always take the stairs let's see is the bakery still here oh it's still here let's go at the s the north entrance for a second here wow amazingly nothing has changed a lot of the businesses are still here i don't remember that guy on the blue bicycle though that's that kuri udon shop that smells so good a book shop which i don't know how they stay in business but they do and the mcdonald's is still here bamiyan the chinese restaurant up there on the second floor still here wow shinozaki eki my clinic that's still here i've been sick i was sick and used to going there all the time all the time like three times but wow that does not look different at all it just feels like where have i been all this time oh that's new oh they changed this is a a pharmacy shop has changed hands that's completely different oh no the don quixote that was here is out of business that really stinks because when that came in i thought that was amazing because it's such a kind of a quiet boring little town in a way i guess you could you say that if you compare it to shibuya so when a don quixote came in it was like well we got something really cool that everybody else has outside of the you know this area but it's gone now things didn't last very long i do have a couple of stories uh it's starting with right here these bells these bells used to go off every single hour until about 8 p.m and after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami those bells stopped ringing they shook up really bad and i guess something broke on the inside but it never turned on again after that i never heard i never heard those bells again so for the first six years that i lived here i knew on the hour because i lived in that building just across the street from there a really not beautiful pink and gray building there it was always that color i didn't mind so much because the location right next to the station i could run from my apartment to the station entrance in like 30 seconds but it's still a good 30 minute ride to get the ginza there's a supermarket 30 seconds away from my door there's actually three supermarkets pretty close to my my door so blown away by the past here so i noticed that all of the bakeries have started to wrap all of their baked goods as a protective measure and then you can heat it up when you get back home maybe i'll get one of these before i go back this bakery was not here it was here when i first moved here went out of business and then it came back it's changed hands so many times hey brenda mick is here aloha and cody s nice to see everybody jeff eng is here sorry just missed japan more this is making me miss my hometown where there was a daiso 100 yen shop upstairs on the fourth floor i remember when that came in and i was freaking out i don't have to travel to harajuku to the 100 yen store anymore i have it 30 seconds away from my house that was really cool hey look they changed the signs it says vegetables in english just one vegetable interesting i'm gonna be like this probably for the next 30 minutes going hey it's still here matsumoto kyoshi this is a this chain came in before that this was a supermarket called wise market that went out of business and then matsumoto kyoshi came in uh upstairs on the third floor came in a gym but that was kind of pricey so i never i never ever went there because the community gym was just uh like like a 1.80 per visit so i just would go to the community gym but in front of the station here you're gonna see a lot of pachinko and there's one right there there's another one right there and that building that was a don quixote also was a pachinko parlor there was just surrounded by pachinko parlor so the station fronts or ekimai in japan isn't always really great this used to be sumitomo ginkgo the bank but now it's a a medical um center and i'm gonna go just take a look at the entrance of my uh apartment building here this is the building i used to live in up there what that is so new they tore down what was there a parking lot and they built a building they built a building there was a parking lot here what i'm in shock and i might be watching this at home and she's shocked too that means i'm so glad that i moved because my view is now blocked if i was living up there right there my view would be completely blocked i used to watch you know stuff going down in the parking lot now it's a building it's pretty weird what well that's new check that out there's a tree at my entrance did they plant a tree in my entrance wow and the management gave them new air conditioners that's i was waiting a long time for that you know look at this this is all like high classy they even changed the name of the building to to uh something different it was kind of a weird and they put security cameras how how high class that is now there's a tree here what i like the fact that they added higher gates there's better security that made me that makes me feel good after the fact used to be some suspicious people going in there and now they have an auto lock and there's a box where you can leave leave packages down underneath here that's great so you don't have to meet with the uh delivery people you just they just leave it there and they tell you it's in box number one two three four five i like that system but there's an auto locks people can't just walk in anymore that's so smart look how clean it is man i moved out and they classened up the place weird wow this this school has been here forever as well since the day i moved in in 2005 julia international school and i i never really said hi to julia i guess she was the western lady who would walk around here but there's a lot of kids in there and they would say hello in english they try to talk with me and then they get nervous and run away this station area is only busy during the fireworks the edogawa fireworks festival which is the first saturday in august you can't even see the blacktop because there's so many people here going towards the riverside but they get off at shinozaki station and it's pretty neat to see my apartment right up there is now there's some dude in there should go knock on it but i can't even get in they added security it's probably smart by the way we are 50 people away from 10 000 on our discord server that's pretty massive discord.ggiscord.gg only in japan is a 24-hour community where people are talking about it and i'm always sharing photos there what that used to be some old guy shop where he was selling uh something i forget i don't even know what he was selling i used to always say hi to him but now it's a pachinko um you take the balls here for pachinko and you get cash like around the back they found a way to this make the system work oh here's the park when the 2011 earthquake hit i grabbed my hamster kiki and i ran outside and we ran to this park because the ground was shaking wow i'm glad that they for for many years they just would never cut the weeds here and finally they did and people started to use this in fact this is my pull-up bar you see that that was my pull-up bar for a couple of it's years this is also like a garbage dump here people were dumping stuff and now the grass has grown back that's great used to be really kind of dirty but this this area the suburbs of tokyo and this will take you down to the river as well if we go straight there we're going to walk down the back this area of tokyo has seen a boom and i checked on the prices of my apartment and the real estate has really gone up so i used to pay a hundred thousand yen a month or about i don't know a little bit less than a thousand dollars a month to live here which is which is kind of a lot for for this area but it's not because it's tokyo well they raised the rent by i think it was like 300 a month so they must have really done a good job on the inside but i i really loved the tatami mats that they had inside my apartment that was the clincher for me because it felt like i was in japan and smelled really nice but they got rid of the tatami mats and tatami is just really hard to take care of but over the since 2005 when i moved here so many people were moving out to edogawa because it was cheaper taxes more land a little bit safer schools were we're good it's more relaxed out here you could raise a family out here the highway uh is right there that's uh route 14 and you can see the highway above there goes towards narita airport so there's a lot of good stuff here about living in this area boy did i do a lot of uh midnight snack runs here let's just chuck this up to memory lane japanese building names are funny they are called there's one called rest in peace which i'm sure is a botched translation obviously the name of the apartment now is called um um cosmos or something it's kind of a weird name check out this parking garage right for the apartment building i know sometimes in the countryside they'll go up too high this goes four high how'd you like your car up there it goes on like this this rotating thing before it comes down but it's kind of neat you can see it from the outside i guess you gotta imagine trying to if you forgot something in your car you got to either wait for it to come down for a couple of minutes or you gotta climb it like spiderman i don't think i could do either it's just so different because this building was not here before it was a parking lot so again for those joining us this is shinozaki the city that i used to live in the town it's on the toe shinjuku line pretty much at the end and i lived here from 2005 to 2018. 13 years i was paying rent the landlord and the neighbors were i was really good friends with everybody and i didn't come here that often but i did a couple of times this is a rib roast rib ross wow little bloody comes with a miso soup and rice it smells the same wow i don't know if i'd want to live here though this is new so i'm going to take you through the community center where i used to go to which is about 30 seconds from my apartment as well i can't even see it from here yet that's weird there's my building in the center my view would be gone yeah i can't even see my apartment anymore because of this building in the way i'm kind of glad that i left oh here's the 7-eleven that i used to go to a couple of midnight snack runs on the left side i always hit the 7-eleven let's see if it's still there xot-01 is a new traveler welcome hey john kimura i actually you know ramsay silent has also been giving uh super chats to get stuff for kanai and just the other day i bought a massive flower bouquet i'll put it on instagram a little bit later and share it in our discord server but i know what you mean whoa they're like all high-tech and stuff what they have like all these um um self-checkout things now i guess you just pay there's almost nobody in there but this was my supermarket of choice and i used to go in here all the time this this exit's always been closed during the typhoons though when the typhoons rolled in they had sandbags all through here to make sure that the water wouldn't come in yeah the 7-eleven still there did a couple of midnight snack runs here and then i would i would set the camera on a tripod the over there let's go inside i hope the signal stays strong kids would always be like trading pokemon cards in here this is where all the shogak say would trade cards they'd sit on the floor and trade cards and stuff and i would yell at them and they'd run away i didn't do that not really whoa it's interesting to see inside of a japanese supermarket like that very cool so this is this is where you can get free water and i would buy i would buy a bottle and i could come here push the button and get get you a like four liter bottle of free filtered water which is kind of neat it's an atm they have little concerts here too i think they're still doing it i think they moved it to the third floor it's nice this is part of the community center of edogawa ward and it's only a it's really close to the um station front ekimai [Music] [Music] they started charging for bags too [Music] wow [Music] every store you got to pay pay money if you want a plastic bag which is probably a good thing probably a good thing hey we got a lot of members leosand's a traveler hey leo and project tensai how you doing thanks guys um this is the uh west exit of shinozaki station this didn't actually exist when i moved here they built this a little bit later in fact this whole building was built over the time that i was here in shinozaki but you can see out here it is really quiet and uh i used to walk this way to go to the post office to deliver the postcard clubs cards too it's a nice what about three minute walk to get there so let's let's do that let's walk over there and then we're gonna double around and i want to give you as i said when we started this a slice of suburban life in tokyo and the population of this place is skyrocketing it was skyrocketing when i left so many apartment buildings have been going on the result was that a lot new a lot of new shops were coming in more clinics more more um dentists more supermarkets hey jennifer french is here you are welcome and our friend chicago african is here too i you know what i think there's a severe vending machine all right well you know what i'll i'll stop by and see what see what we can find there i think it's right ahead i might have stopped at that beer vending machine a couple of times in midnight snack runs wow this is so weird to be back here hey jim on sunfo looking for some coffee i'm always on the lookout for some good coffee old stomping grounds there's a couple of cafes but really you had to make your own in your house or go downtown wow it's like nothing has changed here's the liquor shop hiromaru this is the tallest building in shinozaki used to be green they changed at brown about 10 years ago if i ever got lost i just had to aim for that building and i would get back because some of these streets they don't go in the grid pattern kind of all over the place so these these little mom and pop shops um they're probably not doing too well or they might be doing better because it's in a residential area so people do have to get stuff all right here's your here's your beer vending machine here what i'm gonna do is let's check to see what they got here interesting they do have the corn soup you know what i like they have these mini beers so mr das and and everybody else i can i can uh uh get something here hold on i don't have any coins i don't have any coins it doesn't take it doesn't take the suica this is old school okay there's a 1000 yen no note taker all right let's do it support our local vending machine there's a cup of sake oh i got a couple of a couple other cups sake all right let's go for this uh really small asahi it's like it's like a it's uh it's what is this eight ounces this used to be a oh it's like a cafe now it used to be a somebody from the philippines that opened up a little filipino shop but i don't think the population for filipinos was very big so not a lot of people went into the filipino market i used to go in there i would just say hi what is this stuff buy something and then leave all right i guess there's nobody around we can kind of kind of go like this i think this is the style um look how small this thing is they have they actually they have cans that are even smaller they're like thimble sized i think it's a hundred a hundred uh milliliters i don't know why they have it i guess it's because um husbands will buy this for their wives so that they can have just a taste of beer and it kind of is kind of fun to do and i i would buy this for kanai and she doesn't drink alcohol so she'd like go like this and then she would never really drink any more than that and i would finish it but um pretty neat here hold on a second all right compi it's cute it's not bad it's beer it's cold now technically you're not supposed to walk around with the with a beer in your hand people do it so i know that i already know in advance that there's a 7-eleven up the street so i'm just going to um i'm going to try to make my way to the 7-eleven and then throw the empty can out there oh my mask smells like beer now oh this is the lag zone yes sorry guys there might be a lag for some reason nothing no signal gets through here get the other side this is a pretty good size 250 milliliters all right the signal should come on right now it's so quiet here i love it all right nice carrie i do kind of miss the quiet a little bit but after 13 years here i was really excited to leave as well because there's something amazing about exploring a new area and getting used to it it was fresh and i think i needed that in my life at that time and kanai and i found a bigger place that we could both be more comfortable and closer to her family as well i'm going to show you a second another thing that i really loved about this neighborhood um see where that guy's walking we're going to go in that that direction in a second so let me just throw this uh brewski away ah okay we'll put the recycle bins on the inside oh here it is there's a park over there with a guy who used to have a yakitori stand and he would wheel the yakitori stand uh out there to sell it in front of the park right there so he used to be there at 6 00 pm i'm surprised he's not there [Music] it's korean restaurant and a kind of a bakery but they had this here um this goes all the way to the river the edogawa river and there's actually carp in here koi so let's see if we can find some koi but i think sometimes the kids try to fish them or something i don't know because kids you know the good thing about living here kids can just go outside and play and when they're playing sometimes they're like fishing i don't know if they're allowed to do that though parents just say you know in japan when kids get punished parents don't tell the kids to go to their room they do the opposite they say go outside so when when a kids get grounded they're asked to leave the house isn't it this is the complete opposite of the us whoa that's pretty cool so inside they have like a greenhouse and they're kind of uh shinosaki is is uh really famous for having uh um some pretty good vegetables some urban farming going on in there that's the first time i've seen anybody in there i was a little bit surprised no koi i guess the kids have fished them all out oh there's big a this was the like fringe supermarket big a with the blue sign there it was open 24 hours but it kind of really never had anything in there it's like a fringe supermarket i don't it's hard to explain can you see yourselves living here what do you think livable oh taco wheels 30. welcome to a traveler traveler hey raymond centeno's here not sure if you need another shot of beer but i'm gonna go back to that bakery and get something for kanai as a snack for sure she she knows there's a couple of items that she does like that that they don't make at any any other place that i'll i'll bring back and this is gonna be surprising for her that's gonna be fun wear the carp oh there they are how you doing there they are they're hiding i should have brought some like oh we went underneath there let's get them out obviously the carp are far smarter than i am doesn't work hey nothing somebody said if you spit they eat it it's kind of nasty take that with a grain of salt or some spit all right let's keep going actually they probably went over here over here all right this thing continues this this route continues all the way to the river [Applause] oh they can't go this way they're locked in it is disgusting i'm just reporting look i didn't do it i'm just reporting what other kids have done i'm just an observer there's a lot of kids here okay and i do what i i observe that's what i do oh hey look at that look at the little teeny one over there trying to hide i see you hey i see you too touch my finger touch my finger where you going they're so majestic i wish that i had a pond that i could i could uh put them in but there's nowhere where i live now where i could do that so it was always nice you know if i needed to take a break i could walk out here and just kind of hang out with the carp or it takes your mind off of other stuff here comes a big one are they gonna meet battle battle do it do it no you guys are friends probably how you doing guys remember me i'm that guy that was just sitting around drinking a beer remember me no no they're not impressed they're not impressed with john hey i'm one of you i could be if i take off this jacket and shoes and jump in it's hard to talk with them because i don't know their language yeah i don't see any more here it's nice i i thought i always thought this was a nice place to live and when i moved out before i found a new apartment my landlord was like let me try to find you something in the area don't leave this area you're going to regret it she said i don't know i kind of live in a nice area actually i was like yeah okay i kind of regret it i get it i get that all right over there is a really nice um like a shrine there's a shrine over there that uh it's about a 10 minute walk it's quite far to get to i'm not going to take you there this time when the festival comes back on in july i will but what i want to do is i want to take you to a house actually there's just like nobody here like nobody here it's like a ghost town it's a motorbike guy i'm gonna show you a house that's been here since um the they said the meiji period the family i met them once it's right here on the corner it's kind of neat and if you do go around and um around the not so much in tokyo but if you do go around the city especially outside of the city you'll find these really old family houses now this plot of land has been in the family probably for centuries because it's so big now these days in tokyo you cannot buy a plot of land this big after the taisho era then the showa era the plots got smaller and smaller and the buildings got higher and higher and this building uh is a house it's a fascinating old japanese style house of course it's gone undergone renovations and and stuff but i always tried to find the owner i always wanted to go inside and film see what it looks like on the inside but i could never find the person except for that one time that came outside that door i said how you doing and then they just kind of ran away oh no they took all the vending machines that were here away this used to be um i did a couple of uh like a christmas pepsi stuff here in 2018 it's all gone there's vending machines that's an amazing house isn't it all right i just wanted to show you this road here and then i'm going to walk back towards the station um again it's for me this is super nostalgic to be walking around my neighborhood it feels pretty cool to have you guys with me uh hit the thumbs up if you like these neighborhood walk videos because i get a couple of the other neighborhoods in this area that are pretty unique especially koiwa which is just a stone's throw away from here hey you kids you shouldn't be doubling up i saw that hey you battling kids i see you guys doubling up only one on a bicycle that's the wrong person [Music] see i used to live here i was a i was an elder so should have to keep the people in line young the young ones i was one of those this is a pretty neat looking cafe i'm just joking for the people for the people that are uh like believe everything that i do i'm just kind of joking around i didn't was not an elder that that was a cafe and that was pretty neat and it looks like um hansel and gretel we're there i don't know i'm not that old i'm the same age as all of you so let's relax [Music] break the internet all right we're going on the way back i can't obviously go on the same street so we're gonna cross over obviously there's not a lot of traffic check it out do you see what i see sky trees 600 meters high in the distance really tall that sky tree in the distance there you go okay kind of far away from skytree well it is the season i'm putting up my christmas tree tonight i thought i would do it after halloween but i got busy canai's performance was on sunday it's one of the reasons uh saturday that's one of the reasons why i haven't been live streaming i'm busy helping kanai with filming and preparing for her dance thing that i actually didn't really do that much but i kind of helped but sometimes helping i get in the way so i try not to do that try to stay out of the way all right this is the anpanman vending machine it's pretty sweet literally because it's mostly like sweet drink boxes and stuff let's play music listen [Music] it's talking to me that machine's been there for ages uh i'm just in love with this house i i rarely see the owners not today either not sure what i would say hi i used to live here you remember me i would stalk your apartment and your house trying to get access to film it because it's so beautiful you let me in it doesn't work you'd think it would work but all right let's take this back alley here twins hey mario valentine an insider guess what i got something i'm dropping on for the insiders as well as a secret stream coming appreciate that i got one of my memos coming on on travel every couple of months i put a new one up there awesome hey denise is here how does an old house like that manage to stick around i don't know i guess the the family members are stronger right people seem to want to stick around here if the kids move away they go to university they get married they never come back that's a problem but sometimes they stick around and then if they have a money or a business or something then it's easy for them to uh to keep the business going oh he's got one of those rca covers for his head that's a good boy donkey all right this used to be a ramen shop but they had a fire that they had led lights around this window and it was so bright the neighbors here i think complained because it was it was just too bright it looked like it was midnight to be like like noon and then they had a fire here and you could see that the flames i don't know it was the led light but the flames had like burned a little bit of the building so they had to repaint it over something but of course they went out of business and a lot of little schools and laundromats and you'll see stuff that that residents need so let's go back to the main street here that's an interesting little side trip yeah i do miss this time a little bit yeah that ramen shop i never even went in there because it was in business and out of business so quickly by the time i went to walk there that's when i discovered the fire okay i wanted to get my new bicycle at this shop but their prices were too high so i never bought anything from here but i did repair a flat tire twice they're very friendly and they have free air i like that all you can air that's for free oh they're the guys totally different dudes though they're fixing a flat another pachinko place oh this place is still in business i'm so happy about it they make some really good draeyaki and confections let's see if we can get something should we try to get something all right let's see what we can find in here oh they have matcha matcha flavored dragaki all right that's so high on my list what is that um this is cookie this is the normal let's try this [Music] seriously us [Music] oh that was so cheap i'm still going to go to the bakery for for kanai hey that lawson's is still in business that used to be one of the dvd shops sorry sorry vhs dvd shops that i used to visit it went out of business and then it turned into a lawsons it used to be a natural lawsons i think but now it's just a regular lawsons it was suzuki suzuki dvd rental and bookshop and mr suzuki i got a membership there and then within within um a year he mr suzuki had gone out of business because tsutaya opened up nearby and then put mr suzuki out of business so i was a little bit upset about that mr suzuki had a shop there and then one over there and you know i tried to rent as many videos as i can to keep them in business but you know can't do that sometimes just one man cannot support a local business alone requires the help of an entire community my community failed oh my mom got sick once when she visited and she came here shinozaki my clinic whoa see this yoshinoya i only ate here once in 13 years i don't know why i think when i'm at my my home i don't want to eat yoshinoya just like something that you would eat if you're somewhere else and you can't get home but since i lived right there why would i eat yoshinoya doesn't make sense this is a great yakiniku place here on the corner a korean owner really friendly when i first came here in 1998 they didn't have dvds it was rare they had vhs so when i brought a bag home i would spend like like eight dollars and i would get like five vhs's and i wouldn't go back for a week and because i didn't really like japanese tv i didn't understand what was going on vhs tapes are all i really had i didn't have a lot of friends either because i just moved there [Music] yeah tataya is the blockbuster of oh there's the police station the koban i remember making friends with one of the guys and he's he asked me how old i was and he said why aren't you married i said i don't know man i said do you know anybody he didn't he wasn't married either i wonder why but police officers they know that people that are um that are married are less likely to commit crimes and stuff i i see they got new windows there the coppers here that's good one time so one time i um nothing's really changed it's still a glassy shop here so one time i found a man that had passed out in front of the station he was just i thought he was i don't know if he was alive or dead and i didn't know how to check his vitals and stuff but he was he was just sprawled out on the floor and not moving obviously drunk you could smell it so i came to the police station to ask them and they said whoa it's a big crow ah i see you toby evil can't hide and foliage i have eyes that can penetrate leaves like unlike 5g millimeter waves let's see if this used to be the mr donuts oh so the police by the way just to finish the story the police told me um just never mind he'll be okay that was it so i went home i guess i guess his wife came all right there's this is one of my final stories now so this shop here this shop here is something else it's a actually it's a gyoza shop which smells really nice used to be a um uh oyster shop but now it's turned into a uh gyoza shop but it used to be mr donuts i love mr donuts and when i moved here mr donuts was very far away there wasn't anything here but if you look here between the buildings up there is my building okay and there's the window right there's a light on in the center i remember walking past here getting to my door and i i walked past here and i stopped right there and i said wait a second and i went backwards here and i stopped and i looked this direction there was a sign that said mr donuts and i could smell the donuts frying my life changed for two years three times a week i would get my my breakfast here and i would hang out here and in the second floor i could work and and do stuff and it was really cool and then one day mr donuts was gone i don't know what happened it just turned into a different shop i don't know shops here in japan they don't stick around forever they kind of just go away this is this is now a um some kind of beauty parlor that's closed but it used to be suzuki's other uh dvd shop i'm sure mr suzuki sold out and did okay i know he used to be mr donuts what happened no offense to the gyoza but you're not mr donuts imagine having all of the having all the pokemon donuts and stuff right now mr donuts has pokemon pikachu donuts very nice i do like how the police they're on patrol that's really nice over here the buses so there were buses here as well and inside of the station there were buses and sorry there's a subway right there but these buses would would connect and fill in the dots and that was always really nice all right let's sit here for a second and try this put the tripod on you somebody said why is the quality of these live streams so low and i said it's because these are live streams it's been an uptick in complaints on mobile live stream quality my response some people call me the human callus you you can criticize me all you want it's not gonna hurt my feelings i'm not i really have nothing to say to you you cry all you want this is low quality raymond i know it's crazy uh expiration date is uh 25th so these are fresh this is called a uh annama drayaki so it's it's kind of raw i don't know um i might save this for kanai i think you've seen dryaki before so i want to try this one here i don't know what this is this is an edogawa which is see the fireworks because this is where the fireworks are famous um looks like and there's a koi we saw the koi before this encompasses all of this area so it's a local speciality right carrie you got it i know a 720p ain't that bad but you can't satisfy people that are not are pixel counters they count all the pixels and they they they missed the story and they counted the pixels i don't i don't know why that's so important but they do that alcohol wipe safety first oh wow it's like a little bun i thought it was i thought it was like a metal pond but it's like a little bun see what's inside here oh what is that i'm gonna find out in a second now i think when when 5g and the phones catch up it's going to take a little while but we'll have full hd size live stream soon we had we you know what these live streams used to be only 480p when i started then they upgraded to 720. so we've seen the evolution next up in full full hd here we go wow no it's not like a burger it's sweet itadakimasu um this i want you to imagine a twinkie but it's fresh and high quality imagine a high quality twinkie that's what this is all right i wish i had a coffee no mr donuts here and this cream is more like butter it's like a buttercream it's pretty good i love the confections here in japan oh wow it's sweet but there's a little bit of saltiness to it i like that good balance i'm bringing this home for kanai wow what up what a great trip down memory lane i didn't expect it there's my building again and i always said if if i got robbed or something all i had to do was come outside and shout and the police would hear me right here right hates i've been robbed and then the police would come out i always thought that but i never had that situation because i i think i lived in a pretty safe place what do you think what do you think leave me a comment below and tell me would you live here could you live here would you be my neighbor mr rogers uh it's a beautiful place if you have a family i think that this is a great place to live but after 13 years it was time for me to live somewhere else and uh now i live in chewa ward which is only uh 10 minutes uh by bicycle to tokyo station nihonbashi lots of restaurants i can get to haneda and narita pretty quickly and that convenience is what i need for this job i love where i live i live in a really nice place so um not mr robinson mr mr rogers mr robinson's eddie murphy i remember i love that skit too it's the best ever um there you go so i hope you enjoyed this too this connects up pretty good with with my apartment tour from 2018 when i moved out a very nostalgic moment in my life where i had to leave my apartment um i think that video did pretty good i think it's like 100 000 views or something but definitely check that out if you haven't already see the apartment that i used to live in which is right there uh the tatami room and the two rooms and the black fungus and all the other stuff that kind of scared me out that's another reason why i had to leave but i always have a fondness for shinozaki and this neighborhood and i'm sure i'll be back again someday to say hi can i used to come here too so we'll both come here and and reminisce a little bit shinozuki park which is beautiful is not too far away and we can rent bicycles because i have a bicycle a rental car that allows me to rent bikes and you can rent bikes in the basement of shinozaki station it's two dollars for 24 hours that is so cheap so if you're thinking about just riding around you can ride to koiwa to the river you can ride all through nature here uh just two dollars uh to register and get a bicycle
