Welcome toe Akihabara.

We're back again for another gotcha pone adventure.

Now, we made a video on this a few years ago.

I gotcha punk icon and introduced What got Capone were and we had a lot of fun.

But what makes this time different is we're gonna be doing it in 3.

60 virtual reality video.

I'm gonna be meeting a friend of mine on the other side of the station.

Let's see, we could find her.

Akihabara is a crazy place.

Akihabara is the center of many Japanese subcultures, like anime, manga made cafes and electron ICS.

It's also known for having a lot of gotcha porn machines.

E found Manami at the end of the street.

So this is the first time we're getting a chance to meet you.

Why don't you introduce yourself?

Okay.

I went on me.

I'm 50 years old.

I was in Tokyo.

I loved and abate.

Where you from?

Originally?

Originally.

I'm from California.

L a All right.

But you're half right?

Yeah, E No, her mom.

So we're gonna be walking to the gotcha punk icon thing above us is the sober line.

The Jr Silver Line, which is quite famous.

This bridge that crosses the main street, this is the Chuo Dori, the main street that crosses through Tokyo.

I think if you go straight ahead Ginza, but the gotcha punk icon a lot of people have been asking me is straight down this road.

This is my first time back to gotcha punk icon since I cut open a gotcha pawn machine with YouTubers, Lincoln and Dan from what's inside last year, It'll be fun to see what new things they have this time.

It's just off Chuo Dori in this side street.

Do you see it?

There it is right there.

So this is gotcha, Punk icon, Your first timer.

There are hundreds of machines here, loaded with different items.

You could see how they've lined them up, four levels high.

You can also see glass cases that collectors rent to sell their gotcha pawn goodies.

In a way, this is like a museum of figures and toys.

There are two main corridors here.

Gotcha.

Funk icon mixes old machines with new ones, so you get a really unique experience.

Prices vary from 200 to 500 yen or 2 to $5.

Get 100 yen coins at the changer before starting.

Manami is now ready.

She looks high and low browsing for a Siri's she's into you can find gotcha upon from popular anime and manga.

Siri's like one piece and Dragon Ball Z on the other side.

Manami found one.

She likes some kind of bracelet from the Siri's.

You tano prince sama.

Let's see if she gets the one she wants e to get up there.

She needs to borrow one of the shops.

Ladders.

Hm.

Mhm.

Look, where'd you get?

Where'd you get?

Not sure.

Oh, that's small.

Iss.

Oh, what a character.

Oh, let's see.

Okay.

Who is it?

What s so the first attempt didn't go so well, But that means it's time to hit.

Other machines got over the next hour we hit a bunch of machines.

Many tie ups with brands I know quite well from the United States.

Some gotcha pawn machines have items that make great souvenirs from Japan, like plastic, sushi or ramen.

Some are just plain bizarre, making them super cool.

Manami went low And one this a golden egg mascot called good Retama.

She really loves things on chains After a few minutes into our gotcha pony, I ran into an only in Japan regular.

It's Chiyoko Dada from the monster Gyoza Manga Cafe and the last batch upon show.

He knows his Gotsche opponent showed us one he's really interested in.

So it's from a really popular anime from a 10 0 Did not want Is that the one you wanted?

No.

O.

C.

The Cuban wanted, like my crew are Yuki.

How did he?

But this guy?

No.

Okay, let me see.

You can have that.

I don't want that one.

Who is this?

That's killing Cheong.

He's like the straight man.

He's like the most boring character in the entire series, in my opinion.

So you got the most boring character.

It's pretty much like Ted from how I met your mother.

Okay.

All right.

So you want to try again with this on you?

Like I'm gonna Hopefully Hopefully I don't get this guy.

Okay.

Here Kai tries his luck again.

It's possible he gets the same one, but the odds are against it.

Eyes that the one you wanted?

No, but this is good, too.

Good.

Oh, look at him again.

Did she have, like, the little fang, which is always awesome, like the long green hair.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

So much, much better than this time.

It's my turn.

I'm or into Japanese food and cultural Gotcha.

Pawn items.

This one and this one because they look like real food models.

Thats one is yakitori.

This one are bowls of ramen.

Okay.

Yeah.

And who doesn't love ramen?

It's just Do you love ramen?

Got your pump, right?

Do you want that?

Like hanging on your key chain or something?

I don't know.

I'd be hungry all the time.

E I like the way that these look.

So I'm gonna go for the yakitori, and I'm gonna I'm gonna hope for the Nygma.

Okay?

Thats one is 200 yen, which is, and this one's 300 yen.

So that made it, uh, maybe decide No before what you got?

Uh, it's a good Yeah.

Yeah, that z not what I wanted, but it's actually pretty cool.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So it wasn't like something that you don't need.

This in the back was a weird gotcha pawn machine for 500 yen.

The price means it's going to be well made.

Its neck aura Neco, meaning cat ra, meaning God's era.

It's a monster cat.

Oh, that's not bad.

Oh, my leg zero.

Interesting O e.

You have some kind of problem?

Yeah, in the fact that it's skin looking awesome.

It's like it's like a punk rock Godzilla cat.

That should not happen to any cat.

I just What's even worse is the fact that has Thio.

That's for balance.

Because all reptile cats need to have to tell you it was a fun afternoon trying our luck.

It got Capone.

In all, we spent about 3500 yen or $35 on stuff, some of which is on display here.

Behind it, you can see those glass cases filled with collectibles much better than these.

Here's a closer look at some of the items we want, Right.

So I bumped into rush here, and you have some really amazing Got your poem?

Yes.

As we got, I got a new, more ice.

Yeah.

Then about off Don.

Yeah, that's true.

Looks realistic.

Yeah.

E think there's a couple of Oh, you got the sake.

Cup e got a wooden one.

E got things for sake.

Yeah.

E in this we're talking.

Oh, great.

So probably spent about 1000 yen or 2000 yen.

Yeah, 1000 yen 1000 years.

I like this quality is pretty good.

How much was this one?

300.

Not bad.

So these air good souvenirs from Japan?

Yeah.

Good souvenirs.

Very fast.

And if you're in a rush, just put it.

You can't get it right.

Russian, Russian, Russian.

Here's one of my favorite gotcha pull machines.

From this afternoon, the cat in a tissue box.

Siri's looks like you.

Mhm you go capsule of Texas's.

Mm.

Do you have a cap?

E Have a daily basis.

If I had a cat, I would want it to go inside of a tissue box just like this.

If you come to Japan, definitely stop into a gotcha pawnshop.

They even have them and not eat the airport.

So it's a perfect way to get rid of those pockets full of change.

A little souvenir shopping before the flight.

Happy Gotcha.

Pawn hunting.
