New Year's LUCKY BAGS in Japan!!! Worth the Hype?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- The Hype: Fukubukuro (福袋) or Lucky Bag is a Japanese New Year custom where stores assemble grab bags filled with unknown random contents & sell them at a substantial discount, usually 50% or more off the list price. Popular stores' fukubukuro are often sold out quickly & some stores have lines of people waiting to Get Some! Recently, orders can be made online & the goods delivered or picked up at your convenience.
----------
The Reality: Fukubukuro are an easy way for stores to unload excess & unwanted merchandise from the previous year, due to a Japanese superstition that one must not start the New Year with unwanted items from the previous year & start clean. Nowadays, some fukubukuro are pushed as a lavish New Year's event, where the contents are revealed beforehand, but this practice is criticized as just a renaming of selling things as sets.

What a fun video to watch. The Dad-Son duo should become a routine. Mega is the best cohost ever. His cool and calm nature is a perfect match for Eric's more extroverted nature. Amazing chemistry. More, please. Thanks, Eric. You are a fun Dad.
だいぶ前から鉄ありましたよ😂

毎回のさとみくんの反応がおもろいし、可愛い( ´ー`)
Nothing against mega but I like the videos with just Eric better I usually only hear mega say yeah ab 4000 times in a video an that’s it
Love the father son videos alot ❤️❤️❤️ please more videos
@@rickygrayson7070 guessing you don't have kids.
What a great comment I couldn't have said it better
Lucky bags are such a great idea! Wish they did similar in the UK!
That finger flick machine was awesome! Love the Japanglish!
Seen lucky/mystery bags sold at Comicons in the UK from different vender but that's about it. Regular shops should do them including food places... A subway lucky bag would be cool 😋
Adorable to see them modeling the clothes and enjoying themselves. “This is nice!” ❤
Mega became way more comfortable in front of the camera. It is nice to see your adventures throughout years Eric :)
is he his boyfriend?
@@galinag.8386 Mega is his son!
I love it when your son joins you for the video. You both really enjoy each other company it's heart warming.
The end of the video is hilarious where you asked what the pillow says and the game immediately says: Today's a good day for challenge 😄 🤣
hearing megabrain giggling at u both trying to get off the beanbags made me smile from ear to ear, hes a sweet kid, every video u do with him is my fave!!!
Hi rs cloe, may i ask? I got a message that I am a snack pack winner? Any way to confirm it is really Eric?
@Another Butt4Chair he will usually comment on your comment on here but im not sure if thats changed now, he will only really ask for your email if it is him:)
That intro was awesome lmao, I love how he was trying to stay in the camera and kept looking at you 😂
Damn I love the Japanese people. These last 5 years have been an honor making battery cells with Panasonic and the Japanese.
Thanks for sharing! This was so fun to watch! My mom passed away in 2017 and we had a close relationship like you and Mega🥰 It made my heart so happy watching you guys try on clothes together and laugh and just be yourselves!
Family time is precious! ✔💯😇
Your Japanese New Year vids are a New Years watching tradition now for me. Thank you and happy New Year.
Same for me too
I love this. I look forward to this every year. It’s so much fun. I wish they did it by us. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
クリーパーが出てきてびっくりして

さとみくんまた噛んじゃってるの…🤦🏻♀💞
Wactching the opening of your Lucky bags was a lot of fun . You guys kept me laughing. And the finger flick game ,what a riot. Love it!
Thanks Sharon! Finger flick ftw! ✔💯😇
I loved this video, so fun
35:47 I love the ice cream washi tape
That was a lot of fun to watch.
Great lucky bags if your favourite colour is black 😂
I love the idea of lucky bags to celebrate the New Year, although most lucky bags or mystery bags over here are usually just full of rubbish they can't sell.
Japanese stores seem to have better morals when filling their luck bags :)
Great video!
Y’all got some awesome deal!! Especially the puma bag, this was a fun video, mega is really coming into his own 💗
I love it when mega smiles, you have a great family you guys look like you have so much fun together
I sent an email with all my info
Love the surprise bags, I agree the ones that are open and visible just seem pointless...it would be like giving everybody Christmas gifts but unwrapped !
Eric's Drip Time !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Crazy knowning i have been watching this channel for over a decade. Kind of forgot about it (as always :P such is life) But i saw the video pop up in my feed and it reminded me. Great content as always. Love the energy. The kids are all grown up now haha
When Eric put the beenie on I thought "Bringing down the house" with Steve Martin! 🤣
A bonus today! Lots of great stuff; my favourite was the kitchenware, but you can never go wrong with Under Armour. The Baskin Robbins ice cream looked so dense & delicious & was thoughtfully served in a cone, with a spoon; that's brilliant. The Village Vanguard bag didn't seem as exciting as they usually are, but I got a chuckle when the game said "today is a good day for challenge" as you were showing the pillow during the outro 😅
I loved watching you open all the bags, especially the housewares. That wooden bowl is lovely. Happy New Year‼️😊
The houseware stuff is nice! ✔💯😇
That looks fun! 🎉 It’s like opening presents on Christmas morning! 😂
Happy New Year to everyone. I have to say I love the lucky bags every year
Lots of fun.Awesome things. Enjoy watching your content. Keep it coming in 2023. Blessed
Absoluutly loved this video laught so much. I love that kitchen bag its so beautiful.
Another extra video. Thank you... looks like your living off ice cream and burgers for the next few days 😄 🤣 sounds like heaven! X
Some nice lucky bags, and nice to see Mega feeling a bit more comfortable. Best of wishes to you both!
Mega brain is so grown up now! I remember when he was just a little kid. Awww, great video!
Thank you for watching for so long 🤗

These New Years videos are so great. All the best to you and your family in 2023.
Interesting bags that the stores have. I guess it's a way to get the people into the stores
Eric, Happy New Year to you and your family from NY. First, seeing Mt Fuji was a treat, have enjoyed traveling to Japan 3 times and loved it! The Lucky Bag custom was fun to watch, great surprises! I have a love of all things Japanese so enjoy your videos. Had the best cold coffee from a vending machine while there.
The icecream bag was so cool lots of great stuff in it and the fish cups amazing stuff always amazingand fantastic videos you put out all the time ::))
Thank you Florida 🤗
Fun video. Mr. Donut wow. Brings back memories. We had these in the United States but all are gone except 1. Mister Donut was my favorite growing up. Happy New Year.
Omg when you put that beanie on I couldn't stop laughing, you have both made my day 😀
Loved this one. I love under armor and village vanguard thumbs up. 😊
Woohoo!
Eric you are spoiling us with all these awesome videos in the last three days.

Jeezus! I haven't seen a Mister Donut... in ages!😳
Neat explanation Eric.✨👍
Wow you guys got a lot of nice thing from that shopping store 👍 what I good way to start off 2023 save those two fish 🥃 for a good beer or a ice coffee on your day off. The puma brand I seen it once on a commercial but the DC & armor brand is new to me the high quality clothing look great 😃✌️❤️
What a fun video! You got quite a haul. I think you got a really good deal on all the clothes and I loved the BR Washi tape. Those dishes were very nice. Oh and No Carl's or Hardees here in Upstate NY ... sadly. And All Hail Finger Flicking King! 🤣🤣
Another video I can't wait for each year from you, the lucky bags! Great to see Mega getting more involved all the time
Awesome video as always. Thank you for showing us so many cool things you can get there for gift sets.Happy New Year. Stay safe and healthy
Those bags are so cool! I’d probably end up buying too many of those if I were there.

One of my fav videos every year
Thanks Jamie! ✔💯😇
Happy New Year Eric ! This is the 6th New Year’s Mystery Bags opening that I’m watching of you and your family ! Much love from India ! 🇮🇳❤️😊
Another wonderful video Eric. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you with your son.
Happy New Year from Down Under. Our household totally look forward to 2023 with Eric and Mega. Cheers.
These are a brilliant idea. Man you guys did good here! Love the surprise factor of these. Awesome video Eric! Thankyou 🤝
Awww that was such a fun video! I love lucky bags!!!
You guys made out pretty well. A bunch of new clothes that look good on both of you. Some free food, etc. I think the dishes were my favorite, though. I wish they had these lucky bags in the US.
Love the video! I would go crazy buying them.
I guess that I would only go to the electronic shops.....
Thank you very much, Eric and Mega, for sharing your wonderful documentary with us.
Never!!! Fake!!!
The US should do mystery grab bags. You two Really racked up on some super cool clothing. Almost all of my athletic wear is Under Armor. Under Armor are big supporters for law enforcement and Military which is why I love them❤️ Where I live the under armor gives law enforcement 15-30% off all purchases when I show them my police ID and badge. It means so much to me💙
What a beautiful clear day there!!❤ fun shopping idea.
Dude the Flick Machine was hilarious. "Are you Full?",ha.
Haha that flick machine was brilliant 👌 it’s the little things lol
Yay, I was hoping you would do the Lucky bags. Always love it when you do them. 👜
Really enjoying Eric and mega together here’s to an epic 23 and more cool content from you guys
Cheers and beers from Ireland 🇮🇪
Wow great lucky bag video there was some epic stuff in this video earl would have loved all those items to wear in the woods
Omg - You still remember Earl? 🤣
A lot of fun! You two have a great New Year.
Eric is really spoiling us with the videos!
New Years Bonus! Lots happening in Japan! ✔💯😇
It's June 2024 but I loved watching your shopping haul! I'm grinning ear to ear. Great ending! I'm itching to finger flick the machine to try and beat your top score! LOL 🤣🤣🤣
My family and I just got back from a Japan vacation two days ago. Im wide awake now at 4am and watching this video! (Normally wake up at 630! Jet lag in effect!)
Thanks for the video EricSurf6!
Love these yearly videos !!! Thanks for sharing with us Eric!!
Good morning!
New subscriber!💖

Just like yesterday's video, I always look forward to this one as well. Its one of the best. I don't have anything like this in Northeast Pennsylvania. Great video !!!!! #
i just love Japan's Lucky Bags! So many different types of bags. love the vids!!!
Thanks Kel. Always fun to open them up!
This was so fun! Thank you for sharing!
Cheers Amanda! ✔💯😇
That was a fun video it be fun doing that on New Years all the time
Look forward to these videos
Great video, as always. Good price for all those clothes. Canada needs to do this instead of Boxing day deals. The gift bags for food is also a great idea. That finger flicking game was funny. Thanks for the laughs and entertaining my husband and I. 😊
