This is the central entrance to Tokyo station and inside here they have this really unique display that's not gonna be here for very long.

Some of these things, they come here for a few days and then they're gone magically quickly disappearing.

So I thought I would do this live stream to catch it because the book that was written on it, it's a japanese novel called bullet Train and it's kind of interesting that Hollywood has adapted it there it is through the window and in this episode we're gonna go in there and just take a quick look around how you doing everybody.

I was just here not that long ago yesterday and I saw this like, wait, alright, today is a rainy day, you can see it's kind of crappy outside.

So I switched it up, took a break from editing and I've come out here and believe it or not, even though this movie, this movie has already been playing in the US for a couple of months, maybe It doesn't start here until September one and if you have any questions, I guess there's other places we can see memorabilia that's kind of, it's kind of cool.

Like the movie set is here.

Oh, that's brad brad Pitt's outfit over there, wow!

Even though this is called bullet train, you think of japanese, they might call it shin content.

The reality is that they don't they call it bullet train and I don't know if that's because of uh an issue with Jr the use of the shinkansen, I don't know if that's possible to do if there's an issue about it.

But you can take a look here.

The movie posters are now out in Tokyo and it's kind of cool to see that.

Has anybody seen the movie?

What did you think of it?

I guess if you're going to ride the bullet train, you might as well get a picture sitting on the bullet train seat.

But those aren't the same bullet.

Those aren't the same seats as on the shinkansen.

They're completely different.

I don't even know if they're the ones in the movie, are they?

But it's kind of cool to sit in the same position that I don't know the same seat that might have been used in the movie.

You can get a picture here.

Should I get a picture?

I guess I can get a picture.

I don't know, I gotta, I'll come back and get the picture because I have a video camera.

I don't know if that's right.

This is kind of cool.

There's some member, there's some information here from Jr Central Japan Railway company about the movie.

You can get an original smartphone stand that's kind of neat to 2000 people.

There's lots of different presents and stuff and I guess there's the QR code if you want to scan that.

I guess that's the, that's from the book, right?

They have this different shinkansen train, they couldn't do it the same way and I have to be honest, let's take a look at the display here in my video animated opening.

I had copyright issues with the design of the train in my animated opening and I had to make sure that the art studio studio, which is the animators of my um Youtube opening, made the train different enough.

So you couldn't so it wasn't exactly like the shinkansen and I think, I think they did a pretty good job actually had Japan rail.

Check it out just to confirm that it was different enough and they said it was okay, it's different enough.

That was a relief because you don't want to have a copyright issue with Japan rail.

So there's the music, there's the movie poster.

Uh Burrito Train, it says brad.

Oh pito, it's kind of cool.

Looks pretty tough.

That's so cool.

Check out the train seats sir, they kind of look a little flimsy.

The juice.

Yeah, wow.

And it's right next right behind the shinkansen.

Like this is the, there's the entrance of the shinkansen that you would probably use to get on the train.

That might have been in the movie.

This is the Hokkaido Shinkansen that goes towards Kyoto and Osaka.

Hey brock Donny is here, thank you.

I might just get a ticket and I can get a platform ticket And if we get enough likes, I might take you to the shinkansen platform.

Where is this other, these other seats here?

Hold on a 2nd.

I guess it's on the the ISIS side first floor.

Maybe they change it.

So these seats are gonna be here on display.

It looks like it's gonna be here until the october 10th, wow.

So it just kind of started the promotion for the movie.

That's the real mount fuji apparently, but nothing else in the movie seems like it was gonna, it's it's real sky trees real, that's kind of cool to the sky trees in the poster and of course they've got japanese mascots.

I think it's more of a comedy.

I don't know like an action comedy, but one of the reasons why it doesn't start until September one.

And one of the reasons why is because Hollywood movies have to book way in advance to get the theaters and sometimes they don't they can't do that.

Sometimes the Hollywood movies can't book in advance, so what's left over is a date that's very inconvenient.

So they have to book further in advance than their budgets allow for the promotions.

So that's sort of what happens for most of them.

That's what I've been told by some ad executives as well.

That's so cool.

You know.

Mhm.

I saw this in the US and the movie was awesome.

Rights and adventurous banana fish.

It's just kind of cool.

It's just kind of cool that it's it's here in in Tokyo station where the shinkansen actually is?

So there you go, that's the display from from the Tokyo station for the movie.

I hope you enjoyed it.

It's a sunday.

So there's not that many people roaming around as usual.

Usually people are returning home from taking trips out but because vacation just ended here in Tokyo, not a lot of people are going out this weekend and the weather also kind of deciding that for me, I didn't really want to travel too far away by the way.

Everybody.

Hey aloha craig, everybody's telling, trying to correct me for my pronunciation.

Well, a dozen people trying to correct me for my pronunciation of Asakusa, that's how they announced it on the Tokyo Metro but they never correct me when I say Tokyo.

So I don't understand how these um the word snobs want me to say words in the way that they think it's correct.

Like foreigners want me to say words that the way that they think it's correct but they won't correct the other things.

Just the word Asakusa, this seems to drive some people so mad that I'm just gonna keep saying it the way I want to say it the way that it's announced on Tokyo Metro next stop Asakusa.

So take that if you want to go ahead and correct every single foreigner when they say Tokyo, it's actually Tokyo, you never, you never correct me when I say that.

Do you trolls so suck it.

That's how you tell them off.

You want to be consistent.

You better pick up every single japanese words stop picking on Asakusa.

Alright take that.

It's a cool afternoon here we got Mukund already telling it's technically not incorrect.

That's true, phonetically correct.

It's kind of cool to see the displays through the windows of the station.

So in 100 years when this becomes a classic Hollywood film, this might be worth something when Hollywood pictures come to Japan and make a video on it.

Why do they do that though?

If anyone watched the movie, I don't think that the movie really follows the book.

I think it's more made for Hollywood.

I don't get anything wrong with that.

I think it's, it's just cool that the concept was, was taken and um um turned into a movie and it's now it's coming here to Japan so I'm certainly gonna go and see it.

But Like I always wonder why Hollywood wants to ruin it and Americanize non-American culture.

So it's palatable for the audience.

The audience is a little bit more sufficient.

Well maybe I take that back, but a lot of the audience is more sophisticated.

Japan is no longer this weird place.

It's also, it's now a place that people, you know, almost 40 million tourists come here, 35 million tourists came here in 2019.

So it's a pretty big deal.

People know more about Japan.

You don't have to fake it.

You don't have to force it.

People get it at least on this channel at least on this channel.

Yeah, the movie is the movie did pretty well and it's an exciting that it's coming here And in the end I don't really care about the inconsistencies.

I just a little bit curious about how, how Japan gets so messed up in the Hollywood translations of, of everything.

Looking through the door.

That's kind of cool to see the buzz of Tokyo station from a distance.

All these people were in an action movie.

Hey, there's a tour group.

Are these foreigners?

Should I wave to them?

They, they look japanese to me.

You could tell if there were other asian tour groups by the shoes.

Sometimes Welcome to Japan.

Just having fun.

Thanks everybody for watching.

It's the last day to get a postcard.

This is for, you know from the patreon.

This is the august postcard that's a volcano steaming and the beautiful lavender of, of you know, that's this month's postcard and it'll change coming in september 1st.

So you got a couple of days to get that one Boy Scout stamps.

101 100th anniversary celebrated here in Tokyo this month.

And God, what else is going on?

I got the video release coming soon.

I just haven't been happy with it.

The Japanese Melon auction.

Why did this?

Why these melons cost $46,500.

Who would pay for that and why?

So I went to your body and I interviewed everybody went to the farm three months ago and then at four months ago and then at the auction about 2.5 months ago.

So I'm pretty excited to release this episode.

It's a long time coming.

Um but with all the travel and the filming I've been doing over the last couple of months, you can, I guess you can assume that there's a barrage of content coming and a lot of filming going on.

Everybody.

It's, there's a story behind everything and it's just fascinating.

The more you look at the bizarreness that is Japan, the more you start to understand the culture and learn.

It's not that bizarre when you, when you think about it, it's not that bizarre and I'll be talking about it in the director's uh take on this probably next week.

It's a lot of stuff that's gonna be going on.

I'm kind of glad that summer's over.

The seventh wave has killed a lot of uh the ambition, but everything comes to an end and life has to keep on going.

That means the end of the tour tourism band and I bet you we're gonna have some pretty positive announcements coming in the next six weeks.

So I will be here for you and ready and able to charge.

We're gonna make some, we're gonna make some music.

I'm so excited.

Alright.

See everybody john's bizarre adventure.

Yeah, you got that right?

I like how they're putting Q.

R.

Codes on billboards and stuff.

Does anybody actually, you know, use that And look at stuff.

Should I make it only in Japan?

Q.

R code for subscribers?

I don't know actually.

That might not be.

That might be a pretty interesting idea.

Science project.

How many people actually subscribe from a Q.

R code posted in the station advertisement.

Look at the rain's coming down now.

How am I gonna get home?

I don't have any rain gear.

That's my problem.

You guys stay dry.

See you again in the live stream.

Buy from Tokyo Station.
